Munson asks why \part in the standard report style invokes +\markboth{}{}, which wipes out a "Draft" header that a user was trying to +place on every page of a document produced with "ucthesis", which is based +on "report". + +The answer is obvious if viewed in the right context: In the "headings" page- +style, you really want this, since otherwise any chapter/section information +left over from the previous part might "leak over" into the new part - if, for +example, there is some information about the new part before a \chapter is +issued. The \markboth has no effect if the pagestyle is "plain" or "empty". + +Support for the "myheadings" style, which the user is presumably trying to +use, is somewhat shakey. There are a number of places in the standard styles, +mainly having to do with sectioning, in which the code just assumes that it +can play around with the headings and the page style as it wishes. This is +one of them. (Note that \chapter, \section, and \subsection also change the +page marks. This is done through a level of indirection using the \XXXmark +commands, which are no-ops in "myheadings". There should have been a +\partmark command defined and used the same way....) + +One quick hack solution would be to define "\setdraft" (or whatever you want +to call it) as "\markboth{Draft}{Draft}\def\markboth#1#2{}". + + -- Jerry + +------------------------------ + +Date: Sat, 17 Jul 1993 11:53:35 -0500 +From: robinson@atax.eng.uab.edu (John M.

There +will be a new, standardised version of LaTeX (working name: LaTeX2e) +being released before the end of 1993. Not much has been said about +the new features; the perhaps most important point was that support +for PostScript fonts will be built in. + +The text below was converted automatically from LaTeX source format +into plain text by the dvidoc processor. + + + PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD + + + LaTeX2e -- A New Version of LaTeX + + Leslie Lamport and the LaTeX3 project team + + July 27, 1993 + + + +1 Reasons For LaTeX2e + +There are two primary reasons for introducing a new version of +LaTeX: + + * Standardisation: a single format incorporating NFSS2, to + replace present multiplicity of incompatible formats (NFSS, + lfonts, pslfonts, etc.) + + * Maintenance: a standardised system is essential to a + reliable maintenance policy. + +Note that LaTeX2e is only a ``working name''---thus this may +change. + + +2 Guiding Principles + +The following two guiding principles are to be followed: + + I Unmodified version 2.09 input files will produce the same + output with LaTeX2e as with version 2.09. + + II All new features of LaTeX2e will conform to the conventions + of version 2.09, making it as easy as possible for current + users to learn to use them. + + +3 Preamble Commands + +In order to distinguish old (2.09) documents from those using +facilities from the new version, LaTeX2e documents will use a +different command on the first line. + +\documentclass[options]{class} + + The \documentclass command specifies what kind of document +this is---for example, article, book, letter, slide. + +\includepackage[options]{package} + + Including a package adds new commands and/or redefines +existing commands to provide additional functionality. + +\documentstyle[options,dvidoc]{style} + + Invokes the LaTeX2.09 compatibility mode. + + +4 Documentation + +The new version will be described in a new edition of LaTeX: +A document preparation system by Leslie Lamport and in The +LaTeX Companion by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin (both to be +published by Addison-Wesley). The Companion will also contain a +complete description of NFSS2. + + +5 Distribution Policy + +Maintenace of the new system will be undertaken by the LaTeX3 +project team. + A complete distribution of all files, incorporating +corrections of errors, will be made available twice a year on +fixed dates. This will happen even if there were no changes to +the files, and hence only the release dates have to be updated. + We are currently looking into the possibility of additionally +distributing diff files. + +6 Error Reports + +Error reports can be made using a report generating program +latexbug.tex. This will be part of the main distribution. + Error reports will be accepted only if the version of LaTeX2e +that produces the error is not older than one year. Error +reports can be sent to the following mail address: + + latex-bugs@rus.uni-stuttgart.de + +or a postal address that is to be announced. + + + Rainer Schoepf + Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum + fuer Informationstechnik Berlin + Heilbronner Strasse 10 + D-10711 Berlin + Federal Republic of Germany + <Schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.de> or <Schoepf@sc.ZIB-Berlin.d400.de> + +------------------------------ + +Date: Wed, 04 Aug 1993 19:54:56 +0700 +From: Joachim Lammarsch <X92@vm.hd-net.uni-heidelberg.de> +Subject: TeX Users Group Election + +Dear TUG members, + +the terms of all 15 members of the first elected Board of Directors +will expire on December 31, 1993.

Election of the directors shall be by written +mail ballot of the entire membership, carried out in accordance with +those same Procedures. Each director will hold office for a term of +three (3) years. Directors may be re-elected for successive terms.'' + +The name of any member may be placed in nomination for election to +this office by submission of a petition, signed by two other current +(1993) members, to the TUG office by the announced deadline. A +petition form is attached; additional forms may be obtained from the +TUG office. + +Along with a petition form, each candidate is asked to supply a +passport-size photograph, a short biography, and a statement of intent +to be included with the ballot; the biography and statement of intent +together may not exceed 400 words. + +The deadline for receipt at the TUG office of petitions and ballot +information is September 1, 1993. + +For this election only, the lengths of some terms will be altered +so that not all members of the Board are replaced at the same time, +but only one-third. For Board members elected this year, all terms +will begin January 1, 1994. Five members of the new Board will +have terms that end with the 1995 annual meeting, five with the 1996 +annual meeting, and five with the 1997 annual meeting. Thereafter, +all new terms will be for three years, from annual meeting to annual +meeting. All positions will be elected this year on the same basis, +and the members of each of the three groups chosen by lot by the +ballot counter. + +Ballots will be mailed to all members about 30 days after the close +of nominations. Marked ballots must be received no more than 6 weeks +following the mailing; the exact date will be noted on the ballots. + +Ballots will be counted by a disinterested party not part of the TUG +organization.
