Paragraphs always begin with a blank input line. Do not hyphenate words at the end of a line; TeX will do this. Continue to hyphenate modifiers within a line of text, e.g., ``author-prepared copy.''
Use curly quotes for quotation marks around quoted text ( ``xxx'') not straight quotes ( "xxx"). [For opening quotes, this is two octal 140 characters (hex 60); for closing quotes, this is two octal 047 (hex 27) characters.]
There are two commands that control the width of the text across the page
in the galley style; \narrowtext will set the column width to
3
in., and the \widetext command will set the text 7 in.\
wide. The \widetext command may be needed to set very long equations.
See the section on displayed math, below.
Neither \narrowtext or \widetext have any effect on the
output if the front matter calls for the preprint style. The preprint
style is a uniform 6.5 in. throughout.
Don't use \smallskip, \bigskip, or any other vertical motion
commands. Horizontal motion commands should be unnecessary as well.
LaTeX's normal footnote commands are enabled for use in REVTeX , but should only be used by authors publishing in a journal that allows bottom-of-page footnotes. Use recent issues of the particular journal as a guide.
