* SUG authors
LaTeX is a set of macros for the TeX document processing application.
Several years ago I began using LaTeX to write my SUG papers.
In order to produce a paper which conforms
to SAS User Group International conference paper guidelines
it is necessary to modify the LaTeX document class article.
After reviewing several other LaTeX class files: e.g.: acmconf.cls,
I wrote my own SUGconf.cls and posted it to SAS-L.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=sas-l
The layout produced by the 'sugconf' class
is based on the description contained in SUGI paper guidelines,
published by SAS Institute: (2006)
http://support.sas.com/usergroups/sugi/sugi31/package/WritersGuidelines.pdf
At the 2006 PracTeX conference, a Little Birdie
(SAS-L euphemism for a SAS Institute employee)
suggested that it would be a Good Idea to post my class file
and some examples to CTAN,
by which act I would then accept responsibility for maintenance.
* All SUG conferences now require submission of papers as a .pdf.
TeX distributions provide pdfLaTeX.exe which produces a .pdf
from the source text file. (.tex or .ltx or .txt).
The .pdf can be read with Adobe Reader v5 or greater.
Note: pdfLaTeX also produces a .dvi, which is easier to review
while editing and polishing.
See the command: \pdfoutput= in each .tex file.
* filename extensions
** .bat: windows batch file
executes pdfLaTeX, input : <filename>.tex
note: input may be <filename>.txt
pdfoutput=0: <filename>.dvi
pdfoutput=1: <filename>.pdf
** .tex: input : text file containing LaTeX markup commands
** .pdf: output: Adobe v5 or higher
* Please review the following files
in order to familiarize yourself with LaTeX markup commands.
** article-example illustrates the LaTeX document class article
article-example.bat
article-example.tex
article-example.pdf
** this file provides the LaTeX document class sugconf based on article
you must download this file and place it in the same folder
with your SUG-conf-paper
sugconf.cls
** sugconf-example is a working example of the document class sugconf
download these files and rename them to <My-SUG-conf-paper>.*
note: remember to change the filename in the .bat file
from sugconf-example
to <My-SUG-conf-paper>
sugconf-example.bat
sugconf-example.pdf
sugconf-example.tex
* processing your .tex file with a Windows .bat file
- - - - article-example.bat - - -
pdfLaTeX article-example
- - - - article-example.bat end - - -
note assumption: filename extension is .tex
to process a text file other than .tex, specify the extension:
pdfLaTeX article-example.txt
* highly recommended
I recommend a professional text editor.
