FILE LIST

• sample.tex - sample article for EJP or ECP (source file)
• sample.pdf - sample article for EJP or ECP (PDF compiled)
• LPPL - a copy of the LaTeX Project Public License
• README.md - this file itself!
• getmref.py - Python2 script to add MR URLs in bibliographies
• ejpecp.dtx - class source file
• ejpecp.ins - class install file
• ejpecp.pdf - class documentation

HOW TO BUILD ejpecp.cls

• pdflatex ejpecp.ins produces ejpecp.cls
• pdflatex ejpecp.dtx produces ejpecp.pdf

INSTRUCTIONS FOR EJP-ECP AUTHORS

• You only need ejpecp.cls, sample.tex, and sample.pdf
• Take the time to read sample.pdf
• Copy sample.tex into yourname.tex
• Edit yourname.tex (update metadata and the content of the paper)
• Be sure to have ejpecp.cls in the same directory (or any dir scanned for cls)
• Compile yourname.tex with a pdflatex engine producing yourname.pdf
• More detailed instructions for authors are available on Internet:
  • EJP: https://imstat.org/journals-and-publications/electronic-journal-of-probability/
    • ECP: https://imstat.org/journals-and-publications/electronic-communications-in-probability/

DEPENDENCIES

ejpecp is a LaTeX2ε document class designed to be used with a pdflatex engine. ejpecp relies on the following packages: amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb, amsthm, bera, dsfont, hyperref, geometry, graphicx, latexsym, mathtools, microtype, afterpackage. It was also successfully tested with the next generation engine lualatex.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If You get an error after compilation (e.g. in MiKTeX v2.9):

    ! pdfTeX error (font expansion): auto expansion is only possible with scalable fonts.

Try one of the following:

1.  Add _Latin Modern_ font loading lines before the document class line:

        \RequirePackage{lmodern}
        \RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc}
        \documentclass[EJP]{ejpecp}

    It will change bitmap _Computer Modern_ fonts with scalable _Latin Modern_ fonts.

2.  If 1st step does not solve the problem, then use `nofontexpansion` option:

    \documentclass[nofontexpansion,EJP]{ejpecp}

It will turn off font expansion feature of `microtype` package. 

**No worries**: font expansion will still be used at production stage.

• If Bitstream Vera font (i.e. bera package) is not available in Your TeX distribution, use nobera class option and add alternative main document font:

    \documentclass[nobera,EJP]{ejpecp}
    \usepackage{mathptmx}% URW Nimbus Roman
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Some suggestions can be found here: https://www.tug.org/FontCatalogue/seriffonts.html

**No worries**: `bera` package will still be used at production stage.
