In order -to make PHYZZX and \TeX\ more accessible to people at the -lab, we have generated this writeup. - -As I said, -to all intents and purposes you and Xedit (or you and Wylbur, if -you insist on living in prehistoric times) make a typist. -Actually, you make a pretty good typist for text, but you -don't do too well as a technical typist because neither -Xedit nor Wylbur does a very good job at typing equations. -You plus Xedit plus \TeX\ make a stupendous technical typist -and a remarkably good printing company. -Pursuing this analogy the process for producing a beautiful -book quality manuscript starts with somebody typing the -first draft. -This somebody is presumably you, the reader, and the -tools you use are your trusty computer terminal and an editor like -Xedit. -Obviously I have no intention of explaining how to use Xedit -since this is probably unnecessary and anyhow, everything you -have to know for the purpose of typing a text file -can be easily learned by reading the {\bf IBM Virtual Machine/ -System product: CMS Primer}. -Hence, this writeup assumes that you know how to log on to the -computer and use the editor. - -To use the editor to start collecting a file which \TeX\ will -turn into a beautiful paper, memo, or letter, you have to -follow a simple procedure. -First, in your incarnation as typist, you have log on -and enter an editor (e.g., Xedit) by telling it you want to -create a file whose name is {\bf CRAP} and whose filetype is {\bf TEX}. -You accomplish this feat by typing something difficult like -\tc{X {\rm (or XEDIT)} CRAP TEX A } -whereupon the powers that be will throw you into the editor. -At this point, since you are a person of discerning tastes, -the very next line you enter is -\tc{\\input phyzzx}. -This command will make sure that when you tell the computer -to print a version of the paper it will become an editor and instruct -the typesetter to lay out the copy according to the criteria -established by the macro package PHYZZX. -The very next thing you do is skip a line (i.e., enter a blank line) -in order to make your copy easy to read, and then -start to enter your copy. -So much for you as a typist. - -\subsection{You As An Editor: Correcting a Mistaken Impression} - -The preceding discussion indicates that you are to take your -manuscript and type it into the editor in exactly the same way -as you would at a typewriter. -While this is a possible way of proceeding it is not really -the best way to do things. -In order to you to understand why this is true, you have to -understand that once you have functioned as a typist, the -next thing you have to be is an editor. - -An editor's job is to make sure the text looks good and that -the printer knows how he is supposed to layout the copy which -he receives. -For example, he has to know: -how much space to put between lines of text, -what font to set chapter headings in, how much space to skip -before and after a chapter heading, which math symbols are -exponents, greek letters etc. -Since you are the editor and \TeX\ is going to be the printer, -you have to mark up the copy so that \TeX\ and/or PHYZZX knows -what to do with it. -This feat is accomplished by including editor's comments (or marks) -in the text. -These comments (or commands to \TeX ) have to have a special -character in front of them so that \TeX\ will recognize them -for what they are; this character is the $\backslash$, and the -combination of a \\ followed by a string of characters -is called a control sequence. -One example of a control sequence is {\bf \\par} which tells -\TeX\ to begin a new paragraph. -Note that this is not a trivial thing since \TeX\ has to know -to skip some extra space between the text in different paragraphs, -indent the first line by some amount, etc. -The basic version of \TeX\ has lots of control sequences -which tell \TeX\ to do lots of wonderful things. -To learn about these things (probably more than you initially -want to know about how \TeX\ operates) you have to read -{\it selectively} in the \TeX book written by Knuth. -Since this discussion is between friends, let me warn you -this book stinks as a reference manual and ain't so hot -as an introduction to \TeX . -Knuth has a philosophy of learning by ever increasing levels of -mistakes which I (and many of my acquaintances) find -at best distracting and at worst impenetrable. -Unfortunately, this book is all that is -available as an in depth introduction -to the basic version of \TeX . -If you want to know how to do sophisticated things which lie -outside of the purview of PHYZZX you will have to read quite a -lot of it.\foot{To get a feeling for \TeX\ -it is advisable to browse through the first three -chapters and read about boxes and modes. -If you just wish to type papers in the most straightforward way -you can defer this reading until you are more experienced so long as -you use PHYZZX. -However, in any event, you must -read the sections on typing math formulas, -typing displayed equations and a little bit about making boxes -since I have neither the time nor inclination to go into those things -in this writeup, and you must have a basic idea of how this stuff -works in order to proceed. -After all, ostensibly this writeup is about how to use PHYZZX -and is not a primer on \TeX .} -A really good thing to read to get an idea of the basic -things you can do with \TeX\ and to learn about the important control -sequences is a primer entitled {\bf First Grade \TeX\ \bf A Beginner's -\TeX\ Manual \rm by \it Arthur L. Samuel}. -This is short, readable and contains everything you need to -supplement this discussion of PHYZZX. -You can request a copy of this manual from the SLAC Library \hbreak -\vskip .10in -\vbox{\kern 3\lineskip -\centerline{ \bf First Grade Tex -- A Beginner's \TeX\ Manual} -\centerline{by} -\centerline{\it Arthur L. Samuel} -\centerline{ STAN--CS--83--985}} - -Since you are going to be both typist and editor it pays for -you to combine these jobs and mark up the manuscript at the -same time that you type it. -To be precise, this means that you want to type in equations -so that superscripts, \break \eject \noindent -subscripts, etc., are clearly indicated. -You also want to type chapter headings, subchapter headings, etc., -in such a way that the font to be used, the space to be skipped -above and below the heading, etc. are all clearly indicated. -In general you want to tell the printer how to lay out the -resulting copy as you type it in. -This of course requires that you make many formatting decisions -and then use the basic \TeX\ control sequences in order to tell -it what to do. -It will come as no surprise to you that this can get very -complicated very quickly. -That's where PHYZZX comes in. - -\section{What Is PHYZZX?