You can get problems with the numbering when you mix "fixed floats" and "real floats": http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=figurehere Apart from this: you can get captions outside "real" floats e.g. with the caption package and \captionof. caption allows you also to define new float/caption types. > Before I can even think about that question, I need to know how I can > tell longtable or supertabular that it should use the "Example" as a > caption rather than "Table" and use the corresponding list. Or > rather---instead of changing the longtable environment---how do I > create a "duplicate" of longtable (or supertabular) which behaves like > an example (except that it doesn't float? longtable use the table counter and inserts its caption in the listoftables. This behaviour is quite hardwirded. You would have to hack the code to change it. You can't use \captionof inside a longtable, but you could try \captionof together with longtable* (which doesn't change the table counter): \documentclass[]{article} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{caption} \DeclareCaptionType{exa}[Example][List of Examples] \begin{document} \listofexas \captionof{exa}{Caption 1} \begin{longtable*}{l} cde\\ abc \end{longtable*} \begin{longtable}{l} \caption{fdg}\\ cde\\ abc \end{longtable} \end{document} Be beware that page breaks between the caption and longtable are possible. -- Ulrike Fischer From jgandradev at me.com Wed Feb 3 06:22:31 2010 From: jgandradev at me.com (Jesus Guillermo Andrade) Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2010 00:52:31 -0430 Subject: [texhax] Reset line numbers In-Reply-To: <4B66C914.6060504@e-press.co.ma> References: <4B66C914.6060504@e-press.co.ma> Message-ID: <1D4B16FD-C2FF-45BD-9086-1AE2ABB7A55B@me.com> Dear fellows: I am trying to use lineno.sty in a way that whenever the line numbers reach 64, it automatically resets to 1.

However, I'm not able to build a TOC structure > otherwise. Can you suggest how to do that with paragraph parameters? First, there are three "columns" of specified width, which you must choose. There is the space for the section number, which you have defined as "\ \ \ \ \ \ \ " rather than numerically. Then the width of the title, which you set at 105mm.

As usual, it will be held at the traditional TeXies' and GUST meeting place, Bachotek near Brodnica, in the north-east of Poland, from April 30 until May 4, 2010, inclusive. This time we are especially trying to get-together typographers with programmers and designers of typography systems: "Typographers and programmers: mutual inspirations" Typography, the art of composing signs and graphics into pages and designing signs and graphics is nowadays inadvertently linked with using software. Programmers design and create systems which serve as tools for typographic projects. During this conference we want to get together two groups of people: programmers and designers of typographic systems with typographers and other users of such systems. Share your experiences. Tell others how you are doing it. Let's together look into what programmers can offer to those who create works containing letters and other signs and how programmers can profit from the knowledge and experience of the users of such systems, designers, typographers or creators of web pages. The members of GUST, organizers of the conference, are especially sensitive to typesetting precision, solicitude and dependability, both in creating the tools and using them. We'd like the typographic and programming elegance and solicitude to be reflected in the conference presentations. Especially invited are presentations on: * typographic projects ranging from business cards designs through web pages up to multi-volume books; we are interested is problems encountered, technologies employed, drawbacks of available software, unfulfilled dreams, successes or barriers and obstacles. * designing and creating programs and programming systems aimed and typographic goals: both batch and interactive typesetting systems, client-server realizations, especially such for web sites. * use of typography where programmability is vital: database extracts or combining multimedia and typography. Of course we will gladly accept presentations relating the above with the TeX typesetting system but that is not a requirement for acceptance. Let this meeting of typographers and programmers creating helper systems for typography become a step towards beautiful results! Submissions, deadlines and addresses Proposals (abstracts) should be e-mailed to the Program Committee, which listens at the address of prog-2010 at gust dot org dot pl. Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski (b underscore jackowski at gust dot org dot pl) is the appointed chairman. Also, please note the "Call for TeX Pearls" below. The deadline for abstracts and other proposals is March 28th 2010. The deadline for final papers to appear in the conference materials is April 10th, 2010. The conference web pages, including a registration form, are at the canonical address: http://gust.org.pl/bachotex/2010. Call for TeX Pearls We are continuing the tradition of "The Pearls of TeX Programming". Here is, briefly, what is wanted: * short TeX, MF or MP macro(s) * results must be useful, and the solution not obvious * easy to explain : 10 minutes at most If you have something that fits the bill, please consider submitting a proposal. If you know of somebody's work that does the same, please let us know, and we will contact that person. Other details and previously collected pearls can be found at http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/pearls/. The dedicated email address is: pearls at gust dot org dot pl.

