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. The old version (before 2000-06-28) can still be obtained <A HREF="saeold.cls">here.</A> + +<H3><A NAME="as-h3-6021">Changes</A></H3> +<TABLE> +<TR><TD>2000-06-28<TD>Cleaned up the code. Now using <TT>geometry</TT> package instead of <TT>\setlength{}{}</TT> commands. New <TT>pdftex</TT> option, which is forwarded to the <TT>article</TT> class and the <TT>geometry</TT> package. +<TR><TD>2000-08-28<TD>Due to numerous questions I received during the past weeks, I decided to add a few instructions on how to obtain the geometry.sty file which is obviously missing in some TeX-distributions. +</TABLE> + + +<H3><A NAME="as-h3-80064">Usage</A></H3> +Well, I put an <A HREF="example.tex">example</A> in the same directory. It should explain most. Please contact me if you get trouble using the style. Tell me what kind of LaTeX version you're using. +<P> + +The class is compatible with the <TT>hyperref</TT> package and <TT>pdflatex</TT> and can be used to produce PDF files suitable for electronic publication and printing. There are no features in <TT>sae.cls</TT>which could prevent the usage together with other packages. I recommend the <TT>graphicx</TT>, <TT>natbib</TT> and <TT>tabularx</TT> styles to include figures, handle citations and build tables, respectively. + +<H3><A NAME="as-h3-80066">Contact</A></H3> +Feel free to contact <A HREF="mailto:axel.franke@forbrf.lth.se">me</A> if you want to suggest improvements or tell me about problems. +<HR> +<A HREF="..">Back to my homepage.</A> +</BODY> +</HTML> |
