Clarify relation with or fix IEEE transaction style #1

Open jorsn opened 9 months ago

jorsn commented 9 months ago

Hi, thanks for creating an IEEE transactions style. However, there are a few obvious differences to the actual IEEE transaction style (IEEEtran.cls, not IEEE-trans.cls):

  1. In the original, there is no line between the headers and the body.
  2. In the original, there are particular fonts (Times, I think), and they have serifs.
  3. The template is black and white, not blue.
  4. There is no logo.

But what is actually the purpose of this package? To submit to IEEE transactions, don't you have to submit Word or LaTeX anyway?

Best, Johannes

@jorsn Hi,

I'm not quite sure about what are you referring to. This template attempts to replicate a generic transaction and journal LaTeX template provided by IEEE https://template-selector.ieee.org/secure/templateSelector/publicationType

The things you described is also among the generic one. Black, no header separator and no logo. However, it is not what I attempted to replicate. So..

  1. Yes, there is. It just belongs to another template.
  2. Yes, all IEEE use Times New Roman font, but I'm using STIX Two -- which is a modern iteration of Times New Roman. And it's free to distribute.
  3. See 1).
  4. See 1).

A lot of journals/transactions in IEEE you can just submit the compiled PDF and be done with it. No need to provide Word or LaTex, since they have an entire infrastructure to process your article into their format. Unless it's a small transaction/journal.

Ps. And yes, I typo'ed IEEEtrans to IEEE-trans, but it's everywhere, unless typst have a new floating figure and footnote, I'm not going to touch anything yet.

Best,

Also, I wouldn't pay too much mind on the font, as long as it's still within acceptable margin of error I think it's fine (And you can always tweak it on your machine). We just want the draft's number of pages to nearly reflect the proof sent back from the editor.

Feel free to ask if you still have other questions.
