English Version, 4. November2013

1. General Setup

\include{pre_eoa}
\EOAbibliographytype{monograph}
\EOAbibliographydatabase{DatabaseFile}
\EOAseries{Studies}
\begin{document}
 
The actual text begins here using the structuring and formatting commands described below.
 
\end{document}

\EOAbibliographytype may be anthology or monograph. With monograph you can produce one bibliography per chapter; anthology would produce a complete bibliography for the entirepublication. \EOAbibliographydatabase should include the filename of your BibTeX-database. \EOAseriesmay be Studies, Sources, Textbooks or Proceedings. This command determines the dimensions of the book and also the numbering scheme.

2. Text structure

Part

\EOApart{Title}

Introduces a new part in an edited volume.

The text in brackets will be given in an automatically numbered footnote at the bottom of the page.

Special characters as images

\EOAinline{Image_file}

In very exceptional cases, a character can be used that does not belong to the Unicode range. This command will allow an image file to be embedded in the text as a character.

The tilde ~

\EOAtilde

This command generates the character ~. It should not be used when writing equations.

Indented citations

\begin{EOAquote}
Text to be set off the running text.
\end{EOAquote}

The cited text will be indented at both sides and the line spacing somewhat reduced.

4. Special layouts for scientific texts

Transcription and translation

\begin{EOAtranscripted}{Header left}{Headerright}
Transcribed text on the left-hand page
\EOAnewpage
Translated text on the right-hand page
\end{EOAtranscripted}

For a comparison, a transcription is given on the left page and its translation on the right.

Letterhead

\EOAletterhead{Recipientand Date}{Archive identification}
{Additional information}{pages}

This will give a letterhead within a frame. The text body of the letter follows the command as normal running text.

5. Lists, numbered items, theorems and descriptions

List of numbered items

\begin{EOAlist}
\item First numbered entry
\item Second numbered entry
\end{EOAlist}

For a list of numbered items, use the command \EOAlist. Entries within this list will be introduced by the command \item and should not exceed one paragraph. It is not possible to create lists of numbered entries with multiple hierarchies.

Lists

\begin{EOAitems}
\item First entry
\item Second entry
\end{EOAitems}

To create a list, use the command \EOAitems. Entries in the list will be introduced by the command \item and should not exceed one paragraph. It is not possible to create lists with multiple hierarchies.

Descriptions

\begin{EOAdescription}
\item[The item to be described] The description of this item.
\item[The second item to be described] The description of this item.
\end{EOAdescription}

\EOAdescription can be used for textual descriptions. The text given after \item in brackets will be indentedand set in italics.

Theorems

\EOAnewtheorem{Identifier}{Name of theorem}

To presentautomatically numbered theorems, a theorem can be given using the command \EOAnewtheorem.The name of the theorem can be determined by the user and is given at the beginning of the line. Using the command \begin{Identifier} you can start the explanation of the theorem. This must be ended with the command \end{Identifier}. Please note: Although we make use of the package amsthm, it is not possible to use commands such as \newtheoremstyle or \swapnumbers.

6. Figures and equations

Figures

\EOAfigure{File_name}{Caption}{Label}{Width}{Positioning}
  • File_name: All image data files should be stored in the same folder as the Tex-data. It is recommended to store the image files in a sub-folder withinthe main folder. The folder(s) should be labeled without using spaces or special characters such as @, /, ü, etc. The name of the sub-folder should begin with the name of the folder, e.g. Smith_Images.
  • Caption: The caption should not exceed 3 to 4 lines.
  • Label: The label will be used for cross-referencing purposes.
  • Width: A number should be givenfrom 1 to 99. This will determine the width of the figure in the type area. The number 99 will cause the figure to take up the whole width of the type area, 50 will cause it to take up half of the area, etc.
  • Positioning: Two abbreviations can be used to influence the positioning of the figures in the text. The abbreviation ht will cause the figure to be positioned as close as possible to the insertion point in the text or in a suitable position at the top of one of the following pages. Using H will cause the figure to appear at the exact insertion point in the text.

Example:

\EOAfigure{Chap01/colored}{A colored image}{sec1:Picture1}{75}{ht}

The figure colored, stored in the sub-folder Chap01, will be positioned at the top of page (ht). The figure will take up 75% of the width of the type area and will have the automatically numbered caption A colored image placed underneath. A cross-reference to this image can be generated using the label sec1:Picture1.

Landscape Figures

\EOAlsfigure{File_name}{Caption}{Label}

This command is used to insert a landscape figure covering the whole page. (The whole page will be turned 90 degrees in the PDF.)

Unnumbered Figure

\EOAfigurenonumber{File_name}{Width}{Positioning}

This command is used to insert an unnumbered or unlabeled image into the document. It should be used only in exceptional cases, for instance,for a group photo.

Equations set in the running text

\EOAineq{Equation}

Use the command \EOAineq to write a short equation in the running text.

Supports equation packages such as amsmath, mhchem.

Simple equations

\begin{EOAequation}{Label}Instructions for the equation.
\end{EOAequation}

This environment creates an automatically numbered equation set off from the running text. The label must be given, even if no cross-reference is made to the equation. For an unnumbered equation, use the following environment: \begin{EOAequationnonumber} … \end{EOAequationnonumber}.

To introduce a line break in the equation, use the environment \begin{split} … \end{split}. The line break will be marked with \\.

For example:

\begin{EOAequation}{pdot2}
\begin{split}
\frac{\partial p_{\alpha }}{\partial t}=
\frac{d L(q^{\alpha },b^{\alpha },x)}{%d q^{\alpha }}
+ \eta _{\xi }\frac{df^{(\xi )}(q^{\alpha},b^{\alpha },x)}{d q^{\alpha }} \\
-\frac{\partial }{\partial x^{r}}%
\left\{ \frac{d L(q^{\alpha },b^{\alpha },x)}{d q_{,r}^{\alpha }%}
+ \eta _{\xi }\frac{d f^{(\xi )}(q^{\alpha },b^{\alpha },x)}{%d q_{,r}^{\alpha }}
\right\},
\end{split}
\end{EOAequation}

Supported packages: amsmath, mhchem, braket, slashed, amssymb.

An array of equations

\begin{EOAequationarray}{Label}Instructions for the different equations.
\end{EOAequationarray}

This command compiles an array of equations. A label is obligatory. For an array of unnumbered equations without a label, use the environment \begin{EOAequationarraynonumber} … \end{EOAequationarraynonumber}.

Subequations

\begin{EOAsubequations}{Label}Normal equations using EOAequation
\end{EOAsubequations}

This command compiles an array of equations. There should be no arbitrary text between the equations.
