# The dccpaper bundle: LaTeX classes for submissions to IJDC and IDCC

The dccpaper bundle consists of three very similar classes.

ijdc-v14.cls corresponds to the template used by the
[International Journal of Digital Curation], beginning with volume 14.

ijdc-v9.cls corresponds to the template used by the
[International Journal of Digital Curation] for volumes 9 to 13 inclusive.

idcc.cls corresponds to the template used for the
[International Digital Curation Conference], beginning with IDCC15.

As the classes are so similar, their common features are abstracted out
into dccpaper-base.sty; please do not attempt to use this package
independently of the above classes.

The classes are able to produce both submissions and camera-ready papers.

## Installation

### Managed way

The latest stable release of the dccpaper bundle has been packaged for
TeX Live and MiKTeX. If you are running TeX Live and have `tlmgr`
installed, you can install the bundle simply by running
`tlmgr install dccpaper`. If you are running MiKTeX, you can install the
bundle by running `mpm --install=dccpaper`. Both `tlmgr` and `mpm` have
GUI versions that you might find friendlier.

### Automated way

A makefile is provided which you can use with the Make utility:

  * Running `make source` generates the derived files
      - README.md
      - ijdc-v9.cls
      - idcc.cls
      - dccpaper-base.sty
      - dccpaper-apacite.bib
      - dccpaper-biblatex.bib
  * Running `make` generates the above files and also dccpaper.pdf.
  * Running `make inst` installs the files in the user's TeX tree.
  * Running `make install` installs the files in the local TeX tree.

### Manual way

 1. Run `tex dccpaper.dtx` to generate the source files.
 2. Compile dccpaper.dtx with (any version of) LaTeX and Biber to generate the
    documentation. Due to a dependency on the markdown package, you will need
    either to use LuaLaTeX or to enable shell escape.
 3. Move the files to your TeX tree as follows:
      - `source/latex/dccpaper`:
        dccpaper.dtx,
        dccpaper.ins
      - `tex/latex/dccpaper`:
        ijdc-v9.cls,
        idcc.cls,
        dccpaper-base.sty,
        dccpaper-by.eps,
        dccpaper-by.pdf
      - `doc/latex/dccpaper`:
        dccpaper.pdf,
        dccpaper-apacite.bib,
        dccpaper-biblatex.bib,
        README.md

 4. You may then have to update your installation's file name database
    before TeX and friends can see the files.
