%    - based on vita.sty by kcb@hss.caltech.edu
%    - 1995/02/07: the first version
%    - 1996/10/09: if there is no business address the field is
%                  left out
%
% User documentation: This class file only provides basic definitions
% =================== of environments, which are then used in class
% option files to instantiate entries for different disciplines. Thus,
% create your document as follows:
%
%    \documentclass[<discipline>]{vita}
%    \begin{document}
%      \name{Andrej Brodnik}
%      \businessAddress{First line \\ second line of bussines address}
%      \homeAddress{Again \\ multiline address \\ perhaps with phone number}
%    \begin{vita}
%      % here comes a real Curriculum Vitae for particular <discipline>
%    \end{vita}
%    \end{document}
%
% where it is assumed that file ``vita<discipline>.clo'' exists and defines
% proper categories used in given discipline. For detail explanation on
% categories in different disciplines see individual ``.clo'' files.
%
% The output will have format:
%
%   o on the first page will appear a title ``Curriculum Vitae'' (to
%     change it, see below under i18n notes -- internationalization)
%   o below will be your name
%   o below, side by side, your business and home address headed
%     by strings ``Business address'' and ``Home address''
%     respectively (to change these strings see below in i18n notes).
%   o then will follow the rest of CV as defined by ``<discipline>.clo''
%     file.
%   o the header of each but first page will include your name and the
%     page number.
%   o on the last page in the bottom right you will have the current
%     date, that is month and year (to change this, see below under
%     i18n notes).
%
%------
%
% i18n NOTES: If you are making CV for some other language, you have to
% =========== redefine:
%   - title:
%       o use command:   ``\title{<new title>}''
%       o default value: ``Curriculum Vitae''
%   - date:   
%       o use command:   ``\today{<date})''
%       o default value: ``<current month>, <current year>'' (in English)
%   - addresses headers:
%       o use command:   ``\HeaderBusiness{<new header>}''
%                        ``\HeaderHome{<new header>}''
%       o default value: ``Business address''
%                        ``Home address''
%
%------
%
% System documentation: class ``vita'' is based on the class
% ===================== ``article''. It changes the title into
% <default value> (see i18n notes) and the name becomes an
% author. Individual categories, publications and references are
% implemented using ``description'' environment.

% Curriculum vitae consists of categories which we create using
% command:
%
%      \newcategory[The name]{The label}
%
% where <The name> is written in bold character as a small title of
% category. It appears at the left margine of a page. If <The name>
% parameter is missing, it takes the same value as <The label>, which,
% in turn is used to refer to individual category. For example
% commands:
%
%      \newcategory{Name of category}
%      \newcategory[Name of category]{Name of category}
%
% have the same result. Now, to use category:
%
%      \newcategory[Some category]{some other name}
%
% the input has form:
%
% \begin{some other name}
%   \item The first item
%   \item The second one etc.
% \end{some other name}
%
% and the category will have on the output title ``Some category''.
% Entries in each category are preceded by \item.
%
%-----
% i18n NOTE: One can use as the names of categories strings in
% ========== different languages, but the labels can be the same in
% the same language, which is useful if you have a single CV and you
% want outputs in different languages.
