If you only want +APA-like citation for other kinds of documents use apacite.sty with +an appropriate class. In particular, apa.cls is *NOT* appropriate for +your thesis; don't even consider using it for that purpose. + +In order to use this document class you need some packages that may +not be present in your LaTeX distribution. Please read apacls.txt +carefully to understand what you need to install and what is possible +with apa.cls, then read examples.txt carefully to understand how to +use apa.cls (macros and instructions). Check out apaexample.tex, a +minimal example file that produces actual manuscript-like output. + +apa.cls is not in any way connected to, endorsed by, or probably known +at all at the American Psychological Association. APA does not even +accept manuscript submissions in LaTeX source. The author of apa.cls +has made every effort to achieve typesetting results conforming to +the APA manual, because he uses it for his manuscripts. However, he +is not responsible if the editor does not approve of a manuscript +typeset with apa.cls, if your computer blows up while processing your +manuscript with apa.cls, or for anything else that may go wrong with +apa.cls, or with anything else for that matter. + +Athanassios Protopapas +protopap@ilsp.gr +December 2008 + +====================== + +List of files in distribution: + +README This file +LICENCE apa.cls terms of distribution and use +apa.cls The APA-style document class +CHANGELOG.txt A text file documenting apa.cls updates +apacls.txt Instructions for using apa.cls (plain text) +apacls.html Description of apa.cls and usage instructions (HTML) +apaenum.txt Instructions for using APA list environments +examples.txt Guide with examples of correct apa.cls macro usage +apaexample.tex Sample APA-style manuscript using apa.cls +examplebib.bib Sample bibliography file accompanying apaexample.tex +APAendfloat.cfg Configuration file to make endfloat aware of longtable + and sideways table floating environments +*.apa Language-specific definitions of special APA-style + strings (section headings) + +Distribution maintainers: Please include *.apa and APAendfloat.cfg +configuration files with the apa.cls distribution under tex/latex/apa |
