I am new to LaTeX. I am writing an article in LaTeX but at the moment I am not sure what should be the final layout of my article; so, I am writing it in IEEEtran
format. I thought that it would be easy to change the layout later if required.
But I read a book on LaTeX and I found the following line written in it which has made me worried:
"Although some parameters can be adjusted within a predefined document layout, the design of a whole new layout is difficult and takes a lot of time."
So, is it true that it will be difficult for me to change the layout later?
Addendum
Just now I saw that if I change the line \documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
to \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
, then I get so many errors for the keywords related to IEEEtran
.
article
) and load as few packages as possible i.e. mess with the layout as little as possible and use as few non-standard macros as possible. Then it is easier to switch layout and finalise your document later. I don't necessarily practise this, but I do think I should!
