Summary description: Automatic deduplicated affiliation numbering
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
autoaffil is a new LaTeX package that provides the author/affiliation layout style common in physics and related fields: all authors appear in a single block with superscript numbers linking each name to a list of affiliations printed below — the style native to revtex4-2 with the superscriptaddress option, and familiar from journals such as Physical Review Letters.
The package brings this style to the standard article class and compatible classes. Authors and affiliations are declared individually in the preamble; identical affiliation strings are automatically deduplicated and numbered in order of first appearance; \maketitle outputs the complete block.
Package options: ranges (compress 3+ consecutive numbers to n--m), superaftercomma (revtex4-2-style comma placement), nobreak (prevent line breaks within name+superscript units), and manual (suppress auto-insertion for full placement control). The only dependency is etoolbox.