I was playing around a bit with LuaLaTeX (from TeXlive2009) and tried to execute TeX code in a \directlua{tex.print()}. The LuaTeX manual shows the following example (of course without the LaTeX-stuff, only line 3): \documentclass{minimal} \begin{document} before\directlua{tex.sprint("\\relax")tex.sprint(" inbetween")}after \end{document} But if I compile this with lualatex, I get a big heap of errors starting with ! Undefined control sequence. \\ ->\let \reserved at e \relax \let \reserved at f \relax \@ifstar {\let \reserv... l.4 before\directlua{tex.sprint("\\ relax")tex.sprint(" inbetween")}after So ? I don?t understand where the problem comes from and how to interpret these errors. I assume there is a problem that \directlua expands all the TeX code directly and that this might clash anyhow with a \protect. But no idea why this is evil ?

[...] Many thanks to Wolfgang, Barbara and Donald for their help! Wolfgang, I didn't manage to make your code work! It produces `overfull box' errors. Barbara, your macro seems to work fine, but with the same problem I encountered with mine: for some unknown reason, the dots end too early, before the text. Donald, your code seems to do exactly what I want. Just one thing: is there a particular reason why you and Barbara prefer ragged right text for titles? I don't know what I prefer, but: how could your macro be modified in order to have titles fully justified and hyphenation? I saw TOC with titles fully justified and hyphenation in some book.

There is a \relax missing to terminate the \dimexpr: \hsize \dimexpr \hsize - 2 em\relax In this case, you can also do the same directly with the TeX82 primitives, as you say.

Ah, shurely shome confushion :-) In fact, \paragraph is a very rarely used command (it forms the lowest level of the sectioning hierarchy), and the preferred way to separate the end of paragraph $n$ from the beginning of paragraph $n+1$ is indeed a blank line. If you dislike having blank lines in your source file, you /could/ use \par or \endgraf as paragraph separators, but in general one normally uses blank lines for such a purpose.

That would explain why Google wasn't helping me :p I figured that since there were also \section, \subsection and \subsubsection commands for headings, \paragraph{} must have been for enclosing actual text - that'll teach me to jump to conclusions!

In the editor vim, the left and right braces {} allow one to move around between paragraphs defined by blank lines. This lets me scoot precisely around my text. So to switch two paragraphs one simply types "d}}p". Compared to a mouse, that's extremely efficient! Also, I have rigged 'q' to reformat the text of the paragraph, so I get nicely formated text paragraphs (like this one) with little effort. So if you like less typing, you can check out vim. Others may advocate different editors, but I can't tell you what they do with the blank lines. Tom Dr. Thomas D.

Paragraph is one level in a hierarchy: \section{Heading of section} Text of the section. \subsection{Heading of subsection} Text of the subsection. \paragraph{Heading of paragraph} Text of the paragraph. \subparagraph{Heading of subparagraph} Text of the subparagraph. Normally you use line breaks between paragraphs because there is no heading. You also have \part{} and \chapter{} on higher levels. This is explained in any book on LaTeX. /stig On Feb 6, 2010, at 13:57 , George Goodwin wrote: > Hi, > > I've been using TeX a while now, but I've always had the problem that > all text ends up bolded when it's within a \paragraph{} environment > - as > all my text is!

That's really weird! And, no, you don't need an extra package to get it right. Rather, I think some package is interfering with the correct (La)TeX behavior. Try just \documentclass{book} \begin{document} Rodr\'{\i}guez \end{document} and see if it comes out right. If it does, then try adding one by one the packages you use in your document, until you find the culprit.

