-\title{An introduction to the Dutch \LaTeX\ styles}
-\author{Victor Eijkhout}
-\date{3 September 1989}
-\maketitle
-
-\section{Background}
-
-The Dutch \LaTeX\ styles are an attempt to provide
-\LaTeX\ users with facilities of the standard distribution
-styles `article' and `report',
-but coupled to typography that is geared towards Dutch usage.
-In order to ensure interchangeability, the new styles
-implemented the commands of the distribution styles.
-In principle, then, no manual for these styles would be needed.
-There are a few points, however, that can't go without
-comment.
-
-Table 1 lists all files connected with the Dutch styles.
-These files can be found on the {\tt tex-nl} fileserver
-on the {\tt hearn} node of Bitnet/Earn.
-Not all of them are necessary, the ones with extension {\tt .tex}
-contain just blah.
-
-Remark: there exists a Dutch version of `letter', which is so
-specifically Dutch that I decided not to include it in this list.

-\section{Languages}
-
-These styles have been developed bearing in mind suggestions
-of Hubert Partl for making the language of styles switchable.
-Thus, on their own these styles will produce English captions
-like `chapter' and `table of contents', but specifying
-the options `dutch' or `german', or any language option
-that follows the directions of Partl, will switch these
-to the language of the option.
-
-
-\section{Design}
-
-At the moment there are styles compatible with `article' and
-with `report'. The Dutch names for these are `artikel'
-and `rapport'. In contrast to the standard styles, however,
-the user can now choose from different visual designs.
-Names of the styles are formed by appending their number
-to the name, for instance `rapport3'.
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Design one is meant to be a universally acceptable style.
-It has been kept as uncontroversial as possible.
-Under heavy protests of the implementer (me) the one
-point that has turned out to be controversial, the table
-of contents, has been made subject to a switch that can
-restore the old \LaTeX\ layout. Explanation of this follows.
-\item Design two will probably never be heavily used. It is
-more something of a heroic attempt to be different. At the
-moment only available in `artikel' form.
-\item Design three meets the wishes of people who like
-a zero \verb.\parindent. and a positive \verb.\parskip..
-As just setting these parameters within for instance `artikel1'
-will give some unwanted side effects, I~decided to repair
-these in a separate style.
-\end{enumerate}
-Credits for the visual design go to one real-life designer
-and a couple of books by designers I consulted.
-The full story can be found elsewhere.
-
-\subsection{User options}
-
-As was mentioned above, the new layout of the table
-of contents has turned out to be somewhat controversial.
-So, in order to ensure wider acceptance of these styles
-I~have incorporated a switch that will restore the
-old layout. Just specify the {\tt oldtoc} option.
-This is available in designs 1 and~3. Number~2 really
-insists on being different.
-
-I~do no page sizing, so kindly use an option like {\tt a4}.
-There is a nice one on the server, which is not the one
-by John Pavel.
-
-\subsection{Option files}
-
-Like in the standard styles there exist option files for
-$10/11/12$ point layout. Until now, however, I~have
-managed to get away with using the same option files
-for both the `artikel' `rapport', and `boek' styles.
-The option files then have to have some neutral
-names. Which are at the moment {\tt ntg10}, {\tt ntg11},
-and~{\tt ntg12}. `NTG', of course, stands for Nederlandse
-\TeX\ Gebruikersgroep, i.e., Dutch \TeX\ Users Group.
-
-When doing the `rapport' styles, I~needed to modify
-the `titlpage' option file. Thus there is a Dutch
-version of that, bearing the name of `voorwerk'
-(literal translation: `frontwork').
-Probably the majority of Dutch \LaTeX\ users
-don't even know that this is the correct term.
-You're never too old to learn.
