-The easiest way to use the Elsevier style is to base documents on the included
- template file.
- It is best not to use options such as fancy headings or the geometry package,
- as elements such as these are defined by Elsevier in their style file.
- Ideally, no extra packages except those mentioned in the Elsevier documentation
- should be used.
- Essentially, Elsevier require as
-\begin_inset Quotes eld
-\end_inset
-
-clean
-\begin_inset Quotes erd
-\end_inset
-
- a LaTeX file as possible, as their intention is to take the supplied file
- and replace the class file with one for the particular journal to which
- the paper has been submitted.
- This also means that not too much time should be spent on the formating
- of the document.
- When it comes to be published, this will change anyway.
- The rest of the usage for this layout is substantially the same as for
- the normal article class.
- For details of what Elsevier do and don't allow, refer to their documentation.
