Documentation is given for use of the SIAM LTEX macros. These macros are now compatible with LTEX2ε. Instructions and suggestions for compliance with SIAM style standards are also included. Familiarity with standard LTEX commands is assumed.

1384 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 49, NUMBER 11 Most mathematicians today use some variant of TEX to write their mathematical papers and books. Created around 1980 by computer scientist Donald E. Knuth, TEX dramatically changed the process of preparing and distributing mathematical literature. In the ensuing two decades various streams of TEX-related development have sprung up, diverged, converged...

Introduction In this article I hope to give a ‘guided tour’ around the files that make up the basic LTEX distribution. Subsequent articles in this mini-series will cover other packages by the LTEX development team, and also some of the main contributed packages. The primary source for LTEX is the ‘CTAN ’ network of archives, so if I refer to path names of files this relates to the CTAN file str...

BOX is a language independent mark-up language. It is designed for use within a generic pretty-print framework to connect source language dependent front-ends to target language dependent back-ends. A front-end translates a term over a language to BOX to describe its intended layout. Back-ends translate BOX terms to arbitrary output formats. The tool box2latex is a back-end that generates LTEX ...

This article describes a system that takes a photograph of a printed equation and produces a LTEX code representation. The process uses adaptive thresholding with mean filtering, morphological edge smoothing, and the Hough transform for image binarization and skew correction. The project uses Hu invariant moments and circular topology to match characters against a database of characters. The al...

This guide explains how to use the ICS LTEX template. Since the template follows LTEX conventions, it’s quite easy to use. Besides, we borrow some texts from sigplan-guide.pdf.

We describe CEDRICS, a general purpose system for automated journal production entirely based on a LTEX input format. We show how the very basic ideas that initiated the whole effort turned into an efficient system because of the ability of LTEX markup to parametrise simultaneously and without compromise high typographical quality for the PDF output as well as accurate XML metadata with (presen...

This progress report of the Ω development team (the rst two authors) presents the rst major application of Ω: an adaptation of Babel, the well-known multilingual LTEX package, developed by the third author. We discuss problems related to multilingual typesetting, and show their solutions in the Ω-Babel system. The paper is roughly divided into two parts: the rst one (sections 1 4) is intended f...

In this paper we discuss the structure and processing of multi-lingual documents, both at a general level and in relation to a proposed extension to the (no longer so new) standard LTEX. Both in general and in the particular case of this proposal, our work would be impossible without the enormous support, both practical and moral, we get from our fellow members of the LTEX3 project team (who ma...
