I am trying to make a latex template for reuse by me and other people in my lab. The template reference is a word doc. I have gotten most of the way using the asme2e class, but I am having trouble with the author blocks.
This is the target:
I've tried authblk to do this, but authblk will not load for me. I get an error:
authblk.sty:113: Undefined control sequence. [\xdef\AB@author{\noexpand\AB@blk@and\@author]
So, I am trying to do this without authblk, but have the solution be as simple as possible so others (and myself a year from now) can use it. Others may have more than or less than 3 authors.
For example, I don't want to abuse title like here.
Here is some code that include my preamble.
\documentclass[twocolumn,10pt]{asme2e}
\bibliographystyle{asmems4}
\usepackage{epsfig,graphics,amssymb,amsmath,graphicx,indentfirst,subfig,float}
\usepackage{expl3}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_new_eq:NN \Repeat \prg_replicate:nn
\ExplSyntaxOff
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}
{\bfseries\MakeUppercase}{\thesection}{1em}{}
\papernum{XXXXX-XXXXX}
\title{Your Title Here}
\conffullname{Proceeding of the ASME Super Awesome Conference}
\confdate{xx-xx}
\confmonth{XXXX}
\confyear{XXX}
\confcity{city, state}
\confcountry{country}

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

Thanks!
