%% Ednotes.tex -- \title{\LARGE \bf \textit{ednotes.sty} \\ for critical editions with \LaTeX \\[1ex] \normalfont \Large Lazy \texttt{ASCII}$\to$\texttt{PDF} listings} \author{Uwe L\"uck}%%%\thanks{advised by Christian Tapp.}} \documentclass[10pt]{article} \usepackage{verbatim} \pagestyle{headings} \newcommand*{\cs}[1]{\texttt{\char"5C #1}} \newcommand*{\lcurl}[1]{\[\texttt{CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/#1}\]} \begin{document} \maketitle \section*{Preface} \texttt{ednotes[.sty]} is a macro package or bundle of macro files for scholarly critical editions---typed by U.\,L.\footnote{$\dots$ originally under the direction of Christian Tapp at a research project granted by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).} It is little more than a user interface for combining Stephan~I.\ B\"ottcher's \texttt{lineno.sty} and Alexander~I.~Rozhenko's \texttt{manyfoot}. Recent CTAN policy urges to upload \texttt{PDF} documentation accompanying \TeX\ macro files. % such files % do exist for the underlying \texttt{lineno.sty}--- % \lcurl{lineno.pdf} % (plus a supplementary \texttt{lnosuppl.pdf} there)---and % as % \lcurl{manyfoot.pdf} % plus % \lcurl{nccfoots.pdf} % for the underlying \texttt{manyfoot.sty}\,. % % $\dots$ well, Sorry, a documentation of this kind doesn't exist at present for \texttt{ednotes} $\dots$---I am just offering some ersatz \texttt{PDF} documentation: listings of the \texttt{.sty} files belonging to the \texttt{ednotes} bundle, structured and navigatable through a table of contents. For making use of the options that \texttt{ednotes.sty} provides, it is vital to know the underlying \texttt{lineno.sty}---and its documentation. \texttt{ednotes} just passes \texttt{lineno} commands and options to the latter. So please notice \lcurl{lineno/lineno.pdf} as well as (if you need it) \lcurl{lineno/lnosuppl.pdf\,.} In the same directory, there are other macro files that \texttt{ednotes.sty} may need and whose documentation may be contained in \texttt{lnosuppl.pdf} (in the same pseudo-\texttt{PDF}-style as present). % Sorry, I haven't had the time for making a proper \texttt{PDF} % documentation for the present \texttt{ednotes} bundle. % What I am offering is nothing but a somewhat structured listing % of the additional \texttt{.txt} and \texttt{.sty} files, % deriving from the \texttt{verbatim} package and its % \cs{verbatiminput} command. I hope that the high quality % (scalable) output is worth it. Please don't overlook that \lcurl{lineno/ednotugb.pdf} contains a (printable) \emph{overview} on the facilities of \texttt{ednotes}, as well as a comparison with Peter Wilson's alternative \texttt{ledmac}. % \clearpage \tableofcontents \section{The \texttt{.txt} files} \subsection{First encounter with \texttt{ednotes} on CTAN: \texttt{README}} \verbatiminput{README} \subsection{Adding on installing etc.: \texttt{READMORE.txt}} This is an extended "README" version for learning how to complete your download. \verbatiminput{READMORE.txt} \subsection{What has changed since your earlier downloads: \texttt{CHANGES.txt}} \dots\ lists changes the bundle underwent in a chronolical order. \verbatiminput{CHANGES.txt} \subsection{Advice for installation: \texttt{visible.txt}} Some very down-to-earth advices for real \TeX-newbies: \verbatiminput{visible.txt} \subsection{Really recent? \texttt{CHANGING.txt}} You might consider whether the snapshot (TeXLive most notably) of the \texttt{ednotes} bundle that you have received most recently displays the most recent (and perfect) state of it. \verbatiminput{CHANGING.txt} \section{The main file: \texttt{ednotes.sty}} \verbatiminput{ednotes.sty} \section{Supplementary macro files} \subsection{Tracking page break oscillations: \texttt{lblchng1.sty}} \verbatiminput{lblchng1.sty} \subsection{A lemma repeated in a line: \texttt{edcntwd0.sty}} \verbatiminput{edcntwd0.sty} \subsection{Some \texttt{para}-footnote hack: \texttt{mfparptc.sty}} This deals with a problem that still needs much thinking \dots \par \verbatiminput{mfparptc.sty} \subsection{A reminder of obsoleteness: \texttt{mfparxsp.sty}} This file just tells that some earlier facility dealing with vertical spacing has been superseded by \texttt{manyfoot}'s more recent \cs{ExtraParaSkip}\,. \verbatiminput{mfparxsp.sty} \section{\texttt{varnrule.tex}---customizing footnote rules} \verbatiminput{varnrule.tex} \end{document} end of Ednotes.tex