} - -PHYZZX is a {\it macropackage} which is designed to make typing papers -destined for Physical Review or Nuclear Physics as simple as possible. -In addition it allows you to type letters and produce memos without -knowing much about the way \TeX\ works. - -The first question which arises at this point is {\it What is a -macropackage ?}, or for that matter {\it What is a macro?}. -Despite the name a {\it macro} is not something eaten on a -macrobiotic diet. -It is a name for a simple thing. -Unfortunately, this name has -been carefully designed by computerniks -to strike terror into the heart of occasional users and keep them -in their place. (There is nothing more annoying than an -uppity occasional user.) -Basically a macro is a way of defining an entry in a dictionary -which is kept in the guts of the computer. -The computer uses this dictionary to -find the meaning of words which have been defined -using the control sequence {\bf \\def}. -A macropackage is, as the name implies, a package of macros (or -definitions of commands) which we can use to give complicated -formatting instructions to \TeX\ without having to go -to the trouble of typing everything out each time we want to -give the same instruction. - -It follows from this discussion that PHYZZX is just a collection -of definitions which tell \TeX\ to do a well defined set of things -to make the text which follows look just the way you want it to look. -The best thing about a macropackage is that once it is written -you only have to know what happens when you -issue a given instruction; -you don't have to know how it is made to happen. -Although each of the commands which appear in the macropackage -cause apparently simple things to happen, making them happen can -get quite involved if you try to use the PLAIN version of \TeX . - -\subsection{Why Create A Macropackage like PHYZZX ?} - -Finally we get down to brass tacks. -We already pointed out that you, the person preparing the -manuscript, must to play the role of typist and editor. -As editor you have the job of telling the printer how large to -make chapter titles, what typeface to use for chapter titles, -how much space to skip above and below a chapter title, etc. -Having to give this set of instructions every time you want to -type a chapter title can get to be a pain in the neck. -Not only that, but imagine the problem of remembering exactly what -format you want for chapter titles, section titles, subsection -titles, etc., if -- as is the case with PHYZZX -- you use a different -format for each one. -Clearly, if one had to type all of this each time and keep all this -information in one's head one would probably choose not to use -\TeX\ at all. - -This discussion raises another point, namely that if one did -not have a predefined set of macros to tell \TeX\ what to -do at a certain point then you would have one more job dumped upon -your shoulders. -In addition to being typist and editor you would have to be a book -designer. -That means that you would have to make all of the esthetic decisions -about the most attractive print to use for a given paper, the spacing -to use between lines, the best way to number equations and -the rest of that crap. -This can be an onerous task which the average user doesn't want to -have to deal with. -Moreover, everybody has his own esthetic criteria (even though some -people have more taste than others), so without -a macropackage, to -set the formats into predefined molds, there would be little -or no uniformity in the layout of papers coming out of SLAC. -While this would be no great tragedy, it could get confusing. - -Okay, so PHYZZX is a macropackage which provides a dictionary -of editor's commands which allow one to easily format a -document for the printer. -It makes a set of esthetic choices for how these documents should -look and, in the interests of simplicity, doesn't make it trivial -for the casual user to mess around with these choices. -(Actually, this is not really true since there are many -ways in which PHYZZX can be tailored to your personal preferences, -but we will discuss that as we go along.) -The obvious question which comes up at this point is {\it Who -made all of these esthetic decisions?\/}. -In the interests of preserving the lives of the parties involved, -anonymity must be preserved. -Rest assured, however, it was a consultative process -and many people had an input into the final result. -Despite the fact that PHYZZX is an animal put together -by a committee, we think it does its job fairly well. - -\subsection{ So, what does it do?} - -The main job which PHYZZX is designed to do is to make -it easy to format SLAC preprints destined for submission to -Physical Review or Nuclear Physics. -Since these journals require different ways of handling line spacing, -footnotes, references, etc., PHYZZX you need to specify the journal -to which the preprint is to be submitted. -Actually, you only have to tell if the journal is going to be -Physical Review, since the default format is that for -Nuclear Physics. -This is because we, with our usual impeccable good taste, -decided that the Nuclear Physics format was a better -general purpose format. -If you don't like our decision write your own macropackage. - -All kidding aside, -changing to Physical Review format is easy, all you have to -do is start your typing with -\tc{\\input phyzzx} -\tcon{\\PHYSREV} -Note, when you are typing a control sequence everything counts; i.e., -\TeX\ cares about capital