 This repository contains the LaTeX templates for the journal [Texto Livre](https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/) and the final articles after the peer review and editorial process.
 
-The file ```textolivre.cls``` implements the LaTeX class to create PDFs and the file ```textolivre-html.cls``` implements the LaTeX class to create HTMLs. To create a new article using the template, use the file ```article.tex``` as a starting point and read the instructions it provides. The template files should not be edited. If you require an additional package, inserted it directly in the header of your ```.tex``` file.

 #### language support
-Multilanguage support is included through the ```polyglossia``` package. The main language should be setted when loading the class. The class will also set a secondary (and terciary language, if necessary). Other languages might be used by means of the ```\setotherlanguage{...}``` command.  The text in language, other than the default one, should comes inside this language environment. Read the instruction in the template usage example provided. For further information on ```polyglossia``` package, visit https://ctan.org/pkg/polyglossia.

 #### title, author, abstract, keywords
 Provided the title of the document using the standard ```\title``` command and the title in other language using the command ```\othertitle``` defined in the template. You might use ```\othertitle``` as many times as desired (usually just once and three times seldom).
 
 Authors are inserted using the ```authblk``` package. For more information on the package, visit https://www.ctan.org/pkg/authblk. You might also provide the author ORCID by the ```\orcid```  command (see the usage in the example file).
 
-To create multiple abstracts use the environment ```polyabstracts```. For the abstract using the default language, just provided it using the usual ```abstract``` environment. For an abstract in another language, use the language environment provided by polyglossia. You may use as many abstracts as you need. See the example:
