Style sheet

After lengthy(!) consideration of different options, I've decided to base the style sheet for EISS 9 on the style sheet for Language. However, unlike Language, we're aiming for camera-ready copies (PDF files) in the end, and so a number of the points of the style sheet for Language don't apply. I've therefore modified the PDF version of the style sheet for Language so that it fits the conception of EISS 9 better. My modified version is available below as eiss9-style-sheet.pdf. I've used gray boxes to identify instructions that don't apply to EISS 9 and have added a number of brief clarifications. In order to help us give a uniform appearance to EISS 9, I would ask you to try to follow the style sheet as closely as possible. (I think that it's very clear on most points.)

Although we're aiming for camera-ready copies in the end, it's probably hard to exclude the possibility of my having to do minor but important last-minute formatting changes at the very end of the editorial process. As a consequence, it's important to try to make the source files as manageable and 'portable' as possible. (In general, it's a good strategy in life to make source files as manageable and 'portable' as possible. :-) ) With this in mind, there are three cases to consider:

- You're a LaTeX user (or you can use LaTeX for this paper).
- You're a LibreOffice Writer user (or you can use LibreOffice Writer for this paper).
- You're a Microsoft Word user.
