\begin{abstract}
This short note describes the {\ttfamily mathPAD} document class which must
be used to format \mathPAD\ articles.
\end{abstract}

Articles written for the \mathPAD\ journal must be formatted using
\LaTeX2e and the {\tt mathPAD} document class. Thus such an article has
the form
\begin{verbatim}\documentclass{mathPAD}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}
\end{verbatim}
The {\tt mathPAD} document class is based upon the {\tt article} document
class, it makes only some minor changes to that class. The {\tt mathPAD}
class may be used like the {\tt article} class is almost all respects. There
are only some minor restrictions concerning the layout of the article.

\section{Font Usage}

The \mathPAD\ journal is printed using PostScript fonts, these are
also chosen as default fonts for formatting. In order to allow for easy
previewing of the {\tt dvi} files under {\tt UNIX} when preparing an
article, one may use the option {\tt draft}. With this option Computer
Modern fonts are used for formatting, thus the resulting {\tt dvi} file may
be previewed for example with {\tt xview}.

If the paper is ready for final editing one should use the PostScript fonts
for formatting to control page and line breakings. In this stage the option
{\tt final} should be used instead of {\tt draft}. This option enables the
usage of PostScript fonts.

To preview the final version of an article one has to use a PostScript 
previewer like {\tt ghostview}. Of course first a PostScript file
must be created like in
\begin{verbatim}dvips -o my_article.ps my_article
ghostview my_article.ps
\end{verbatim}
When preparing an article with the Textures 1.7 \TeX\ implementation
one may use PostScript fonts right from the start. Textures can display
PostScript fonts on screen directly.

\section{New Option when using Textures}

There is only one new option in addition to the {\tt article} options:
\begin{itemize}
\item
The option {\tt textures} {\em must} be given if the document is formatted
using Textures 1.7. The reason is that Textures has other naming conventions
for PostScript fonts compared to {\tt UNIX}-based \TeX\ implementations.
\end{itemize}

\section{New \TeX\ Commands}

There are few new \TeX\ commands in the {\tt mathPAD} class:

\begin{description}
\item \verb/\mathPAD/
A command without arguments which prints as \mathPAD.
\item \verb/\MuPAD/
A command without arguments which prints as \MuPAD.
\item \verb/\addr{#1}/
A command with one argument which prints the current address of the
author of an article. Typically used as
\verb/\addr{Universit\"at GH Paderborn, {\tt kg@uni-paderborn.de}}/
for example. Must be used before \verb/\maketitle/ is called.
\item \verb/\toctitle{#1}/
Sometimes the title of an article has to be different from its name
in the table of contents. With \verb/\toctitle/ one may define the title
of the article as used for the table of contents. Typically used
as \verb/\toctitle{Generic Article}/ for example. Must also be used
before \verb/\maketitle/.
\item \verb/\volume{#1}/
A command with one argument which defines the volume and number of the 
current issue. Typically used as \verb/\volume{Vol 3 No 2 May 1997}/ for
example. Also to be used before \verb/\maketitle/.
\item \verb/\series{#1}/
A command with one argument which defines the title of a series of
articles. Typically used as \verb/\series{\MuPAD\ Programming}/
for example. To be used before \verb/\maketitle/.
\end{description}

\section{Restrictions}

Some restrictions apply for the {\tt mathPAD} class, compared to the
{\tt article} class:
\begin{itemize}
\item
The {\tt article} options {\tt a5paper}, {\tt b5paper}, {\tt letterpaper},
{\tt legalpaper}, {\tt executivepaper}, {\tt land\-scape},
{\tt 11pt}, {\tt 12pt}, {\tt oneside}, {\tt leqno}, {\tt
fleqn}, {\tt ti\-tle\-page} are disabled and may not be used.
\item
The \verb?\pagestyle? and the \verb?\markboth? commands must not be used.
\end{itemize}
Of course one should not destroy the common look of the \mathPAD\
articles. Especially one must not change the page layout or the paragraph 
spacing. Please do not insert \verb/\vspace/ or \verb/\hspace/
commands manually.

Most articles should not use two columns, because this makes the layout of 
floats very difficult. Articles with two columns are restricted to the
editorial section and the like.
