Tables also have to be put at the end of the journal, all together, but they are printed with their caption. One way to produce such a format from the one in which the paper will appear is to move all the figures to the end, same for the tables, and move captions accordingly. Does anyone know an easier way, for example using some options in the article style? I use LaTeX2e from the MiKTeX distribution. Thanks, Massimo - ---------------------------------- Massimo Pinto Gray Laboratory C.R.T. pinto@graylab.ac.uk - ---------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 17:34:35 -0800 From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta) Subject: ANNOUNCE: version 22 of xdvi ANNOUNCING xdvi version 22 This is to announce that version 22 of xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files under the X Window System, has been released. It is available via anonymous ftp from the X Consortium ftp site, ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/applications/xdvi-22.tar.gz from CTAN sites ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/dviware/xdvi/xdvi-22.tar.gz and from a mirror site for any of the above. Version 22 of xdvi makes the following changes from version 21: o Support for Motif. o Support for displays with more than one visual, and a -noinstall command line option to disable it. o Support for installing a private colormap (-install command line option). o Configuration via a script generated by a modified GNU autoconf. o An option to select the "x11alpha" driver when using Ghostscript to display PostScript specials. o Dimension arguments may now be given in terms of any of the TeX units (pt, pc, in, bp, cm, mm, dd, cc, or sp). o XDVISIZES values may now be of the form m0, m0.5, etc., signifying magsteps. o Handle rotated bounding boxes correctly when not showing PostScript. o Allow the shrink factor to be automatically selected on the command line. o Change -hushspecials to -warnspecials, and suppress warnings about undefined specials by default. A more detailed list of the changes is available at the xdvi web page, http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html There is also a version of xdvi, called xdvik, that incorporates Karl Berry's kpathsea library for path searching. In addition, xdvik supports hypertex support and support for Omega. Version numbers of xdvik track those of xdvi, and version 22 of xdvik is now also available. It is available from CTAN and mirrors (but not ftp.x.org and mirrors) in /tex-archive/dviware/xdvik.
