CTAN update: asmeconf
The asmeconf class is a template to format conference papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This version eliminates legacy class options and several blocks of legacy code, updates the sample figures, makes minor changes to the BibTeX style, revises internal option handling, and streamlines other code. With luaLaTeX, fontspec is now loaded by default, but a new option \[nofontspec\] will prevent that. The layout and references styles of asmeconf follow the styles requested by ASME in 2024. Hyperlinks and pdf features are fully supported. The class includes a modern BibTeX style, asmeconf.bst, that supports online sources, URL and DOI fields, and generates current reference styles. This .bst can replace the old asmems4.bst.

asmeconf – A LaTeX template for ASME conference papers
The asmeconf class provides a LaTeX template for ASME conference papers, following ASME’s guidelines for margins, fonts, headings, captions, and reference formats as of 2022.
This LaTeX template is intended to be used with the asmeconf.bst BibTeX style, for reference formatting, which is part of this distribution. Unlike older ASME conference LaTeX templates, asmeconf pdfs will contain hyperlinks, bookmarks, and metadata; and the references can include the DOI and URL fields. This LaTeX template enables inline author names, following ASME’s current style, but it can also produce the traditional grid style. Options include line numbering, final column balancing, various math options, government copyright, archivability (PDF/A), and multilingual support. The code is compatible with pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
This LaTeX template is not a publication of ASME, but it does conform to ASME’s currently published guidelines for conference papers.
