LaTex Conversion Guidelines

Preliminary LaTex Conversion Guidelines

• Convert all images for the article to PDF files using this command:"convert foo.tif foo.pdf"

• Save articles provided as DOC or ODT files as ASCII text files and rename with a TEX file extension.

• Replace all smart quotes with back-tick and apostrophe

• Replace & with \&

• Replace - with -- where needed. Note that DOC and ODT documents often contain – characters which aren’t ASCII - characters. These may be invisible in LaTeX.

• Add \section and \subsection headings

• Reformat table text. Add captions and labels. Also reference the table labels

in the text.

• Add \begin{figure} blocks for figures. Add captions and labels for the figures. Also reference the labels in the text.

• Wrap lists in itemize or enumerate blocks.

• Set abstract in \begin{abstract} block.

• Move “Acknowledgements” section to just before the “References” section.
