+MEXINFO.ENG: a brief description of the MeX 1.05 package, 18 December 1993
+small changes in documentations: 8 November 1997
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+What is MeX?
+============
+
+MeX is a software package for TeX and METAFONT.
+TeX is a typesetting system and METAFONT is a program for typeface
+design, both developed by professor Donald E. Knuth.
+
+Most users of TeX use it with PLAIN TeX and LaTeX macro packages.
+(Macro packages are also called ``formats''.)
+MeX is an adaptation of PLAIN TeX and LaTeX (v.209) formats to the
+Polish language and to the Polish printing customs.
+
+MeX consists of:
+
+ -- a set of fonts containing Polish diacritical characters and
+ extra quotation marks (a complete set of METAFONT sources);
+ -- hyphenation rules for the Polish language;
+ -- TeX macro files, called MeX and LaMeX, providing necessary
+ tools for typesetting in Polish (the files are included
+ in the source form).
+
+Since MeX was developed chiefly for native Poles to typeset text
+written in the Polish tongue (thus for the people able to understand
+Polish documentation) this is rather a short description of the MeX
+package, meant for particularly curious TeXers and METAFONTers.
+The ultimate documentation, as always, are the source files.

+
+The history of MeX
+==================
+
+The MeX package has been developed in MacroSoft Ltd, Warsaw, Poland.
+
+The previous version of the adaptation of TeX to the Polish language was
+called LeX. It contained a macro file and P1 family of fonts, and was
+developed by BJ & MR between November 1987 and December 1989.
+MeX is a modification of LeX adjusting it to the TeX 3.x conventions.
+
+The LeX format made use of a set of hyphenation rules originally created
+by HK in 1987, adapted to the LeX format and extensively modified by BJ & MR.
+
+The following modifications to the LeX package and hyphenation rules
+were done while BJ, HK & MR were employed in MacroSoft Ltd:
+
+ -- the hyphenation rules were further improved and adapted to the TeX 3.x
+ requirements by HK in July--August 1991,
+
+ -- transformation from LeX, version 1.75, to MeX, version 1.01, macro files
+ and from P1 to PL, version 1.01 fonts were done by BJ & MR
+ during the period October 1991--February 1992.
+
+The authors are grateful to MacroSoft Ltd for providing the opportunity
+to carry out this work.
+
+Major changes after the 1.01 release of MeX
+===========================================
+
+Version 1.03, 18 December 1992:
+ -- incorrect behaviour of \notin and related macros eliminated
+ (sorry for this error -- BJ & MR);
+ -- added macros \emulateplain and \emulateLaTeX for emulating
+ formats plain and LaTeX209 within MeX and LaMeX formats, respectively;
+ -- discretization of some Polish characters improved;
+ -- the order of inputting files in METAFONT programs changed
+ so that the format file CM.BAS is no longer needed;
+ -- a few negligible changes introduced, mainly in comments.
+
+Version 1.05, 18 December 1993:
+ -- next bug (sorry again -- BJ & MR) eliminated:
+ category codes of several characters corrected;
+ -- MFJ files placed along with other emTeX files;
+ GPLMODES.MFJ adjusted to new versions of Eberhard Mates's drivers;
+ other METAFONT files remained intact;
+ -- the MeX distribution files are no longer packed;
+ the LHa program is no longer included.
+
+PL fonts
+========
+The PL fonts were primarly designed for use with the MeX and LaMeX formats
+(Polish versions of the PLAIN and LaTeX209 macro files). Nowadays PL fonts
+can also be used with `PLaTeX' package (CTAN:/language/polish/platex-1.0.zip)
+that provides tools to typeset documents in Polish using LaTeX2e.
+
+ 1. The Polish diacritical letters and quotation marks
+ -----------------------------------------------------
+
+ There are nine diacritical letters in the Polish language (altogether
+ with majuscules---eighteen):
+
+ a with ogonek
+ c with acute accent
+ e with ogonek
+ l with cross
+ n with acute accent
+ o with acute accent
+ s with acute accent
+ z with acute accent
+ z with dot accent
+
+ Moreover, the Polish opening quotation mark is like the English
+ closing one, but shifted to a baseline (like two commas, `,,');
+ additionally, in case of nested quotations, French quotation marks
+ (`<<' and `>>') are used in Polish.
