% Template: OSGeo Journal - Article
% Language: Latex
% Template OSGeo Journal - Nove 2010
% Head
% This template shows some of the minimal basics for describing your article.  
% To build a PDF demo of the template run:
% pdflatex osgeo_template.tex
% Many of these are options, only a few core concepts are often used.  
% More advanced usage is a possibility too in coordination with the Journal Development Team.  
% Join our mailing list to ask questions: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
% Percent signs represent comments but most of the comments are written in examples so you can
% compile this document and see what it looks like yourself.
% Please leave the double comment "%%" lines in place as they are used for automation.

% Next line is for testing your document only.  This will be removed by editors when your article is added as a child in their MASTER DOCUMENT.

% This sets the type of document we will create
\documentclass[a4paper]{article} %% HEADCLASS

% Let's keep the use of packages as simple as possible in the template.
\usepackage{url} %% HEADPACK
\usepackage{graphicx} %% HEADPACK

% This begins the text of your document
\begin{document} %% DOCSTART

\title{This is where your title goes}
\author{Mr. Article Writer}
% Keep this next line to generate the title page.  Don't worry, it will fit into our master document well, even if it creates a separate title page at the moment.  A date will automatically be shown as well, don't worry about it.
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}

Insert a one or two paragraph abstract of your article here:

This template is designed as an overview of the OSGeo Journal production system.  When you follow the methods laid out in this document, it will be very easy for editors to prepare your article in a timely manner.

A second paragraph can go in your abstract but don't make it more than that please.

\noindent Also note that short paragraphs with first lines indented looks awfully bad here.  If you know the paragaphs will be maintained in the final version, you can "unindent" a paragraph like we did with this one, by using the \texttt{\\noindent} command at the beginning of the paragraph.

\end{abstract}

Now the main text of the document goes in here, between the end of the abstract and the final end for the document.

At this place please use sections to segment your writing.  When sections are defined they create a nice header, they automatically get added to a table of contents for easy bookmarking and they help define the proper hierarchy for the overall document structure.

Let's create a new section below.  Be sure to use Title Case.

\section{This Is A New Section Heading} % Sections automatically end when a new one is started.
In this section you have your basic text, until you need a new section.

\section{Onward To Our Next Section}

Sections are hierarchical in nature and within each section you can have \texttt{subsection} commands as well:

\subsection{First example}

Subsections within a section will be at the same level as each other.  If you want another level deeper you can go with \texttt{subsubsection} - yes, you read that correctly.

\subsubsection{Getting Deeper}

But then at the next \texttt{section} the hierarchy begins again.

\section{Formatting}

Nearing the end now... a few comments about formatting.  For bold or emphasis use \textbf{the \texttt{textbf} command}.  For a monospaced, verbatim sort of styling use \texttt{the texttt command}.  We don't use a lot more than that!

For quotes you can use the left quote (usually below the \~ tilde on US keyboards anyway) for the left single quote ` and the apostrophe for the right single quote'.  For double quotes just repeat the symbol twice. 

For more details on quotes and other basic formatting see: \url{http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Formatting}  - this is also your example of how to code a URL.  This is also another good URL to know.\footnote{Latex Document Structure cheat sheet: \url{http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Document_Structure#Abstract}}.

\section{Footnotes}
In the Journal we make liberal use of footnotes, especially since we use a two column layout and there often isn't enough space in a column for a URL or long descriptive line.  So wherever the text can be moved to a footnote, please consider it, especially if it improves the flow and readibility of your article.  For footnotes use the \texttt{footnote} command followed by the details to show in the footnote, for example in this footnote that refers to a URL.\footnote{Our website has a long URL: http://www.osgeo.org/ojs}

\section{Bibliography}


\section{Figures}
% The following is used for inserting an image
\begin{figure}[h]
   \centering
   \includegraphics{issn_code.jpg} % Point to the graphics file
   \caption{The image caption goes here} % Provide a caption for the figure
   \label{fig:figure_label} % change figure_label to a short description that you will use later on
\end{figure}

Now in your text you can refer back to this figure by using a mention of Figure \ref{fig:figure_label} here - which auto inserts your figure \#.  It won't show up until you build your document twice.

Note that the underscore is special character and as such requires a forward slash \\ before it to allow it to build right in main text like\_this.  Same with \# and \$ and more.  

% finish the document with this command and we're all done!
\end{document} %% DOCEND
