This project provides a (Xe)LaTeX class aiming to implement the style sheet of the Cascadilla Proceedings Project (http://www.lingref.com/cpp/authors/style.html).
If you are writing a paper for proceedings published by the Cascadilla Proceedings Project, you should be able to submit a properly typeset version using this class.
There is an existing LaTeX-class for Cascadilla proceedings, Max Bane's
cascadilla.cls
(https://github.com/maxbane/cascadilla.cls).
The current class uses some more up-to-date packages, in particular
biblatex
and biber
instead of bibtex
/natbib
. biblatex
and
biber
are more modern than bibtex
/natbib
and unless you have good reasons
against using them, you might as well upgrade (both should be part of
a regular TeX installation these days).
Personally, I have used this class to write a paper for the proceedings of WCCFL 2020. As of January 2021, the class provided a PDF that was accepted by the WCCFL editors.
However, there is no guarantee that a paper typeset using this class will be accepted. You can contact me if you run into any trouble.
- I made sorting more reliable. The bibliography should now be sorted alphabetically.
As you can read in example.tex
and example.pdf
, the package provides the
options a4paper
(default; I'm European...) and letter
for page sizes.
Example:
\documentclass[letter]{cascadilla-xelatex-biblatex.cls}
If you use XeLaTeX you can also specify xits
(default) or times
. The XITS
typeface is an OpenType implementation of
STIX/Times (New Roman) with Math support.
When compiling with pdfLaTeX, the newtxtext
package is used.
By default, the class uses the expex
package but you can use the gb4e
or
linguex
options to switch to those packages. See example.pdf
for details.
biblatex
andbiber
I've been using biblatex
/biber
over bibtex
/natbib
because the former
are being developed actively are much more straightforward to customise and
have native Unicode support. You don't have to adapt your bibliography or your
citation commands either as you can use biblatex
in a natbib
-compatibility
mode.
biblatex-unified
style
This class does not provide the bibliography styles it uses. It specifies the
use of the biblatex-unified
style
(https://github.com/semprag/biblatex-sp-unified/). Please download the
unified.bbx
and unified.cbx
styles from there and follow the instructions
provided.
To use the class, you have several options. You can download the class file
(cascadilla-xelatex-biblatex.cls
) and place it in your document's folder (or
your system's LaTeX folder.
I've also made the files available on overleaf. You can simply copy them into your own project and work with the existing template.