+
+ 2. The PL layout
+ ----------------
+
+ The Polish fonts (PL) are extension of Computer Modern
+ fonts (CM), i.e., characters 0--127 are identical in PL and CM,
+ while the Polish characters and Polish and French quotation marks
+ are placed in higher ASCII positions, namely:
+
+ A with ogonek -- 129 a with ogonek -- 161
+ C with acute accent -- 130 c with acute accent -- 162
+ E with ogonek -- 134 e with ogonek -- 166
+ L with cross -- 138 l with cross -- 170
+ N with acute accent -- 139 n with acute accent -- 171
+ O with acute accent -- 211 o with acute accent -- 243
+ S with acute accent -- 145 s with acute accent -- 177
+ Z with acute accent -- 153 z with acute accent -- 185
+ Z with dot accent -- 155 z with dot accent -- 187
+
+ << (French opening quotes) -- 174
+ >> (French opening quotes) -- 175
+ ,, (Polish opening quotes) -- 255
+
+ Note that the Polish diacritical letters have the codes of the Extended
+ CM layout (Cork encoding).
+
+ 3. A few remarks on the design of the PL fonts
+ ----------------------------------------------
+
+ a) The METAFONT programs for letters and for the Polish opening quotes
+ are based on the respective CM programs; we decided not to
+ exploit a sneaky way of reading CM programs twice (or reading them
+ and storing) and modifying `extra_beginchar' and `extra_endchar',
+ or so, as we found such an aproach to be inconsistent with
+ the general philosophy of the Computer Modern font family design
+ (although see, e.g., the program for SS in the CSC font).
+
+ b) Unlike the CM parametric files, the PL ones do not contain lists
+ of parameter assignments. Instead, a CM driver file is input
+ while processing the corresponding PL driver.
+
+ c) The quotation marks are accessible via ligatures (,, << >>).
+ The Polish diacritical letters can be accessed either directly or
+ using an active prefix character (slash)---see the description of
+ the format MeX. No ligatures are used to form the Polish diacritical
+ characters. There are good reasons for doing so.
+
+ d) Since the Polish diacritical letters are not meant to be used as
+ math variables, they are not `math_adjusted'.
+
+ e) METAFONT doesn't allow for more than 16 different heights per font;
+ because of this limitation the upper half of the ASCII table is
+ deliberately left almost empty.
+
+ In spite of that an additional height introduced by accented
+ majuscules may cause an automatic adjustation of the remaining
+ heights, and it may happen that, e.g., `x_height' will be changed.
+ This makes the full compatibility between PL and CM fonts rather
+ impossible; let's hope that such incompatible situations will occur
+ very rarely.
+
+ f) An attempt was made to avoid introducing extra parameters; in some
+ cases, however, such extra (optional) parameters may prove to be
+ necessary for the final tunig. All optional parameters are described
+ in the file PL_DOD.MF (an additional file for PL fonts; in fact,
+ a base format). Examples of use of optional parameters can be found
+ in the following files:
+ PLB10, PLBX5, PLBX6, PLBX7, PLBX8, PLCSC10, PLDUNH10, PLFI10, PLFF10,
+ PLITT10, PLR5, PLR6, PLR7, PLR8, PLR9, PLR12, PLR17, PLSL8, PLSL9,
+ PLSL12, PLSSQ8, PLSSQI8, PLTCSC10, PLTI7, PLTI8, PLTI12, and PLVTT10.
+
+ g) PLSY fonts include alternative less-or-equal and greater-or-equal
+ signs (like AMSTeX `\leqslant' and `\geqslant'), used in Polish math
+ texts; this extension was suggested by Mr. W\l{}odzimierz J. Martin.
+
+ h) PLMI, PLMIB and PLTEX fonts are renamed (for uniformness) CMMI, CMMIB
+ and CMTEX fonts. The latter one reflects the layout of the keyboard
+ of the computer used by D. E. Knuth (D. E. Knuth, ``Computer Modern
+ Typefaces,'' p. 568); it is unlikely that Polish characters were
+ present there.
