Upload `.cls` to CTAN #1

Open roaldarbol opened 2 years ago

roaldarbol commented 2 years ago

Consider uploading the .cls to CTAN so the document class can be included in TeXLive and MiKTeX, and the template doesn't need to include the .cls file.

hvoss49 commented 2 years ago

The template can be part of the documentation. Your upload should have the following structure:

doc/     ->  everything without the .cls
latex/    -> the .cls file
README     
Changes  -> short log for updates

The Changes file can look like

0.02  2022-11-10      - bugfix for ....
0.01   2022-10-30    - first CTAN version

@hvoss49 I'm looking into this currently. I read a lot about .dtx and .ini files. For this, do I need to convert the .cls file into .dtx or would it suffice to just zip a folder of the structure you mentioned above?

hvoss49 commented 1 year ago

No, you can upload it as a zip file with the above directory structure. Creating a .dtx and .ini file makes only sense, if you are interested in further working with LaTeX.

Perfect, thanks for the clarification!
