\begin{abstract}
This guide is for authors who are preparing papers for the {\em Natural
Language Engineering\/} journal using the \LaTeX\ document preparation
system and the CUP NLE style file.
\end{abstract}
\section{Introduction}
The layout design for the {\em Natural Language Engineering\/} journal
has been implemented as a \LaTeX\ style file. The NLE style file is based
on the ARTICLE style as discussed in the \LaTeX\ manual. Commands which
differ from the standard \LaTeX\ interface, or which are provided in addition
to the standard interface, are explained in this guide. This guide is not a
substitute for the \LaTeX\ manual itself.
\subsection{Introduction to \LaTeX}
The \LaTeX\ document preparation system is a special version of the
\TeX\ typesetting program. \LaTeX\ adds to \TeX\ a collection of
commands which simplify typesetting by allowing the author to
concentrate on the logical structure of the document rather than
its visual layout.
\LaTeX\ provides a consistent and comprehensive document preparation
interface. There are simple-to-use commands for generating a table of
contents, lists of figures and/or tables, and indexes. \LaTeX\ can
automatically number list entries, equations, figures, tables, and
footnotes, as well as parts, chapters, sections and subsections.
Using this numbering system, bibliographic citations, page references
and cross references to any other numbered entity (\eg chapter,
section, equation, figure, list entry) are quite straightforward.
\subsection{The NLE Document Style}
The use of document styles allows a simple change of style (or style option)
to transform the appearance of your document. The CUP NLE style file preserves
the standard \LaTeX\ interface such that any document which can be produced
using the standard \LaTeX\ ARTICLE style can also be produced with the
NLE style. However, the measure (or width of text) is slightly different
from that for ARTICLE, therefore line breaks will change and it is possible
that equations may need re-setting.
\section{Using the NLE style}
First, copy the file \verb"NLE.sty" into the correct subdirectory on your
system. The NLE document style is implemented as a complete document style,
{\em not\/} as a document style option. In order to use the NLE style,
replace \verb"article" by \verb"nle" in the \verb"\documentstyle" command
at the beginning of your document:
%
\begin{verbatim}
\documentstyle{article}
\end{verbatim}
%
is replaced by
%
\begin{verbatim}
\documentstyle{nle}
\end{verbatim}
%
None of the standard document style options should be used.
\section{Additional facilities}
In addition to all the standard \LaTeX\ design elements, the NLE style
includes the following feature:
\begin{itemize}
\item Extended commands for specifying a short version
of the title and author(s) for the running
headlines.
\end{itemize}
Once you have used this additional facility in your document,
do not process it with a standard \LaTeX\ style file.
\subsection{Titles and authors' names}
In the NLE style, the title of the article and the author's name (or authors'
names) are used both at the beginning of the article for the main title and
throughout the article as running headlines at the top of every page.
The title is used on odd-numbered pages (rectos) and the author's name appears
on even-numbered pages (versos).
Although the main heading can run to several lines of text, the running head
line must be a single line.
Moreover, the main heading can also incorporate new line commands
(\eg \verb"\\") but these are not acceptable in a running headline.
To enable you to specify an alternative short title and author's name, the
standard \verb"\title" and \verb"\author" commands have been extended to take
an optional argument to be used as the running headline:
%
\begin{verbatim}
\title[A short title]{The full title which can be as long
as necessary}
\author[Author's name]{The full author's name, followed by\\
the affiliation if necessary}
\end{verbatim}
%
The following example is taken from Abadi et~al. (1991) and
shows several authors and their affiliations.
%
\begin{verbatim}
\title{Explicit substitutions}
\author[M. Abadi and others]
{M.\ns A\ls B\ls A\ls D\ls I,\ns
L.\ns C\ls A\ls R\ls D\ls E\ls L\ls L\ls I\\
Digital Equipment Corp., Systems Research Center,\\
130 Lytton Avenue, Palo Alto, California, USA 94301
\and
P.-L.\ns C\ls U\ls R\ls I\ls E\ls N\\
Laboratoire d'Informatique, Ecole Normale Sup'erieure,
45 Rue d'Ulm 75005, Paris, France
\and
and\ns J.-J.\ns L\ls \'E\ls V\ls Y\\
INRIA, Domaine de Voluceau, Roquencourt, B.P.105, 78153,
Le Chesnay, Cedex, France.}
\end{verbatim}
Notice the use of the predefined macros \verb"\ls" and \verb"\ns" to
letter-space the author's name. As you can see from this example, when
there are four or more authors, the short author name argument should
contain the first authors name followed by the text `and others'.