+
+ i) The design of the Polish diacritical characters in fonts PLR, PLBX,
+ PLTT, PLSS, PLTI and PLSSBX was consulted with Mr. Roman Tomaszewski,
+ the President of the Polish Division of ATypI (Association Typographique
+ Internationale).
+
+ The authors are extremally grateful to him for his advices and for
+ the time he devoted to the problem of the Polish version of CM fonts.
+
+ Mr. Roman Tomaszewski died in December 1993.
+
+ j) D. E. Knuth encourages users to generate their own fonts: ``Many
+ more variations (bold and/or slanted and/or sans-serif) could be
+ tried.'' he says (``Computer Modern Typefaces'', p. 30). The authors
+ of the PL fonts share rather the Roman Tomaszewski's opinion, that one
+ should be very, very careful in following this advice.
+
+ 4. A few remarks on the design of the Polish diacritical characters
+ -------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ a) The accents over minuscules are very similar to the accents
+ that can be obtained using TeX's acute accent (\') operation;
+ accents over majuscules, however, are rotated a bit (if serifs)
+ or flattened a bit (if not serifs); exceptionally, in the extremely
+ slim PLDUNH10 font accents over majuscules are not sloped.
+
+ b) The dot accent over `z' and `Z' is like a dot over the letter `i'.
+ The dot accent put by TeX's command `\.' is a bit different, which
+ does not look nice in Polish words like `gwi\.zd\.ze' (eng. whistles).
+
+ c) The cross for the polish `l' and `L' is longer and thicker (for `L'
+ is bigger than for `l') than the standard CM's cross (TeX commands
+ `\l' and `\L').
+
+ d) The programs for the Polish opening quotes are based on the CM's
+ closing quotes; the French quotation marks are designed from scratch.
+
+ e) The geometry of an ogonek is very simple: its outer and inner edges
+ are single B\`ezier segments. The algorithm of computing the control
+ points for the B\`ezier curves, however, is admittedly sophisticated.
+ This is due to the fact that a wide spectrum of different ogonek shapes
+ is in fact to be programmed: one shape is needed for caps, another for
+ `a' with ogonek, yet another for `e' with ogonek, as they all have
+ different joins. Moreover, a sansserif ogonek differs significantly
+ from the serif one, a bold ogonek from a non-bold, an ogonek for hefty
+ fonts should still be different. And, if you take into account that
+ the basic font unit |u| may change during one session of font
+ generation (monospace and caps-small-caps) and that a few different
+ pens may be used to draw a single letter you'll understand why
+ so many |if| ... |else:| ... |fi| commands are used in the ogonek
+ program.
+
+ f) Implicit kerns are mostly the same for the Polish diacritical letters
+ as for the respective Latin ones; although, there are a few exceptions
+ (see the files POLAN.MF, POLKUR.MF and POLKAP.MF). The same concerns
+ the italic correction inserted after the Polish characters.
