Let me profess that I know that I have made some bad choices. Hopefully I can get some help here, to clear things up. I have been told and read that writing an article/paper should in most cases be done in the document class memoir
, for being the most flexible and with the most tools.
Now... I found this great template, which is written in the documentclass paper
, which looked liked it only needed very few adjustments, to be really useful for my purpose, which I hope to use and share as a template at my faculty. Unfortunately I can't find any guide or notes about the documentclass paper
, which is why I'm here to get help.
The preamble looks like this:
\documentclass[a4paper, english]{paper}
\usepackage{lipsum, babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\arabic{footnote}}
\usepackage{tikz}
\bibliographystyle{vancouver}
\usepackage{usebib}
\bibinput{bibliography}
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
\title{VERY LONG TITLE}
\subtitle{The subtitle\\
\hfill\includegraphics[height=3cm]{frog.jpg} %logo
\vspace{-3cm}}
\author{First Name (A) Last Name (A)\footnote{E-mail: [email protected]}\\
First Name (B) Last Name (B)\footnote{E-mail: [email protected]}}
\institution{Name of University}
Which produces something like this:
My first question is, why isn't the footnote for the authors e-mail showing up at the bottom of the page? (And how to fix this)
My second question is related to \checkandfixthelayout
in memoir
. Is there something similar for paper
or is there another way to fix words exceeding the margin, as shown here:
So my big question is, if it's easier to make these few adjustments in paper
, or to switch to memoir and build a similar setup? (and if so, how to do it.)
EDIT: Added the \usepackage{microtype} to the preamble, which has fixed the problem with the margin.
paper
? Where?\thanks
instead of\footnote
in the\author
field to get the emails displayed at the bottom. As for the fix with words exceeding the margin, I'd recommend using the packagemicrotype
, at least as a first measure.\checkandfixthelayout
option, did you try to load the packagemicrotype
? I.e. simply add\usepackage{microtype}
to your preamble.article
, which bears absolutely no similarity to what you show. so we really do need to learn where you found this package before we can make any intelligent suggestions.memoir
or usingpaper
is a question very hard to answer. It is like asking which religion is better than another. You can savely try out both and decide which one fits you better. You also don't have to stick with your decision, you can later convert to another class ;-)
