# Short Description The `nameauth` package automates the correct formatting and indexing of names for professional writing. This aids the use of a name authority and the editing process without needing to retype name references. # Files |Filename |Description | |--------------|---------------------------------------| |`nameauth.dtx`|commented style file; source file | |`Makefile` |For use with GNU make; with source file| |`nameauth.ins`|installation driver (generated file) | |`nameauth.sty`|style file (generated file) | |`nameauth.pdf`|Documentation (generated file) | |`README.md` |This file (generated file) | |`examples.tex`|example macros (generated file) | # Obtaining the Package 1. Packaged in your current TeX distrbution: See the appropriate documentation. 2. Otherwise, download `nameauth.zip` from [CTAN](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth.zip). 3. Unpack `nameauth.zip` in an appropriate directory. 4. Change to the directory containing the `nameauth` files. # File Generation ## Automatic Installation This method requires GNU `make` on a POSIX-compliant environment, such as GNU/Linux, various BSD flavors, perhaps MacOS (e.g., with various porting systems), and even Cygwin on Windows. * We use the LaTeX installation on the host machine to build the package. When using `make`, any `dvi` files that are created will also be converted to `pdf` format. 1. Type `make` to generate the release files using `pdflatex`. 2. To use another LaTeX engine, type one of the following: make ENGINE=xelatex make ENGINE=lualatex make ENGINE=dvilualatex make ENGINE=latex 3. Type `make inst` to install the files in the user's personal TDS-compliant directory tree. 4. Type `sudo make install` to install the files in the system-wide, local TDS-compliant directory tree. 5. One can include multiple make targets on the command line, but that goes beyond the scope of this document and is intended for experienced users. ## Manual Compilation Otherwise, the following steps are used for manual installation. See the general information at the [TeX FAQ](https://www.texfaq.org/FAQ-installthings). 1. To build the package on the host system, generate the installation files and a copy of the documentation without the table of contents and cross-references. We use `pdflatex` by default: pdflatex --shell-escape --recorder --interaction=batchmode nameauth.dtx 2. This will generate the following files: nameauth.ins (complete) nameauth.sty (complete) nameauth.pdf (incomplete; do steps 3 through 5) README.md (complete) examples.tex (complete) 3. Generate the TOC and cross-references for the documentation: pdflatex --recorder --interaction=nonstopmode nameauth.dtx 4. Generate the index files using `makeindex`: makeindex -q -s gglo.ist -o nameauth.gls nameauth.glo makeindex -q -s gind.ist -o nameauth.ind nameauth.idx 5. Integrate the glossary (changes) and index into the documentation. The second run updates the TOC: pdflatex --recorder --interaction=nonstopmode nameauth.dtx pdflatex --recorder --interaction=nonstopmode nameauth.dtx One can substitute, e.g., `xelatex`, `lualatex`, `dvilualatex`, and `latex`, for `pdflatex`, but the documentation may look different in some cases. ## Manual File Installation Different TeX distributions have somewhat different ways to store TDS-compliant configuration and package data. See, for example, [MikTeX](https://miktex.org/kb/texmf-roots) and the [TeX FAQ](https://www.texfaq.org/FAQ-privinst). Two approaches below conform generally to a Unix-based system: ## User's Home Directory `TEXMFHOME` is a variable that points to the root of a TDS-compliant directory tree available to a user. Use `kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFHOME` to obtain its value. Quite often it is equivalent to `$HOME/texmf`. The dollar sign in front of the variable denotes the value of the variable instead of its name. So if `$HOME` is `/home/bob`, then `$TEXMFHOME` would be `/home/bob/texmf`, and we can understand the following paths to be under that directory: |Path |Description | |----------------------------------|----------------------------------------| |`$TEXMFHOME/source/latex/nameauth`|`ins` and `dtx` files, Makefile | |`$TEXMFHOME/tex/latex/nameauth` |`sty` file | |`$TEXMFHOME/doc/latex/nameauth` |`pdf` file, `README.md`, `examples.tex` | On older TeX distributions, run `mktexlsr` on $TEXMFHOME to complete the install process. ## System-Wide Directory `TEXMFLOCAL` is a variable that points to the root of a TDS-compliant directory tree available to all users on a local site, system-wide installation. Use `kpsewhich --var-value TEXMFLOCAL` to obtain its value. See the [TeX FAQ](https://www.texfaq.org/FAQ-what-TDS). We can understand the following paths to be under that directory: |Path |Description | |-----------------------------------|----------------------------------------| |`$TEXMFLOCAL/source/latex/nameauth`|`ins` and `dtx` files, Makefile | |`$TEXMFLOCAL/tex/latex/nameauth` |`sty` file | |`$TEXMFLOCAL/doc/latex/nameauth` |`pdf` file, `README.md`, `examples.tex` | Run `mktexlsr` with the appropriate permissions on `$TEXMFLOCAL` to complete the install process. # Testing ## Compiling `examples.tex` 1. Either go to the directory used when unpacking the `zip` file or copy the file `examples.tex` from the `doc/latex/nameauth` branch of whatever TDS-compliant tree to a directory of your choice. 2. If one has access to GNU `make`, use either `Makefile` in the directory where one unpacked the `zip` file or copy `Makefile` from either `src/latex/nameauth` or `doc/latex/nameauth` in whatever TDS-compliant tree it exists. When using `make`, any `dvi` files that are created will also be converted to `pdf` format. 3. To compile the test file using `make` and `pdflatex`, simply type `make testing`. 4. For multi-format testing using `make` in addition to that above, one can do the following: make testing ENGINE=pdflatex make testing ENGINE=latex make testing ENGINE=lualatex make testing ENGINE=dvilualatex make testing ENGINE=xelatex 5. If one does not have `make`, one can use the following commands, substituting, e.g., `latex`, `xelatex`, `lualatex`, and `dvilualatex` for `pdflatex`: pdflatex --interaction=nonstopmode examples pdflatex --interaction=nonstopmode examples makeindex -o examples.ind examples.idx makeindex -o examples.rnd examples.rdx pdflatex --interaction=nonstopmode examples pdflatex --interaction=nonstopmode examples The use of different extensions for the index results from using the `index` package to generate a persons index separate from a subject index. The manual is also a test suite. # Copyright Copyright (C) 2021 by Charles P.
