Hi Karl,

Thanks for your reply. I'm fond of the design of the journal, the two-column style, the typesetting, heading styles, tables using full page width, etc. The starry section headings from the issue 5 are so neat. So my attempt was to generate a published issue, any issue, to see how that works, the tex document, the sty file and macros. And then maybe be able to start a new layout based on that.

Thanks again

Franck
