Latex problem: document details (author, date etc) will not display


The following are the two tex input files written in vi and compiled with pdflatex. In the first case the document details (author, date etc) are displayed as desired but are omitted in the second case. Can someone please explain why? The only difference is the use of maketitle. Thanks in advance.

Case 1:

\documentclass{article}
\author{Name}
\date{}
\title{Title}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Text to be inputted
\end{document}

Case 2:

\documentclass{article}
\author{Name}
\date{}
\title{Title}
\begin{document}
Text to be inputted
\end{document}

Welcome to LQ!

\maketitle is the command that puts the info within the document (things in the document environment)