letters, small letters, spaces, etc. -Be careful to copy just what you see typed here or it won't work; -worse yet, it might work in an unexpected way. - -In addition to formatting papers PHYZZX does a great job of -producing letters and memos. -In each of these cases it produces, by itself, the appropriate -letterhead and formats the text in a way appropriate to the -document at hand. -Since, however, we consider the preprint formatting capabilities -of PHYZZX to be of paramount importance, we will discuss them first -and turn to letters and memos when we have finished. - - -\chapter{STRUCTURING PREPRINTS} - -A preprint is a document which eventually -will be submitted to a journal for publication. -In setting up PHYZZX we assumed that format of a preprint -is essentially fixed. -The size type to be used in the body of -the preprint is chosen so that when run off on the laser printer -and reduced for distribution it will be easily readable. -In addition, normally we skip -one and a half lines between lines of text. -We think this looks most attractive with the size type we are using -and makes the preprints a little shorter, saving paper. -To satisfy the requirements of journals like Phys.Rev. Letters -which specify the number of lines per inch which a -manuscript must have, you must use double spacing; -the command {\bf \\PHYSREV} automatically -takes care of this, as well as -a number of other things. - -Concerning spacing and other parameters you may well ask -{\it How fixed is fixed ?\/}. -The answer varies. -For example, -since we realize that people like to play around with line spacing -to some degree, we have provided commands which we hope will -enable you to change the average interline spacing to -something closer to your heart's desire. -The commands which perform this wondrous feat are -\tc{\\singlespace} -\tcon{\\doublespace} -and -\tc{\\normalspace} -Obviously, {\bf \\doublespace} means twice {\bf \\singlespace}; -but {\it What is the meaning of \bf \\normalspace \it ?\/}. -The answer to this question is that {\bf \\normalspace} -corresponds to a spacing between single and doublespace. - -You might think, having read a little in the \TeX\ book, -that you can achieve the same thing by changing {\bf \\baselineskip} -and {\bf \\lineskip}. -In a sense you would be correct. -However, you should know that the commands {\bf \\doublespace}, etc., -do more; this is because -they do different things depending upon the font and -format you are using. -If you want to do the same thing you will have to modify -a lot of basic \TeX\ parameters or the esthetic impact of the -document which emerges just won't be the same. - -All of this is by way of a parenthetical comment since it won't -do you any good unless you know how to use the simplest version -of PHYZZX first. - -\section{Chapters, Sections and Subsections} - -\subsection{Chapters} - -Most longer papers are divided into several parts in order -to make them easier to read. -These parts usually are preceded by headings or titles -which indicate the subject to be covered in discussion which follows. -Stylistically, several decisions have to be made about how -these headings are to be set in type. -You, as editor, have to tell the printer what to do. - -We will refer to the major divisions of a paper as chapters. -In general each chapter has a heading. -Our choice as book designers has been to set this heading in -larger type and preface the text of the heading with a number. -The number is automatically increased each time you declare a -new chapter. -In addition, some extra space is skipped both above and below -each chapter heading. -All of this magic is at your disposal if you simply use the -{\bf \\chapter} command to indicate that the text you are -about to type is the heading of a chapter. -\storechap \storesec -To be precise, the way you use this command is to type -\tc{ \\chapter $\{$ {\it text} $\}$ } -where $\{$ {\it text} $\}$ stands -for the chapter name which you have to make -up and insert. -For example, the chapter title for this chapter was generated by -typing -\tc{\\chapter$\{$ {\it STRUCTURING PREPRINTS} $\}$} - -Note, I chose to type the heading in capitals. -That's because I like the way it looks. -You certainly don't have to do that. -If you don't, but instead type -\tc{\\chapter$\{$ {\it Structuring Preprints} $\}$} -then you obtain \recallchap -\chapter{Structuring Preprints} - -One thing to notice is the curly braces surrounding the text. -These braces are absolutely necessary. -They are grouping symbols which tell \TeX\ how much of the -text to follow is to be considered part of the chapter heading -and if they are omitted you will get a disastrous error message -saying something like \TeX 's capacity is exhausted. -Unfortunately, on the screen of a computer terminal, -these symbols are easy to confuse with ( \ -and so you will have to be careful. -If you are in {\bf XEDIT} -you will be able to issue the command {\bf balance}. -This is an {\bf XEDIT} command defined by an exec file on the U -disk which counts matching pairs of curly braces. -It is helpful in that it tells you there is a problem, but -unfortunately it doesn't find the problem for you. - -In general you won't want to play around with the choice of font -inside of a chapter heading and so, by default, you will -get a roman font. -However, you can play with it if you wish. -We have provided a series of control sequences, or editors marks, -which allow you to change between different fonts all of which -have essentially the same size. -Hence, if you type {\bf \\rm} you get the current roman font, -if you type {\bf \\bf} you get the bold face version of the current font, -if you type {\bf \\sl} you get a slanted version of the current font, -if you type {\bf \\it} you get an italic font, and if -you type {\bf \\tt} you usually get a typewriter font. -I say that you usually get a typewriter font because we do not -have typewriter available in all sizes of print. -When we don't PHYZZX makes a substitution of the same font at a different -size. -Another font for which this happens is {\bf \\caps} which is -a font \endpage \noindent which is made up of only capital letters. -This font distinguishes between upper and lowercase letters only by size. -As an example of switching fonts let us see what happens if we change -font inside the command chapter. - -If you type \recallchap -\tc{\\chapter$\{$\\bf{ \it Formatting Text}$\}$ } -you get -\chapter{\bf Formatting Text} -If you type \recallchap -\tc{\\chapter$\{$\\sl {\it Formatting Text}$\}$ } -you get -\chapter{\sl Formatting Text} -If you type \recallchap -\tc{\\chapter$\{$\\it {\it Formatting Text}$\}$ } -you get -\chapter{\it Formatting Text} -\endpage -If you type \recallchap -\tc{\\chapter$\{$\\caps {\it Formatting Text}$\}$ } -you get -\chapter{\caps Formatting Text} -Finally, if you type \recallchap -\tc{\\chapter$\{$\\tt {\it Formatting Text} $\}$ } -you get -\chapter{\tt Formatting Text} - -While all of this is very nice you should note that the font -used to set the chapter number does not change with the text. -This illustrates something about \TeX 's grouping symbols. -Since we put the control sequences for changing fonts inside the -braces, only the text inside the braces is affected. -That is, the change only occurs {\it locally}. -In general any change you make inside a pair of curly braces only -affects the material inside the braces, unless you force -the effect to persist. -(If you want to know how to do this look up the {\bf \\global} -command in the \TeX\ book.) -It follows, therefore, that if we want the number to change -we have to change the font before we give the {\bf \\chapter} -command. -

-We have already mentioned that PHYZZX put extra space -above and below a chapter heading. -Since all of the chapter headings for this writeup -were generated using -the command {\bf \\chapter}, you only have to examine them -to see how \TeX\ handles these extra spaces. - -Another remark worth making is that in the current incarnation -of PHYZZX you do not have to worry about chapter titles which -are too long. -The chapter macro is set up to split your line when necessary -and automatically center each line. -To accomplish this feat PHYZZX makes use of a control sequence -called {\bf \\titlestyle}. -The command {\bf \\titlestyle} is worth knowing about because -sometimes you want to be able to type in a longish amount of -material and want the various lines to be centered, not left or -right adjusted after each break. -Typing {\bf \\titlestyle$\{$ {\it text} $\}$} will accomplish this feat. -In addition, -if you don't like the way PHYZZX chooses to break the lines -you can force your desires upon the machine by inserting: the -command {\bf \\break}. -This command forces the line to break at the point where the command is -given. -The command {\bf \\nobreak} will stop the line from -breaking at an undesirable place, and the symbol \~ \ will -insert some unbreakable space between words. -This stuff is covered in the basic books on \TeX\ and we refer you to -there for details. -Combining these control sequences with the control sequence -{\bf \\titlestyle} allows you to {\it easily} -achieve many interesting effects. -For example, you can generate an invitation by typing \hbreak -{\bf \\titlestyle $\{$ \\it \it You are cordially invited \bf \\break -\hbreak -\it to the coming out party for \bf \\break \hbreak -\it the new macro package \bf \\break \hbreak -\\rm \it PHYZZX \bf \\break $\}$ } \hbreak -and obtain -\titlestyle {\it You are cordially invited \break -to the coming out party for \break -the new macro package \break -\rm PHYZZX \break } - -If you are really sharp, and I assume that you are, you will -have noticed that the type in which the invitation is set is larger -than the normal type. -Remember that I already told you that titles are set in larger -type than the basic text. -I also told you that the commands {\bf \\rm}, {\bf \\bf}, {\bf \\it}, -etc., change the style of the font but leave it the same size. -What we have not discussed is how you change the size of the font -the way {\bf \\titlestyle} does with impunity. -Well, all things come to he who waits! -Now's the time to discuss this point. - -Font sizes, as you learn from reading the \TeX book come in sizes -measured in a mysterious printer's unit call {\it points}. -You don't have to know what a point is, you only have to know that -most of the text in this writeup is twelve point type, the titles -are in fourteen point type and the footnotes are in ten point type. -It is possible for you to force \TeX\ to use a particular size -of type by saying {\bf \\tenpoint},{\bf \\twelvepoint} or -{\bf \\fourteenpoint}; in which case the obvious thing happens. -Thus, for example, if you change the typed instructions for generating -the invitation to read \hbreak -{\bf \\titlestyle $\{$ \\twelvepoint -\\it \it You are cordially invited \bf \\break -\hbreak -\it to the coming out party for \bf \\break \hbreak -\it the new macro package \bf \\break \hbreak -\\rm \it PHYZZX \bf \\break $\}$ } \hbreak -you get -\vskip -\parskip -\titlestyle {\twelvepoint \it You are cordially invited \break -to the coming out party for \break -the new macro package \break -\rm PHYZZX \break } -\endpage -\noindent and if you type \hbreak -{\bf \\titlestyle $\{$ \\tenpoint -\\it \it You are cordially invited \bf \\break -\hbreak -\it to the coming out party for \bf \\break \hbreak -\it the new macro package \bf \\break \hbreak -\\rm \it PHYZZX \bf \\break $\}$ }\hbreak -the result is -\titlestyle {\tenpoint \it You are cordially invited \break -to the coming out party for \break -the new macro package \break -\rm PHYZZX \break } - -\subsection{Sections} - -Now that we know everything about generating chapters, we turn -to the problem of generating smaller subdivisions; namely, -sections and subsections. - -\recallchap \recallsec -The numbering is done as $\{ chapter number\}.