You could try the Class revtex4-1.

What are the differences, except adding a useless title page ?

EDIT : It appears to solve the previous error messages, though, but I don't want that title page.

Adding the option notitlepage seems to solve the issue.

Arrg ! Now just adding an affiliation cause an error :

Code: Select all

\affiliation{Département de physique, collège de Montréal}

Error message :

Missing $ inserted.

What gives !?

Here's the start of the document. What is wrong here with the revetex4-1 document class ??

Code: Select all

\begin{document}

\title{La limite de Chandrasekhar}
\author{Some name}
\affiliation{Département de physique, collège de Montréal}
%\date{}
\maketitle

From the PDF output, the affiliation typesetting is clearly wrong (spaces aren't right). The accents appears to cause a problem here. What the ... !?

I think, journal classes such as this one are written to simply match the journal print style. I assume they don't have an interface for settings other than needed for the journal, no re-program interface, even clean coding is not needed. They just work for the journal. They are not really tested against other packages. They are for their authors, rather then published for the world.

My way would be choosing an extensive, flexible, multi-purpose class, then modifying the appearance as needed, rather than taking a random journal class just because of it's visual appearance. A Koma Class has features, where a Journal Class has restrictions. Restrictions and limits make the publishers workflow possible, not having to deal with fancy things.

Just thoughts typed on my mobile phone, returning home to my computer, where I can check things above.

Thanks Stefan.

About the affiliations, with names having accents, there's surrely a simple and natural way, since many searchers are spreaded all around the world.

EDIT : the icomma package appears to be in conflict with the revtex4-1 class. I'll start a new topic on this.

It works for me. With pdfLaTeX, you need to load inputenc with an encoding option depending on the operating system or editor, such as:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

Stefan,

this is what I'm using (utf8 input). Please check my other topic about the icomma package :
