new version of the MNRAS LaTeX package
I found this just by chance, so perhaps not all are aware of it:
http://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press...-latex-package QUOTE New version of the MNRAS LaTeX package Last Updated on Friday, 29 May 2015 16:50 Published on Friday, 29 May 2015 16:44 MNRAS coverThe journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS) encourages authors to prepare their papers using the LaTeX document preparation software. MNRAS provides a LaTeX package (called 'mnras') which allows authors to approximate the final appearance of the journal. It includes numerous features to simplify the preparation of papers. MNRAS has just completed a major update to this package, version 3.0, which includes: * Additonal functionality, including links and a new \ion command * Improvements to page layout, positioning of figures etc. * Updated appearance to be closer to the final journal * Better BibTeX support, including automatic treament of arxiv preprints, three-author papers and journal shortcuts used by NASA ADS * Completely rewritten documentation * A new template to ease writing a new paper Authors are encouraged to use the new package and updated style files. It can be downloaded from this directory at the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). /QUOTE The CTAN link is http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/mac...contrib/mnras/ . |

I've just tried it for an almost-complete paper and it's certainly an improvement. At least the bug with the order of single-column and double-column figures and tables has gone: that's been annoying me for more than 20 years and I have lost count of the number of times[*] I've had to explain it to collaborators. And they now actually tell people how to use the mandatory Times fonts, which might finally put an end papers set in horrible CMR. A slight annoyance is that it appears that \cite in figure captions now needs \protect.
