B.5  Classes, Packages and Page Styles

B.5.1  Document Class

Both LATEX2e \documentclass and old LATEX \documentstyle are accepted. Their argument style is interpreted by attempting to load a style.hva file (see C.1.1 to see where HEVEA searches its files). Presently, only the style files article.hva, seminar.hva, book.hva and report.hva exist, the latter two being the same file.

If one of the four styles has already been loaded at the time when \documentclass or \documentstyle is executed, then no attempt to load a style file is made. This allows to override the document style file by giving one of the four recognized style files of HEVEA as command line arguments.

B.5.2  Packages and Page Styles

They are ignored. Related commands do nothing. As a consequence, style files that are relevant to HEVEA should be loaded using the \input command. Note, however, \usepackage commands are echoed to the image file (see 6).

B.5.3  The Title Page and Abstract

All title related commands exist, with the following peculiarities: The abstract environment is present is all base styles, including the book style. The titlepage environment does nothing.
