Out of curiosity, I +flipped to the front of the volume to see who the editor was. Before +I managed to find this out, I was struck instead by a comment +casually mentioning how widespread use of TeX was in Europe. + +This comment probably would have passed by my attention had I not +read in Bart Childs' column in TUGboat 9(3), "Cathy Booth pointed out +that the attendance at the Exeter meeting was nearly the same as +ours. We have several times as many TUG members in the U.S. and +Canada as there are in Europe." And then a couple pages later, +Barbara Beeton writes, "TeX is accepted in Europe and other areas of +the world even more readily (if possible) than in North America." + +I suspect that Barbara's "if possible" is a bit spurious and that, in +fact, TeX is far more accepted in Europe than it is in North America, +despite a rather blatant US English slant to its typography. + +This issue contains some additional evidence of the truth of that +last statement: notices for TWO (count 'em TWO) European TeX +conferences, and a letter mentioning the existence of a German-only +LaTeX book. The impression that I get from my European colleagues is +that TeX is far more into the "mainstream" in Europe than it is in the +U.S. Clearly, *something* is going right with TeX in Europe. + +But what? + +What is the factor that has led to the wider acceptance of TeX in +Europe? Are there large numbers of European publishers supporting +TeX? Is it TeX's support of accents? Or hyphenation? I'm not even +close to being able to answer any of these questions, but I'd be glad +to hear from my subscribers to find out what you think is responsible +for this state of affairs. + +G'day + +-dh + + + + + + + + + + +__2 +********************************************************************** +* Letters to the Editor * +********************************************************************** + +Date: Fri, 30 Dec 88 23:42:43 est +From: rjchen@phoenix.Princeton.EDU + +As part of the trailer, you have + +>TeXMaG is an independantly published electronic magazine available +>free of charge to all interested parties reachable by electronic +>mail.

Here are some large areas of expertise, each of which could +easily take up all of one person's time. + ++ TeX/LaTeX macro hacking: As with any complex language, the effort of +learning how to write TeX is comparable to learning a conventional +computer language like Modula-2. And as with other language, it does +no good just to spend nights in bed with the TeXbook, one has to get +one's hands dirty. (This will be a lucrative area when publishing +really discovers computerized typesetting. I can see job ads now: +"Must be fluent in C, Pascal, TeX and PostScript.") Mutatis mutandis +for METAFONT, but to lesser extent. + ++ TeX software installation: The effort of maintaining TeX software on +a system is comparable to that of maintaining a compiler and +associated files. Just think of all those macros and style files you +had to install, those times when users came running in with "what does +it mean TeX capacity exceeded." Proof of this is that we have +enterprises selling turnkey pre-configured TeX systems. Obviously some +sites do not have the personnel to worry about such things. + +It is also worth remembering that TeX is a very portable piece of +software running on many diverse machines and no-one can know about +the intricacies of every implementation. + ++ TeX enhancements and software distribution: There are the people who +work on the leading edge, the people who worry about standardizing +\specials, merging in new contributions, etc. Site maintainers are +such people, but there are other industrious souls too. Enhancements +have to be subjected to trial use and comment. + ++ TeX information dissemination: There are the people who document, +collate and publish what has been done. There is the official +TUGBOAT, the TeXHax mailing list, various local lists like UKTeX and +not forgetting TeXMaG. Often, such work involves tangling with ugly +aspects of networking. + +>From this list we can see that there is no way one person or even +one site can have all the answers. TeX is a huge co-operative effort. +You can help by being aware of what's out there, by volunteering help, +by contributing a macro or two or anything at all that will reduce +reinvention of the wheel. + +I hope this limited overview may help you present arguments when +requesting resources to support text processing activities. For many +sites, text processing is a major activity and deserves concommitant +allocation of personnel and materiel. I confidently predict that +text processing will be a major growth area for computer usage. +After all, computers are about information handling and not just +programs or programs to make programs. + + Ken + + + + + + + + + + +__3 +********************************************************************** +* Headlines... * +********************************************************************** + +-> TeXMaG is now officially a bi-monthly.

Here is a + solution that takes care of the environments, too: + +------------------- cut here ----------------------------------------> +% This is PARSKIP.STY by H.Partl, TU Wien, as of 19 Jan 1989. +% Document Style Option to be used with any style and with any size. +% It produces the following Paragraph Layout: +% Zero Parindent and non-zero Parskip.

