attinormativi

LaTeX class for the typesetting of Italian normative acts: municipal regulations, resolutions, statutes, ordinances, and similar documents.

Version 1.0 — 17 May 2026 Author: Federico Gallo <gallofede75@gmail.com>

Licence: LPPL 1.3c (maintained)

Description

The attinormativi class provides a complete typographic framework for Italian normative acts. It manages the hierarchical structure typical of such documents (books, titles, chapters, sections, articles, paragraphs), the institutional title page, dedicated indexes (articles, annexes, definitions), a draft mode with editorial notes, and optional integration with the cleveref package for Italian-language cross-references.

The class is built on top of the standard book class and is compatible

with pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX.

## Requirements

TeX Live 2020 or later (or an equivalent MiKTeX distribution).

Required packages (all included in standard distributions): iftex, lmodern, fontspec (XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX only), geometry, babel (with Italian language support), microtype, xcolor, titlesec, chngcntr, enumitem, hyperref.

For pdfLaTeX, inputenc and fontenc are also required; both are included in the kernel of any standard installation.

The xparse package is loaded automatically only on installations with a LaTeX kernel older than 1 October 2020; on later versions it is unnecessary as the corresponding commands are built into the kernel.

The optional package cleveref enables automatic Italian-language formatting of cross-references.

Fonts

The class uses exclusively the Latin Modern family, available in any standard TeX Live or MiKTeX installation with no additional dependencies.

• With pdfLaTeX: the lmodern package is loaded.
• With XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX: the corresponding OpenType fonts (Latin Modern Roman, Latin Modern Sans, Latin Modern Mono) are selected via fontspec.

The serif and sans-serif variants belong to the same family and ensure typographic consistency in both modes.

Installation

Copy attinormativi.cls to a directory where TeX can find it, for example:

TEXMFHOME/tex/latex/attinormativi/

Then refresh the file database:

mktexlsr

For a local installation limited to a single project, copying attinormativi.cls into the same folder as the .tex file is sufficient.

To regenerate attinormativi.cls from the documented source:

latex attinormativi.ins

Compilation workflow

At least two passes are required to populate all indexes correctly.

Refer to the corresponding section of the manual attinormativi.pdf for details.

Note. If compilation is interrupted abnormally, the .aux file may be truncated, causing the next run to produce the error File ended while scanning use of \@writefile. The remedy is to delete all auxiliary files (.aux, .toc, .idx, .glo, .art,.alg, .dfn, .out) and start again from scratch.
