LaTeX Classes for IDA documents

Introduction

I (Tommy Persson, tpe@ida.liu.se) am writing LaTeX classes for some of the IDA documents to be uses as official classes for IDA documents. They are available if you use the standard tetex you get with "module add office/tetex". Below are some example files and the result. The purpose of this page is that I would like people interested in this to look at the classes and examples and give feedback. Please feel free to start using it. People using the classes is the fastest way to find and fix remaining problems.

Some of the code have probably been taken from Ola Leiflers thesis style. And some of the code is from Per-Olof Pettersson.

Note that running latex on a file using one of the class files will generate a file "exhibitpage.tex".

The class files are also available here.

Remember that this should probably be considered to be an alpha release. The user interface might change dependeing on feedback. The typographical placement of text might be wrong so please report all strange things to me. Check the result carefully so it satisfies the requirements before you send your files to the print shop.

Issues

• To get a new paragraph inside the abstract use \abstractpar.
• Classes for ordinary student reports are not done yet.
• The classes are based on report. Is there a need to be able to use book?
