175.0. "<DATE> location on the title page" by JAWS::STRYKER (Stew Stryker) Tue Mar 31 1987 12:49

    I can't seem to get the <DATE> of the title page placed properly.
    I get the feeling that the problem is caused by my having three
    line in the <AUTHOR> tag.  I've tried it a bunch of different ways,
    but I just can't seem to get it on a separate line in some reasonable
    location on the page.
    
    If I put <DATE> before <TITLE>, the date appears in the upper left
    corner of the title page.  If I put it after <TITLE>, it appears just
    under the title (almost touching it, not so good looking).  If I put it
    after the <AUTHOR> line, it appears on the end of the third author
    line. 
    
    To clarify the last sentence, an example is in order:
    
    SOURCE:

    <TITLE>(Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover)
    <AUTHOR>(Elizabeth Taylor\
    15 Facelift Lane\
    Hollywood, California)
    <DATE>(April 1, 1987)
    
    PRODUCT:
    
    Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover
    
    Elizabeth Taylor
    15 Facelift Lane
    Hollywood, California April 1, 1987
    
    
    That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.  Any help would be
    appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

    No, the problem is a change in <date> since Bl06. <date> used to
    be a tag just for title pages in the GENERAL doctype. It is now
    a 'global' tag which produces the current date, with no implied
    formatting structure. You need to use <date> in some context,
    for example:
    
    <right_line>(<date>) or just <LINE>(<date>).
