@reactwright/template-ieee

IEEE conference-paper template for the Reactwright document engine. US Letter paper with strict IEEE margins, full-width title block at the top of page 1, two-column body, Roman-numeral section numbering, "Fig. 1." auto-numbered captions, "TABLE I." caption headers, and bracketed numeric [N] citations resolved against a numbered References list.

When to use this over alternatives

• Pick @reactwright/template-ieee for IEEE conference submissions, proceedings papers, or anything that needs the canonical two-column IEEE conference layout.
• Pick @reactwright/template-ieee-report for IEEE-branded long-form documents (white papers, internal reports) where the two-column conference layout would compress prose. Same brand, single column.
• Pick @reactwright/template-report for non-IEEE business or technical reports.
• Pick @reactwright/template-essay for MLA-style undergraduate papers.

Format conventions

• US Letter paper, IEEE margins (19.05mm top, 25.4mm bottom, 15.875mm left/right).
• Body: Times New Roman 10pt, line-height 1.15, justified.
• Title block (page-1 spans both columns): 24pt centered.
• Body: two columns, 3.5" each, 0.167" gutter.
• Abstract (role="abstract"): 9pt bold-italic, justified, "Abstract—" em-dash preamble.
• Section heads (depth 1): 10pt small caps, centered, Roman-numeral numbering (I., II., III., …). The References heading is excluded from the Roman-numeral counter.
• Subsections (depth 2): 10pt italic, flush left, alpha numbering (A., B., C., …).
• First paragraph after any heading is flush left (no first-line indent); subsequent body paragraphs carry a 1em indent.
• Figure captions: 8pt "Fig. N. …" centered below the figure, auto-numbered via the ieee-figure counter.
• Table captions: 8pt "TABLE I. …" small caps above the table, auto-numbered via the ieee-table Roman counter.
• Tables: fixed-layout, 8pt, top + bottom rule, italic header row.
• Equations: numbered (1), (2) via the ieee-equation counter.
• Citations: [N] numeric, resolved against target-counter on the References target IDs.
• References (role="bibliography"): 8pt, numbered [1], [2], …, hanging indent.
• Running header on page 2+: document title, italic 8pt centered.
• Footer: page number centered 8pt.

Usage

import "reactwright/jsx";
import { Template } from "@reactwright/template-ieee";

export { Template };

export default function MyPaper() {
  return (
    <document title="A Robust Approach" author="A. Author and B. Coauthor">
      <section role="abstract" title="">
        <p>
          <em>Abstract</em>—Your abstract text appears here. Keep it
          to one paragraph; the template formats the em-dash preamble
          and bold-italic styling automatically.
        </p>
      </section>

      <section title="Introduction">
        <p>
          Body prose with citations <cite cite="shannon1948" />. The
          template emits the bracketed numeric form.
        </p>
      </section>

      <section title="Related Work">
        <section title="Prior approaches">
          <p>Subsection prose; depth-2 headings are alpha-numbered.</p>
        </section>
      </section>

      <section title="Conclusion">
        <p>Closing remarks.</p>
      </section>

      <refs>
        <ref-entry refKey="shannon1948">
          C. E. Shannon, "A mathematical theory of communication,"
          <em>Bell Syst. Tech. J.</em>, vol. 27, no. 3, pp. 379–423,
          1948.
        </ref-entry>
      </refs>
    </document>
  );
}

Implementation notes

The template went through a heavy migration to the styling dialect. IEEE_CSS is now an empty string kept for forward-compatibility; the exported IEEE_STYLES carries every typographic rule as classes bound via <rule> blocks against the resolved IR (section-heading, paragraph, cell, caption, etc.).

Two role-rule bindings remain in a <rules> block: one applies a numbered-figure counter when <figure variant="numbered" /> is used, and one applies an equation counter to <math variant="numbered" />. The rest is plain <rule match> against IR shape.

The bibliography is rendered by the userland <Bibliography> helper that the template includes after the body slot. Author-side, supply entries via a <refs> block; the engine collects them and the helper composes the back-matter section.
