This document is the result. + +My involvement with \LaTeX\ 3.0 \cite{lamport-86,m+s-89} started early +in +1990 when I heard Chris Rowley announce that opinions were invited about +the facilities that should be provided in the new \LaTeX. Accordingly, +I submitted a \lq\lq wish list'', and have since submitted various +additional ideas. + +The present document is an attempt to put these wishes etc.\ together in +one place. It has been put together in a hurry from various sources. +Generally the main text is based on older material than the appendices: +you may find inconsistencies of detail that I haven't had time to +resolve. +(Frank only gave me two weeks notice!) I've included some extracts from +e-mail in which people were making comments about similar topics. (My +\lq\lq extracting algorithm'' has been an uneasy compromise between +thinking that I shouldn't confine the document to my own views, and +wondering whether people would want remarks they made in one context +reproduced in another context. I apologise to anyone whose views I've +omitted/included when I should have included/omitted them.) I realize +that the result is over-long and repetitive, but I don't have time to +think how to cut it down and re-organise it. + +In my case, most \lq\lq wishes'' are just particular cases of general +wish \lq\lq that \LaTeX\ would make it easy to produce documents that +conform to the conventions that are usual in traditional publishing'', +since most of the end-users who tell me \lq\lq I don't like the way +\LaTeX\ does this'' are, I think, really saying \lq\lq I'd just like +\LaTeX\ to do things like normal publishers do them'' (either because +they want to pass the result on to a publisher, or simply because +traditional conventions \lq\lq look right'' to them). + +I've generally tried to determine \lq\lq traditional publishing +practice'' by consulting the manuals to which a publisher's +copy-editors, designers, and typesetting staff might refer. I assume +that the {\it Chicago Manual of Style} \cite{chicago-82}, Butcher's {\it + Copy-editing}, \cite{butcher-81}, McLean's {\it Manual of Typography} + \cite{mclean-80}, +Williamson's {\it Methods of Book Design} \cite{williamson-83} and +Hart's {\it Rules} \cite{hart-83} are representative of such manuals. +Since I assume that \LaTeX\ is, and always will be, intended for +producing formally structured documents rather than for implementing +\lq\lq grid-based designs'', I presume that it is unrealistic to try to +support more than a selection of the features described in books (such +as \cite{miles-87} and \cite{white-88}) that are aimed at the \lq\lq +design for desktop publishing'' market. However, the classes of +document that are of interest to the Text Encoding Initiative +\cite{tei-90} seem similar to the classes for which \LaTeX\ is intended, +so I assume that the Initiative's views on structure are relevant +(although their objectives are broader than just typesetting). + +I'm very aware that it's easier \lq\lq to wish'' than \lq\lq to grant +wishes''. + + +%------------------- end preface ------------ + + + +\cleardoublepage + +\pagenumbering{arabic} + +\include{l3d002a} % {main-text} + +\appendix +\include{l3d002b} % {structure} +\include{l3d002c} % {counts} +\include{l3d002d} % {widethings} +\include{l3d002e} % {citing} +\include{l3d002f} % {standard} +\include{l3d002g} % {chemistry} + +\include{l3d002h} % {references} + +\end{document} -- cgit v1.2.3
