This repository houses the abstract and paper templates for the Bicycle and Motorcycle Dynamics Conference. The initial templates are a merger of the BMD 2019 templates and the TU Delft OPEN templates.

The current process is to create an OpenDocument and LaTeX source that are as close to each other as possible. A Microsoft Word docx file is then exported from LibreOffice Writer based on the ODT file. This gives three versions: tex+cls, odt, and docx. The format is based primarily on the TU Delft OPEN style to match their books.

The files that we deliver to the authors can be built with:

make all

See the Makefile for various subcommands. This will generate a docx and a zip file with the latex source and its output. All files end up in the output/ directory.
