\maketitle
The \maketitle command generates a title on a separate title
page - except in the article class, where the title normally
goes at the top of the first page.
Information used to produce the title is obtained from the
following declarations:
See section Page Styles for the commands to give the information.
\author: Who wrote this stuff?
\date: The date the document was created.
\thanks: A special form of footnote.
\title: How to set the document title.

\author{names}
The \author command declares the author(s), where names is a
list of authors separated by \and commands. Use \\ to separate
lines within a single author's entry -- for example, to give
the author's institution or address.
############################################################
\date ::date::

\date{text}
The \date command declares text to be the document's date.
With no \date command, the current date is used.

############################################################
\pagestyle ::pagestyle::
############################################################
\pagestyle{option}
The \pagestyle command changes the style from the current
page on throughout the remainder of your document.
The valid options are:
plain - Just a plain page number.
empty - Produces empty heads and feet - no page numbers.
headings - Puts running headings on each page. The
document style specifies what goes in the headings.
myheadings - You specify what is to go in the heading
with the \markboth or the \markright commands.
\markboth: Set left and right headings.
\markright: Set right heading only.
############################################################
\markboth ::markboth::
############################################################
\markboth{left head}{right head}
The \markboth command is used in conjunction with the page
style myheadings for setting both the left and the right
heading. You should note that a "left-hand heading" is
generated by the last \markboth command before the end of
the page, while a "right-hand heading" is generated by the
first \markboth or \markright that comes on the page if
there is one, otherwise by the last one before the page.
############################################################
\markright ::markright::
############################################################
\markright{right head}
The \markright command is used in conjunction with the page
style myheadings for setting the right heading, leaving the
left heading unchanged. You should note that a "left-hand
heading" is generated by the last \markboth command before
the end of the page, while a "right-hand heading" is generated
by the first \markboth or \markright that comes on the page
if there is one, otherwise by the last one before the page.
############################################################
\thispagestyle ::thispagestyle::
############################################################
\thispagestyle{option}
The \thispagestyle command works in the same manner as the
\pagestyle command except that it changes the style for the
current page only.
