What do \makeatletter and \makeatother do?

I'm trying to use a template with the following content:

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,10.5pt]{report}
\usepackage{a4wide}

\usepackage{styles/thesis_style}
\usepackage{styles/functions}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont[BoldFont={Helvetica Bold},ItalicFont={Helvetica Oblique}]{Helvetica}

\title{Towards Storing Point Clouds in PostgreSQL}
\author{Michel Ott}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
\include{./titlepage}

Then in the ./titlepage file there is the following:

{ \huge \bfseries \@title}\\[2cm]
...

Now I get the following error:

! You can't use `\spacefactor' in vertical mode. \@->\spacefactor \@m {} l.29 
{ \huge \bfseries \@ title}\\[2cm] ?

How can I fix this?

    @melbic The @ is the problem see the link quoted by egreg. – yannisl May 02 '12 at 13:33

    The linked question treats the problem, but to an un-experienced user it might not give the clue as what to do. Hence I vote to reopen. – yo' Jan 08 '13 at 22:38

    It is infuriating that I am looking for the exact same answer @melbic is looking for, but instead of a simple and concrete solution, it is closed with a link to a semi-related broad-topic question. Just... why? – Felix Jassler Apr 30 '22 at 07:13
  • After a bit more research, I think using the titling package from this answer is way more straight-forward than trying to get \makeatletter and \makeatother to work. – Felix Jassler Apr 30 '22 at 07:27
  • I had such an error by using \@ifundefined with the compulsory \makeatletter and \makeatother inside a \newcommand definition. I had to put \makeatletter and \makeatother outside the \newcommand definition, surrounding it. ´:-) – loved.by.Jesus Aug 17 '22 at 11:17