\{section number\}$ . -Each time you start a new chapter, the section numbers restart from -1. -You have already seen many examples of the results produced by -the section macro in this writeup. -As in the case of the chapter macro all of the numbering is taken -care of automatically. -To accomplish the feat of generating a new section heading you type -\tc{\\section $\{$ {\it section heading} $\}$ } -For example, if you type -\tc{ \\section $\{$ {\it New Section} $\}$ } -you get -\advance\sectionnumber by -1 \section{ New Section } -As in the case of chapter headings you can play with the -fonts if you insist; however, remember that the space above and -below chapter and section headings have been carefully matched -to our choices of fonts. -If you play too much, the esthetic balance of the final copy -won't be the same. - -\subsection{Subsections} - -The smallest subdivision for which we have a formal macro -defined is a subsection. -Our choice has been to make subsections unnumbered and underlined. -When you type the command {\bf \\subsection -$\{$ {\it subsec.heading} $\}$ } -you get the sort of heading which introduces this paragraph. -All of the control sequences, {\bf \\chapter}, {\bf \\section} and -{\bf \\subsection} force the start of a new paragraph, so in principle -you do not have to skip lines as you type in text. -However, from the point of being able to proofread your -typed copy in order to make corrections, not skipping lines -can be a disaster. - -The underlining of the text in the section macro is accomplished using -the control sequence -\tc{\\undertext $\{$ {\it text} $\}$ } -This is a command worth knowing about, but in general using italics -is a better way to emphasize text. - -This completes our discussion of the macros which handle the -generation of titles for the major subdivisions of the usual paper. - -\section{Other Subdivisions: Appendices and Acknowledgements} - -In addition to chapters, sections and subsections, papers tend -to have auxiliary junk attached. -This extra junk is usually called either -acknowledgements or appendices. -To save you the bother of figuring out which font sizes and spacing -choices are necessary to make these appendages -consistent with the rest of the paper we also have -control sequences to generate headings for them. -Typing the command -\tc{ \\ack } -generates the line -\ack -Note the beauty of the typeface and the precisely chosen amounts of -extra space which gracefully offset the title generated with this -simple command. -Once again, for the Philistines among you, you can play with -the fonts using the commands {\bf \\bf}, {\bf \\sl}, etc.; -however, let the esthetic violence you do to the manuscript -be on your own head. - -Generating appendices presents us with a slightly more complex -situation and so you get more choices as to how to proceed. -The questions which arise at this juncture are -{\it How many appendices will there be ?\/} and -{\it How do you want them numbered ?\/}. -Clearly, if there is to be only one appendix then the choice is -simple. -In that event you generate a lovely heading by simply typing -\tc{ \\appendix } -which causes \TeX\ to generate the line -\appendix -If there are to be many appendices and you want to number them -in any way which suits you, you only need type -\tc{\\Appendix$\{$ {\it text} $\}$ } -note the capital letter appearing as the first letter of this control -sequence. -Remember, \TeX\ cares about upper and lowercase, so this is a -different command from { \bf \\appendix}. -

-\section{Controlling the Way Chapters are Numbered} - -The discussion to follow is really not necessary if what you want to -learn is how to use PHYZZX to type a paper. -This section is devoted to making PHYZZX do something out of -the ordinary; i.e., something it ordinarily doesn't want to do. - -\subsection{Playing With Numbers} - -There will be times when you want to print out just a -piece of a paper either because it is long, or because (as I -understand is the case for that strange group of people called -{\it experimental physicists}) many people are working on different -chapters (perhaps even sections) of the same paper. -In this event you probably want the chapter and section numbers to -print correctly when you are proof reading so that you don't get -confused. -Rest easy, this can be done. -PHYZZX defines two quantities which it updates and refers to when -it needs chapter and section numbers. -These quantities are called {\bf \\chapternumber} and -{\bf \\sectionnumber} (big surprise!). -You, as the editor, can tell PHYZZX to set these numbers to a -specific value, say 7, by typing -\tc{\\chapternumber$=$7} -or -\tc{\\sectionnumber$=$7} -Note that for the first time you have encountered an $=$ -sign occurring in a statement to \TeX . -You will encounter this sort of syntax many times, -in general when it occurs it will be because it is the natural -way to write something. - -Once you get involved in fooling with chapter and section numbers -there are a few things you have to know. -Both the {\bf \\chapter} and {\bf \\section} macros increase -the respective chapter or section number by 1 before they print -anything. -Thus, if you want to get a chapternumber like 7 you set -\tc{\\chapternumber$=$6} -The same is true for setting the section number. -If you are so perverse as to start in the middle of a chapter, then -when you set the section number you must also set -the chapter number, since it appears as part of the section -heading. -Actually, the quantity which appears in the section heading is -called {\\bf \\chapterlabel} and to set it you have to say -\tc{\\let\\chapterlabel={\it 6}} -or whatever label you want instead of 6. -This extra step is required because we really don't think its -such a great idea to start in the middle of a chapter and -so didn't bother to make it too trivial to do so. -If you are starting a chapter, then you don't have to worry -about setting the section number since the command {\bf \\chapter} -automatically resets the section number to 0. - -\subsection{Changing Styles} - -Another way you might want to modify the way PHYZZX handles divisions -is to have it number chapters using letters, or roman numerals, -instead of arabic numerals. -Although this defeats the purpose of establishing some sort -of uniformity of style for preprints, etc., it is possible to do. -This feature was added to PHYZZX because we recognize that some -folks, particularly experimentalists, just can't leave well -enough alone. -The mood of people like this begins to verge upon hysteria if -they don't have knobs to twiddle and buttons to push. -For this small number of benighted souls there exists the -special command called {\bf \\chapterstyle}. -You change the way in which PHYZZX numbers chapters by saying -\settabs 2 \columns -\+ {\bf \\chapterstyle$=$$\{$\\alphabetic$\}$}& to get -the l.c. letters a,b,c,$\ldots$ \cr -\+ {\bf \\chapterstyle$=$$\{$\\Alphabetic$\}$}& to get -the u.c. letters A,B,C,$\ldots$ \cr -\+ {\bf \\chapterstyle$=$$\{$\\roman$\}$} & to get -the l.c. roman numerals i,ii,iii,$\ldots$ \cr -\+ {\bf \\chapterstyle$=$$\{$\\Roman$\}$} & to get -the u.c. roman numerals I,II,III,$\ldots$ \cr - -There is one more option open to you, that is to have all -chapters, sections and subsections unnumbered.