The sample project presents almost all of the elements and functions of the EOA template (apart from the equations). The project can be downloaded as a zipped archive. The content is explained in the screenshots below. A PDF-file with a sample of the results you can expect to achieve can be downloaded here.

To layout the publication, three consecutive commands must be given. The commands are:

• xelatex publication - a rough draft of the publication will be generated,

• biber publication - the bibliography will be generated,

• xelatex publication - the final layout of the publication will be generated.

The content of the file publication.tex is given below. Comments are introduced with the character %. Any text preceded by the character % will be disregarded in the output. A detailed summary of the EOA commands, including the command structure, can be found here, as well as in this separate document.
