The APA class lacks documentation

Reported by: helg0116@… Owned by: lasgouttes
Priority: high Milestone: 1.5.1
Component: documentation Version: 1.3.7
Severity: normal Keywords: patch

Description

The TwoAuthors paragraph style does not work in APA documents. Attempting to use
this gives the error:

LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end.

\maketitle

repeated three times and followed by:

Undefined control sequence.

\maketitle

Inserting \maketitle in ERT causes additional errors.
Inserting \twoauthors in the preamble gives the same errors.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create an APA document.
  2. Use TwoAuthors instead of Author.
  3. Export to PDF.

Expected Results:
Export works with proper formatting.

Actual Results:
Export fails with above errors.

This was tested on Ubuntu Dapper flight 5.

Summary: TwoAuthors does not work in APA styleThe APA class lacks documentation

The real problem is that APA is not documented at all AFAICS. It severely needs
some documentation, at least a template file.
