[Tex/LaTex] How to use LaTeX template for SIAM papers

templates

I need to prepare a paper for SIAM. I downloaded the latest template from SIAM website–siamltex1213.zip from http://www.siam.org/journals/auth-info.php. I am using a Basic TexWorks to open the docultex.tex. However, there are two errors like:

! Package hyperref Error: Wrong DVI mode driver option `pdfmark' (hyperref)
because pdfTeX or LuaTeX is running in PDF  mode.

See the hyperref package documentation for explanation. 
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.  ...                                  

l.3925 \ProcessKeyvalOptions{Hyp}

And also:

! Package hyperref Error: Wrong DVI mode driver option `dvips',
(hyperref)                because pdfTeX or LuaTeX is running in PDF mode.

How do I fix this??

Use latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf rather than pdflatex.

[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX template for use cases

You should try and keep you author's interface as simple as possible. I would create an environment to simplify this and add complexity and presentational aspects on the setup.

\newenvironment{usecase}
  \addheading{}{}
  \addrow{}{}
  \addmulrow{}{}
\end{usecase}

Here is a minimal example to implement this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\newcommand\addrow[2]{#1 &#2\\ }

\newcommand\addheading[2]{#1 &#2\\ \hline}
\newcommand\tabularhead{\begin{tabular}{lp{8cm}}
\hline
}

\newcommand\addmulrow[2]{ \begin{minipage}[t][][t]{2.5cm}#1\end{minipage}% 
   &\begin{minipage}[t][][t]{8cm}
    \begin{enumerate} #2   \end{enumerate}
    \end{minipage}\\ }

\newenvironment{usecase}{\tabularhead}
{\hline\end{tabular}}
\begin{document}
\begin{usecase}
  \addheading{Actor}{System user} 
  \addrow{Precondition}{The system, shows, in the form part of an object type, the number   indication.}
  \addrow{Postcondition}{A disconnected number indicating the type of `other constructed object'.}
  \addmulrow{Main path (M)}{\item User selects \ldots
                                   \item System demands \ldots}
\end{usecase}

\end{document}

You can add counters to automatically increment numbering, if you want. I couldn't understand your numbering scheme and hence left that out of the example.

To summarize, keep the author's commands simple (they only need to deal with the semantics) and place your presentational aspects in separate commands.

The best method for class notes was developed by E.W. Djikstra and hung in his office for many years.¹ In his memory here is a short hack to produce notes, in his style, using the LaTeX standard book class. It is a bit rough around the edges but can give you an idea for further development.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\makeatletter
\pagestyle{plain}
%% Redefine chapter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
  \vspace*{10\p@}%
  {\parindent \z@ \centering \reset@font
        {\huge\hfill\hfill \bfseries EWD-\thechapter \\
        \hfill\hfill\huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak}
        \par\nobreak
        \vspace*{2\p@}%
        \vskip 100\p@
  }}

\begin{document}
\chapter{The Real Numbers}
\lipsum[1-2]
\chapter{The Imaginary Numbers}
\section{Test section}
\lipsum[1-2]
\end{document}
