[![pipeline status](https://repository.prace-ri.eu/git/latex-templates/prace-whitepaper/badges/master/pipeline.svg)](https://repository.prace-ri.eu/git/latex-templates/prace-whitepaper/-/commits/master) (compiling the example) # LaTeX package for a PRACE white paper (c) CSC - IT Center for Science Ltd. original author: Martti Louhivuori (martti.louhivuori@csc.fi) (c) JSC/PRACE Dirk Broemmel (prace-pmo@fz-juelich.de) Please report any problems with this template to `prace-pmo@fz-juelich.de` or contribute directly to this repository. The latest version of the required files is available as download: [PRACE-Whitepaper.tar.gz](https://repository.prace-ri.eu/git/latex-templates/prace-whitepaper/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/PRACE-Whitepaper.tar.gz?job=build-example). ## PURPOSE Enable the writing of a PRACE project report in LaTeX with minimal typographical effort. Uses a pre-defined document class 'prace' that automatically sets the correct document style and layout as well as provides custom macros for the ease-of-use of the writer. ## FILES `prace.cls` : LaTeX document class `template.tex` : PRACE white paper template `prace-logo.[pdf|eps|png]` : logo of PRACE (used by prace.cls) The `example` directory contains a full example: `example.tex` : example of a filled-in template `example.pdf` : example PRACE white paper `example.[eps|png]` : figure used in the example white paper ## REQUIREMENTS Some LaTeX packages are assumed to be present for this class to work: `mathptmx` (for the correct font), `siunitx` (for properly formatted numbers+units), and `fancyhdr` (which should be updated at some point). 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) convert `.tex` to `.pdf`, e.g. `pdflatex yourname_yourproject` 4) send the resulting PDF to PRACE ## MACROS ```tex \author[]{} ``` Defines the name and affiliation(s) of an author. The affiliation(s) should be given as a comma-separated list of integers corresponding to the order of \affiliation definitions. ```tex \corresponding ``` Flags the following \author definition as the corresponding author. ```tex \affiliation{} ``` Defines the name and address of an affiliation. The syntax should be 'Name, Street, Postcode and City, Country'. ```tex \email{} ``` Defines the e-mail address of the corresponding author. All these macros should be used in the pre-amble of the document, so that all the required information is defined before calling `\maketitle`. In the main body of the document you can use default LaTeX commands for sections, figures etc., but you should refer to the comments in the `template.tex` for further information regarding the required structure, syntax and nomenclature in a PRACE white paper.
