Abstract

This note provides guidelines for the use of the CoFIdoc package and LaTeXfor formatting CoFI notes and other documents.

The following instructions are for those who want to format a single CoFI document using LaTeX, with the minimum of effort. Those intending to format several CoFI documents, or to convert documents to HTML, should refer to the full CoFIdoc installation instructions.

  1. Copy the files:
    casl.sty cofibib.bib cofidoc.sty doc.bib doc.tex hyperlatex.sty
    from ftp://ftp.brics.dk/Projects/CoFI/Formatting/CoFIdoc-1.1/.
     
  2. Edit the template doc.tex, replacing all the queried words. In the body, avoid using commands concerned with details of appearance, e.g., \hspace, \kern, \framebox, and use of sans-serif fonts. Use the commands provided by casl.sty for CASL specifications.

    (Optionally:) Edit doc.bib, adding entries not already in cofibib.bib.
     

  3. Run latex doc

    If any of the following files are missing, get them from the TeX archives (CTAN) at http://www.tex.ac.uk/ :

    fancyheadings.sty latexsym.sty makeidx.sty verbatim.sty xpace.sty
     

  4. Run bibtex doc; latex doc; latex doc

    Some (larger) CoFI documents provide an index. To generate it, run makeindex doc; latex doc
