It looks like the Multi Master Fonts... we need a mechanism for our personnal cooking. So, may be, the document hierarchy should not exactly be seen as suggested but preferably like this: \documentclass{MyJournal} \usepackage[WithToc,WithoutIndex,% some global options of interest DeferedBiblio,EvenStartingPage]{mmarticle} \begin{document} \begin{mmarticle} \documentclass{article} % Start of article 1 class \begin{document} %% Article 1 stuff \end{document} % End of article 1 class \end{mmarticle} This scheme suggests that there is not a lot of stuff to include in the LaTeX kernel and that, probably, the most important part of the job could be done inside a [standard] package. --bg
