How to use authblk's @author outside maketitle (or other way to get easy-to-use author lists in document...
The Problem: I am running into issues trying to use the author list created by authblk and stored in @author outside of the maketitle command, and cannot figure out what is happening -- detail below.
Is there a robust way to utilize that variable outside that command?
Or do you have a better suggestion for creating an easy-to-use environment with arbitrarily many authors/affiliations?
Background: I'm building an extension to the article class to enable users with very limited LaTeX knowledge to typeset documents in a specific layout we publish in.
Each document may have several authors/affiliations, and I would like them to be able to just write author, affil (or whatever commands) as many times as necessary in the desired order, to fill in a pre-set layout. authblk seemed like the easiest solution for simple author/institution blocks at first, but upon dissecting the .sty file I'm starting to have doubts.
More detail: Here's a minimal document trying to use @author, that files to compile, with a lot of errors that seem to be related to a tabular environment (I'm not sure where that comes in; couldn't find it in authblk.sty).
documentclass{article}
usepackage{authblk}
makeatletter
newcommand{authorlist}{@author}
makeatother
author{Author Name}
affil{Some Organization}
author{Second Author}
affil{Second organization}
begin{document}
authorlist
This is the body.
end{document}
Note that one author/affiliation pair works fine; with more than one there is trouble.
Thanks in advance for any pointers or suggestions!