\foot{Note that -this implies that all equations will automatically be sequentially -numbered} -To select this option you begin your file with the command -\tc{\\unnumberedchapters} -This is not too difficult, but it is long to type. - -One final remark. -We have not made it possible, other than shutting it off -completely, for you to change the style used when numbering subsections. -All you get is {$ chapterlabel.section number $} no matter what you -do. -Moreover, the section number is always an arabic numeral. -If you don't like this, write your own section macro. -(This isn't as bad as it sounds. We'll discuss doing this sort of -thing at the end of this writeup.) - -\chapter{DISPLAYED EQUATIONS: NUMBERING AND NAMING THEM} - -We have now discussed the macros available for defining the basic -parts of a paper and appropriately titling them. -Now let us turn to the most important -stuff -- other than text -- which appears in each section; namely -equations. -If you've done your homework and read Knuth or {\bf First Grade -\TeX\ } you know that equations are typed in {\it math mode} -and that you let \TeX\ know that you are in math mode by -typing either \$ or \$\$ . -Enclosing an equation inside a pair of single \$ signs -puts it in ordinary mode; enclosing the same equation between -matching pairs of \$\$ signs puts it in display mode. -Regular math mode is used for inserting equations into a line of -text. -Since you have done your homework we don't have to say -anything about this, since PHYZZX doesn't play with ordinary math mode -at all. -Display mode is used for generating equations which are to stand out -from the ordinary text. -It allows you to type \hbreak -{\bf \$\$} {\it (x+y)(x-y) = x\^\ 2 - y\^\ 2 }{\bf\$\$ } \hbreak -in order to get -$$ (x+y)(x-y) = x^2 -y^2 $$ -This is called a displayed equation. - -Displayed equations are used in all journals and are usually -numbered. -In PLAIN \TeX\ there is a built in -capability for allowing you to generate -equation numbers; it is the macro {\bf \\eqno}. -If you type \hbreak -{\bf \$\$ \it (x+y)(x-y) = x\^\ 2 - y\^\ 2 \bf \\eqno({\it 13}) \$\$ } -you get -$$ (x+y)(x-y) = x^2 -y^2 \eqno(13) $$ -This example shows what the command {\bf \\eqno} does. It makes -the material appearing to the right of this command into -a label for the displayed equation and sticks it in the right hand -side of the line. -There is also the PLAIN \TeX\ command {\bf \\leqno} which does the same -thing but puts the equation number on the left. -For example, typing \hbreak -{\bf \$\$ \it 7x+12 = 24 \bf \\leqno ({\it 13}) \bf \$\$ } \hbreak -produces -$$ 7x + 12 = 24 \leqno(13) $$ - -{\it So}, you ask, {\it what does PHYZZX have to do with this?} -Well the answer to that question depends upon who you are. -If you are typing someone else's handwritten manuscript which is -in final proofread form, then these macros for putting in -equation numbers are all you need. -If, however, you are the author of the paper, typing it in yourself, -either from a rough copy or composing it directly at the -terminal, then these two commands leave a great deal to be desired. - -To begin with, if you are anything like me, when composing -at the typewriter you usually forget the number of the last -equation you have typed. -Of course you can always go back and look it up, but this is time -consuming and sometimes difficult to do. -In addition if, as is usually the case, you expect the manuscript -to be changed after it is typed, then it is highly likely -that equations will be added, deleted and moved around. -In that case, if you have used {\bf \\eqno} or {\bf \\leqno} -you will have to go through the text and change all of the -equation numbers and all references to those numbers each time -there is a revision. -Clearly this can get to be a big nuisance. -Wouldn't it be nice if \TeX\ would just take care of numbering -all of the equations properly each time it prints the manuscript -taking into account all of the revisions automatically.\hbreak -\centerline{{\it Joy of joys} it can be done!} - -\section{A Simple Solution to Numbering Equations} - -PHYZZX has a macro {\bf \\eq} which can take care of this chore for -you automatically. -All you have to do is type \hbreak -\tc{ \$\$ \it x + y = {\bf $\{$} 2 {\bf \\over} (x - y) {\bf $\}$} -\bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$} -to get \hbreak -$$ x + y = {2 \over (x-y)} \eqno\eq $$ -and you will have automatically generated an equation number. -The question is, {\it What sort of equation -number will you generate ?