## PURPOSE
Enable the writing of a PRACE Project Access Application.

## FILES
`prace.cls`        : LaTeX document class  
`template.tex`     : PRACE Project Access Application template  
`prace-header.jpg` : page header from PRACE (used by prace.cls)  
 
The `example` directory contains an example without hints:  
`example.tex` : example of a filled-in template  
`example.pdf` : example PRACE Access Application  
 
## REQUIREMENTS
Some LaTeX packages are assumed to be present for this class to work: `helvet` (for the correct font), `siunitx` (for properly formatted numbers+units), `fancyhdr` (which should be updated at some point), `lastpage`, and `titlesec` among others.  
The current version of the template is meant for use with `latex` or `pdflatex`, a modern dialect may follow in the future.

## QUICK HOW-TO
1) copy `template.tex` to `yourname_yourproject.tex`
2) fill in all the required information in `yourname_yourproject.tex` using your favorite text editor
3) switch of editing hints by disabling the corresponding option to the package when final
4) convert `.tex` to `.pdf`, e.g. `pdflatex yourname_yourproject`
5) upload the the resulting PDF to Peer Review Portal
