The confproc package ($Date: 2010/08/05 00:00:01 $) Copyright (c) 2011 by Vincent Verfaille Purpose: Confproc is a LaTeX2e package providing a new document-class together with various tools (Perl and Unix/bash scripts) for building conference proceedings, or concatenating any set of PDFs with a table of contents, index, bookmarks and general bibliography. The LaTeX2e class is mainly based on the 'pdfpages' package for PDF papers inclusion, and the 'hyperref' package for creating proper links, bookmarks and general bibliography back references. It also uses many other packages for fine tuning the table of contents, bibliography and index of authors. Current version 0.8 is the previous 0.7 major update with key-value option management, that has now been tested with TeXLive 2011. The added value of this class is in the time saved to quickly design conference proceedings or any collection of PDFs.

Read me: readme.txt This file (do: pdflatex confproc.dtx) Installation: pdflatex confproc.dtx Creates docstrip installation file confproc.ins and this file pdflatex confproc.ins Creates 'confproc.cls' class file, example files, scripts and documentation drive 'confproc.drv' Docstrip options available: package - to produce a (LaTeX2e) class file (.cls) driver - to produce a driver file to print the documentation example - to produce an example file, which demonstrates the possibilities of the package Move confproc.cls into a directory searched by LaTeX. pdflatex confproc.dtx Creates the (LaTeX2e) documentation. optionally: Edit confproc.drv and customize the documentation to your wishes. LaTeX confproc.drv Generates customized documentation. Depending on your customization you will have to run makeindex confproc.idx -s gind.ist -o confproc.ind and/or makeindex confproc.glo -s gglo.ist -o confproc.gls pdfLaTeX example*.tex Demonstrate the possibilities of this package.
