How to add a subtitle in class article in Latex?

52.7k Views Asked by At

I am writing a report in Latex and my document class must be article. I want to add some additional text under my title but I can't find anything that would correspond to a subtitle command. Does anyone have any suggestions?

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\title {Title}
\author{Name}
2

Hopefully, I found a very easy and quick solution:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\title {Title \\[1ex] \large Subtitle}
\author{Name}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

Text.
\end{document}
