------------------------- THE REVMEXAA LATEX MACROS ------------------------- Version: 3.26b (09 Feb 2015) Author: William Henney (w.henney@crya.unam.mx) Latest version available from: http://www.crya.unam.mx/rmaa USAGE ----- This package is intended for the typesetting of papers that are being submitted for publication in the main journal of the Revista Mexicana de Astronomia y Astrofisica. The example document rm-journal-example.tex serves both as simple documentation and as a template for your own contribution. Further details on the use of the macros are given in the "Guide for Authors", authorguide.pdf VERSION 3.2x RELEASE NOTES -------------------------- The main change in this release is a reorganization to give separate packages for the Conference Series (rmsc3.2x.tar.gz or rmsc3.2x.zip) and the main journal (rmaa3.2x.tar.gz or rmaa3.2x.zip). The manuscript option for the main journal has been revamped and this is now the default style, which should be used for all submissions. A maximum of six keywords is now enforced. Exceeding this limit gives a LaTeX compilation error. There is also support for BibTeX, and a "review article" option has been added to the main journal. For more details, see the News section of http://www.crya.unam.mx/rmaa DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION ------------------------- The latest version of the macros can always be obtained from |http://www.astrosmo.unam.mx/rmaa|. There are three different packages, each designed for a different audience: authors of main journal papers (e.g., |rmaa3.24.tar.gz|), authors of contributions to conference proceedings (e.g., |rmsc3.24.tar.gz|), and editors of the main journal or conference proceedings (e.g., |rmaa_editor3.24.tar.gz|). Please make sure you have the right package. All packages are also provided in |.zip| format, chiefly for the convenience of MS Windows users. Once you have downloaded the relevant package archive file, move it to the directory (folder) where you wish to work and unpack the archive. The procedure to do this may vary between systems. From the command line on Unix, Linux, or Mac OS X, you can use something like |tar -zxf rmaa3.24.tar.gz|. To test that everything is working, you should compile the example document: |rm-journal-example.tex|. You will need to invoke |latex| twice to get the cross references right. The procedure to view and print the document will vary between systems. On Unix, Linux, or Mac OS X, you can use |latex} and |dvips| to generate a postscript file (which can be converted to PDF via |ps2pdf|), or alternatively you can use |pdflatex| to generate a PDF file directly. Note that in the first case, any included graphics must be in EPS format, while in the second case, they must be in PDF, PNG, or JPG format. It is recommended that you omit the file extension from the filenames in the |\includegraphics| command, so that both |latex| and |pdflatex| can automatically find the correct figure file. Assuming that the example document compiled and printed correctly, you can now start writing your own paper, using the example document as a template.
