After a short project overview, the + major events of 1991 and 1992 are described. Finally the + project plan for 1993 is presented. + + + Project overview The aim of this project is the development of a new + version of LaTeX with the following enhancements. + + * It provides an enhanced user-interface, facilitating + the expression of a large range of typesetting + requirements from fields both within and outside the + natural sciences. This includes the requirements of + technical documentation (offset layout, change bars, + etc.) as well as requirements from humanities + (critical text editions, etc.), many of which are + not supported by the current LaTeX. + * It provides a more robust user-interface. For + example, restrictions on the nesting of commands + will be removed; error handling will be improved. + * It provides a syntax that allows (semi-)automatic + translation from popular SGML DTD's into provided + LaTeX document style options. The new syntax will + include, for example, attribute and short reference + concepts that can be mapped directly into + corresponding SGML features. + * It provides a style-designer interface that allows + easy specification of a wide variety of layouts. + This includes, for example, access to arbitrary font + families. + * The style-design language should be as natural as + possible. It will be based on a hierarchical + collection of generic formatting functions, so that + layouts can be specified by parameters without + involving difficult TeX coding. + * The new interfaces will be described in detail, with + carefully chosen examples, making the learning time + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + for new users (both designers and authors) as short + as possible. + + To achieve this aim it was necessary to review large + parts of the user-interface and to design a complete new + language for style-design. + + One result of this work was to show the necessity of + completely rewriting the kernel of the current LaTeX. + Therefore the project is divided into six partly + overlapping phases. + + + Phase 1: Review and redesign of the user-interface. The + requirements imposed on a typesetting language by + various applications are analysed. This includes the + proposed translation from popular DTD's into the + language of the LaTeX user-interface. + + + Phase 2: Prototype implementation of new concepts. The + new concepts developed in phase one are implemented and + tested. The tests should not only prove that the + concepts are implementable within TeX but also test the + functionality of the concepts. Larger real-life + applications from different fields will show to what + extent the new concepts are suitable and might lead to + some refinements in the design of the user-interface. + + + Phase 3: Design of a designer-interface. This phase is + more or less independent of the first two phases. The + current LaTeX is considered unsatisfactory since it + forces the designer to become deeply involved with TeX's + algorithmic philosophies and these are likely to be + unfamiliar to him. An analysis will be made of the + extent to which it is possible to support a + layout-description language that is natural for a + designer. + + + Phase 4: Prototype implementation of the designer + interface. This is similar to phase two. The concepts + resulting from phase three are implemented in prototype + versions which are used to test the acceptance of the + + 2 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + new designer-interface. In this area implementation + details are relatively uncritical, whereas the + development of the interface might pose difficult + questions since there is no previous research in this + area. + + + Phase 5: Re-implementation of the LaTeX kernel. The + results from phases two and four are combined and a + system kernel that supports both interfaces is + implemented. At this point beta-testing at selected + sites is started. + + + Phase 6: Documentation. While internal documentation is + an integral part of every phase, the main work of phase + six (manuals and conversion) is devoted to the writing + of informative manuals covering both the user- and + designer-interface. + + + Milestones '91 Shortly after the start of the project three important + events took place: a workshop with professionals from + the publishing industry in Dedham, followed by working + week at the American mathematical Society (AMS) in + Providence and later on a meeting with Professor Donald + Knuth in Stockholm. + + In the last quarter of 1991 substantial effort was put + into the development of an internal LaTeX3 programming + language. A prototype kernel, written in a first + approximation to the final language, formatted its own + documentation (a 120 page document) for the first time + in December. + + + Workshop After the annual meeting of the TeX Users Group in + Dedham Dedham (July 91) a two-day workshop was held to discuss + design questions for LaTeX3 with TeX experts, + compositors and other professionals from the publishing + industry. In this workshop (lead by Chris Rowley and + Frank Mittelbach) questions of page layout + specifications and user interface design were discussed. + It was based on material gathered and collated by David + Rhead from previous electronic mail discussions about + + 3 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + these topics on the