A conference Proceedings Stylesheet Michael Kent 24 Kendal Avenue, Maplewood, NJ, USA mkent@acm.org Page Setup Size and margins Pages are set up for US standard paper, 8.5" by 11". (The printing house we ordinarily use can't easily handle European sizes like A4.) Margins are set at 1" (25 mm) top and bottom, 1" for inside margins (left on odd-numbered pages, right on even-numbered), and 0.75" (19 mm) for outside margins (left even, right odd). Page numbers Page numbers are at the bottom of the page, aligned with the outside margins, ad set in the same face as the body text, but bold and 18pt. Footers We use different odd and even footers. On odd pages, the footers contains the article title (abbreviated if necessary, to fit on a single line). On even pages the footer contains the author's (authors') name(s). These are justified so as to align with the inside page margins. Footers are positioned 0.5" (12.7 mm) from the top resp. bottom page margins. Formatting in the Author/Title Block The title is set in a bold sans-serif font (this style sheet uses Gill Sans, as do the quarterly issues of Quote Quad ) at 24 points. The author's name is set in 18 pt bold in the same face; and the address and contact information is set in the same face at 14 pt (not bold). This block spans the two body-text columns. Body Text Formatting: This is a Level 1 Heading, Style cpHeading1, Set in Gill Sans Bold at 14 pt Level 2 Heading, style cpHeading2, set in Gill Sans italic at 12 pt Level 3 heading, style cpheading3 , set in same face as body text, but bold and 12 point Body text is set in two columns separated by a 0.25" (6.35 mm) gutter. There is 0.25" of white space between the bottom of the title block and the beginning of the body text. This is an ordinary paragraph, set in the cpNormal style, which is the main style for the text of a paper. The cpNormal style is set in here in Garamond, but any reasonable compact serif font can be substituted. Job McGrew uses Monotype Bulmer to set article bodies in the regular quarterly issues of Quote Quad, for instance, but the ubiquitous Times Roman is perfectly usable. (Similarly, if you don't have access to Gill Sans, there's no reason not to use Helvetica or Arial for the styles set in a sans-serif face.) The size used for body text in the cpNormal style is 11 points. We have found that anything smaller starts to look small and to be difficult to read, and anything much larger starts to look too "open" (and with larger faces, it takes more pages to accommodate the same text). Paragraphs in the cpNormal style have a 0.25" (6.35 mm) indent, and 3 points of white space precede the first line of each paragraph. Paragraphs are set fully justified (aligned left and right margins). Sometimes, you will want to set monospaced text: /* Not everything can be set in the main body style; this style is cpCodeCourier, set in Courier at 10 points */ for (int i = 0; i < k; i++ ) tgt(i) = src(i); J has its own font, and thus its own style: .nb This is a little snippet of J .nb code. The style cpCodeISIJ is .nb provided for those who use font .nb ISIJ, with the same definition and .nb size as cpCodeCourier. .nb It is shown here in cpCodeCourier .nb style var .= +/\vector .nb The only visible difference in this .nb example is that character boxes are .nb somewhat taller in the ISIJ font. The typeface names which are used for setting code are just the style names with the "cpCode" part dropped. Now it's time for a variety of APL styles: C˝+/Ař.=B äcpCodeCourierApl2, 10 pt C˝+/Ař.=B äcpCodeApl2, 10 pt (See examples for other APL, like APL Plus, Dialog, etc. in confp.dot, the original document of M. Kent). It is unfortunate but true that every slightly different APL requires a different style, because of font mappings, atomic vector differences, and font metrics. The alternative is to convert all the APL code snippets into some one atomic vector and use a font that matches. That's about it for the body-text things. However, we do sometimes want to have APL code in- line with the main text: C˝+/Ař.=B (Courier APL2) or C˝+/Ař.=B (APL2 at size 9 pt). Style name for these inline styles are analogous to the code-block style names, except that they begin with "cpInline" rather than with "cpCode". Bibliography Leontief, W.
