Short LaTeX Instructions

  1. The following characters are reserved for special functions and are forbidden otherwise: $, &, %, #, _, ^, {, }, \
    If you have to use them in text explicitly, they should be preceded by the backslash "\" (e.g. "... with 5% of defects ..." should be written as "... with \% of defects ...").
  2. The Croatian letters with diacritics may be inserted directly from the keyboard (within both MS Windows and Unix operating system). If you do not use a keyboard layout including Croatian special characters, you have to use the TeX substitutes: č, ć, đ, š and ž are entered as \v{c}, \'{c}, dj(without backslash!), \v{s} and \v{z}, respectively.
  3. Lower or upper indices may be written using the following syntax: $a^{n}$ for an, $x_{i}$ for xi, $^{239}U$ for 239U.
    All the mathematical expressions and symbols should be bounded by two "$" characters, even when there is no need for special symbols, e.g. in $ F = m a $. Please check that the special character "$", as well as the parentheses have been properly paired.
  4. Formulas may be put in separate lines by using:
     
         \[
              E = m c^{2} 
         \]
         
  5. Greek letters are usually obtained by preceding their name in English by "\": $\alpha$, $\beta$, ... $\mu$, $\nu$, ... $\rho$ ... Circumference is $2 r \pi$.
  6. Syntax for text in italic is: {\em tekst}. Syntax for text in bold is: {\bf tekst}. However, bold letters will not be allowed in the body of the abstract, but only in the list of references, to mark a volume.
  7. The new paragraph is obtained by inserting an empty line.
  8. Any other special text formatting, e.g. changing the font size or font type, is not allowed.
