Document Classes ⇒ document class "article"

[me_here_me]

Hi,
I have to write a paper using the document class "article". I searched on the internet and was not able to find some tutorial specifically about this document class. Can someone kindly point me to some tutorial or documentation where I can learn commands about "article".

Thanks for your help

First of all you should tell us something about the requirements this paper has to fulfil.


Best regards

Hi,

I searched on the internet and was not able to find some tutorial specifically about this document class.

Because it's a standard LaTeX class information about the article class should be contained in most LaTeX tutorials. Perhaps have a look at the short list Introductions and Guides for general information.

Can someone kindly point me to some tutorial or documentation where I can learn commands about "article".

Every good LaTeX introduction should point out the differences between article and the other base classes like book, report. Perhaps have a look at the source file article.cls, you can find it on your computer and here on CTAN too, at least to get an impression what's defined by article.

thanks for your replies, I will try to explain my issues in detail

I am writing a scientific paper (With a paper heading, followed by names of authors and address and then an abstract and the article) and I was earlier using a conference template where a template is provided and we just need to fill in our particulars.

When I switched to article documentclass it does not recognize \address{.....} (to put in authors addresses) and the \begin{keyword} (to put in keywords to be searched on the internet).

Although it recognizes the \title{....} and \author{....}, it does not display the title and author names in the produced pdf.

Here is my code

In this case you should give the scientificpaper package a try. And in this context the coverpage package may also be of interest.
