Document Classes ⇒ Change Section and Subsection Headings in Amsart class

[Firat]

Hi Everybody,

I want to make simple templates for a journal. But I am not expert in latex so I search in internet for improving my knowledge.

I want to include journal logo and some information top of the article. I saw that it is possible in amsart class (as far as I know). I make something, but ???

Also the section headings not look like very good. I prefer that all section, subsection headings are in bold face, left alignment, not capital letter and indipendent from paragraph.

I am waiting for your suggestions and recommendations for the above problem

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't use the amsart class to begin with. I'd start with the standard article.cls and work from there. (Or perhaps start with the memoir or Koma Script article classes.) The AMS packages have a lot of quirks it would be best to steer clear of if at all possible.

Are these templates for your own personal use, or are they to be the official templates for your journal? Nothing personal of course, I wonder about the wisdom of having someone new to LaTeX creating templates!

Are these templates to take the form of .tex documents which will be supplied to users to fill in, or are they going to be a document class (.cls) file, or is it a package (.sty) file?

I think I'd answer the problem about the headings differently depending on the above.

What exactly was the problem with the logo? Your description was unclear.

Thanks for your answer frabjous. In the first page of the article I want to include a logo (eps file). I made something in amsart.cls and work good. But I want to see that also in article.cls. I wonder if it possible or not

Thanks in advance

I'm sure you can make it work with the article class, but if you want help with that, you need to provide more information, like where you want this logo, and on which pages, etc. I'd also recommend including a .pdf of the logo for those using older versions of pdflatex.

You also haven't made it clear whether you are creating a modified .cls file or just a .tex file.

Uploading the files you're working on or providing a minimal working example would get faster results.
