TEXSIS(1) 12 November 1994
TeXsis - TeX macros for Physicists
TeXsis is a collection of TeX macros for typesetting physics
documents such as papers and preprints, conference proceedings, books,
theses, referee reports, letters, and memos. It has predefined layouts
for all of these documents and supports a wide variety of type sizes.
Texsis macros provide automatic numbering of equations, automatic
numbering and formatting of references, double column formats, several
special document layouts, and macros for making tables and figures,
including tables with horizontal and vertical rules.
TeXsis is an extension of "Plain" TeX, so anything you know how to do
in plain TeX you can do in TeXsis. TeXsis macro instructions are simply
abbreviations for often used combinations of control sequences used to
typeset physics documents. For more information about Plain TeX see the
manual entry for "tex", or The TeXbook, by D.E. Knuth.
TeXsis can be stored as a pre-loaded format so that it loads quickly
(see "preloaded formats" in The TeXbook ). To run TeXsis simply give
the command texsis in place of the tex command, i.e.
texsis [ filename ]
where filename.tex is the name of a file containing TeX and/or TeXsis
\controlsequences.
TeXsis is initally in plain TeX mode, e.g. 10pt type and
singlespaced, but the control word \texsis selects 12pt type,
doublespaced, and enables other useful features. Alternatively, \paper
turns on these features and sets things up to typeset a paper, \thesis
does the same for typesetting a thesis, etc... \letter is used to
produce a letter using the macros listed in the back of The TeXbook, and
\memo gives a setup for producing memoranda.
A manual which describes all of the TeXsis macro instructions is
available. It is written in TeXsis, so it serves as its own example of
how to write a document with TeXsis.
Installation instructions are included in this directory in the file
Install.tex, which is written in Plain TeX. See also the file INSTALL.
SOURCE CODE
Source code and documentation for TeXsis can be obtained via
anonymous ftp over the Internet from ftp.texsis.org. The code is
available in different forms depending upon the target machine. The
only difference is how the files are packed, the code is absolutely
the same.
Unix - The files are in the form of shar bundles which have been
compressed with compress(1). Once you have copied them
to your own machine give the command uncompress and then
run each bundle through sh. Alternatively, there is a
shell script called unbundle which will do this for you.
VMS - The files are in the form of DCL .COM files which will unpack
themselves if you run them with the command @TEXSISxx.COM,
where xx is the bundle number.
Mac - The files are bundled into a self-extracting archive (.sea
file), which is compressed with BinHex. When extracted you
will have all of the TeXsis source files in one folder.
Each distribution has a file called MANIFEST in the first bundle which
lists all of the files that should be in the current distribution and a
summary of what they contain (the most important files are also listed
below). Each distribution has a file called INSTALL which will help you
obtain installation instructions.
If you find TeXsis useful you may want to send a short e-mail
message to texsis(at)texsis.org to be put on the mailing list for any
notices of updates or changes.
