CTAN update: asmeconf
The asmeconf class is a LaTeX template to format conference papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This version includes changes to support tagged pdf. The title and author blocks are recoded into expl3 with adjustments to support tagged pdf. The metalogo and xcoffins packages have been dropped in favor of the hologo package and direct use of expl3 coffins. An experimental (and undocumented) option [captionpatch] supports tagging of the caption package, which is loaded by the class. With this option and current LaTeX tagging support, asmeconf pdfs can validate as PDF 2.0/A-4F provided that [spanish] option is omitted. (PDF 2.0/UA-2 validation is not possible at present.) Other changes include: revisions internal some variable names; better segregation of packages loaded for compatibility; and minor changes to asmewide.sty.

asmeconf – A LaTeX template for ASME conference papers
The asmeconf class provides a LaTeX template for ASME conference papers, following ASME’s guidelines for margins, fonts, headings, captions, and reference formats as of 2025.
This LaTeX template is intended to be used with the asmeconf.bst BibTeX style, for reference formatting, which is part of this distribution. Unlike older ASME conference LaTeX templates, asmeconf pdfs will contain hyperlinks, bookmarks, and metadata; and the references can include the DOI and URL fields. This LaTeX template enables inline author names, following ASME’s current style, but it can also produce the traditional grid style. Options include line numbering, final column balancing, various math options, government copyright, archivability (PDF/A), and multilingual support. The code is compatible with pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
This LaTeX template is not a publication of ASME, but it does conform to ASME’s currently published guidelines for conference papers.