Message-ID: <60F027FB-D1AB-42F9-969C-FCF60A53D030@gmail.com> I've been working on a tex file recently that makes use of two style files, one of which loads the other. I want to use these style files for other tex files, so this morning I tried putting them some place on my system where they'd be located automatically by my latex installation (I'm using MacTex 2009). I can't be sure, but it seems like as soon as I moved the style files, I started getting the error that LaTeX couldn't find my input file (called "northern.tex" in this case). Not that it couldn't find my style files, but the input file itself. I assumed the error message was borked somehow and continued moving the style files to various places around my system and messing with environment variables. Nothing worked, so I put the style files back in the directory with the input file. Same error. The input file is very obviously there, and not empty, and yet both Auctex via Emacs and the command line say they can't find the input file. I've removed the \usepackage commands and all custom commands from the input file, so it's basically just a standard LaTeX file with nothing but text. Same error with XeTeX and LaTeX.

Message-ID: <4B709016.4060401@gmail.com> I don't want to re-invent the wheel so, even though it seems like a reasonably simple problem, are there extant macros for plain TeX that people recommend for creating a document with endnotes? Preferably, I'd like to have the capability to have multiple sets of endnotes, so that each set can appear at the end of the chapter/section to which that endnote applies. But in a pinch I think it would be OK to have just one set of endnotes for the entire document. Looking around in CTAN didn't bring up any obvious hits (the only package I could find said that it was for LaTeX), but my searching abilities on CTAN are pretty suspect.

Do you mean this http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=endnote The package is in the generic tree and should work with plain.

Hi, don't worry about the glut of info. Your input file is very helpful and it's quite nice that you removed everything which is not needed in order to reproduce the problem. However, I can't reproduce your problem here with TeX Live 2008 and TeX Live 2009. The excerpt of the log file you submitted doesn't indicate any errors. If en error occurs, LaTeX complains loudly. Could you send us the complete log file, please? It's very helpful. BTW, don't be confused by the messages you see in the log file. Let's take the first one of the excerpt as an example. ("C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\latex\graphics\keyval.sty" Package: keyval 1999/03/16 v1.13 key=value parser (DPC) \KV at toks@=\toks14 ) The opening brace at the beginning indicates that a file is opened. It's immediately followed by the name of the file. The closing brace at the end denotes that this file is closed. Everything between the filename and the closing braces are informal messages, unless they explicitly claim that an error occurred. Don't worry about messages like "\KV at toks@=\toks14", even if they sound Chinese or French. A real error message looks like this: ! LaTeX Error: File `elsarticle.cls' not found. I got this message when I tried to compile your file with an ancient version of TeX Live which obviously didn't provide elsarticle.cls. Please send us your complete log file.

The difficulties continue but the error messages keep shifting slightly, and it's driving me crazy. I'm putting aside Emacs/Auctex for the moment and just using the command line. I've stopped with northern.tex and created a tiny test document, bob.tex, which also refuses to compile.

Transcript written on bob.log. Latex and pdflatex compile correctly from the command line, but from within Emacs tell me they can't find the input file. XeTeX and TeX both produce the above error from the command line, and also from within Emacs. I have no idea why the error messages are now slightly different than they were before, it seems to be because I switched from northern.tex to this simpler test document. I know this must be something moronic that I did, but I can't imagine what?

I should have been compiling the document with "xelatex" rather than "xetex", which I didn't realize when I started trying to debug from the command line. The problem isn't with my TeX installation, but rather than Emacs/Auctex seems to be using the "xetex" command to compile the file, even though LaTeX- XeTeX-command is set to "xelatex". At least I have a better sense of where the problem lies! (and am able to keep working while continuing to debug).

Your input file is written in LaTeX, hence you have to run either latex, pdflatex, or xelatex in order to compile it. \documentclass is not defined in plain TeX.

Well, so at least from the command line everything works correctly: "\documentclass" is NOT a valid TeX-command - it's only defined in LaTeX! TeX HAS to claim "Undefined control sequence.".