LaTeX3 discussion list. This + workshop was sponsored by the TeX Users Group. + + + Working week Following this workshop Chris Rowley, Michael Downes + at AMS (AMS), and Frank Mittelbach worked for one week at the + AMS headquarter at Providence on the specifications for + the LaTeX3 error recovery and help system and on some + problems related to the efficiency of TeX's approach to + mathematical typesetting. + + + Paris At the European TeX conference in Paris (September), + conference Chris Rowley and Rainer Schoepf presented an overview of + the enhancements to be made to the user interface. + + + Stockholm In November Frank Mittelbach was invited to Stockholm to + attend the celebrations for the Honorary Doctorate of + Donald Knuth and to give a paper on LaTeX3 at the Nordic + TeX conference. The handouts for this paper were later + published in TeXline [7] and in [9]; later an enlarged + version, co-authored by Chris Rowley, appeared in [14]. + Whilst in Stockholm Frank took the opportunity to + discuss for two days with Donald Knuth design decisions + he had taken in the development of the TeX system. + + + Milestones '92 The last year has seen substantial progress in three + major areas: establishing structures to consolidate + support for LaTeX 2.09 (these structures will therefore + be well tested before they are needed for LaTeX3); + deciding which of the many requirements of a + high-quality document formatting system can be + implemented using TeX as the formatting engine; research + on models of document formatting which support + high-quality typography. These last two are, of course, + closely related and mutually supportive. + + + SGML Users In February Chris Rowley gave a presentation to the + Group inaugural meeting of the UK chapter of the SGML Users + Group. This gave an outline of the project and its + importance to the formatting of documents encoded in + accordance with SGML. + + 4 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + Hamburg At the Dante Meeting in Hamburg (March 92) Frank + Mittelbach presented an overview of the LaTeX3 project; + this was later published as [8]. After the conference a + two day workshop with various TeX and LaTeX experts from + several European countries was held to discuss questions + of the user and style-designer interfaces for LaTeX3. + + + Questionnaire Rolf Lindgren, a student in the field of psychology, + volunteered to develop and analyse a questionnaire on + the subject of site-specific usage, including additions + and changes, of popular extensions to LaTeX 2.09. The + project team hopes that this will provide important data + about such areas as the current usage of LaTeX, which of + these additions are the most important for inclusion in + the main system of LaTeX3, etc. + + A first draft of the questionnaire was handed out to the + participants at the Hamburg meeting and Rolf Lindgren + used the results of this to write a preliminary + report [5] and also to redesign the questionnaire + itself. The final questionnaire will be sent out to a + representative sample of sites in 1993. + + + Lausanne At the Electronic Publishing Conference EP92 in + conference Lausanne, Chris Rowley and Frank Mittelbach gave a paper + about potential problems when trying to produce high + quality output using automated document typesetting + systems [18]. The results presented in this paper were + influenced by their work on the LaTeX3 system. On the + other hand, this basic research into models for document + formatting has direct benefits for the LaTeX3 project + since it leads to the development of useful new concepts + and methods. + + + CERN Frank Mittelbach and Chris Rowley were also invited to + CERN to give a talk about the LaTeX3 system and to + discuss problems encountered in the production of + high-quality output from SGML sources. Addressing such + problems is a major goal of the LaTeX3 project. + + + + + 5 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + Mainz At the end of April Frank Mittelbach invited the core + workshop development team for LaTeX3 to an 11 day workshop in + Mainz to discuss data structures for the kernel and for + the style designer language. This workshop was made + possible through support from the Zentrum fuer + Datenverarbeitung der Universitaet Mainz (providing + working facilities), the AMS (facilitating Michael + Downes attendance), and DANTE, the German TeX Users + Group (help with other expenses). + + The main results of this workshop were summarized in an + internal project paper by Denys Duchier [2]; they are + mainly of a somewhat theoretical nature, e.g., + discussions about what algorithms to use, the nature of + internal interfaces, etc. Some of them are now + implemented in prototypes, others are scheduled for + further work during 1993. + + + Paris meeting In May GUTenberg (the French TeX Users Group) invited + Rainer Schoepf and Frank Mittelbach to a one day meeting + in Paris to discuss various aspects of the LaTeX3 + project. They presented an overview of the user + interface, a summary of the structure of the LaTeX3 + system, the layout specification interface and the + coding of tabular material. They also discussed details + of the LaTeX3 programmer's environment, the short + reference mechanism, the float mechanism, the mark + mechanism, the I/O interface and the error recovery + mechanism. GUTenberg also made a much appreciated + contribution to the project's expenses. + + Later in the year the possibility of a collaboration + between the LaTeX3 project, the University of Mainz and + one or more French institutes was discussed. This + collaboration is now becoming concrete and it is planned + that, in the second half of 1993, French students of + informatique will spend periods of three or more months + in Mainz and assist Frank Mittelbach in the development + of the LaTeX3 system. + + + Macro Together with David Carlisle, Frank Mittelbach developed + validation a system for automatic validation of changes in large + system macro packages [13, 1]. The purpose of this system is to + + 6 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + detect errors introduced by incorrect bug fixes to the + macro packages before such changes are distributed. The + quality of the automated checking system depends largely + on the number of test files in it. It was first tested + with the New Font Selection Scheme (NFSS) package [22] + where it was successful in preventing some mistakes from + getting into the distributed version. + + After this successful test a group of volunteers under + the direction of Daniel Flipo started to write test + files for the LaTeX 2.09 base system; these will improve + the quality of its maintenance. It is intended that they + will also be used as a test base for the user interface + of the LaTeX3 system. + + + New A considerable amount of time during 1992 was devoted to + LaTeX 2.09 reorganizing the distribution and support of the styles + style which have been developed by Rainer Schoepf and Frank + distributions Mittelbach for the LaTeX 2.09 release. A lot of work was + done on the code-documentation package, consisting of + the program docstrip and the style doc. The program + docstrip was reimplemented and enhanced by Johannes + Braams, Denys Duchier and Frank Mittelbach. The + documentation of the doc style was brought up-to-date by + David Love [11]. The array package, which contains an + enhanced reimplementation of the array and tabular + environments of LaTeX 2.09, was improved by the addition + of code written by David Carlisle [12]. Frank Mittelbach + rewrote parts of the multicol package to support \marks + for use in running headings and to allow for up to ten + columns [10]. These packages, and all others, have been + reorganized to make use of the extra features of the new + docstrip program; this will ensure their smooth and easy + installation at every site having a TeX installation. + + + LaTeX 2.09 At the same time, a new system for maintaining the + maintenance LaTeX 2.09 base system was installed at Mainz by Rainer + Schoe pf and the whole base system was transferred to + this site so that it can be maintained by him and Frank + Mittelbach. + + + + + 7 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + BibTeX reim- One of the important programs in the LaTeX system is + plementation BibTeX, a system for managing bibliographical material + and producing bibliographies in documents. At the TeX + Users Group Conference in Cork (1990) Reinhard + Wonneberger and Frank Mittelbach presented a paper + discussing several proposals for a reimplementation of + this program [24]. During the summer Oren Patashnik, the + original author of BibTeX, was contacted to discuss with + him a reimplementation of BibTeX. He agreed to + reimplement this program so that it will interface + smoothly with the new LaTeX system. + + These reimplementation proposals are now being discussed + by a small group of experts and work is under way to + finalize the user interface for providing + bibliographical information in the LaTeX3 system; this + will support the many distinct citation conventions + (author-date system, etc.) that are in common use. In + addition to providing the LaTeX3 system with a + bibliographical system which is also freely available, + it is planned to provide, wherever possible, interfaces + linking LaTeX3 with commercially available bibliographic + software. This will, for example, enable users to + integrate into LaTeX documents information extracted + from large bibliographic databases. Much of the work in + this area is being carried out by David Rhead. + + + TUG annual At the annual meeting of the TeX Users Group in + meeting Portland, Oregon, Chris Rowley gave a talk which + surveyed the current status of the LaTeX3 project [23] + and ran a mini-workshop at which some of the more + technical aspects were discussed. This meeting was + important in establishing the project as being of + central importance to the community of TeX users and + developers and to the future of TeX as a formatter for + high quality typographic output. + + + Volunteer One of the results of the meeting of the core + tasks development team in Mainz was to single out tasks that + could be taken up by volunteers whose work could be to a + large extent independent of the core team. During the + summer, Michael Downes and Frank Mittelbach prepared a + task list and working procedures for such volunteers. + + 8 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + George Greenwade from the Sam Houston State University + kindly agreed to serve as a task list manager; the + Volunteer Task List was therefore presented to the + public at the Prague conference in + September [15, 17, 16]. + + + Prague In September the European TeX conference took place in + conference Prague. Chris Rowley and Frank Mittelbach reported on + the status of the LaTeX3 project and described some + aspects of the formatting model which it will implement. + In a separate presentation they described some results + of their research on more general models for document + formatting. + + + Series During the conference in Prague Frank Mittelbach + agreement concluded with Peter Gordon (Addison-Wesley) publication + agreements concerning the documentation of the LaTeX3 + system and related books. They will appear in a book + series with the tentative title `Tools and Techniques + for Computer Typesetting' under the editorial + supervision of Frank Mittelbach and with the + participation of Leslie Lamport and other key players in + the LaTeX3 project. + + + BCS meeting In September Chris Rowley was invited to give a talk + about LaTeX3 at a meeting on Structured Documentation + organised by the British Computer Society EP Specialist + Group in Nottingham. This contained a brief history and + outline of the project, followed by some discussion of + the requirements of the designer's interface. + + + Working week Leslie Lamport visited Frank Mittelbach for five days in + in Mainz October to discuss the work in progress. They covered + many aspects of the user interface including the + important mechanism for attaching attributes to commands + and environments. + + + + + + + 9 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + Washington During the Lausanne Conference Chris Rowley and Frank + conference Mittelbach had been invited to present further results + of their research on document formatting models at an + international `Workshop on Principles of Document + Processing' in Washington DC, organized by the Xerox + Webster Research Center, Cornell University and Syracuse + University. This talk, which has now been written up for + publication, led to many fruitful discussions. These + covered many aspects of the relationship between their + approach and that of other work on models of document + processing. + + The workshop also showed the need to investigate the + relationship between two types of model: those similar + to that of Mittelbach/Rowley, which are oriented towards + data structures and operations that can be effectively + implemented, and those of a more general nature, which + describe a large range of document processing + applications in terms of formal structures such as + attribute grammars and trees. + + + Bell-Labs During their stay in the US they also visited AT&T Bell + Laboratories, invited by John Hobby, who worked under + Knuth on the TeX project in Stanford. In addition to + giving a talk about their research in document + formatting models and discussing this with researchers + there, they had the opportunity to discuss with Brian + Kernighan his recent work on page-makeup by + post-processing [4]. + + + Multiple As part of the LaTeX3 kernel Frank Mittelbach developed + marks prototype code for multiple independent marks. This + allows information, such as the first or the last index + entry for each column in a multi-column layout, to be + recorded for later use in the final page make-up. Due to + the limited support for such layout structures in TeX, + the current LaTeX only provides a very simple mechanism. + + + Bremen Following the Lausanne conference Frank Mittelbach was + colloquium invited to give a colloquium talk on the subject + `Computereinsatz in der Typographie: Kann die hohe + Qualitaet des Handsatzes durch Computerprogramme + + 10 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + erreicht oder uebertroffen werden?' at the Computer + Science Institute of the Bremen University. During his + two-day visit to Bremen Frank Mittelbach had several + fruitful discussions with the research team working with + Professor Frieder Nake on research problems in computer + controlled typesetting. + + + Meppel In the second half of November Frank Mittelbach was + conference invited to give a talk at the meeting of the Netherlands + TeX Users Group in Meppel. He spoke about possible + directions in research on typesetting problems, + discussing tasks which are impossible to achieve using + state of the art typesetting systems such as TeX. This + talk was based on a paper published in the conference + proceedings of TeX90, [6]. + + + Nordic TeX The Nordic TeX users group invited a representative of + conference the LaTeX3 project to speak at their meeting in + Kobenhavn so Chris Rowley presented a brief history of + the project and discussed several aspects of the + designer interface. He also discussed future + collaboration with other research projects in the area + of document processing. + + + Euromath Chris Rowley has been exploring the relationships + between the LaTeX3 project and the Euromath project. + This latter project was started in 1986 and is aimed at + the production of an integrated system which provides a + homogeneous working environment for mathematicians. It + is based on the Grif structure editor, which provides an + object oriented system and applications programming + interface. Thus LaTeX is their natural, and preferred, + choice of application for the production of + publishing-quality typeset output. + + + alpha-test In the last quarter of 1992 Frank Mittelbach rewrote the + NFSS2 NFSS system (New Font Selection Scheme for + LaTeX [20, 21]), based on a prototype