 \begin{abstract}
 This paper is an example and {\upshape\LaTeX} template for the {\upshape\texttt{asmejour}} class. Papers typeset in this class will follow ASME journal style for margins, fonts, headings, captions, and reference formats. The class will also lay out the author, title, and abstract in ASME style. The pdf file produced will include internal and external hyperlinks, bookmarks, and pdf metadata. The class is intended to be used with the {\upshape\texttt{asmejour.bst} \hologo{BibTeX}}, which is part of this distribution. This style produces modern reference formats, following current ASME styles and including hyperlinked DOI and URL fields. Options to the class include line numbering, final column balancing, various math options, government copyright notices, and archivability (PDF/A). In addition, section headers may contain mathematics, references, citations, and footnotes. The class is compatible with {\upshape\hologo{pdfLaTeX}} or {\upshape\hologo{LuaLaTeX}}.

 The \texttt{.tex} file may be written using standard \LaTeX\ commands, although some specific initial commands are needed to format the block containing the author[s], title, and abstract. The class calls a number of packages, all of which are contained in up-to-date versions of \TeX~Live, Mac\TeX, and similar platforms. If you find that you are missing a package, you may obtain it at no cost from CTAN (\href{http://ctan.org}{ctan.org}).

These fonts can be downloaded at no charge here: \url{http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre} and \url{https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/inconsolata/opentype}. No additional fonts should need to be loaded with \hologo{pdfLaTeX}.

 To begin, fill in the fields to be completed at top of the \texttt{asmejour-template.tex} file. The first are pdf metadata in the preamble that will tag the pdf file itself. Next is the \verb|\JourName{..}| command, which should be changed as appropriate (omit ``Journal of'').

 \subsection{eprint Support} Elementary support for \texttt{eprint} numbers is included, either hyperlinking or generating a url at the end of the citation. The \texttt{archive} type may be specified using the macros \texttt{arxiv, googlebooks, hndl, jstore, oclc}, or \texttt{pubmed} (e.g., \texttt{archive=hndl},  \textit{without} braces). Both \texttt{eprint} and \texttt{archive} fields \textit{must} be given. Other root urls may be invoked using \verb|archive = {http://another.url.org/}|.
 
-\subsection{Online Sources} A bibliography field \verb|@online{..| is included for citation of online sources, such as web pages. A \texttt{url}, \texttt{doi}, or \texttt{eprint} with \texttt{archive} should be included. See the examples of use in the \texttt{asmejour-sample.bib} file.

 \subsection{Date Accessed} The \verb|urldate={..}| field may be used to provide the date on which a given url was accessed. By default, the text printed will be \texttt{accessed `date',}. The word ``accessed'' may be changed using the \verb|urltype={..}| field.
 
 \subsection{Conference Location and Date} For the entry types \verb|@inproceeedings{..| and \verb|@proceeedings{..|, you may include \verb|venue={..}| and \verb|eventdate={..}| to specify the city and the date of a conference. Omit \verb|address={..}| if \verb|venue={..}| is used.

 The \verb|version={..}| field may be used with \verb|@book|, \verb|@online|, and \verb|@manual|.

ASME often puts the version in the title, as in Refs.~\cite{dlmf, texshop}, so I've left the final decision for discussion between the authors and the copy editor.

 \subsection{Final Column Balancing} The option \texttt{[balance]} invokes the the \texttt{flushend} package~\cite{tolusis}.
 This package will attempt to give equal height to the two columns on the last page. The performance of this package is sometimes inconsistent (with odd page layout or, very rarely, errors), so use this option with caution.
 
-\subsection{Line Numbers} The option \texttt{[lineno]} invokes the the \texttt{lineno} package~\cite{bottcher}.  This will produce line numbers in the margins. You must run \LaTeX\ \textit{twice} for proper placement of the numbers. The \texttt{lineno} package is not compatible with the \texttt{flushend} package that makes final short columns the same height. Balancing is disabled when this option is called. See the documentation of the \texttt{lineno} package for further commands to control line numbering. See footnote~\ref{ftnt:3} with regard to footnotes in section headings while this option is in~effect. The abstract, tables, captions, and footnotes will not be numbered.
