@@ -3857,30 +3857,42 @@ output.) The block may contain just a title, a title and an author,
or all three elements. If you want to include an author but no
title, or a title and a date but no author, you need a blank line:
- %
- % Author
+```
+%
+% Author
+```
- % My title
- %
- % June 15, 2006
+```
+% My title
+%
+% June 15, 2006
+```
The title may occupy multiple lines, but continuation lines must
begin with leading space, thus:
- % My title
- on multiple lines
+```
+% My title
+ on multiple lines
+```
If a document has multiple authors, the authors may be put on
separate lines with leading space, or separated by semicolons, or
both. So, all of the following are equivalent:
- % Author One
- Author Two
+```
+% Author One
+ Author Two
+```
- % Author One; Author Two
+```
+% Author One; Author Two
+```
- % Author One;
- Author Two
+```
+% Author One;
+ Author Two
+```
The date must fit on one line.
