ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I wish first of all to thank the members of the Staff of the Italian TEX
and LATEX User Group (guIt, http://www.guit.sssup.it/), in partic-
ular Prof. Enrico Gregorio and Andrea Tonelli, for their invaluable
aid during the writing of this work, the detailed explanations, the pa-
tience and the precision in the suggestions, the supplied solutions, the
competence and the kindness. Thanks also to all the people who have
discussed with me on the forum of the guIt, prodigal of precious ob-
servations and good advices.
Finally, thanks to André Miede, for his wonderful ClassicThesis
style, and to Daniel Gottschlag, who has given to me the hint for this
original reworking.

This chapter introduces the (truly simple) basic notions of ArsClas-

sica and presents its fundamental ideas and peculiarities.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The ArsClassica package changes some typographical aspects of the The art of writing
ClassicThesis style, by André Miede [2, 3]. It allows to reproduce the with LATEX
layout of my guide The art of writing in LaTeX [4] (in Italian) and of
the present document. The hint for this original reworking of Classic-
Thesis was gave to me by Daniel Gottschlag.

1.2 USE OF THE PACKAGE

The package is shaped for being executed on a complete installation of
MiKTEX or TEX Live, and uses font freely available.
The installation of ArsClassica is very simple. You can download the
arsclassica.zip file from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/
macros/latex/contrib/arsclassica/); then you will decompress it
and install arsclassica.sty in the usual way.
The package works with the KOMA-Script classes (scrreprt, scrbook ArsClassica requires
and scrartcl) and requires the classicthesis and classicthesis-ldpkg pack- the 2.7 version of
ClassicThesis
ages, updated to the last version available (the 2.7); it must be loaded after
these last ones. It can be loaded simply by
\documentclass[h. . .i]{scrreprt} % or scrbook or scrartcl

\usepackage[h. . .i]{classicthesis-ldpkg}
\usepackage[h. . .i]{classicthesis}
\usepackage[h. . .i]{arsclassica}

\begin{document}
...

 2 FUNDAMENTALS

\end{document}

For example, the present document has been obtained with the fol-
lowing code:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,openright,titlepage,fleqn,%
headinclude,,footinclude,BCOR5mm,%
numbers=noenddot,cleardoublepage=empty,%
tablecaptionabove]{scrreprt}

\usepackage{h. . .i}
\usepackage[backref]{classicthesis-ldpkg}
\usepackage[eulerchapternumbers,subfig,beramono,%
eulermath,pdfspacing]{classicthesis}
\usepackage{arsclassica}
\usepackage{h. . .i}

\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

It is recommended, but not compulsory, to use the options beramono,

eulerchapternumbers and eulermath together with ArsClassica.

1.3 OPTIONS OF THE PACKAGE

References of backref The ArsClassica package has five options available, english (default),
in Italian french, german, spanish, and italian,

\usepackage[hlanguagei]{arsclassica}

which allow to have the final bibliographical references (generated by

the package backref, loaded automatically from classicthesis-ldpkg) and
the labels of the minitocs (if the package minitoc is loaded) respectively
in English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian.

1.4 THE STYLE

The difference The typographical style obtained with ArsClassica differs from Classic-
between ArsClassica Thesis for the following aspects:
and ClassicThesis
• use of Iwona font, by Janusz M. Nowacki, for the titles of the
sectioning units of the document (chapters, sections, subsections,
sub-subsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs), for the labels
of description lists, for the headlines and the label of the captions
(ClassicThesis does not use any font sans serif);
• customized chapter numbers;
• semi-transparent headlines; the headlines are separated from the
page number by a small rule;
• captions with labels in boldface (which ClassicThesis does not
use);
 1.5 NEW COMMANDS 3

• itemize lists with semi-transparent labels;

• index on two columns with balance;
• space between the lines always fixed to 1.00 (ClassicThesis sets it
to 1.05, if the Palatino font is used);
• symmetrical marginal notes (flushed right in the even pages, left
in the odd ones—in twoside documents), like Bringhurst does in
his Elements [1] (but not ClassicThesis, which flushes the marginal
notes always left).
• “double square” text body (like in version 2.3 of the style), for
documents written in A4 format using Palatino font.
The ArsClassica package is conceived in order to provide to the user It is recommended to
a ready-to-use typographical style: if you change the previous settings, keep the settings of
ArsClassica
you will risk to destroy the equilibrium of the style, so it is highly unchanged.
recommended to keep them unchanged.
One of the principles of LATEX is that it allows the author to take
no interest in the typographical questions, permitting him to focus
only the structure and the contents of the document. This fact should
always be taken in consideration: using a style written from others,
the user accepts all the typographical settings chosen for him from the
author of the style, and he is not forced to study typography in order
to fix the layout of his publications. This is the case of ArsClassica
too: if you change its settings, you will contradict this philosophy and,
consequently, you must study (a lot of) typography in order to obtain
acceptable results.
The style obtained with ArsClassica is not therefore configurable or
customizable (the only exception is the option for the language). The
typographical style is something of very personal: if you are satisfied
with the package and find attractive the idea to take no interest in the
problem of the style definition, then you will use ArsClassica with satis-
faction; otherwise, if you have different needs or you are not satisfied
with the layout of the package, then you should try other classes or
packages, even building your own style.

1.5 NEW COMMANDS

1.5.1 Particular logos

The package offers the commands \ctLaTeX , \ctLaTeXe and \ctTeX , The commands
which allow to reproduce respectively the LATEX, LATEX 2ε and TEX logos \ctLaTeX,
\ctLaTeXe, \ctTeX
correctly written in Iwona.

1.5.2 Graphics with coloured background

The \arsincludegraphics command is defined, which allows to in- The

clude graphics with “Alice Blue” coloured background, like in Fig- \arsincludegraphics
command
ure 1b on the following page; it works like \includegraphics . This
works, of course, only with graphics with a transparent background,
such us pdf or some png files. You might want to say

The \arsincludegraphics command is defined, which allows to in-

clude graphics with “Alice Blue” coloured background. In the previ-

was named \myincludegraphics: the old name is still mantained (for
now), but deprecated.