+
+ 5. METAFONT sources
+ -------------------
+ The MeX package contains the following METAFONT sources (it is assumed
+ that the user has the complete set of CM sources):
+
+ a) Files describing the Polish diacritical characters:
+
+ PL_CUD.MF PL_DOD.MF PL_MLK.MF
+ PL_DL.MF PL_ML.MF PL_SYM.MF
+
+ b) Driver files:
+
+ POLAN.MF -- corresponding to ROMAN.MF
+ POLKAP.MF -- corresponding to CSC.MF
+ POLKUR.MF -- corresponding to TEXTIT.MF
+ POLMAT.MF -- corresponding to MATHSY.MF
+ POLTYT.MF -- corresponding to TITLE.MF
+
+ c) Parametric files:
+
+ PLBSY10.MF PLMI10.MF PLSSBI36.MF PLSY5.MF
+ PLBXSL10.MF PLMI12.MF PLSSBI48.MF PLSY6.MF
+ PLBXTI10.MF PLMI5.MF PLSSBX10.MF PLSY7.MF
+ PLBX10.MF PLMI6.MF PLSSBX36.MF PLSY8.MF
+ PLBX12.MF PLMI7.MF PLSSBX48.MF PLSY9.MF
+ PLBX5.MF PLMI8.MF PLSSDC10.MF PLTCSC10.MF
+ PLBX6.MF PLMI9.MF PLSSDC40.MF PLTEX10.MF
+ PLBX7.MF PLR10.MF PLSSI10.MF PLTEX8.MF
+ PLBX8.MF PLR12.MF PLSSI12.MF PLTEX9.MF
+ PLBX9.MF PLR17.MF PLSSI17.MF PLTI10.MF
+ PLB10.MF PLR5.MF PLSSI8.MF PLTI12.MF
+ PLCSC10.MF PLR6.MF PLSSI9.MF PLTI7.MF
+ PLDUNH10.MF PLR7.MF PLSSQI8.MF PLTI8.MF
+ PLEX10.MF PLR8.MF PLSSQ8.MF PLTI9.MF
+ PLEX9.MF PLR9.MF PLSS10.MF PLTT10.MF
+ PLFF10.MF PLSLTT10.MF PLSS12.MF PLTT12.MF
+ PLFIB8.MF PLSL10.MF PLSS17.MF PLTT8.MF
+ PLFI10.MF PLSL12.MF PLSS8.MF PLTT9.MF
+ PLINCH.MF PLSL8.MF PLSS9.MF PLU10.MF
+ PLITT10.MF PLSL9.MF PLSY10.MF PLVTT10.MF
+ PLMIB10.MF PLSSBI10.MF
+
+ d) Extra parametric files:
+
+ CMSSBI10.MF
+ CMBX11.MF
+ CMR11.MF
+ CMSL11.MF
+ CMTI11.MF
+ DLR10.MF
+
+ e) Additional file, being input while METAFONT processes a PL
+ parametric file:
+
+ FIK_MIK.MF
+
+ f) Mode file for Linotronic 100 and 300
+
+ LINOMODE.MF
+
+ g) Format file for the MFT program:
+
+ PL.MFT
+
+ This file provides a format for a neat typesetting of the METAFONT
+ sources of PL fonts; it is assumed that user has a file MFTMAC.TEX
+ (this file may be found, e.g., in emTeX package of Eberhard Mattes
+ or in any CTAN:/macros/generic/plain/base/mftmac.tex).
+
+ 6. Genarating PL fonts
+ ----------------------
+
+ Usually, METAFONT implementation comes up with an additional software
+ which facilitates genarating fonts. The MeX package includes data files
+ for the MFJOB program of E. Mattes, which controls generating fonts
+ by emMF (for details see the documentation of the emTeX package).
+ The following files are available:
+
+ G180PL.MFJ data for generating 180dpi (for 24 pin matrix printers)
+ PL fonts
+
+ G240PL.MFJ data for generating 240dpi (for 9 pin matrix printers)
+ PL fonts
+
+ G300PL.MFJ data for generating 300dpi (for HP compatible laser
+ printers) PL fonts
+
+ GPLMODES.MFJ definition of respective modes for MFJOB
+
+Installation of the format (FMT) files
+======================================
+
+In order to work with the MeX and LaMeX formats one has to generate
+the respective FMT files using INITEX. The following files are necessary:
+ MEX.TEX, LAMEX.TEX, MEX1.TEX, MEX2.TEX, MEXCONF.TEX, PLHYPH.TEX.
+Moreover, the following files from the standard TeX package should
+be available for INITEX:
+ PLAIN.TEX, LATEX.TEX, LPLAIN.TEX, LFONTS.TEX, HYPHEN.TEX.
+
+There are data and batch files in the distribution package, facilitating
+the process of the generation of FMT files using emTeX (TEX186), namely:
+ MAZ2PL.PCT, LAT2PL.PCT, MAZ2PL.TCP, LAT2PL.TCP, MK-TCP.BAT, GM-MEX.BAT,
+ GM-LAMEX.BAT, GL-MEX.BAT, and GL-LAMEX.BAT.
+
+The user may change the default behaviour of the formats changing
+the MEXCONF.TEX file (see this file).
