• Use plain LaTeX2e with a4 paper:
  • \documentclass[a4paper]{article}

• Use graphicx package for inclusion of pictures:
  • \usepackage{graphicx}
  in the preamble and
  • \includegraphics....
  to include graphics files.

• For graphics files use encapsulated postscript (.eps) files if you use latex compiler or JPEG (.jpeg, .jpg) files if you use pdflatex compiler. Do not use bmp or pcx files !

• Do not hardcode references, i.e. do not write something like:
  • .... equation 1 ....
  Use \ref instead:
  • .... equation \ref{e1} ....
  and \label{} to define the corresponding label:
  • .... \label{e1} ....
  For references use "thebibliography" environment:
  • \begin{thebibliography}...
  • \bibitem ....
  and \cite for citations.

• Do not define or redefine macros, i.e. do not use \def, \newcommand, \newenvironment, \renewcommand, \newcounter, etc.

• Do not change the page layout or dimensions (\textwidth, \textheight,etc.).

• Send the latex file and the graphics files by e-mail as separate attachements.
