This is the distribution package for cascadilla.cls, a LaTeX document class for typesetting documents that conform to the Cascadilla Proceedings Project stylesheet, used by various linguistics conference proceedings (such as WCCFL). Also included are an example document (example.tex and example.pdf), a BibTeX bibliography style (cascadilla.bst) and a BibTeX database used by the example document (exampleref.bib). This package was written by Max Bane, copyright 2008-2012, and is maintained by the same. It is distributed under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, a copy of which is included in LICENSE.txt; the license boilerplate is also included at the top of each source file. The reference stylesheet that this document class aims to implement is described by the Cascadilla Proceedings Project at the following location: http://www.lingref.com/cpp/authors/style.html The style is occasionally updated by Cascadilla; if you find that this document class no longer implements the stylesheet correctly, or if you discover any bugs, please contact Max Bane at max.bane@gmail.com. As of version 1.7, you may now also report and view bugs, check out the latest source code, or even contribute your own changes to the source code, at the github project page for this project: https://github.com/maxbane/cascadilla.cls Special thanks to Jonathan Brindle for helping to resolve some glitches in previous versions. Thanks also to Christopher Piñón for spotting a difficult-to-detect layout error, and suggesting a solution. TO USE: Simply place cascadilla.cls and cascadilla.bst in the same directory as the paper you are writing, and use "\documentclass{cascadilla}" instead of "\documentclass{article}". See the example paper (example.tex) for more details of usage, including optional arguments to the \documentclass command. To make cascadilla.cls and cascadilla.bst available for all of your papers, without having to put separate copies in the directory of each, consult your LaTeX distribution's documentation to find out where to place them so that they are globally available. This is usually somewhere in your "texmf" tree. VERSION HISTORY Version 1.8.2 (Jan 17, 2012): Made footnote marks flush with left edge of body text.
