Christian Tapp, Pittsburgh (USA) - http://www.contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu - -====================+=====+=======++=======+=====+==================== - -CONTENTs of the present file: - - Purpose -- recent changes -- RIGHTS -- installing `ednotes' -- - learning about `ednotes' -- standalone packages -- contact us -- - newsletter -- glossary - -PURPOSE of the macros: - - Here are macros for typesetting CRITICAL EDITIONS with LaTeX. - Packages `lineno' by Stephan I. B"ottcher, `manyfoot' by Alexander - I. Rozhenko, and `longtable' by David Carlisle are enhanced and - combined. -- For a few first informations, you may have a look at - http://ednotes.sty.de.vu. - -** RECENT CHANGES: ** - - If you have used `ednotes' earlier than September 2004, we urge you - to read the `CHANGES' file in the `ednotes' directory, especially - concerning the changes of September/October 2004. `ednotes', - `lineno', and `manyfoot' have been changed at one time and interact - differently than before. Some files have been removed, and former - extension packages are now automatically loaded on `ednotes' package - options. - -RIGHTs: - - For COPYRIGHTs as well as conditions of use (NO WARRANTY), - MODIFYING, and (RE)DISTRIBUTION, please see inside the files - mentioned in the present `README' file, as well as - `README-lineno.txt' and `README-ncctools.txt'. Usually, the LaTeX - Project Public License applies, a recent version of which can be - found on - - http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt - - Any REDISTRIBUTION of `ednotes.sty' must contain the present - `README' file. - - If you DISTRIBUTE `manyfoot.sty' and `nccfoots.sty', they must be - accompanied by `manyfoot.dtx', `nccfoots.dtx', and - `README-ncctools.txt'. - -INSTALLATION of `ednotes': - - For enabling yourself to make use of all the options that - `ednotes' provides, download - - edcntwd0.sty - ednmath0.sty - ednotes.sty - edtable.sty - lineno.sty - ltabptch.sty - manyfoot.sty - mfparptc.sty - nccfoots.sty - perpage.sty - vplref.sty - - from - - http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ednotes - - (e.g., cf. `CTAN' in the glossary). Note that clicking on - "entire directory" suffices. - - Moreover, you may need - - longtable.sty - - from the LaTeX Tools Bundle -- you should have it already with your - LaTeX distribution. - - You then have to make the .sty files listed above "visible" - (see the glossary below) to (La)TeX when it runs your job. - - (You may find out through reading documentations that it partially - depends on your intentions which .sty files actually must be there. - E.g., `ednotes.sty' works already when it is accompanied by - `lineno.sty', `manyfoot.sty', and `nccfoots.sty'.) - -USAGE of `ednotes': - - We recommend not to load (by \usepackage) .sty files other than - `ednotes.sty' (except for "standalone uses" as explained below). - They are handled through `ednotes' package options as explained - in the documentation. - - Sorry, the "user guide" and documentation for `ednotes' is, at - present, scattered over the listed .sty files and over the listed - CTAN folders. Here is just a guide through files and folders to - increase your knowledge step by step: - - 0. Oh, recently some of these explanations have been collected - in ednotes.pdf -- .txt input with .pdf output. - - 1. An overview of `ednotes' has appeared in TUGboat vol. 24. - no. 2; the above `ednotes' directory of CTAN contains an - updated .pdf version `ednotugb.pdf' of it. It demonstrates - through some examples what output certain commands produce. - It also compares `ednotes' with two other (La)TeX packages - for critical edition typesetting. - - 2. Next (or even first) we recommend reading the explanations at - the beginning of `ednotes.sty'. - - 3. You may find references to .sty files from the `ednotes' and - the `lineno' folder for reading about additional details of - usage. - - 4. `lineno.sty' provides commands and options that are very useful - to know for creating critical editions by `ednotes'. You can - read about these commands and options in `lineno.sty'. - Moreover, the explanations from `lineno.sty' can be printed - through `lineno.tex' or `lineno.pdf' obtainable from the above - `ednotes' directory. You find there as well an attempt at a - user's guide for `lineno' -- `ulineno.tex' and `ulineno.pdf'. - The latter is not quite up to date, but it may be helpful - though. -- When you use `ednotes', don't believe what the - `lineno' documentation tells about, e.g., - - \usepackage[edtable]{lineno} - - (such statements address usage of `lineno' without `ednotes'). - Many package options of `ednotes.sty' are just passed to - `lineno.sty', so the `lineno' documentation is `ednotes' - documentation in this respect. - - 5. `manyfoot' is another essential module for making `ednotes' - work, though you may hardly need to know about it, `ednotes' - is a kind of user interface for `manyfoot'. However, you may - inform yourself about offers of `manyfoot' for certain fine - points of critical edition typesetting through `manyfoot.dtx' - or `manyfoot.pdf' -- which you find in - - http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools - - (e.g., cf. `CTAN' in the glossary). There are `nccfoots.dtx' - and `nccfoots.pdf' as well. Indeed you may find functions of - `manyfoot' useful just for your commentary passages. - - 6. `perpage.sty' is mentioned here mainly to allow use of - `manyfoot's `perpage' option. It contains brief explanations. - - 7. `longtable', of course, is explained in `longtable.dtx' and - various guides for LaTeX. - - 8. We have prepared something for listing line numbers for index - terms. We don't take the time to integrate it here -- please - contact us (see below) if you are interested. - -Standalone files: - - Some of the listed .sty files which are our work may be useful - without using `ednotes': - - 1. Whenever you use `manyfoot', you can load `mfparptc.sty' after - `manyfoot.sty' just to modify the behaviour of `manyfoot' in - the way that is explained in `mfparptc.sty'. - - Moreover, there is a file `mfparxsp.sty', made for the - possibility that some `manyfoot' user has used an earlier - version of `mfparxsp.sty' which has become obsolete. - - 2. For extending lineno.sty by packages from here, see - - http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/lineno - - (e.g., cf. `CTAN' in the glossary). - - 3. `ltabptch.sty', a patch for `longtable', can be used whenever - `longtable' is used. - - 4. An additional file `lblchng1.sty' deals with page break - oscillations, by code as well as by explanations and - discussion. It can be used entirely independently from - any of the packages mentioned before. - -CONTACT us: - - We would be happy about your suggestions and (in a way) about your - bug reports. Since documentation is so poor at present, please feel - free to ask us for help if needed. Please contact us via - - http://www.contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu - - (Note: in TeX terms, the names in the file heading are `L\"uck' - and `G\"ottingen.) - -NEWSLETTER: - - E.g., you may ask us to take your e-mail address into a mailing - list for reporting `ednotes' changes. - -Lucky typesetting! - -______________________________________________________________________ - -GLOSSARY: - -* `CTAN' - abbreviates `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network', cf., e.g., - - http://www.ctan.org - - and read about "mirrors" there. You will understand that you - may replace `www.ctan.org/tex-archive' by `www.dante.de/CTAN' - (e.g.) in the above-mentioned URL.
