YOUR MANUSCRIPT

The following makes some suggestions which might improve the usefulness of your manuscript. They assume that you are using Latex2e. The only really vital one is to put your contribution on a public access website!

• It would be helpful if the link URL is an introductory page which describes the content and level of your text briefly, so that readers can assess whether or not it has a chance of meeting their needs. Include your name, and consider including your mail and email addresses. You may also put statements here about your copyright.

• Internal hyperlinks are very easy to produce, and are worth including. Officially you are advised to put \usepackage{hyperref} at the end of your preamble just before \begin{document}. You do not need to put any hyperlinks in the text yourself, although you can do. The software will add a large number for free. In spite of the above, you may need to put definitions of theorem-like environments after \usepackage{hyperref}. For further information see HyperTex FAQ

• Produce the text as a pdf file. Recent latex editors can produce pdf files as easily as dvi files. Most computers can now read these.

• Start every section on a new page. This makes it easier for others to print out the part which they want. You can do this by using the "Replace All" button on your editor's menus to replace \section by \newpage\section.

• It is possible to alter the headers on each page to emphasize that you are the author. This is done by entering the following commands in the preamble.
  \pagestyle{myheadings}
  \markboth{\copyright YourNameOnLeft}{ YourAddressOnRight}

• The following recommendation is worth bearing in mind when you write notes - but it would take a lot of trouble to alter something you already have written. If individual sections are to be meaningful when printed out on their own, cross-references between sections need to be written carefully. One idea is to give important theorems names, and refer to them by name as well as by number. Another is to avoid cross-referring to equation numbers in different sections; if you really need the equation then write it down again, giving the cross-reference for its proof.

• You might consider producing each section as a separate pdf file. This reduces the amount of time spent downloading the files. It is helpful to provide a brief description of the contents of each chapter, so that the reader can decide which one to download. It depends upon dealing with theorem and equation numbering problems.

If you have further suggestions, please let the editors know at mathSonline@mth.kcl.ac.uk, but do not type the S! Your header should be 'Modern Analysis Online'.