Planning to use TeX and LaTeX as the typesetter, I am trying to print chapters from volume one. I fed these to PCTeX, the package from Personal TeX, Inc., because it has the Lucida Bright fonts installed; but I ran into an immediate problem. In _The LaTeX Companion_ (2 ed pap 2004), the authors recommend the use of the GEOMETRY package for setting page-layout parameters. I changed the preamble that I had been using to employ GEOMETRY. In asking LaTeX to set the chapters for volume one, however, I bit down on an error in GEOMETRY for which I have no explanation. I have included as an attachment to this message the (rather simple) master module VOLUME1.TEX that brings in all others. One module that it brings in early is VOLM1HDR.TEX (attached), which in turn brings in the package GEOMETRY. I have attached as well the log file (VOLUME1.LOG). I can see no error within VOLM1HDR.TEX in my typing the options for GEOMETRY. Have I omitted a required option? Have I misspelled an option? When I essayed this effort originally, I had not included the INCLUDEHEAD option for GEOMETRY. Against the possibility that this option was required, I added it for the run that I am here documenting; but it made no difference. I got the same error on the same line within GEOMETRY. I employ a package of my own design (SCRIBE) in formatting the text that I am trying to set. SCRIBE expects to see format codes beginning with dots (periods) on the left ends of given lines, in the manner of ROFF. It then generates the corresponding LaTeX commands. Except for references to SCRIBE in the comments to the modules attached, it should make no difference that a SCRIBE run preceded the failing LaTeX run. I would be most appreciative if you could illuminate this problem, or if you could direct me to someone likely to understand this error. GEOMETRY or some page-layout package must execute if I am to start to set the material for the book. I am a member of TUG.

It seems like that ought to be fixed, but I don't have any idea how to go about getting that categorization changed. In any case, it looks far too limited for use in the real world (my very first test failed because it doesn't seem to handle display equations). I'm quite amazed that there isn't some robust standard set of macros for handling endnotes properly in plain TeX. Maybe no one uses plain TeX any more for typesetting books which make use of mathematics. Which would be quite ironic.

I am sure that I did not use any adjustment comend like \! \strut etc. I feel like it might be the case if there is a special comend to type the derivate. It might work out if it is the case.

Message-ID: <4B796CB2.7080306@gmail.com> I am trying to get the \varnothing character to work in a plain TeX file. I have read various things that suggest how to do this, but essentially they all fail the same way: with a "! No room for a new \fam ." message. It seems like fnts.tex uses up a huge chunk of the available \fam table (I'm not sure why, in this day and age, internal table sizes aren't essentially unbounded, but I expect there's a good reason), to the point where trying to add AMS glyphs fails. Is there some way to add this one glyph and still use fnts.tex? And if not, can anyone suggest a way to have both: 1) access to \varnothing; and 2) an alternative to fnts.tex that will occupy less table space and stil allow me easily to change the base font size of text within a document?

I know this very well, had the problem twice recently. I would be happy enough if file names were indented in the .log according to their nesting level. For this, it would suffice to reimplement the primitive \input, such that, e.g., tracing mode could be switched on by a new primitive parameter \tracinginputs. More easily available: \input (LaTeX: \@@input) could be redefined by a package. (I think I should do this within half an hour of hard thinking, the main issue is reading the entire rest of the line, but of course, releasing a package would need several hours.) Alternatively, a LaTeX package could redefine LaTeX's input commands in some consistent way (pass this to the LaTeX Project Team?). In tracing mode, I would just issue an extra line like "TRACING INPUTS: [file name]" with an indent according to the nesting level. The new \input would do this, then step the nesting counter globally before issuing the original primitive \input and re-step it afterwards.

