We have now finished with our discussion of macros which PHYZZX defines for simplifying the formatting of the body of a paper. To complete our discussion of the paper generating capabilities of PHYZZX we now have to turn to the question of generating the title page. A SLAC title page has several parts. First, in the upper right hand corner of the title page one has the publication number, date of submission and a line telling whether this paper is to be distributed as T, E or T/E . This chunk of text has to be set up as a block with the appropriate typeface chosen for each line and then the entire block is right adjusted. This block is referred to as the pub-block Next comes the title of the paper, which is set in fourteen point type and this is followed by the list of authors and the institutions they come from. After the title and author list you have a choice. If you have a short abstract it is included at this point and printed on the title page. If, however, the abstract is too long, it will not fit on the title page. In this event you skip it and put it on the next page of the paper. After the abstract, or after the title and author list if the abstract is too long, we have a line which tells the journal to which the preprint has been submitted. The next line ends the main body of the title page. After this line the remaining material, which are contract acknowledgements, etc., are put at the bottom page in footnote format.
As you can see from this discussion the problem of formatting the title page can get to be quite difficult if we don't have special macros to help out. For this reason a special set of macros for formatting title pages has been included in PHYZZX.
