TeX-Template

If you are using LaTeX, you may download a template file containing formatting examples, an example for a bibTeX bibliography in the "amsalpha"-style, and DiPP-Licence text. You may reuse this template for creating your own manuscript. The template consists of a sample TeX-file, dummy-pictures and an example bibliography bib-file. The TeX-file uses standard packages and the "article" document-type.

• The TeX-file template.tex
• An example bibliography dummy.bib
• And placeholder pictures dummy1.eps and dummy2.eps

The pdf-file generated from the TeX-template gives an impression of all formatting options mentioned. It is also useful for authors who wish to use typesetting systems other than TeX as a draft for their documents.

Packages

The Hyperref-Package

For the purpose of incorporating Open URL into the TeX-Document, authors make use of the hyperref package. Hyperref allows for creating hyperlink references to URLs that work from pdf, xml and xhtml files. Using hyperref, authors are able to create external links, as well as anchors to figures, tables, footnotes and sections. The use of hypertext is beneficial for electronic Journals, because it enables the author to relate relevant information easily. A detailed description of the usage of hyperref commands is available under www.tug.org/applications/hyperref/manual.html.
