how to format authors to the abstract of a paper
There is a 'special' html format allowing to style nicely the authors of a paper when you add them to the abstract.

the html code is not very involved:
<ul class="authors-list" > <li>author1 </li> <li>author2 </li> </ul>
which is rendered as:

<li><a href=mailto://s.mekid@manchester.ac.uk>S. Mekid</a> </li>
</ul>

Clicking on the first name takes you to the author´s page on the IPROMS site. The second author hasn´t registered, or hasn´t supplied their name, but they did publish their email address, so that´s what I´ve linked to :)
