3 Initial Commands

There are a series of initial commands that set up the required information for a starlink document – the type of document, the copyright, the Starlink Number, the title, abstract, authors etc. Here is an example from SC/21:

\stardoccategory {Starlink Cookbook}  
\stardocinitials {SC}  
\stardoccopyright{Copyright \copyright\ 2014 Science and Technology Facilities Council}  
\stardocnumber   {21.2}  
\stardoctitle    {The SCUBA-2 Data Reduction Cookbook}  
\stardocversion  {1.3}  
\stardocmanual   {\ }  
\stardocabstract {  
  This cookbook provides a short introduction to Starlink facilities,  
   especially \textsc{Smurf}, the Sub-Millimetre User Reduction  
   Facility, for reducing, displaying, and calibrating SCUBA-2 data.  
   It describes some of the data artefacts present in SCUBA-2  
   time-series and methods to mitigate them. In particular, this  
   cookbook illustrates the various steps required to reduce the data;  
   and gives an overview of the Dynamic Iterative Map-Maker, which  
   carries out all of these steps using a single command controlled by  
   a configuration file. Specialised configuration files are  
   presented.  
 }  
\stardocauthors{H.\ S.\ Thomas, M.\ J.\ Currie}  
\stardocdate{26 June 2014}  
\startitlepic{\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{sc21_s2logo}}

The startitlepic, stardocmanual, stardocversion can always be left out if you have nothing to fill them in with. The stardocabstract can be left out if you give the class option noabs.

These commands must be given in the document preamble (i.e. before the \begin{document} command).
