A colleague of mine has a LaTeX question. In the past (about five years
ago), he would use \twocolumn[header text], with the title, author, and
abstract substituted in as the header text, to get the title, author,
and abstract at the top of the page and written across the width of the
page before the two columns begin. Now he's been trying to do the same
thing and it's producing error messages about missing braces.
Anyone know what the problem might be? Has there been a change in the
syntax requirement for \twocolumn?
Works fine for me. Sample doc attached. Maybe he's using a package
that redefines the twocolumn command?
