The LaTeX template is distributed as a ZIP archive, which you should download and unzip. Notice that this is the new version from 04-10-2022; if you have downloaded an earlier version, please make sure to update at least the eiss.sty file.

Please start by reading README.txt, also copied as follows:

This is a LaTeX template package for EISS, for either pdflatex, xelatex or lualatex as the typesetting engine (we recommend the use of xelatex). As of EISS 14, latex with dvi output is no longer supported. 

This package consists of 12 files:

README.txt
lppl.txt
eiss.sty
eiss13_logo_blank.pdf
cat.png
gl-authoryear-comp.cbx
biblatex-gl.bbx
main.tex
AUTHOR_body.tex
AUTHOR_refs.tex
AUTHOR_bib.bib
main.pdf


You're reading README.txt. :-)

lppl.txt contains the package license (the LaTeX Project Public License Version 1.3c).

eiss.sty is the LaTeX style file for EISS 14. Please do not modify it.

eiss13_logo_blank.pdf is a file containing a blank logo. It is inserted by AUTHOR_master.tex. It may be easiest to keep this file in the same directory as your TEX files.

cat.png provides an sample cat picture demonstrating how images can be included. This file can safely be removed, and should not be resubmitted.

gl-authoryear-comp.cbx and biblatex-gl.bbx are biblatex style files from the journal Glossa (see https://www.glossa-journal.org/). They provide the bibliographic style that you should use. These files are also available at:

https://github.com/guidovw/Glossalatex

(The files is included as a convenience. It is not clear what their license is.)

main.tex, AUTHOR_body.tex, AUTHOR_refs.tex, AUTHOR_bib.bib -- these four files are to be edited for your paper:

  - main.tex is the file in which you set 12 parameters for your
  paper, as well as for loading any additional packages that you
  need. Please follow the instructions in it (it's intended to be
  self-explanatory). This is the file that you compile. The name has 
  been chosen for ease of integration with Overleaf. While you work
  on Overleaf, do not rename it (but before submitting, change its
  name to "AUTHOR_main" with your last name, e.g.,
  roussarie_main.tex).

  - AUTHOR_body.tex is the file for the body of your paper. This is
  where you should write your main text. It's also advised to rename
  this file (by replacing "AUTHOR" with your last name).

  - AUTHOR_refs.tex is the file that loads your BIB file. Please follow
  the instructions in it. Please also rename this file accordingly. (In
  the case of EXAMPLE_refs.tex, the BIB file loaded is EXAMPLE_bib.bib.)

  - AUTHOR_bib.bib will contain your bibliographical references. 

We encourage use of unicode. For that, please make sure your source files use UTF-8 encoding. To compile your document, you should use a unicode-aware TeX engine, such as xelatex, but pdflatex is still supported. You can then directly use a wide range of Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic characters in your document, as well as the IPA.

Before sending the source files for your paper to the editors, please make certain that you've paid attention to the points mentioned at https://implicature.org/eiss14/latex_bibtex_advice .

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Happy LaTeXing!