\subsection{Abstract}
The NLE style provides for an abstract which is produced by the following
commands
%
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Lists}
The NLE style provides the three standard list environments.
\begin{itemize}
\item Bulleted lists, created using the \verb"itemize" environment.
\item Numbered lists, created using the \verb"enumerate" environment.
\item Labelled lists, created using the \verb"description" environment.
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Footnotes}
The NLE journal style uses superior numbers for footnote
references.\footnote{This shows how a footnote is typeset.}
\section{Some guidelines for using standard facilities}
The following notes may help you achieve the best effects with the NLE style
file.
\subsection{Sections}
\LaTeX\ provides five levels of section headings and they are all
defined in the NLE style file:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb"\section".
\item \verb"\subsection".
\item \verb"\subsubsection".
\item \verb"\paragraph".
\item \verb"\subparagraph".
\end{itemize}
Section numbers are given for sections, subsection and subsubsection headings.
\subsection{Running headlines}
As described above, the title of the article and the author's name (or authors'
names) are used as running headlines at the top of every page.
The title is used on odd-numbered pages (rectos) and the author's name appears
on even-numbered pages (versos).
The \verb"\pagestyle" and \verb"\thispagestyle" commands should {\em not\/} be
used.
Similarly, the commands \verb"\markright" and \verb"\markboth" should not be
necessary.
\subsection{Tables}
The {\tt figure} and {\tt table} environments are implemented as described in
the \LaTeX\ Manual to
provide consecutively numbered floating inserts for illustrations and tables
respectively.
The standard inserts and their captions are formatted centred.
Line breaks in captions can be inserted as required using \verb"\\".
The NLE style file will cope with most positioning of your tables
and you should not normally use the optional positional qualifiers on the
\verb"table" environment which would override these decisions.
Normal journal style sets the table caption first, followed by a double
rule, the table body and a double rule at the bottom. Single rules and
spanner rules (\verb"\cline") can be used to separate headings from the
columns. For example, Table~\ref{sample-table} is produced using the
following commands:\par

\hline\hline
\end{tabular}
\vspace{-2\baselineskip}
\end{minipage}
\label{sample-table}
\end{table}
The \verb"tabular" environment should be used to produce ruled tables;
it has been modified for the NLE style in the following ways:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Additional vertical space is inserted above and below a horizontal rule
(produced by \verb"\hline");
\item Tables are centred, and span the full width of the page; that is,
they are similar to the tables that would be produced by
\verb"\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}".
\end{enumerate}
Because of this reformatting, vertical rules should not be used;
furthermore, commands to
redefine quantities such as \verb"\arraystretch" should be omitted. If
the old tabular facilities are needed, there is a new environment,
\verb"oldtabular", which has none of the reformatting; it should be used
in exactly the same way.
\subsection{Illustrations (or figures)}
The NLE style will cope with most positioning of your illustrations
and you should not normally use the optional positional qualifiers on
the \verb"figure" environment which would override these decisions.
Figure captions should be below the figure itself, therefore the \verb"\caption"
command should appear after the figure or space left for an illustration.
Figure~\ref{sample-figure} shows an example of space left above a
caption for artwork to be pasted in. This was produced with the
following commands:
%
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}
\vspace{5cm} % the vertical depth of the artwork
\caption{An example figure with space for artwork.}
\label{sample-figure}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}
%
\begin{figure}
\vspace{5cm} % the vertical depth of the artwork
\caption{An example figure with space for artwork.}
\label{sample-figure}
\end{figure}
%
The vertical depth should correspond roughly to the artwork you will submit;
it will be adjusted to fit the final artwork exactly.
\subsection{Bibliography}
As with standard \LaTeX, there are two ways of producing a bibliography;
either by compiling a list of references by hand (using a
\verb"thebibliography" environment), or by using BibTeX with a suitable
bibliographic database. However, contributors are encouraged to format
their list of references in NLE style outlined in section~\ref{fullref}
below.
\subsubsection{References in the Text}
References in the text are given by author and date.