\/}. -Once again, this is a question of style. -If you are in the Phys.Rev. format, or in the default Nuclear Physics -format then the equation label is of the form -{ \it chapterlabel.equation number}. -Equations are numbered sequentially within each chapter, but -when you change chapters the chapter number is increased by -1 and the equation number is reset to 1. -If you have chosen the format with unnumbered chapters and sections, -then {\\eq } will automatically generate sequential equation numbers. -As far as we are concerned this is the most satisfactory way of -numbering things. -For short papers, i.e. those with only one chapter, choose the unnumbered -chapter format and all of your equations will be numbered sequentially; -for longer papers, i.e. those which call for dividing them into -chapters, numbering the equations by their chapter and number within -the chapter makes it easier to refer to them. -Sometimes, however, either out of perversity or because a paper -has many chapters but very few equations, an author wishes to -choose the format with numbered chapters but sequential equation numbers. -This will happen if, before entering the first equation in your paper -you type the command {\bf \\sequentialequations} -Hence, in the default mode, typing -\tc{ \$\$ \it 7x + 11x\bf \^\ \it 2 = 50 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it 3x + x\bf \^\ \it 3 = 85 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it 4x + 8x\bf \^\ \it 7 = 12 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it 7x + 4x\bf \^\ \it 2 = 0 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it x + 21x\bf \^\ \it 5 = -5 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -yields -\equanumber=0 -$$ 7x + 11x^2 = 50 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ 3x + x^3 = 85 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ 4x + 8x^7 = 12 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ 7x + 4x^2 = 0 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ x + 21x^5 = -5 \eqno\eq $$ -If, however, you first type {\bf \\sequentialequations}; -then typing \hbreak -\tc{ \$\$ \it 7x + 11x\bf \^\ \it 2 = 50 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it 3x + x\bf \^\ \it 3 = 85 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it 4x + 8x\bf \^\ \it 7 = 12 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it 7x + 4x\bf \^\ \it 2 = 0 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -\tcon{ \$\$ \it x + 21x\bf \^\ \it 5 = -5 \bf \\eqno\\eq \$\$ } -yields -\sequentialequations -$$ 7x + 11x^2 = 50 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ 3x + x^3 = 85 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ 4x + 8x^7 = 12 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ 7x + 4x^2 = 0 \eqno\eq $$ -$$ x + 21x^5 = -5 \eqno\eq $$ - -Since you are an astute reader you have no doubt noticed -that what I have told you to this point only solves half of the -problem. -While {\bf \\eq} automatically generates equation numbers -which, each time you run the paper through \TeX\ , -are automatically updated to conform to the order in which -they appear in the text, we have no a priori way of knowing what these -numbers are. -The question is, {\it How do we get hold of these numbers so that -we can refer to them in the text?\/} -Well, {\bf \\eq} provides a partial solution to this problem by -definiing the control sequence {\bf \\?} a synonym for that -number each time it is invoked. -Hence, typing {\bf \\?} at any point in the text causes \TeX\ to -print the number of the last equation in which you used the -command {\bf \\eq}. -For example by typing {\it equation \bf \\?} we cause \TeX\ to print -equation \? , which is the number of the last equation -appearing in our examples. -The only thing wrong with this solution is that the meaning of -the symbol {\bf \\?} changes each time you invoke {\bf \\eq}, -so what happens if you want to refer back to an equation -at several different points in the text? - -\section{Naming Equations: A Powerful Tool} - -In order to make it possible to refer back to a specific equation -without knowing its number, PHYZZX has a way of giving the equation -a symbolic name, like {\bf \\?}, which will always stand for the -number of that equation. -The macro which accomplishes this feat does this at the same time -it generates (and prints) the number associated with this -equation. -Since this command does just one more thing than the command -{\bf \\eq} does, we have given it a name which is just one -letter longer; the name is {\bf \\eqn}. -To use {\bf \\eqn} you type -\tc{ \\eqn\\{\it equation\_name}} -\equanumber=6 -Note carefully the \\ appearing before the equation name inside the -braces. -This backslash must always precede the name itself because you -are using {\bf \\eqn} to define a new control sequence and, as -we have already noted, control sequences always start with a \\ . -Also note the grouping symbols. -They tell \TeX\ to include everything in the braces as the -equation name and they are necessary. -To use this command you type something like \nextline -{\bf {\it the value of} \$ \\pi \$ {\it is}} \nextline -\tc{ \$\$ \\pi \\approx {\it 3.14159 } \\eqn\\{\it valueofpi} \$\$ } -to obtain \nextline - -the value of $\pi$ is -$$ \pi \approx 3.14159 \eqn\valueofpi $$ -If you now type \nextline -{\it the circumference of a circle is given by} \nextline -{\bf \$\$ {\it 2} \\pi {\it r} -\^\ {\it 2} \\eqn\\{\it circumference} \$\$ }\nextline -you define a new equation number and a new name. -The result of this is \nextline - -\noindent the circumference of a circle is given by -$$ 2\pi r^2 \eqn\circumference $$ -If we now type {\bf \\valueofpi} we get \valueofpi , -if we type {\bf \\circumference} we get \circumference . - -A little thought will convince you that this ability to name -equations is a very powerful time saving tool. -By giving names to equations you are able to refer to them -at will without ever giving a thought to the number they -will be assigned when the paper is printed. -If you use the command {\bf \\eqn\\{\it name}} to -deal with the numbering problem, then the number assigned to the -equation and all references to the equation will always be correct. -It won't matter if you delete equations, add equations, move -equations around, or decide to switch from the normal conventions -for numbering equations to sequential numbering, etc. - -\subsection{Restrictions on Equation Names} - -There are only a few simple rules you should observe when giving -names to equations using the command {\bf \\eq} -\pointbegin -First, the name has to be proceeded by a \\ as we already noted -\point -Second, the rest of the name has to be all letters. -{\it No numbers are allowed\/}. -You may however use upper and lowercase letters, and names can -be arbitrarily long. -Everyone seems to have his own favorite way of