We explain how to + update your Ednotes installation accordingly. Optional + "patches", enhancements etc. that earlier had to be called by + loading separate files explicitly (mandatory arguments of + \usepackage) are now called by ednotes.sty package options + (optional arguments in \usepackage[<opt>]{ednotes}). New PDF + documentations/instructions have appeared. + + +* Contents of this file: * + + LN/MF_edn.zip -- ednotes/lineno/manyfoot/further changes -- + updating procedure -- new documentations + + + +* Some files you may have received: * + + You may have received (by e-mail from us, e.g.) a distribution + containing files + + LN_edn.zip + MF_edn.zip + + They serve two purposes: + + 1. They contain the files README and CHANGES that reside in the + CTAN directories `[...]/lineno' and `[...]/ncctools' (from + which manyfoot.sty stems). In order to avoid that README and + CHANGES files overwrite each other, unzip them into separate + directories, and into another one than the README file (for + ednotes.sty) that you should have received as a plain text + file. + + 2. LEGAL, IMPORTANT: + + The files README, manyfoot.dtx, and nccfoots.dtx contained in + MF_edn.zip are, by their copyright holder Alexander Rozhenko, + demanded to ACCOMPANY any (re)DISTRIBUTION of manyfoot.sty + and nccfoots.sty! + + +* ednotes.sty changes: * + + 1. ednotes.sty version 1.0 has new package options `edtable', + `longtable', `nolongtablepatch', `edmacpara', + `countoccurrences', and `mathnotes' for handling "patch" or + enhancement etc. files. None of these files should be loaded + through the mandatory argument of \usepackage any more. E.g., + instead of \usepackage{edtable}, you now type + + \usepackage[edtable,<further options>]{ednotes} . + + (So -- one advantage aimed at -- you must no longer worry + about the correct order of loading extension packages.) + + 2. The above-mentioned option `nolongtablepatch' changes earlier + behaviour with respect to our longtable.sty patch file + ltabptch.sty, in avoiding an error message that otherwise + appears when ltabptch.sty is not present. This is convenient + when you deliberately want to avoid the patch. The error + message ensures that vertical spacing around a "longtable" + does not depend on the local TeX installation -- e.g., when + you send your source to a journal. + + 3. ednotes.sty has a new option `perpage' for making use of the + manyfoot.sty option `perpage' -- just see the Manyfoot + documentation for what it does. It requires perpage.sty, + which is available from [CTAN]/macros/latex/contrib/misc. + + +* lineno.sty changes: * + + 1. The new version 4.1 of lineno.sty makes former extension + files linenox0.sty, linenox1.sty, and lnopatch.sty obsolete. + Don't load them any more! (We have installed a reminder for + the case that you don't obey this rule.) + + 2. \firstlinenumber has slightly changed from its earlier + behaviour given by lnopatch.sty. See lineno.sty/tex/pdf. + + +* manyfoot.sty changes: * + + The new version 1.7 of manyfoot.sty provides a command + \ExtraParaSkip to replace our earlier \MFparaxbuffer. + (See the new ednotes.sty documentation to recall + \MFparaxbuffer -- search for `\ExtraParaSkip', e.g.) + This makes former extension file mfparxsp.sty obsolete. + Please replace \MFparaxbuffer by \ExtraParaSkip and don't + load mfparxsp.sty any more! For your earlier documents that + contain \usepackage{mfparxsp}, we offer a new version of + mfparxsp.sty which just reminds you of the change and + ("for this time") redirects your \MFparaxbuffer to + \ExtraParaSkip. You may as well just delete your copy of + mfparxsp.sty, if you are sure, e.g., that you won't anymore + compile a .tex containing \MFparaxbuffer and + \usepackage{mfparaxbuffer}. + + +* Further corresponding changes: * + + Extension files that still are used -- now required by the new + ednotes.sty package options -- have been changed at least with + respect to explanations that they contain. + + +* UPDATING: * + + 1. (Mandatory:) overwrite your copies of + + edcntwd0.sty + ednmath0.sty + ednotes.sty + edtable.sty + lineno.sty + manyfoot.sty + mfparptc.sty + + with the new versions. + + 2. Overwrite + + mfparxsp.sty + + by our new "reminder" version, or just remove it from TeX's + searching scope -- as you like, recall `manyfoot.sty changes' + avove. + + 3. You may remove (from TeX's searching scope) linenox0.sty, + linenox1.sty, lnopatch.sty -- but they won't harm otherwise; + you will get an error message if you load one of them + inadvertently. + + +* New documentation/instructions: * + + 1. An article on ednotes.sty is appearing in TUGboat vol. 24. + It describes the main commands and functions of Ednotes. + Moreover, it compares Ednotes to EDMAC and LEDMAC, two other + TeX macro packages for critical edition typesetting. + We provide a version of the article very near to the final + one as + + tb77lueck.pdf . + + (it is definitively not the final version.) + + 2. The README for ednotes.sty has been rewritten very much and + may yield new insights. Detailed explanations addressing + non-TeXperts have been added. + + 3. lineno.tex has been updated according to the changes of + lineno.sty, of course. A pdflatex outcome + + lineno.pdf + + is available ([CTAN]/macros/latex/contrib/lineno/lineno.pdf). + + A pdflatex outcome + + ulineno.pdf + + of the user's guide ulineno.tex is available as well. + It only deals with lineno.sty version 3.1, but will though + be helpful (I think). + + Recall that lineno.sty offers many commands to control the + style of the marginal line numbers, so its documentation is + an essential contribution to ednotes.sty documentation. + + 4. Version 1.7 of manyfoot.sty is generated from the + corresponding version of + + manyfoot.dtx + + which is the TeX source for the documentation of + manyfoot.sty. Recently, the pdflatex output + + manyfoot.pdf + + has been added to CTAN directory ncctools. These two files + may be less essential for ednotes.sty users than + (u)lineno.tex/pdf. However, manyfoot.sty offers features + that you may find interesting: (i) customize rules between + footnote layers; (ii) \SplitNote (for paragraphed footnotes + at page breaks). (For nccfoots.sty, which manyfoot.sty + requires, there are nccfoots.dtx/pdf as well.) + + +Good Luck! + + +[End of README4U] |