Whichever method is used to produce the bibliography, the references in
the text are done in the same way. Each bibliographical entry has a key,
which is assigned by the author and used to refer to that entry in the
text. There is one form of citation -- \verb"\cite{key}" -- to produce the
author and date, and another form -- \verb"\shortcite{key}" -- which
produces the date only. Thus,
Akmajian and Lehrer \shortcite{akm76} is produced by
%
\begin{verbatim}
Akmajian and Lehrer \shortcite{akm76}
\end{verbatim}
%
while \cite{sal90} is produced by
%
\begin{verbatim}
\cite{sal90}.
\end{verbatim}
\subsubsection{List of References}\label{fullref}
The following listing shows some references prepared in the style of the
journal.

This list typesets as shown at the end of this guide.
Each entry takes the form
%
\begin{verbatim}
\bibitem[\protect\citename{Author(s), }Date]{tag}
Bibliography entry
\end{verbatim}
%
where \verb"Author(s)"\ should be the author names as they are cited in
the text, \verb"Date" is the date to be cited in the text, and \verb"tag"
is the tag that is to be used as an argument for the \verb"\cite{}" and
\verb"\shortcite{}" commands. \verb"Bibliography entry" should be the
material that is to appear in the bibliography, suitably formatted. This
rather unwieldy scheme makes up for the lack of an author-date system in
\LaTeX.

\section{Special commands in {\tt nle.sty}}
The following is a summary of the new commands, optional
arguments and environments which have been added to the
standard \LaTeX\ user-interface in creating the NLE style file.
\vspace{6pt}
\noindent
\begin{tabular}{lp{8cm}}
{\em New commands} & \\
\ifprodtf
\verb"\cite" & the optional argument has changed it's use. This
allows author-date citations to be changed without
loosing the link to the bibliography entry.\\
\fi
\verb"\hpt" & to typeset a centered decimal point (\eg 1\hpt1).
These are normally used inside the body of tables.\\
\verb"\ls", \verb"\ns" & to letter space the author's name. \\
\verb"\proofbox" & used with \verb"\usebox" to place a proof-box
in the text. \\[6.5pt]
{\em New optional arguments} & \\
\verb"[<short title>]" & in the \verb"\title" command: to define a right running
headline that is different from the article title. \\
\verb"[<short author>]" & in the \verb"\author" command: to define a left running
headline with text that is different from the
authors' names as typeset at the article opening. \\[6.5pt]
{\em New environments} & \\
\verb"proof" & to typeset mathematical proofs. \\
\verb"proof*" & to typeset mathematical proofs without the
terminating proof-box.
\end{tabular}
\ifprodtf
%
\section{Notes for Editors}
This appendix contains additional information which may be useful to
those who are involved with the final production stages of an article.
Authors, who are generally not typesetting the final pages in the
journal's typeface (Monotype Times), do not need this information.
\subsection{Catchline and date commands}
To be placed in the preamble; for example:
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb"\pubyear{1998}"
\item \verb"\volume{{\bf 1} (1):}"
\item \verb"\pagerange{35--48}"
\item \verb"\received{1 April 1993; revised 30 October 1993}"
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Macros provided by {\tt NLEsym.sty}}
None at present.
\subsection{Editing citations (when the author has used the
{\tt cite} command)}
In the past when an automatic \verb"\cite" command produced text in the output
which needed to be changed, the argument (in [ ]) from the bibliography entry
was copied to the location of the \verb"\cite" command and then modified.
The \verb"\cite" command would then be removed as part of this process.
In the near future, we will probably have to supply \TeX\ output which will
need to contain `PDF marks' for interactive browsing. Clearly by removing
the automatic link to the bibliographic entry (referenced by the \verb"\cite"),
we are making extra work for ourselves later on.
To avoid this, the function of the \verb"\cite" command's optional argument
has been changed. For example, the \verb"\cite" command for the
`\verb"mcc90"' entry gives:
\[ \hbox{(McCord 1990)} \]
but you want the following to appear in the text:
\[ \hbox{(McCord 1990, see p.~119)} \]
you would then use:
\[ \hbox{\verb"\cite[(McCord 1990, see p.~119)]{mcc90}"} \]
to obtain the desired result. Notice that you have to supply
the round brackets as well in the optional argument.
This modification also works for the \verb"\shortcite" command.
