I am writing a lab report on a project that I did with two lab partners. In the header, we have \author{my name}. However, I'd like to put my partners' names on the line below.

%Last updated 11/4/17
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{times} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath, graphicx, placeins,indentfirst, pdfpages}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}
\begin{document}
\title{Lab 3: Astrometry from CCD Images}
\author{my name
\newline {Partners: Partner 1, Partner 2}}
\date{\today}
\maketitle    
\end{document}

But I keep getting an error. How do I fix this? Thanks

  • Additionally how do I display latex code previews here? – Ned Tsui Nov 05 '17 at 05:56
  • I can't reproduce an error. With \author{my name \\Partners: Partner 1, Partner 2} i get the expected result. - Code formatting use: the code sample button {} (5. from the left above your code) or 4 spaces before the code. – Bobyandbob Nov 05 '17 at 06:08

    \newline has no effect in a tabular cell. Use \\ as in the comment above or \tabularnewline. You miht also want to have a look at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/209993/how-to-customize-my-titlepage/210280#210280 or https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Title_Creation – Johannes_B Nov 05 '17 at 06:09

    By the way, welcome to TeX.SX. You posted a great minimal example. :-) – Johannes_B Nov 05 '17 at 06:11
  • Perhaps a naive question but what error do you get? I get expected result too. – Robert Nov 05 '17 at 15:00
  • Is there any news here? – Johannes_B Dec 03 '17 at 12:42
