#asmeconf: A latex template for ASME conference papers# Version 1.26 dated 2021/02/20. ####Overview#### This class provides a LaTeX template for ASME Conference papers formatted according to the requirements on ASME's web pages (as posted in 2021): [www.asme.org/publications-submissions/proceedings/formatting-the-paper](https://www.asme.org/publications-submissions/proceedings/formatting-the-paper) A up-to-date BibTeX style for reference and citation formatting is also included. The asmeconf class provides access to many features not available in older LaTeX templates for ASME papers. It is designed to approach the following aims: - match ASME's font current specifications and layout - match ASME's current reference formats, and add support for DOI and URL fields - support hyperlinks to figures, tables, equations, references, and external URLs - support pdf bookmarks and metadata - set author names and addresses in either the traditional grid or the more recent inline style - provide line numbers for editing and review - support balancing of columns on last page - support PDF/A (archival) standards if desired - support copyright footer for federal employees and contractors - enable various math and text features with newtxmath and newtxtext packages - support bold face, sans serif math in section headings - support footnotes in section headings - enable passages in other languages, e.g., for a translation of the abstract or a quotation - support for many scripts: Latin, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Hangul, Japanese, Tamil The .tex and .cls files are commented and should be self-explanatory. The files in this distribution are: README.md -- this file asmeconf.cls -- the class file asmeconf.bst -- bibtex style for ASME conference format asmeconf-template.tex -- a latex template/example for this class asmeconf-template.pdf -- documentation/sample paper asmeconf-sample.bib -- a sample bibliography file * sample-figure-1.pdf, sample-figure-2a.pdf, sample-figure-2b.pdf -- figures for the sample paper * examples/ -- a directory of examples: -- nonlinear ode integration within LaTeX using Lua code -- fontspec for abstracts in 25 languages in one paper -- grid-style layout of author names/addresses -- footers for government employees This work is not a publication of ASME itself. ####Author#### John H.