+
+User's manual
+=============
+
+Polish diacritical letters
+--------------------------
+
+Usually, users access the Polish diacritical characters directly
+(using a one-character notation). In some applications, however,
+a universal, ``device-independent'' notation may be convenient. In such
+a situation one may switch on the prefix notation (command \prefixing).
+This command makes a slash active, and the Polish diacritical characters
+are represented as follows:
+
+ /a -- a with ogonek /A -- A with ogonek
+ /c -- c with acute accent /C -- C with acute accent
+ /e -- e with ogonek /E -- E with ogonek
+ /l -- l with cross /L -- L with cross
+ /n -- n with acute accent /N -- N with acute accent
+ /o -- o with acute accent /O -- O with acute accent
+ /s -- s with acute accent /S -- S with acute accent
+ /x -- z with acute accent /X -- Z with acute accent
+ /z -- z with dot accent /Z -- Z with dot accent
+
+Slash itself is represented by // or by the command \normalslash.
+
+The direct notation is restored by the \nonprefixing command. The Polish
+users are supposed to prefere the direct access to the Polish letters, the
+more so, as the control sequences may then contain Polish diacritical
+characters.
+
+Quotation marks
+---------------
+
+Polish opening quote and French quotes are available as ligatures
+ ,, << and >>
+respectively.
+
+Hyphenation
+-----------
+
+From the point of view of TeX, the hyphenation rules depend on both language
+and font layout. Since there are a few potential layouts for the Polish
+diacritical letters (Mazovia, Latin 2, ECM), there are, in fact, a few Polish
+languages. The formats MeX and LaMeX provide a mechanism for smooth switching
+between different font layouts within one document. The command \layout
+(\layout{pl}, \layout{mazovia}, \layout{pone}, \layout{latintwo}) switches
+automaticly the respective hyphenation rules (or forbids hyphenating at all,
+if there is not enough room in TeX's memory to store all necessary
+patterns). After fixing a layout, one can switch forth and back between the
+Polish and English languages using the commands \language\polish and
+\language\english, resp.
+
+In Polish the words like `blah-blah' should by hyphenated rather
+ blah-
+ -blah
+(note the hyphen preceeding the second line) than
+ blah-
+ blah.
+A special command has been introduced, \=, providing a proper Polish
+hyphenation when put instead of an explicit hyphen (blah\=blah); the
+subwords may also be hyphenated if necessary. The original (PLAIN) meaning
+of \=, macron, is now assigned to the \macron command.
+
+Math mode
+---------
+
+The Polish diacritical characters may appear in math formulas (also as
+indices) only in text fonts. There are no Polish characters in math italic,
+since such characters are never used as single-character names of variables.
+
+Special Polish less-or-equal and greater-or-equal signs (see section 3.g in
+the chapter ``PL fonts'') are rendered by the macros \xleq (or \xle) and
+\xgeq (or \xge), respecticvely.
+
+Polish names for `tan', `cot', `tanh', `coth' are `tg', `ctg', `tgh', and
+`ctgh', respectively. The macros \tg, \ctg, \tgh, and \ctgh can be used to
+typeset them.
+
+A new macro, \arc, has been introduced. This macro, when followed by
+a function name (e.g., \arc\sin), typesets the word `arc' followed by a tiny
+space, followed by the function name. This is a usual way of typesetting
+in Polish the names of inverse trigonometric functions.
+
+Bilingual styles for LaMeX
+--------------------------
+
+Following the ideas of H. Partl and J. Schrod (implemented in the German TeX),
+bilingual versions of the styles article, book, letter, makeidx, openbib,
+proc, report and titlepa (renamed to iarticle, ibook, iletter, imakeidx,
+iopenbib, iproc, ireport and ititlepa, resp.) have been introduced. The
+commands \captionsenglish \dateenglish, \captionspolish and \datepolish can
+be used to switch between the Polish and English languages.
+
+Default values:
+---------------
+
+At the beginning of document processing the following defaults hold:
+ \frenchspacing
+ \nonprefixing
+ \layout{pl}
+ \language\polish
+
+\MeX and \LaMeX logos
+---------------------
+
+In MeX and LaMeX the command \MeX typesets the MeX logo using a current font.
+The \LaMeX command is accessible only in LaMeX and typesets the logo using
+the \rm font.
