The first two are perhaps simple, the last two I am unsure about. FYI I am using +LaTeX2e with emTeX on a PC. + +1) How can I get a permille sign (like a percent sign but with two zeros -- 0/00). I scanned the tables in The Companion and +The Book but don't see it. + +2) How can I get nice in-text fractions? By that I mean not 1/2 which $1/2$ would give you, or \frac{1}{2}, but a fraction +where there is a small 1, a diagonal line and a small 2. (I usually use the Times package and a PS laserprinter). + +3) I have a chapter which is nearly all text with some headings/sub-headings and footnotes. In places, LaTeX has increased +the white space between paragraphs or around sub-headings in order to place a \section at the top of a page. This looks very +ugly and I would rather have a little extra white space at the bottom of the page, than extra white space between paragraphs. + Is there any way I can stop LaTeX adding this extra space? + +4) In another chapter I have a lot of tables and figures. Following advice in The Companion, I often use +\afterpage{\clearpage} to flush out the figures etc. Unfortunately, this occasionally results in a blank page with the header +at the top, and a footnote at the bottom. Any suggestions? + +5) Lastly, later this year I have to produce a set of conference proceedings. Could I have some pointers to classes/packages +and/or articles which would enable me to do this in LaTeX2e. Specifically, including authors names and addresses in paper +titles and the TOC etc. + +Many thanks in advance, + +Kris Lockyear. + + + +------------------------------ + +From: Robin Fairbairns <Robin.Fairbairns@cl.cam.ac.uk> +Date: Thu, 01 Feb 1996 14:36:53 +0000 +Subject: Table of contents, TUGboat 16(2) + +It appears that we (the TUGboat production team) did not post this +table of contents.

A country who founded a brilliant +mathematical school, colonized the Cosmos, and conquered the world +with its literature, music, and ballet. + +So what awaits the TeX user who plans to attend TUG'96? + +At Moscow's international Sheremetevo-2 Airport, conference +participants will be met by a member of the organizing committee and +escorted by bus to Dubna, where from July 28 to August 2, the 17th TUG +conference will take place (see below for more about Dubna). If, for +some reason or another, you envision cold, the taiga, and white bears, +then we can reassure you, Dubna is in the European part of Russia, and +if you want to see the ice on the nordic oceans, you will have to +travel further than you would to reach the subtropics of the Black Sea +shore. Indeed, you will soon find that the pine forest in which the +comfortable town of Dubna is situated will remind you of a park. In +July and August, the weather is mostly warm and sunny, with an average +temperature of 28 degrees Centigrade. Guests will be housed in a +comfortable hotel on the banks of the Volga river in single or double +rooms (hot water, shower, telephone, and television). The Russian +``cuisine'' is characterized by its abundance, so one can forget about +slimming. + +The social program includes a picnic on the picturesque banks of the +Volga, where we will be taken by boat, a bus excursion to Sergiev +Posad (the center of the Russian Orthodox Church, where Andrey +Slephkhin works--- see his article on page 373 of TUGboat 16#4 or the +EuroTeX'95 proceedings page 331), and, on the last day a visit to +Moscow, following which the participants can be dropped of at the +airport to fly home, or at one of the railway stations, if they want +to prolong their visit. + +The conference's preliminary program will be announced as soon as we +receive from you, dear readers, proposals for presentations, courses +that you would like to teach or attend, poster sessions, or any +problem(s) or subject(s) that interest you. Please send your +suggestions to the conference electronic address + +TUG96@pds.jinr.ru +================= + +The theme of the Conference is: PolyTeX, TeX or the art of +multi-lingual, maths and technical typesetting. + + + polyglot polytechnic + + polymath POLY-TeX polymath + + polytechnic polyglot + + +=================== +PROGRAM COMMITTEE +=================== + +Evgeniy Vasilievitch Pankratiev Moscow, Russia + Email: pankrat@shade.msu.ru + +Michel Goossens Geneva, Switzerland + Email: goossens@cern.ch + +Mimi Burbank Florida, USA + Email: mimi@scri.fsu.edu + + +=========== +DEADLINES +=========== + +Submission of abstracts February 20 <<<<<<< + +Acceptance signified to authors February 29 <<<<<<< + +Preliminary articles March 31 <<<<<<< + +Proposals for workshops, demos, + and poster sessions April 20 + +Registration and transfer of a +non-refundable sum of $100 +per person to a Dubna bank May 31 + +Visa supporting information June 5 + +Revised articles June 10 <<<<<<< + +Start of Conference July 28 + + + +====================== +ORGANIZING COMMITTEE +====================== + +Vladimir Vasilievitch Korenkov Dubna, Russia + Email: korenkov@cv.jinr.ru + +Irina Anatolievna Makhovaya Moscow, Russia + Email: irina@mir.msk.su + +Sebastian Rahtz Oxford, UK + Email: s.rahtz@elsevier.co.uk + + +====================== +PRACTICAL INFORMATION +======================= + +- - ---------------- +Conference costs +- - ---------------- + +The Conference Committee foresees a cost in the range 550--600 USD. +This sum includes the complete cost of the conference, namely the +registration fee, lodging (6 nights with six breakfasts, lunches, and +dinners), coffee/tea breaks, social events, and transport from +Sheremetevo Airport to Dubna. The payment should be made in the +following way: a `non-refundable' sum of $100 per person should be +transferred to a bank account (to be announced) before June 1st. +After receipt of that sum an official invitation, necessary for +obtaining a visa (see below), will be faxed to the participant. The +rest will be payable in cash upon arrival at the Conference (no credit +cards or cheques can be used in Dubna). %For participants of +economically weaker countries or for students %we hope to arrange +partial support via sponsors.

