[l2h] Can no longer have newlines in \author address

[Julius Smith]

The replacement below for do_cmd_author seems to fix this problem.
In two places,

             ($t_author,$t_affil,$t_address) = split (/\s*<BR>s*/, $t_author);

is replaced by

             @authspec = split (/\s*<BR>s*/, $t_author);
             $t_author = shift $authspec;
             $t_affil = shift $authspec;
             $t_address = join("<BR>", at authspec);

sub do_cmd_author {
     local($_) = @_;
     &get_next_optional_argument;
     my $next;
     $next = &missing_braces unless (
         (s/$next_pair_pr_rx/$next = $2;''/seo)
         ||(s/$next_pair_rx/$next = $2;''/seo));
     local($after) = $_;
     if ($next =~ /\\and/) {
         my @author_list = split(/\s*\\and\s*/, $next);
         my $t_author, $t_affil, $t_address;
         foreach (@author_list) {
             $t_author = &translate_environments($_);
             $t_author =~ s/\s+/ /g;
             $t_author = &simplify(&translate_commands($t_author));
#           ($t_author,$t_affil,$t_address) = split (/\s*<BR>s*/, $t_author);
             @authspec = split (/\s*<BR>s*/, $t_author);
             $t_author = shift $authspec;
             $t_affil = shift $authspec;
             $t_address = join("<BR>", at authspec);
             push @authors, $t_author;
             push @affils, $t_affil;
             push @addresses, $t_address;
         }
     } else {
         $_ = &translate_environments($next);
         $next = &translate_commands($_);
         ($t_author) = &simplify($next);
#       ($t_author,$t_affil,$t_address) = split (/\s*<BR>s*/, $t_author);
         @authspec = split (/\s*<BR>s*/, $t_author);
         $t_author = shift $authspec;
         $t_affil = shift $authspec;
         $t_address = join("<BR>", at authspec);
         push @authors, $t_author;
         push @affils, $t_affil if $t_affil;
         push @addresses, $t_address if $t_address;
     }
     $after;
}