My primary language is SAS; this is an explanation of options used in SAS to get line numbers from included (TeX:input) files. SAS has two options that can be reset within the source file: Source and source2. Their values are Boolean; default for source is on; Default for source2 is nosource2: off. Option source shows all lines in the primary file being processed; Source2 controls whether lines are shown from included files: secondary, ternary, however deep you want to go, etc. TeX has two commands, input and include; The SAS command is %include for TeX input. SAS does not have a conditional like TeX include + includeonly. SAS syntax has two ways of doing the same thing: 1. /* echo all included statements to log */ Options source2; %include 'filename1.ext'; %include 'filename2.ext'; 2. /* echo only named file */ Options nosource2;/* default value */ %include 'filename1.ext' /source2; %include 'filename2.ext';/* not echoed */ Suggestion for TeX implementation: \input{FileName} Extension for debugging: \input[\source2]{FileName} Where a definition of the TeX system-variable source2 could be set either in the preamble or in the body. ... yeah, I know 'source2' contains a digit and is not an appropriate TeX-var-name.

Look at fnts.doc and see which families you can do without. It is to fit all of character+family+class selectors into a 16-bit math code. If you change the size of the math charcter code in TeX then all packages/documents (like AMS) that assign them fail. > Is there some way to add this one glyph and still use fnts.tex?

Are you using sans-serif math characters? If not then you should be able to comment-out three families from fnts.tex.

Oh my God! These guys are really a plague! To think that a scientist has to comply to a parasite that, to start with, doesn't know anything about typography...! Well..., there is a trick: \documentclass[12pt]{book}% \renewcommand{\normalsize}{\fontsize{12.045pt}{14pt}\selectfont} \usepackage{times} \begin{document} This is a test. \end{document} With this, Acrobat identifies the size as exactly 12pt (at least my old Acrobat 6 does). The second argument of fontsize is the leading ---adjust that to the bureaucratic specifications. Best, Axel P.S. I'm not scientist.

Yes, I'm doing this in LaTeX; \[ and \] denote a change to the displaymath environment. I was using the $ to switch back to text mode because the \halign got mangled without it. I realize now that I was missing a closing angle bracket somewhere :): As I understand it, the solution works because \vcenter atomizes its contents as part of the current math list.

There are no Hindi hyphenation patterns in TeX right now. LaTeX prints a list of all supported hyphenation patterns to screen at the beginning of each run. However, there are Hindi hyphenation patterns for OpenOffice: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/smc.git/tree/hyphenation/hyph_hi_IN.dic Since OpenOffice uses the same hyphenation algorithm as TeX (slightly modified), it's likely that you can use them. Maybe someone more experienced with hyphenation patterns can tell you whether they have to be adapted.

There is a \SpecialLabel in a perhaps private file for the seemingly LaTeX 2.09 package "seminar". And these command names look very private, not really part of a public release. Cheers, Uwe.

Message-ID: <4B88F473.3080209@gmx.de> Hi all! Today I compiled a package using gmdocc. That did work fine some time ago. Now it throws the error ! Undefined control sequence. \Gm at showparams ... \Gm at paper \fi ^^J\Gm at checkbool {landscape}twocolumn: \if at ... l.63 \begin{document} Saying \def\Gm at checkbool#1{} in the preamble lets it compile and the sty and pdf are fine then. I was not able to find out which file produces the error (must be something by gm, though). Is this a known bug? As gmdocc was not updated recently: gmdocc.cls 2008/10/08 v0.81 a class for gmdoc driver files (GM) I guess it must be another package interfering at any point. As there were recent problems with beamer + geometry, might there be a problem here, too? I attach a full file list hoping somebody knows this behaviour by chance. If a minimal example is required, I can try to build one but that might take some time.

A simple solution: \newcommand{\intro}[1]{ {\small #1\par} \everypar={{\setbox0=\lastbox}\everypar{}} } (No need for a \newtoks.) Just note that paragraphs immediately following a section title normally can't break after their first line, i.e. if there is no room on the page to accomodate the title plus two lines of text, then everything goes to the top of the next page. This property is transferred to your small text here... but in your case it won't work, unless you add \par immediately after #1, before the closing brace (as I have done above). And if you really don't want a break in the small text itself, then: \newcommand{\intro}[1]{ {\interlinepenalty=10000 \small #1\par} \everypar={{\setbox0=\lastbox}\everypar{}} } And you could even keep the property of avoiding orphans in the first paragraph, but I've the impression that's not what you were asking (I'm talking about it anyway because missing an indentation is not the only characteristics of paragraphs after headings).