Of all the typing conventions I have +taught myself to use to deal with TeX, this is the only one I can't +stand. The macros below (hopefully) deal with all italic corrections +by themselves, with the user never needing to think about them again. + +Recall that an italic correction is always added when switching from +italic to roman type, except when the italic type is followed +immediately by a roman period or comma. + +To use the macros, simply type \ital{text} where you would normally +type {\it text}, and similarly for \roman. \slant is like \ital. +These are not \long macros and are meant for text within a paragraph, +so stick to {\it...} for many-paragraph italicization. + +First come the basic definitions. + + \newif\ifcorr\newif\ifnonzero + \newskip\lasts\newdimen\lastk\newcount\lastp + {\lasts 0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt\xdef\zerolasts{\the\lasts}} + +Now come the macros for dealing with italics. Notice the use of +\futurelet to see what token comes after the \ital{...}. These macros +aren't perfect; the worst problem is that they can't really look ahead +to see if a period or a comma will be added next to the text, and they +only see if the next token after the } is a period or a comma. If you +have some other macro or character that should also force the italic +correction to disappear, add \do{\themacroname} to \nocorr. + + \def\ital#1{{\it #1}\begingroup\futurelet\temp\corr} + \def\slant#1{{\sl #1}\begingroup\futurelet\temp\corr} + \def\nocorr{\do{.}\do{,}} + \def\corr{\def\do##1{\ifx\temp##1\corrfalse\fi}\corrtrue\nocorr + \ifcorr\/\fi\endgroup} + +The problem of roman type within italic type is quite different. The +italic correction will always be added at the beginning (if you're +typing \ital{... something\roman{,} ...} then you have a very weird +idea of the logical structure of your document). However, \roman will +almost always be preceded by a space, and maybe even some kerns, +penalties, and other glue; so we must ``unspace'' past these items, +add the italic correction, and put the spaces back. The \roman macro +reflects this; \unspace removes as many glue/kern/penalty items as +possible from the current horizontal list and sets \temp to a control +sequence that dumps all the glue/kern/penalty items right back on. + + \def\roman#1{\begingroup\unspace\/\temp\endgroup{\rm #1}} + \def\unspace{% + \def\temp{}\loop\nonzerofalse + \lasts\lastskip\unskip + \lastk\lastkern\unkern + \lastp\lastpenalty\unpenalty + \edef\thelasts{\the\lasts}% + \ifx\thelasts\zerolasts + \else\edef\temp{\hskip\thelasts\temp}\nonzerotrue\fi + \ifdim\lastk=0pt\else\edef\temp{\kern\the\lastk\temp}\nonzerotrue\fi + \ifnum\lastp=0\else\edef\temp{\penalty\the\lastp\temp}\nonzerotrue\fi + \ifnonzero\repeat} + +\roman (because of \unspace) has many more caveats than \ital and +\slant. As described in the TeXbook, \lastskip and its friends take +the last such item off the current list, returning zero if the last item +is not such an item. This makes it easy for \unspace to keep going back, +removing skips, kerns, and penalties until they are all zero, but it +leads to two problems. The first is that a zero item that you really +put in explicitly (probably for some obscure line-breaking reasons) +will not be passed through to \temp and thus will not be put back. The +second is that if you have a sequence of a few such zero items, \unspace +will stop there and won't get all the way back to where it should. +Furthermore, a whatsit or similar weird item will also stop \unspace. +The solution to the first two problems is to replace \hskip0pt with +\hskip1sp, \kern0pt with \kern1sp, and \penalty0 with \penalty1. Any +DVI program that shows a difference of 1sp doesn't round correctly. + +Does this really eliminate italic corrections? In almost all cases. +If you're typing normal text, interspersed with \ital and \roman and +no weird stuff, all corrections will be inserted when they should. +However, you must be careful not to \write just before a \roman, or +the correction may not show up, and similarly watch out for the +cases mentioned above. + +Future improvements: It would be nice to somehow let \ital figure out +exactly when the next character will be a period or comma, but I can't +find \lookintocrystalball in the TeXbook. Similarly, it seems to be +impossible to determine when a zero skip/kern/penalty is really so. +It would also be a cute trick to unspace past a \write command. + +On a higher level, these macros could be worked into LaTeX's emphasis +environment. Of course, remember that if you define sequences like +\beginit...\endit (no braces), you will lose spaces at the end. Finally, +it is always cleaner to define a \begin...\end sequence than a \it{...} +sequence, because the argument does not have to be read and expanded +twice. + +Please send any comments, improvements, error corrections, etc. to me. + +---Dan Bernstein, bernsten@phoenix.princeton.edu + + + + + + + + + + +__10 +********************************************************************** +* Cumulative index: V1N1-V3N1 * +********************************************************************** + +Addison-Wesley V2N2.8 graphics insertion V2N4.9 + V2N3.2 headlines V1N2.4 + V3N1.2 V1N5.5 +advertising V2N2.1 V1N6.6 + V2N3.1 italic corrections V3N1.9 + V2N4.1 letters V2N4.8 +alltt.sty V2N4.6 outlines V1N7.3 +AmS-TeX V2N2.4 program listings V1N4.2 + IMA document style V2N4.3 resumes V1N3.2 + SIAM document style V2N4.3 V1N6.2 +amstexsiam.sty V2N4.3 side by side pars V1N4.5 +_Another Look at TeX_ V2N6.5 V1N5.2 +\anti V2N1.9 table of contents V1N2.3 +anti.tex V2N1.9 V2N2.1 +Applied Mathematics V2N3.1 + Letters V2N2.4 timelines V1N7.5 +article ideas V1N2.2 weird paragraphs V2N2.1 + V1N5.3 V2N3.1 + V2N2.9 V2N6.8 + V2N3.5 meat, canned V2N3.5 + V2N6.5 MF + V3N1.1 version 1.4 announced V2N4.2 + V3N1.2 version 1.5 announced V2N5.3 +Biblical typesetting V2N3.1 version 1.7 announced V2N6.1 + V2N4.1 V3N1.3 +bibplain.tex V2N1.8 MFware V1N6.5 +BibTeX V2N1.8 microTeX ($\mu$-TeX) V2N3.2 +Bitstream fonts V2N3.9 V2N6.5 +blanks.tex V1N7.2 multihead.tex V1N5.5 +blanks-sample.tex V1N7.2 network services +\bra V1N8.6 DECnet/Span V2N1.2 +\bracket V1N8.6 V2N2.2 +chemsample.tex V2N3.6 V2N3.5 +\citer V2N1.8 LaTeX-Style V1N1.4 +CMS V2N6.2 + program piece V2N3.8 V3N1.3 + V2N4.5 listserv@tamvm1 V2N1.3 +\contentsline V2N3.1 V2N2.3 +CTeX V2N6.5 netlib@anl-mcs.arpa V2N4.3 +CWEB V2N6.5 TeX-L V2N1.3 +\dlap V1N3.4 TeXhax V2N1.3 + V1N6.6 V2N6.4 + V1N7.5 \noalign V1N8.3 +documentation V2N4.1 non-english TeX V2N4.4 + V3N1.2 V2N5.1 +dow.tex V1N5.5 V2N5.6 +\dowcomp V1N5.5 V2N5.7 +drop.doc V2N2.1 V2N5.1 +drop.sty V2N2.1 Arabic V2N2.7 +dropped initial V2N2.1 V2N6.5 +DVI drivers Chinese V2N2.7 + announcements German V2N5.6 + DVIview V1N7.4 V2N5.7 + driver lists V2N2.3 Greek V2N2.7 + V3N1.5 Hebrew V2N2.7 + DVIlaser/HP V2N4.8 V2N3.3 + V2N4.9 V2N6.5 + graphics merging V2N4.9 Icelandic V2N5.8 + standards V1N5.4 Irish V2N5.9 + V2N3.1 Japanese V2N2.7 + V3N1.4 V2N3.7 +DVIlaser/HP V2N4.8 Marathi V2N2.7 + V2N4.9 Russian V2N2.7 +\epigram V2N6.5 Tamil V2N2.7 +eqnarray V1N8.3 Turkish V2N2.7 +European TeX conference V2N1.4 outline.sty V1N7.3 + V3N1.6 outlines V1N7.3 +\EV V1N8.6 parskip.sty V3N1.8 +\fakebold V1N1.3 PC-OUTLINE V1N7.3 +fill in the blanks V1N7.2 PCTeX V2N6.5 +\flathex V2N3.6 PCTeX BBS V1N8.1 +fnote.tex V1N1.3 V2N1.7 +\fnote V1N1.3 physics typesetting V1N8.6 +fonts V2N1.9 + Arabic V2N2.7 PiCTeX V2N3.1 + Bitstream fonts (PC) V2N3.9 plain TeX + Chinese V2N2.7 and BibTeX V2N1.8 + closest size in CMS V2N3.8 and LaTeX V2N6.5 + V2N4.5 intricacies of pars V2N2.1 + Computer Modern V2N3.1 + in PostScript V2N6.5 version 2.92 announced V2N4.2 + re-parameterization V2N4.1 PTI Font Interface pkg.
