+I would like to be able to \cite{Bloggs} and have the full

+can do this? It would be useful for preparing reading lists.

+Subject: double superscript problem
+
+Please, can anyone help me on this one?
+
+I'm in math[s] mode in TeX and want to add a superscript b to \bar a'
+My first attempt was to try
+ $ {\bar a'}^b $
+but TeX complains of a double superscript and effectively substitutes
+ $ {\bar a'}{}^b $
+which I don't want. (The b comes out too low.) The problem is not with the '
+(replacing the ' with
+^c still give a double superscript error) and not that I haven't put in
+enough { } (adding more of them doesn't stop the error message). The problem
+is with the accent. It seems that TeX effectively removes { } around
+any accented subformula. TeX even does this when I try
+ $ {\mathord{\bar a}'}^b $
+
+So how can I get the effect that I want? I can't believe the only method is
+to go into horizontal mode and then math[s] mode again by
+ $ {\hbox{$\bar a$}'}^b $
+(In fact, I suspect that this will put both the ' and the b a little higher
+than I want anyway.)
+If I am wrong, and this IS the only way, can someone please explain to me
+why TeX was designed this way?
+
+Thanks,
+

+The PSTricks package has some experimental tree macros, which you
+can get from the UK TeX archive and from Princeton.EDU:/pub/tvz.
+There is an example of a game tree with non-trivial information
+sets at the end of the documentation.
+
+Sometime this summer PSTricks v0.94 will be available, with the
+tree macros included. The tree macros will be a little different
+and even more powerful, but upgrading should not be difficult.
+The main incompatible change will be that the \psTree macro's
+syntax will be
+
+ \psTree <root> \\ <successors> \endpsTree

+Subject: Merging lists of numbers
+
+There has been an interesting discussion on the literate programming
+list recently about using module numbers or page numbers. (Basically,
+module numbers are easier because they can be generated by the WEAVE
+tool, though page numbers would generally be preferred by most
+people.) I thought it might be interesting to bring this problem to a
+rather wider audience.
+
+Generating page numbers comes down to the following TeX or LaTeX
+problem. Given a macro with a set of numeric arguments, as in say
+
+ \xref{1 2 4 4 6 7 7 7 7 41}
+
+(the arguments of which would be generated by \pagerefs) how easy
+would it be for \xref to generate
+
+ "See pages 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 41."
+
+i.e., the macro has to ignore duplicate arguments (which should be
+already sorted, fortunately) and output "and" before the last number
+in the list. The actual format of the arguments is fairly flexible,
+since they'll be machine-generated.
+
+Neat LaTeX solutions on the back of a e-postcard, please!

+
+Hi,
+
+ Does anyone know of software for HP Unix workstations (commerical
+or otherwise) which will allow a WYSIWIG creation of complex
+mathematical formulae and then output in TeX/LaTeX format?
+ We have seen a demo of a program called MathEditor running
+on a Macintosh which does exactly this and would really appreciate
+getting something similar onto our workstations.
+
+ Thanks in advance,

+Subject: A few LaTeX style files
+
+I've just uploaded a few LaTeX style files for conference proceedings
+etc to ftp.tex.ac.uk. These are currently in the incoming directory
+but will, I hope, soon make their way into the archive proper. The
+style files are:
+
+ieeconf.sty -- style file for conferences organized by the UK's
+ Institution of Electrical Engineers (two-column, A4; some minor
+ local modifications may be required).
+
+ieeeconf.sty -- style file for conferences organized by the IEEE,
+ which includes the International Conferences on Pattern Recognition
+ and many others (two-column, quarto).
+
+rssconf.sty -- style file for the UK's Remote Sensing Society annual
+ conferences (one-column, A4; designed for reduction to A5). (This
+ year's deadline for camera-ready copy is the end of June.)
+
+spie.sty -- modified version of the style file for SPIE conference
+ proceedings (one-column, quarto, lots of wasted paper).
+
+dates.sty -- latest release of my flexible dates package: lets you
+ re-define \today to any format you like, including the weekday.
+ (Now easily customized to non-English languages.)
