SIINTEC LaTeX Template

This repository provides a LaTeX document class and template for formatting academic papers for SIINTEC (Simpósio Internacional de Inovação e Tecnologia / International Symposium on Innovative Technologies).

The class (siintec.cls) is designed to meet the event's guidelines for paper submissions, ensuring correct typography, layout, and styling out of the box.

Features

• Standardized Layout: Two-column A4 layout with precise margins as required by the symposium.
• Typography: Enforces Times New Roman font family with correct sizing for sections, titles, abstracts, and text body.
• Title and Author Management: Custom commands (\siintectitle, \siintecauthor, \siintecaffil) to easily format complex author lists and affiliations.
• Abstract Environment: Structured single-column abstract including keywords and abbreviations.
• Header and Footer: Custom header containing the conference logo and an informative footer.
• Vancouver Referencing Style: Configured for square bracket citations and standard Vancouver reference formatting.
• Rich Examples: The template main.tex illustrates how to format equations, tables, figures, TikZ graphics, and bibliography.

Repository Contents

• siintec.cls: The core LaTeX class file that defines the document structure and styles.
• main.tex: A comprehensive example document showing how to use the class commands and environments.
• refs.bib: An example bibliography file using the Vancouver style.
• siintec.png: The conference header logo required by the class.
• Other sample images (biochip.png, edfa-setup.png) for demonstrating figure inclusion.

Requirements

To compile the document, you will need a standard LaTeX distribution (such as TeX Live, MiKTeX, or MacTeX) that includes pdflatex. The class relies on several common LaTeX packages, which are normally included by default:

• inputenc, fontenc, mathptmx (for Times New Roman)
• geometry, fancyhdr, titlesec (for layout and styling)
• graphicx, tikz, amsmath (for graphics and math)
• authblk, caption, natbib (for metadata and referencing)

Usage Instructions

1. Clone the repository (or download the files):

   git clone https://github.com/CCTQ-CIMATEC/siintec-template
   cd siintec-template

   or

   git clone https://github.com/nelsonafn/siintec-template
   cd siintec-template

2. Edit the document: Open main.tex and replace the placeholder text with your manuscript content. Update your metadata using the provided custom commands:

   • \siintectitle{...}
   • \siintecauthor[...]{...}
   • \siintecaffil[...]{...}
   • \siintecabstract{Abstract}{Keywords}{Abbreviations}

3. Add your references: Place your BibTeX citations in refs.bib.

4. Compile the document: Use pdflatex and bibtex to generate the PDF. For example:

   pdflatex main.tex
   bibtex main.aux
   pdflatex main.tex
   pdflatex main.tex

   Alternatively, you can use latexmk:
