So we +have classes <i>artikel2</i>, <i>rapport1</i>, <i>boek3</i> and +<i>brief</i>. These classes are moderately well documented in +English. +<p>The <i>KOMA-script</i> bundle (classes named <i>scr...</i>) are a +strong current contender. They are actively supported, are +comprehensive in their coverage of significant typesetting issues, +produce good-looking output and are well documented in both English +and German (<i>scrguien</i> in the distribution for English, +<i>scrguide</i> for German). +<p>The other comparable class is <i>memoir</i>. This aims to replace +<i>book</i> and <i>report</i> classes directly, and (like +<i>KOMA-script</i>) is comprehensive in its coverage of small issues. +<i>Memoir</i>'s documentation (<i>memman</i>) is very highly +spoken of, and its lengthy introductory section is regularly +recommended as a tutorial on typesetting. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>KOMA-script bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.zip">macros/latex/contrib/koma-script</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>NTGclass bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ntgclass/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>sober.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex209/contrib/misc/sober.sty">macros/latex209/contrib/misc/sober.sty</a> +</dl> +<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=replstdcls">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=replstdcls</a> +</body> |
