HMC Clinic Report Class

The HMC Clinic LaTeX class was developed by Claire Connelly, mathematics department systems administrator, and computer science Professor Melissa O'Neill. As such, it works for both departments by editing the contents of the hmcclinic.cfg file.

The configuration file will also allow other departments to use the class; so, for example, if you're writing a report for a Clinic project that's sponsored by the physics department, you could edit hmcclinic.cfg to read

 \ProvidesFile{hmcclinic.cfg}%
   [2003/10/14 v1.0 hmcclinic configuration file]

 % Default department for Clinic reports compiled on this system.
 \AtEndOfClass{\department{Physics Clinic}}

The Code

Current release is 3.1.

Dependencies

This class also requires the cmtty package to work on systems not run by the department. Be sure to download that package and install it in your TEXMF tree or in the same directory as your document.

Using the Class

More details about using this class are available from an appendix in the department's Clinic handbook, which is available from the Clinic participants section (password-protected).

A Sample Report

We have a sample report document that works with both our Clinic and thesis classes. The source code for the sample document provides an example of “best-practices” LaTeX coding, as well as useful tips and tricks for working with LaTeX.
