LaTeX Class and Template Development for Journals and Publishers

100% formatting by humans

We develop, rebuild, and maintain the LaTeX class files (.cls) and author templates your journals, proceedings, and book series are produced from, matched exactly to your house style. Choose the Standard Template, or the Accessible Template for tagged PDF/UA-2 output that meets WCAG 2.1 AA and ADA Title II.

Secure and confidential

Your manuscript is safe with us: all LaTeX experts sign a confidentiality agreement to make sure that your unpublished paper is protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the template enforce our page limit?

The template sets the layout that the page limit is measured in, and the guide tells authors how to stay within it.

Do you build the class for the proceedings volume too?

Yes. The volume class assembles accepted papers with front matter, a table of contents, and an author index.

When should we start?

Before your call for papers, so authors write in the template from their first draft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you publish the template on Overleaf for us?

We prepare the template ready for Overleaf's template gallery. Publishing it is done from your Overleaf account.

Will the author template match our production class?

Yes. It has the same structure as your production class, so accepted papers move to production without rework.

Do authors need to change how they write?

No. Authors write as usual; the template and guide show them what to supply, such as figure descriptions.

Accessible LaTeX Templates: Tagged PDF/UA-2 and MathML Output

  • Tagged PDFs by Default

    The class uses LaTeX's built-in tagging (\DocumentMetadata) to write headings, lists, tables, figures, reading order, and language into the PDF structure. The output targets PDF/UA-2, WCAG 2.1 AA, and ADA Title II, with no extra step for authors.

  • Your Typography, Untouched

    Page geometry, running heads, float behaviour, and citation style stay as your readers know them.

  • Mathematics as MathML

    Compiled with LuaLaTeX, equations are tagged as MathML, so screen readers can read them instead of skipping an image.

  • Defensive Author Handling

    Document metadata, language, and a marked place for figure alt text are built in, with clear behaviour when an author loads a package that conflicts with tagging.

What Our LaTeX Template Development Includes

  1. The Class Family

    Drop-in compatible with your submission and production workflow, with documentation your team can maintain. Both plans.

  2. Validation Reports

    veraPDF PDF/UA-2 results on the class as it was and as delivered, plus a sample article your accessibility lead can test with a screen reader. Accessible Template.

  3. Author Guidance You Can Publish

    What authors must supply, what to avoid, and what the class handles for them. Both plans.

  4. Maintenance Through TeX Live Releases

    Each annual TeX Live release can change how classes behave. We re-check the class against updates and fix anything that breaks before your authors find it. Both plans.

Our 4-Step LaTeX Class Development Process

  1. Send Us Your Class Files

    Your class files or author template, your style guide, and a few representative published articles.

  2. Audit, Proposal, and Agreement

    We audit what the class produces today, agree the scope and plan on a call, and send a written proposal for your procurement to sign. For portfolios, we suggest one journal as a pilot first.

  3. We Build the Class

    Built to your style guide. For the Accessible Template, we add tagging and MathML, validate the output with veraPDF against PDF/UA-2, and check it by hand with a screen reader.

  4. Rollout and Maintenance

    Your team tests the class on real articles, we make any revisions, and maintenance continues through each TeX Live release.
