The standard LaTeX commands used in the body of the document should preferably be limited to those listed in Appendix 4. If you need to use other standard LaTeX commands, go ahead--but please inform Peter D. Mosses as soon as possible about which extra commands you need (in case of potential problems with conversion to HTML).
The package cofidoc, provided with and used by the template
doc.tex, defines the following new commands and environments:
\CoFI for CoFI;
\CASL for CASL;
\cofiWWW for http://www.brics.dk/Projects/CoFI;
\cofiFTP for ftp://ftp.brics.dk/Projects/CoFI;
\footlink{TEXT}{URL} for adding a footnote after TEXT,
containing the URL (and making TEXT a link to the URL when converting
to HTML).
hyperlatex (of general use, provided with and
required by cofidoc) defines moreover the following useful
environments:
\begin{example}...\end{example} for verbatim formatting,
but with \, {, and } having their usual
interpretation;
\begin{menu}\item...\end{menu} for compact itemization.
\setcounter{htmldepth}{0} for ensuring that the whole
document will be on the same HTML page.
To make the package cofidoc available to LaTeX when
formatting a CoFI document, store the files cofidoc.sty and
hyperlatex.sty in the same directory or folder as the document,
or (better) in a fixed location where LaTeX automatically
searches for packages.
Feel free to define new commands/environments of your own, for
abbreviating frequently-used patterns of mark-up. Put them all in the
preamble, before \begin{document}.
Use BibTeX for creating the bibliographic references. All
currently-installed CoFI documents may be cited with their labels as
keys, using the BibTeX file cofibib.bib; add any further
bibliographic entries you need to the file doc.bib.
See Appendix 5 for how to write entries with links to
online documents.
Conversion of a CoFI document from LaTeX to HTML is done when the document is installed in the CoFI archives. For conversion prior to installation, see Appendix 6.
