% HOW TO COMPILE
% --------------
% 1. Compile THIS file (Proceedings.tex), NOT any file inside Chapters/.
% 2. Use the sequence: pdflatex → biber → pdflatex → pdflatex
% or the single Overleaf "Compile" button (Overleaf runs biber
% automatically).
% 3. The output is the complete book of proceedings as a single PDF.
%
% FILE STRUCTURE
% --------------
% Proceedings.tex ← YOU ARE HERE (compile this)
% LTJournalArticle.cls ← Document class (do not edit)
% Logo_AMESDYC.png ← Cover logo (replace with final artwork)
% Chapters/
% PaperX/ ← One folder per accepted article
% main.tex ← Author-editable chapter file
% sample.bib ← Author's bibliography (BibTeX format)
% figures/ ← PNG figures for this chapter
%
% PACKAGE POLICY FOR EDITORS
% --------------------------
% All packages used across all chapters must be declared HERE.
% Authors must NOT add \usepackage{} commands to their main.tex.
% If a specific chapter requires an exceptional extra package, add it
% in the clearly marked "EXCEPTIONAL EXTRA PACKAGES" section below,
% with a comment explaining which chapter needs it and why.
%
%=======================================================================
\documentclass{LTJournalArticle}
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
% CORE PACKAGES — required by the proceedings format
% Do not remove any of these.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
% --- Layout & typography ---
\usepackage{geometry} % Page dimensions (already configured in .cls)
\usepackage{ragged2e} % \justifying command used in chapter body

\usepackage{multicol} % Two-column layouts where needed
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % Correct output encoding for accented chars
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % UTF-8 input encoding

% --- Figures & graphics ---
\usepackage{graphicx} % \includegraphics (PNG, JPG)
\usepackage{subcaption} % Side-by-side sub-figures (a), (b)
\usepackage{float} % [H] figure/table placement specifier
\usepackage{adjustbox} % Rescale/clip boxes
\usepackage{pdfpages} % Include external PDF pages if needed
% --- Tables ---
\usepackage{booktabs} % Professional horizontal rules (\toprule etc.)
\usepackage{array} % Extended column types

\usepackage{siunitx} % Consistent unit formatting (\SI{3.2}{\metre})
% --- Bibliography (biblatex + biber) ---
% citestyle=numeric → [1], [2] in-text citations (IEEE style)
% sorting=none → references appear in order of first citation
% Each chapter uses its own \begin{refsection}...\end{refsection}
% so that reference numbering restarts per chapter.
\usepackage[
backend=biber,
citestyle=numeric,
bibstyle=numeric,
sorting=none,
]{biblatex}
% --- Hyperlinks & cross-references ---
\usepackage{hyperref} % Clickable TOC, citations, URLs
\hypersetup{
colorlinks = true,
linkcolor = black,
citecolor = black,
urlcolor = black,
}
\usepackage{csquotes} % Required by biblatex when babel is active
% --- Code listings (if any chapter needs them) ---
\usepackage{listings} % Verbatim code blocks with syntax options
% --- Miscellaneous utilities ---
\usepackage{enumitem} % Fine control over list spacing
\usepackage{lipsum} % Placeholder text for testing layout
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
% EXCEPTIONAL EXTRA PACKAGES
% Add chapter-specific packages here ONLY when strictly necessary.
% Format: \usepackage{package} % Chapter N — reason
% Example: \usepackage{chemfig} % Chapter 3 — chemical structure diagrams

% \addchaptertoc{<Full title of the chapter>}
%
% Call this once at the start of each \begin{refsection} block.
% It does four things:
% 1. Forces a new right-hand page (cleardoublepage).
% 2. Adds the chapter title to the Table of Contents.
% 3. Resets all counters so figures, tables, and equations
% restart at 1 for every chapter.
% 4. Does NOT print a visible chapter heading — each main.tex
% manages its own \section*{} title block.
