Unofficial ALMA proposal class

This project provides a class file for ALMA proposal. The idea is to define the proposal format in a class file rather than the template itself. It is really simple, because the original template merely sets the page margin an font size.

The class files tries to emulate the original template file as closely as possible, including the weird italic font in figure captions (you can use the regularcap option to use a regular font instead).

The template file alma_proposal_template.tex contains all instructions from the original ALMA template, so it is quite long. If you want to start a proposal from scratch, it is probably better to start from this boilerplate:

\documentclass[regularcap]{alma_proposal}

\usepackage{graphicx,natbib}

\begin{document}

\section{Scientific justification}

\begin{figure}
  \centering \includegraphics[width=15cm]{myfig.pdf}
  \caption{Some figure caption}
\end{figure}

\section{Description of observations}
