coverpage – Automatic cover page creation for scientific papers

The pack­age CoverPage was cre­ated to sup­ple­ment sci­en­tific pa­pers with a cover page con­tain­ing bib­li­o­graph­i­cal in­for­ma­tion, a copy­right no­tice, and/or some lo­gos of the au­thor's in­sti­tu­tion. The cover page is cre­ated (al­most) au­to­mat­i­cally; this is done by pars­ing BibTeX in­for­ma­tion cor­re­spond­ing to the main doc­u­ment and read­ing a con­fig­u­ra­tion file in which the au­thor can set in­for­ma­tion like the af­fil­i­a­tion he or she is as­so­ci­ated with.
The cover page con­sists of header, body and footer; all three are macros which can be re­de­fined us­ing \re­new­com­mand, thus al­low­ing easy cus­tomiza­tion of the pack­age. Ad­di­tion­ally, it should be stressed that the cover page lay­out is to­tally in­de­pen­dent of the main doc­u­ment and its page lay­out.
This pack­age re­quires four other pack­ages (key­val, url, textcomp, and ver­ba­tim), but all of them are stan­dard pack­ages and should be part of ev­ery LaTeX in­stal­la­tion.