extension to NFSS + written by Mark Purtill in 1991. This reimplementation + extends the released version in several ways including + encoding support (multiple languages), scalable font + + 11 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + support (PostScript fonts) and math font support. In + addition Frank Mittelbach wrote new documentation for + the package, which will appear as a chapter of [3]. The + alpha-testing of the new release was started at the end + of December and the official release is planned for + summer 1993. + + + Error For error recovery a prototype had already been + recovery and implemented early in 1992, as part of the prototype + help system kernel for LaTeX3, but the interface to an interactive + help system existed only as a specification written + during the working week at the AMS in Providence. A + first prototype was implemented by Michael Downes in + December, so that it is now possible to do small field + tests; this implementation is, however, currently only + available as a LaTeX 2.09 style file. It is planned to + reimplement this in the LaTeX3 programming language + during 1993. + + Current status Phase 1: Review and redesign of the user-interface. + There is now enough information about the requirements + to be able to produce a testable version of the + user-interface in the near future. + + + Phase 2: Prototype implementation of new concepts. As + outlined above, several prototype implementations have + been tested during the last year. However, further tests + will be necessary once the user-interface, the design + language and the internal LaTeX3 programming language + are in their final form. + + + Phase 3+4: Design and prototypes of a + designer-interface. The main concepts for the design + interface are now developed and some proto-typing has + already taken place. Nevertheless, this phase of the + project will need considerable additional time as these + concepts are new and thus cannot rely on experience + already gathered. + + + Phase 5: Re-implementation of the LaTeX kernel. As + mentioned above, a prototype version of the LaTeX3 + + 12 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + kernel, written in the current version of the LaTeX3 + programming language, has already been completed. + However, as long as the work on phases 3 and 4 is still + under way, this forms only an approximation to the final + product. + + + Plans for 1993 In the first quarter of 1993 the project team plans + another workshop in Germany to work on the style design + language. + + The core project team will investigate the possibilities + for collaboration with related research and development + projects such as Euromath. They will also establish + contact with the ISO working group on the Document Style + Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL). + + The beta-testing of NFSS2 is planned for March up to May + and the official release of the system is scheduled for + summer 1993. + + The project team will work on a prototype of the + designer-interface. This will lead to testing of this + interface by working with designers to discover how + easily it enables them to realise practical designs. + + It is planned that in the summer a French student will + come to Mainz for three months, to help with the + project's work. + + + Finance There has been a modest but steady flow of contributions + into the project fund set up by the TeX Users Group. + Many of these come from individual members and they are + particularly valued by the project team since, in + addition to their financial significance, they represent + a very high level of personal commitment to the success + of the project amongst the TeX community---much thanks + to everyone involved in these fund-raising efforts, + especially to Alan Hoenig, Doug Henderson and the TUG + office staff. + + The project's finances will also benefit greatly from + the generosity of the authors of the forthcoming book A + LaTeX Companion [3] to be published by Addison-Wesley in + + 13 + + LaTeX3 Project + --------------- + 1993: they are donating 50% of their royalties to the + project. This book will describe the contents and use of + many of the extensions to LaTeX 2.09 which are now + widely available. + + The following institutions have made substantial + contributions to the fund administered by TUG or to the + project directly and we are very glad to acknowledge + them here with thanks: Addison-Wesley, Blue Sky + Research, Dante, GUTenberg, NTG Nederlandstalige TeX + Gegruikersgroep, Nordic TeX Users Group, UK TeX Users + Group. + + The following organisations have also assisted the + project in various ways, including the provision of + books, equipment, software, staff time, etc: AMS, + ArborText, ArchaeoInformatica, Aston University, Blue + Sky Research, CERN, Digital Equipment Corporation, + EDS Electronic Data Systems, Elsevier Science + Publishers, Life Science Communications, Manchester + University, Open University UK, PCTeX, Royal Institute + of Technology Stockholm, Royal Military College of + Science, The Royal Society, TCI Research, Southampton + University, TeX88, Zentrum fuer Datenverarbeitung der + Universitaet Mainz. + + The project is still in need of financial assistance + since demands on the fund are certain to grow + substantially when wide-spread testing begins. + + + References [1] David Carlisle and Frank Mittelbach.
