This chapter introduces the (truly simple) basic notions of \arsclassica{} and presents its fundamental ideas and peculiarities.


\section{Introduction}

The \arsclassica{} package changes some typographical aspects of the \classicthesis{} style, by Andr\'e Miede~\citep{miede:classicthesis,pantieri:classicthesis}. It allows to reproduce the layout of my guide \emph{The art of writing with \LaTeX}~\citep{pantieri:art} (in Italian) and of this document. The hint for this original reworking of \classicthesis{} was gave to me by Daniel Gottschlag.



\section{Use of the package}

The package is shaped for being executed on a \emph{complete} installation of \miktex{} or \texlive, and uses font freely available.

The installation of \arsclassica{} is very simple. You can download the \texttt{arsclassica.zip} file from \href{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/arsclassica/}{\texttt{CTAN}}; then you will decompress it and install \texttt{arsclassica.sty} in the usual way.


The package works with the \clsname{KOMA-Script} classes (\clsname{scrreprt}, \clsname{scrbook} and \clsname{scrartcl}) and requires the \pkgname{classicthesis} package, \emph{updated to the last version available (the~4.0)}; it must be loaded \emph{after} it. It can be loaded simply by
\begin{code}
\documentclass[�*\meta{\dots\unkern}*�]{scrreprt} % or scrbook or scrartcl

\usepackage[�*\meta{\dots\unkern}*�]{classicthesis}
\usepackage{arsclassica}

\begin{document}
�*\dots*�
\end{document}
\end{code}

For example, this document has been obtained with the following code:
\begin{code}
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,openright,titlepage,fleqn,%
               headinclude,,footinclude,BCOR5mm,%
               numbers=noenddot,cleardoublepage=empty,%
               tablecaptionabove]{scrreprt}

\usepackage{�*\meta{\dots\unkern}*�}
\usepackage[eulerchapternumbers,subfig,beramono,%
            eulermath,pdfspacing]{classicthesis}
\usepackage{arsclassica}

\begin{document}
�*\dots*�
\end{document}
\end{code}

It is recommended, but not compulsory, to use the options \optname{beramono}, \optname{eulerchapternumbers} and \optname{eulermath} together with \arsclassica.






\section{The style}

The typographical style obtained with \arsclassica{} differs from ClassicThesis for the following aspects:
\begin{itemize}
\item use of Iwona\index{Iwona} font, by Janusz M.~Nowacki, for the titles of the sectioning units of the document (chapters, sections, subsections, sub-subsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs), for the labels of description lists, for the headlines and the label of the captions (\classicthesis{} does not use any font sans serif);
\item customized chapter numbers;
\item semi-transparent headlines; the headlines are separated from the page number by a small rule;
\item captions with labels in boldface (\classicthesis{} does not use boldface fonts);
\item itemize lists with semi-transparent labels.
\end{itemize}

The \arsclassica{} package is conceived  to provide to the user a ready-to-use typographical style: therefore it has no loading option and it is \emph{not} configurable or customizable in any way. If you change the previous settings, you will risk to destroy the equilibrium of the style, so it is \emph{highly recommended} to keep them unchanged.

One of the principles of \LaTeX{} is that it allows the author to take no interest in the typographical questions, permitting him to focus only the structure and the contents of the document. This fact should always be taken in consideration: using a style written from others, the user accepts all the typographical settings chosen for him from the author of the style, and he is not forced to study typography to fix the layout of his publications. This is the case of \arsclassica{} too: if you change its settings, you will contradict this philosophy and, consequently, you must study (a lot of) typography to obtain acceptable results. 

The style obtained with \arsclassica{} is \emph{not} therefore configurable or customizable. The typographical style is something of very personal: if you like the package and find attractive the idea to take no interest in the problem of the style definition, then you will use \arsclassica{} with satisfaction; otherwise, if you have different needs or you are not satisfied with the layout of the package, then you should try other classes or packages, even building your own style.



\section{New commands}

The package offers the \cmdname{ctLaTeX}, \cmdname{ctLaTeXe} and \cmdname{ctTeX} commands, which allow to reproduce respectively the \LaTeX, \LaTeXe{} and \TeX{} logos correctly written in Iwona.\index{Iwona}
