How to prepare an IDA articles in Latex for E-Press publication

Assuming that you have prepared your article in Latex, the following are step-by-step instructions for how to set it up for publication by Linköping University E-press. Since many of these papers have also been set up for publication as a departmental technical report, the following instructions relate to the IDA techreport structure in Latex.

These instructions refer to classical Latex; the modifications for Latex2e are not available yet.

The documentstyle line

This line should have the following contents for the E-Press: 
\documentstyle{11pt,/info/www/ext/epa/styles/etendu/ea-cis]{article}
Of course, you are free to put your own copy of the ea-cis file in another place closer to yourself. If the article has more than one author, please use the style file whose name ends with -ciss instead.

Additional style files e.g. amssymbols or egapa may also be included.

The descriptor lines

These are lines that describe the author, title, etc of the paper. This information will appear on the first three (unnumbered) pages of the article, and before the body of the text. E-Press publications use commands similar to those in tech reports, and we present them in that order.

\title{...}

This works the same for both IDA tech reports and E-Press articles.

\author{...}

Similar, but for E-Press articles this command should contain affiliation but not E-mail address. Example: 
   \author{ John Johnsson \\~ \\
     {\large Department of Computer and Information Science} \\
     {\large Linköping University} \\
     {\large Linköping, Sweden }}
For more than one author, put their names above each other, and an empty name between names and affiliations. With several authors and different affiliations, put only the authors here, and include affiliation on the abstract page.

\tryear{1996}

The same for IDA tech reports and E-Press.

\techrep{...}

This operation for IDA tech reports shall not be used for the E-Press, for obvious reasons.

There there are a few additional commands that have to be added for the E-Press, here presented with examples of correct arguments. As long as dates and numbers have not been defined, please include the commands but with an invented argument, so you can see how it all comes out.

\trdate{November 1}

Specifies the date of actual publication by the E-Press.

\trvol{1}

Specifies the publication volume (1996 = 1).

\sernum{2}

Specifies the article's serial number within the year. Analogous to techrep but for E-Press series numbering.

\serznum{002}

Same as sernum but with initial zeroes so that exactly three digits are obtained. Used for generating the appropriate URL.

\trauthor{John Johnsson}

This operation duplicates the \author field, but without affiliation. (It is used in the copyright assignment statement on the second page of the cover).

An article specified like this will appear as "Linköping Electronic Articles in Computer and Information Science, Vol. 1(1996): nr 2" and will have the URL http://www.ep.liu.se/ea/cis/1996/002/

The cover generation lines

After this follow a few commands and environments for actually generating the first two pages (in the tech report) and the first three pages (in the E-Press publication). They look as follows for IDA tech reports: 
\maketrtitle
\begin{trabstract}
   ...
\end{trabstract}
\begin{support}
   ...
\end{support}
\begin{accepted}
   ...
\end{accepted}
\trtitlepage
For the E-Press it is similar, but with a few changes. First, you have to include "support" in the "accepted" environment. Then, trtitlepage is moved up, and another command is added. It ends up looking as follows: 
\maketrtitle
\trtitlepage
\begin{trabstract}
   ...
\end{trabstract}
\begin{accepted}
   ...
\end{accepted}
\trabstractpage

If you don't like what we give you...

then you are free to arrange the abstract page in any reasonable way. This means that the segment between trtitlepage and trabstractpage is up to you. On the other hand, the front page must not deviate from the norm. This means that everything down to and including trtitlepage must conform.

The commands trtitlepage and trabstractpage mostly serve to take a new page and to reset page numbering and the like; don't forget to include them. The command maketrtitle generates the front page and the second page (the one with the administrative information).

Please don't reset textwidth, textheight, and the like at any point. The chosen sizes in the standard have been optimized for aesthetic quality.

The body of the paper and the bibliography

The rest of the paper is up to you.
