\noindent This is a list of all substantial corrections made to {\sl Computers
\& Typesetting\/} since the beginning of 2014.
(More precisely, it lists errors corrected
since the 19th printing of Volume~A, the 9th printing
of Volume~B, the 8th printing of Volume~C, the 6th printing of Volume~D,
and the 7th printing of Volume~E. % 2012 for A-D, 2013 for E
But it omits changes that are ``purely cosmetic.'')
Corrections made to the softcover version of {\sl The \TeX book\/},
beginning with its 32nd printing, are
the same as corrections to Volume~A\null. Corrections to the softcover
version of {\sl The \slMF\kern1ptbook}, beginning with its 11th printing,
are the same as corrections to Volume~C\null. Changes to the mini-indexes
and master indexes of Volumes B, D, and~E are not shown here unless they are
not obviously derivable from what has been shown. Some (or all) of these
errors have been corrected in the most recent printings.

\ddanger If you say \.{\char`\\vadjust\char`\{}$\langle\,$vertical
mode material$\,\rangle$\.{\char`\}} within a
paragraph, \TeX\ will use internal vertical mode to insert the specified
material into the vertical
list that encloses the paragraph, immediately after whatever line
contained the position of the \.{\char`\\vadjust}. For example, you can say
`\.{\char`\\vadjust\char`\{\char`\\kern1pt\char`\}}'
to increase the amount of space between lines of a
paragraph if those lines would otherwise come out too close together.  \ (The
\vadjust{\kern1pt}author
did that in the current line, just to illustrate what happens.) \ Also,
if you want to make sure that a page break will occur immediately after a
certain line, you can say `\.{\char`\\vadjust\char`\{\char`\\eject\char`\}}'
anywhere in that line.

\.{\char`\\count255}, \.{\char`\\dimen255}, \.{\char`\\skip255},
\.{\char`\\muskip255}, and \.{\char`\\toks255} are
traditionally kept available for such purposes.  Furthermore, plain \TeX\
reserves \.{\char`\\dimen0} to \.{\char`\\dimen9},
\.{\char`\\skip0} to \.{\char`\\skip9}, \.{\char`\\muskip0} to
\.{\char`\\muskip9}, and \.{\char`\\box0} to \.{\char`\\box9}
for ``scratchwork''; these registers
are never allocated by the \.{\char`\\new...}\null\ operations.  We have seen that
\.{\char`\\count0} through \.{\char`\\count9} are special,
and \.{\char`\\box255} also turns out to
be special; so those registers should be avoided unless you know what you
are doing.

dividual symbols; \.{\char`\\left}$\,\ldots\,$\.{\char`\\right}
constructions are treated as ``inner'' subformulas, which means that
they will be surrounded by additional space in certain circumstances.
All other subformulas are generally treated as ordinary symbols,
whether they are formed by \.{\char`\\overline} or
\.{\char`\\hbox} or \.{\char`\\vcenter} or
by simply being enclosed in braces. Thus, \.{\char`\\mathord} isn't really
a necessary part of the \TeX\ language; instead of typing
`\.{\char`\$1\char`\\mathord,234\char`\$}' you can get the same
effect from `\.{\char`\$1\char`\{,\char`\}234\char`\$}'.

Only two tabs are set in this case, because only two \.{\char`\&}'s

A \<disc text> has the form
`\<filler>\.{\char`\{}\<horizontal mode material>\.{\char`\}}',
where the material is processed in restricted horizontal mode and
should contain only fixed-width things.
More precisely, the horizontal list formed by each
\<disc text> must consist only of characters, ligatures,
kerns, boxes, and rules; there should be no glue or penalty items, etc.
This command appends a discretionary item to the current list; see
Chapter~14 for the meaning of a discretionary item. The space factor is
not changed.

the brace has category~1 and isn't a legal \<delim>.
Allowing brace delimiters would be a bad idea because it would
mess up other constructions, such as arguments to macros, and
components of alignments. Moreover, a user who
gets away with `\.{\char`\\left\char`\{}'
is likely to try also `\.{\char`\\bigl\char`\{}', which
fails miserably.

Braces are used for grouping, when supplying
arguments to macros; so they cannot also be used as math delimiters, or as
arguments to macros such as \.{\char`\\big}. (One could change their catcodes

\.{\char`\\count255}, \.{\char`\\dimen255}, \.{\char`\\skip255},
\.{\char`\\toks255}, and \.{\char`\\muskip255}
are freely available in the same way.
\ (3)~All assignments to the scratch registers whose numbers are
1,~3, 5, 7, and~9 should be \.{\char`\\global}; all assignments to the
other scratch registers (0,~2, 4, 6, 8,~255) should be non-\.{\char`\\global}.
\ (This prevents the phenomenon of ``save stack buildup'' discussed
in Chapter~27.)
\ (4)~Furthermore, it's possible to
use any register in a group, if you ensure that \TeX's grouping
mechanism will restore the register when you're done with the group, and
if you are certain that other macros will not make global assignments
to that register when you need it. \ (5)~But when a register is used
by several macros, or over long spans of time, it should be allocated
by \.{\char`\\newcount}, \.{\char`\\newdimen}, \.{\char`\\newbox},
etc. \ (6)~Similar remarks
apply to input/output streams used by \.{\char`\\read} and \.{\char`\\write},
to math families used by \.{\char`\\fam}, to sets of hyphenation rules used by
\.{\char`\\language}, and to insertions (which require
\.{\char`\\box}, \.{\char`\\count}, \.{\char`\\dimen},
and \.{\char`\\skip} registers all having the

\ (With plain \MF's {\bf beginchar} each
character has a ``bounding box'' that runs from $(0,h)$
at the upper left and $(w,h)$ at the upper right to $(0,-d)$ and~$(w,-d)$
at the lower left and lower right; variable $d$ represents the depth of
the type. The values of $w$, $h$, and~$d$ might change from character to
character, since the individual pieces of type need not have the same size
in a computer-produced font.)
