-usage: mkauthlist [-h] [-a order.csv] [-d] [-f] [-i IDX]
-                   [-j {aj,apj,elsevier,emulateapj,mnras,prd,prl}] [-s] [-V]
-                   author_list.csv
-                   [author_list.tex]
- 
-A simple script for making latex author lists from the csv file
-produced by the DES Publication Database (PubDB).
- 
-Some usage notes:
-(1) By default, the script does not tier or sort the author list. The
-'--sort' option does not respect tiers.
-(2) An exact match is required to group affiliations. This should not
-be a problem for affiliations provided by the PubDB; however, be
-careful if you are editing affiliations by hand.
-(3) The script parses quoted CSV format. Latex umlauts cause a problem
-(i.e., the Munich affiliation) and must be escaped in the CSV
-file. The PubDB should do this by default.
-(4) There are some authors in the database with blank
-affiliations. These need to be corrected by hand in the CSV file.
