Supposedly it corresponds closely to what you will +see when you send the same document to a printer, although for various reasons it +does not always do so. In effect, the text is continuously typeset as you key it +in. At first sight this may seem to be a great convenience; on closer inspection +it is a curse. There are three aspects to this. + +\begin{enumerate} + \item The author is distracted from the proper business of composing text, + in favor of making typographical choices in relation to which she may have + no expertise. ``Fiddling with fonts and margins'' when she should be + focusing on content. + + \item The typesetting algorithm employed by WYSIWYG word processor sacrifices + quality to the speed required for the setting and resetting of the user's + input in real time. The final product is greatly inferior to that of a + real typesetting program. + + \item The user of a word processor is under a strong temptation to lose + sight of the logical structuration of the text and to conflate this with + superficial typographical elements. +\end{enumerate} + +\section{Rationale} +Writing business and technical documents requires the authors full attention to +be put on content rather than the above stated issues. \LaTeX\ offers an easy +way out of this trap. However, it is criticized for being to cryptic for day to +day work by computer illiterates. But do we really want the computer illiterates +to dictate the how we write our technical documents? + +The obvious answer is an emphatic \emph{``No!''}. Still, any computer litterate +person needs the speed at which todays word processors operate without loosing +out to the poor quality those processors performs. To this end the Technics Package +was constructed. It provides an advanced typesetting of your technical documents +without your being aware of it. + +\section{Usage} +This sample document serves as a template for all you wanting to use the +Technics package. + +At the very end of this document, i.e., after the \verb+\end{document}+ tag, there +are examples of how to construct professional tables, include graphics as well as +adding a professionally typeset bibliography to your documents. + + +\section{Questions \& Comments} +Questions and comments, even improvement patches (though probably not needed :-), +can be sent to the author at the below address: + +\vspace{1.5cm} +\centering +Joachim Nilsson \url{<crash@vmlinux.org>} + +%\subsection{Key bindings} +%\subsubsection{Key bindings -- WordStar} + +\end{document} + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%% To include a table with three columns complete with borders. +%% ``...in table~\ref{mytable} you can see an example of ...'' +%% +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%%\begin{table}[h] +%%\centering +%%\begin{tabular}{|l|c|l|} +%%\hline +%%\textbf{} & \textbf{} & \textbf{} \\ \hline \hline +%% & & \\ \hline +%% & & \\ \hline +%%\textbf{} & & \\ \hline +%%\hline +%%\end{tabular} +%%\caption{} +%%\label{mytable} +%%\end{table} +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + + + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%% To include a figure. +%% ``...in figure~\ref{lintel-logo} you can see an example of ...'' +%% \begin{figure} +%% \includegraphics{graphics.eps} % Don't forget to \usepackage{graphics} +%% \caption{A parody on Intel's logo.} +%% \label{lintel-logo} % Order *IS* dependent, caption first and THEN label! +%% \end{figure} +%% +%% To reference the figure later (or earlier) in the document you use a +%% simple notation, like this: See figure~\ref{lintel-logo} ... +%% +%%\bibliography{} % Filename of .bib-file. +%%\bibliographystyle{alpha} % +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% +%% .bib-file sample: +%% @book{Lamport-94, +%% author = "Leslie Lamport", +%% title = "{{\LaTeX}: A Document Preparation System}", +%% publisher = "Addison-Wesley", +%% year = 1994} +%% +%% Others: @article, @inproceedings, @techreport, ... +%% Example) +%% Lamport \cite{Lamport-94} is a good book. +%% => Lamport [Lam94] is a good book. +%% +%% To generate: +%% 1. latex template.tex => template.aux +%% 2. bibtex template.bib => Generate references +%% 3. latex template.tex => Includes references in template.aux +%% 4. latex template.tex => Complete template.dvi +%% 5. xdvi template.dvi => View result +%% 6. dvips template.dvi => Printout to local printer. +%% 7. dvi2pdf template.dvi => Generate Portable Document Format +%% +%% Steps 1->3 only neccesary if you have a separate BibTeX file. +%% +%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% + + + |
