Thiele +2 NOV 2012 + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + + + The notes below focus on author-specific elements + in the userguide, and how to avoid common pitfalls. + + +1. UPDATING AND GENERATING NEW CLASS FILES + + Use the README file to generate the necessary class files and + instructions on where they should be stored on your machine. + + Check CTAN periodically for updates: + + http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nrc/ + + +2. DOCUMENTATION + + The Userguide has two main components: information on creating and + coding a file (sections 1 through 5), and additional information + for in-house staff (from section 6 to the end). + + +3. CLASS OPTIONS + + There are no new options. However, there is a simplification of + options for authors. + + The publicly available class files automatically activate + author-specific codes, and de-activate in-house codes (the log file + will provide information/warnings if the latter are accessed). It + is no longer necessary to explicitly insert author-specific codes + such as + + genTeX usecmfonts type1rest + + See section 2.1 for details. + + +4. ADDITIONAL PACKAGES + + Experience has shown that the following packages (all available + from CTAN) are consistently used and provide the additional + functionality authors (and the NRC Research Press) most often + require: + + graphicx rotating + amsmath amssymb bm + cite babel + + As well, tables benefit from the additional options available in + the array package. + + + Any other packages which authors find helpful MUST accompany their + submissions. This is particularly important where submissions are + using old versions of packages --- production staff only have + access to new versions on CTAN; should they have to acquire the + additional (and latest) packages themselves, these may not always + work in the same way as an older version. Of course, authors are + encouraged to use current versions of all additional packages. + + + Additional author-specific macros should be gathered together in + the preamble area, after all other packages have been loaded. See + section 3.2 for details. + + +5. MACROS + + a. New macros: + - \IDnote (Section 4.1) + - \PACS and \PACS* (for Physics) (Section 4.2) + + b.
