Covington + Robin Fairbairns + Juergen Spitzmueller + +Current Maintainer: Juergen Spitzmueller +E-mail: juergen (at) spitzmueller (dot) org + +Released under the LaTeX Project Public License v1.3 or later +See http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt +========================================================================= + +== PURPOSE == + +This package, initially a collection of Michael Covington's private macros, provides +numerous minor LaTeX enhancements for linguistics, including multiple diacritics on +the same letter, interlinear glosses (word-by-word translations), Discourse +Representation Structures, and example numbering. + +== CONTENTS == + +The package consists of the following files: + +* covington.sty: the actual package +* covington.tex: the documentation +* README (this file) + +== CHANGES == + +* Version 2.3 (2019-06-21): + - Add preamble option to subexamples environment. + - Allow to use covington together with the drs package. + - Documentation fixes and restructuring. + +* Version 2.2 (2019-06-04): + - Add new option owncounter that makes covington use an own counter for examples + (rather than the equation counter). + - Add starred \exampleno* command that outputs the current example number value + without stepping it. + - Add macros \covexamplefs and \covexamplenofs for global setting of example text + markup. + +* Version 2.1 (2019-05-12): + - Add new option noglossbreaks that tries to prevent page breaks within glosses. + - Add \glosspreamble command and preamble gloss macro option for arbitrary text + preceding glosses. + +* Version 2.0 (2018-12-10): + - Add new gloss macros (\digloss and \trigloss) for a more convenient, + flexible and robust gloss insertion. + - Add \glot command for customizable gloss translation line, + together with customization possibilities. + - Add possibility to customize \sentence font setting. + - Add \lexp, \lcon and \lmean markup macros. + +* Version 1.8 (2018-12-07): + + - Fix font markup of second gloss line (do not force rm). + - Add possibility to customize gloss line font setting. + - Add possibility to customize example number display. + +* Version 1.7 (2018-09-08): + + - Fix alignment in subexamples. + - Improve manual. + +* Version 1.6 (2018-09-07): + + - Introduce new environment subexamples for sub-examples such as 1a. + - Introduce new command \pxref that outputs references to examples including + parentheses. + +* Version 1.5 (2018-08-24): + + - Introduce new option "keeplayout" that allows to opt-out the + layout presettings covington does (\raggedbottom, \textfloatsep). + +* Version 1.4 (2017-05-23): + + - Introduce a new macro \twodias that supersedes the rather odd \twoacc + (which is kept for backwards compatibility). + + - Introduce macro \SetDiaOffset for more convenient setting of vertical + distance in stacked diacritics. + + - LaTeX 2.09 is no longer officially supported (it might continue to work, + but is not tested). + + - Documentation file converted to un*x line endings. + +* Version 1.3 (2017-04-05): + + - Gloss variants \xgll and \xglll that work inside macros (such as footnotes) + but require explicit gloss line end markers (\xgle). + + - Provide way to globally alter indentation and vertical distance of reflists + (new lengths \reflistindent, \reflistparsep and \reflistitemsep). + +* Version 1.2 (2016-08-26): + + - New length \examplenumbersep to adjust (increase) the horizontal space + between example number and example text. + + - Add some more info about bibliography generation. + +* Version 1.1a (2016-07-07): + + - Fix encoding problem in documentation and some typos. No change in functionality. + +* Version 1.1 (2016-07-06): + + - The package now uses NFSS font commands if available (fallback for LaTeX 2.09 + is still provided). + + - Work around clash with classes/packages that define their own example and + examples environments (most notably the beamer class) as well as execise + environments. The covington package no longer blindly attempts to define + these environments. By default, it does not define them if they are already + defined (covington's own environments, however, are still available via aliases). + By means of a new package option, a redefinition can also be forced. + + - New length \twoaccsep allows for the adjustment of the distance between stacked + accents. + + - Update manual. + + - New maintainer: J. Spitzmueller. + + - License has been changed to LPPL (in agreement with M. Covington). + + - Introduce version numbers. Arbitrarily, we start with 1.1. |
