Unfortunately, the SAE did not accept papers typeset in LaTeX by now. After many frustrating days trying to get a few so called <EM>wysiwyg</EM> text processors to behave in a reasonable way, I made up my mind and attempted to write an own style meeting the requirements of SAE. I had only been a LaTeX <EM>user</EM> by then, and I had no idea about how to change a titlepage, section styles and the fonts for a whole document. +<P> +I hope the style will be useful for many authors, especially for those making extensive use of mathematical formula. +<H3><A NAME="as-h3-80062">Creating the style</A></H3> +The first step was of course to ask <A HREF="http://www.altavista.com/"> AltaVista</A>, where I - after a while - found a link to <A HREF="http://www.ifs.hr/ifs/razno/doc/TeX/clsguide.html">LaTeX2e for class and package writers</A>. This helped me a lot. Many of the problems I encountered during the five days of creation could be solved with the help of <EM>The LaTeX Companion</EM> by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin. +<P> +The <TT>sae</TT> document class inherits all from the <TT>article</TT> class. However, the definition of the titlepage within the <TT>article</TT> class was not suitable. So I had a look at the <TT>article.cls</TT> file to find out how I should write this. The problem was finally solved by creating <TT>savebox</TT>es. This makes it possible to add as many author/affiliation pairs as wished. With each <TT>\AddAuthor</TT> command the old <TT>savebox</TT> is redefined and the new two lines are appended. The <TT>\SAECopyright</TT> command takes a year as the only argument, the surrounding text is created by the style. + +<H3><A NAME="as-h3-6020">System Requirements</A></H3> +I have tested the style with a <EM>TeTeX</EM> (version pre0.9) distribution containing <EM>LaTeX</EM> (Web2C 7.2) 3.14159 and <EM>pdfTeX</EM> (Web2C 7.2) 3.14159-0.12r. The style has been tested with <EM>MiKTeX</EM> as well. The <STRONG>geometry</STRONG> style required by the latest version can be obtained from your closest CTAN mirror (teTeX has it installed by default!). Search for <TT>geometry</TT> at <A HREF="http://www.ctan.org/search/" TARGET="new">http://www.ctan.org/search/</A>. Download the files <STRONG>geometry.dtx, geometry.ins and Readme</STRONG>. Follow the instructions in the Readme file. + +<H3><A NAME="as-h3-80063">Download</A></H3> +The style can be downloaded <A HREF="sae.cls">here</A>. The copyright notice is included in the file.