Please note that you should apply for a +visa valid for Dubna, Moscow, and Sergiev Posad. (If you plan to visit +other cities in Russia you should obtain the relevant documents and +join them to the visa application, so that the names of all places to +be visited can be entered on the visa form as required.) + +- - -------------- +Transportation +- - -------------- + +The Organizing Committee will arrange direct transportation by bus +from the Sheremetevo-2 Airport to Dubna (130 km north of Moscow). The +Secretariat should be informed of the flight number, precise date and +time of arrival (Moscow time) `no later than' four working days before +a participant wishes to be met at the airport. It is our intention to +have each participant met by a member of Organizing Committee. +Details will be available later. + + +==================== +WELCOME TO DUBNA ! +==================== + +Dubna was founded in 1956 when the Convention establishing the Joint +Institute for Nuclear Research was signed. The town is situated on the +picturesque banks of the Volga river and the Moscow sea 120 km to the +north of Moscow. One can reach Dubna from Moscow within 2 hours going +by car, by bus or by express train. It will take you 1.5 hours to go +to Dubna from the Sheremetevo-2 International Airport. Waterways +connect Dubna not only to the Russian Volga cities, but also to the +waters of the Black, the Caspian, the Baltic and the White seas. + +There is no harmful environmental impact from the industrial plants; +this together with the large tracts of forest in the environs of +Dubna, and the vast water area dotted with small islands, makes the +area quite attractive for tourism and rest. The Volga embankment is +one of the prettiest parts of the town. In springtime, the streets of +Dubna are full of the odour of lilacs, the apple trees are pink-white; +in summer, lime trees, maples, birch trees and poplars make the town +seem totally green; in autumn the town is all golden excepting the +evergreen of old pine trees. The town's modern look harmonizes with +the quietness of the surrounding forest. The town was built in the +midst of a forest. There are separate patches of trees in the town +itself, and the town park is just a part of the forest. It takes just +a few minutes to get to the forest from the shopping centre on foot. A +few minutes' walk and you are outside the city limits! + +Small as it is, Dubna is a real metropolis. It is a scientific +metropolis. It is a ``big little city'', as a visiting American +scientist called it many years ago. Since the foundation of the Joint +Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), the name of Dubna has +constantly been in the pages of the world's newspapers and journals. +Dubna is one of the world centres for fundamental research in nuclear +physics. The Joint Institute plays an important role as a coordinator +of investigations of the scientists from 18 JINR member-state +institutes. Wide international scientific and technical cooperation +is one of the fundamental concepts of the JINR. + +Dubna is indeed a town of international friendship. Foreign speech can +be heard everywhere. But the words, no matter in which language they +are pronounced, are clear to everybody: friendly cooperation and +fraternity unite all the physicists and mathematicians living and +working in Dubna into an international scientific community. + +On October 3, 1994, Dubna opened its doors to its first university, +``International University of Dubna: Nature, Society and Man''. The +university is composed of five "cathedra" or faculties, including +socioeconomic sciences, ecology and earth science, computer education, +linguistics, and health and physical education. Two more faculties--- +law and government and technology--- are also being contemplated. + +The town has great experience in holding international conferences, +and exchanges of delegations between countries in the sphere of +science, education and culture. Dubna and La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA, +are sister cities. Dubna is famous for its hospitality. Famous +scientists, public figures and statesmen from different countries +visit Dubna. They are always impressed by the gracious welcome they +receive in Dubna and warm generosity which Dubna residents +demonstrate. + +======================= +A FEW WORDS ON MOSCOW +======================= + +Moscow, the capital of Russia, has a population of some nine million +people. It is a city rich in cultural, architectural and historical +monuments, and, at the same time, boasts a rapidly developing modern +urban community with brand new blocks of flats, long, straight and +broad avenues, parks, gardens, stadiums, schools, cinemas, department +stores, recreation centres, bridges and highways. Though +forward-looking, it cherishes the memory of its past, and its old +sections lend it a special charm. + + +Michel Goossens / TUG President + + +------------------------------ + +End of TeXhax Digest V96 #3 +*************************** + + +About TeXhax... + +Please send contributions to: TeXhax@tex.ac.uk + +Subscription and unsubscription requests: + send a one line mail message to TeXhax-Request@tex.ac.uk + containing either subscribe texhax + or unsubscribe texhax +If you have problems with un/subscribing, please mail owner-texhax@nott.ac.uk + +To obtain the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) lists for TeX, send a +message with no subject to fileserv@shsu.edu, consisting of +SENDME FAQ + +For information on the TeX Users Group, please send a message to +TUG@TUG.org, or write TeX Users Group, 1850 Union Street, #1637 +San Francisco CA 94123 (phone: 1 415 982 8449, fax: 1 415 982 8559) + +Backnumbers of all the digests are stored in the Comprehensive TeX +Archive Network (CTAN) and can be retrieved on the Internet by +anonymous ftp.