naming equations -in order to facilitate referring back to them later. -I invite you to play around with this until you find a scheme -which makes you comfortable. -\point -Third, try to remember to always use a different name for each -equation. -Neither \TeX\ nor PHYZZX will warn you if you give two equations -the same name. -They will quite happily change the meaning of the -previously defined name to mean the number of the last equation -to which you have given that name. -If you wish this to happen, o.k., however be sure that is what you -want or you will be in for some surprises later. -\point -Finally, {\it never use the name of any macro for an equation name}, -this road surely leads to disaster. -For example, if you accidentally type {\bf \\eqn\\bf} -you not only change the previous meaning of {\bf \\bf} but you -also mess up any macro which uses that control sequence. - -As an example of this I note that the names {\bf \\herman}, -{\bf \\Suzanne}, {\bf \\duMMy } are all good names; however, -{\bf \\jerk3}, {\bf \\don't} and {\bf \\sl} are not. -There is one exception to this rule, you can give the name {\bf \\?} -to an equation, which is what the macro {\bf \\eq} does. -This is useful only if you intend to use it as a temporary name -for an equation that will be referred to once or twice before -the name is redefined. -If you really want to give use numbers for you equation names -roman numerals are all right. -You can name equations {\bf \\eqi},{\bf \\eqii},$\ldots$, -{\bf \\eqix }, etc. - -\section{Other Macros For Naming Equations} - -We have already noted that \TeX\ allows you to put equations -on the left hand side of a line using the macro {\bf \\leqno}. -For this reason, we too need a version of the naming macros -which do the same thing. -The obvious name for such a macro would be {\bf \\leqn} -and it is invoked by typing -\tc{\\leqn\\{\it equation.name}} -If you include this in an equation the number comes out on the left. - -In addition to this obvious addition to the macro set -there are macros meant to be used for the automatic numbering of -aligned equations. -To learn about aligned equations you should read in the \TeX book -or in {\bf First Grade \TeX }. -Assuming that you have done so, let me remind you how about how -aligned equations are generated, in order to set the stage for -explaining how the macros {\bf \\eqinsert}, {\bf \\leqinsert}, -{\bf \\mideqn} and {\bf \\midleqn} work. - -Aligned equations are, as the name implies, a set of equations -which appear one after the other. -In order to make the spacing between these equations look nice -and in order to make them line up so as not to look messy -PLAIN \TeX\ introduces the macro {\bf \\eqalign}. -This macro produces a list of equations which are aligned with -respect to some common feature of each equation, for example -an $=$ sign. -As with single displayed equations \TeX\ allows you to number these -sets of equations as if they are a single equation by using the -commands {\bf \\eqno}, {\bf \\leqno}. -PHYZZX, too, is kind and permits exactly the same thing; to do this you -use the commands {\bf \\eqn} and {\bf \\leqn}. -Since {\bf \\eqalign} is a macro whose argument is the text of the -equations, the way to use {\bf \\eqn}, etc. is to type them -{\it after} the right $\}$ which closes the {\bf \\eqalign} %{ -command. -For example, typing \nextline -{\bf \$\$ \\eqalign$\{$ \\cos $\{$ \\pi \\over {\it 6} $\}$\\ = \& \\ -\\sqrt$\{${\it 3/4}$\}$ \\cr \nextline -\\cos$\{$\\pi\\over{\it 4}$\}$\\ =\&\\ \\sqrt$\{${\it 1/2}$\}$ \\cr -\nextline -\\cos$\{$\\pi\\over{\it 3}$\}$\\ =\&\\ \\sqrt$\{${\it 8}$\}$ \\cr $\}$ -\\eqn\\trig \$\$ }\nextline -yields -$$ \eqalign{\cos{\pi \over 6}\ = &\ \sqrt{3/4} \cr -\cos{\pi\over 4}\ = &\ \sqrt{1/2} \cr -\cos{\pi \over 3}\ =&\ \sqrt{8} \cr} \eqn\trig $$ - -\subsection{Things to Remember About {\bf \\eqalign}} - -\pointbegin -The entire argument of {\bf \\eqalign} must be enclosed in braces. -Successive rows of the equation must be separated by the control -symbol {\bf \\cr} to tell \TeX\ to make a carriage return. -\point -Every row contains two parts (or {\it templates}) separated -by the special tabulation symbol \&. -This symbol tells \TeX\ what character you want to line up in each -line of the set of equations. -If you want half of some of the lines to be empty that is all right, -but the symbol \& must always appear. -Left and right braces within a {\it template} must balance separately. -\point -PLAIN \TeX\ sometimes puts aligned equations too close together. -If you want to force {\bf \\eqalign} to spread the lines apart -somewhat there is a special control symbol for doing this. -All you have to do is type {\bf \\cropen$\{${\it space}$\}$} -instead of {\bf \\cr} at the end of each line. -For example, {\bf \\cropen$\{${\it 12pt}$\}$ } will force -the lines 12pt further apart. -The control sequence {\bf \\crr} is an abbreviation for -{\bf \\cropen$\{${\it 10pt}$\}$}. - -Although it is not obvious from the previous example, {\bf \\eqalign} -won't always put the equation number where you would like it. -For example, if one of the equation lines is very long and -pushes into the right hand margin, then {\bf \\eqalign} will -put the equation number on a separate line below the last equation -in the set. -If, as often happens, there is only one or two long lines and -there is room on one of the other lines for an equation number -you can force \TeX\ to put it there if you wish. -The way to do this is to use the PLAIN \TeX\ control sequence -{\bf \\eqinsert} immediately following the {\bf \\cr} or -{\bf \\cropen} ending the line you wish to have the equation on. -If you type \nextline -{\bf \$\$} $\ldots$ {\bf =\&} $\ldots$ {\bf \\cr \\eqinsert$\{$ -{\it equation.number}$\}$ \$\$ } \nextline -then you get the equation number you specify on the line -indicated. -The corresponding PHYZZX macros which allow you to do this -while at the same time automatically generating a name and number -for the aligned set of equations are -\tc{\\mideqn\\{\it name}} -If you don't want to name the equation at the same time that -you automatically generate a number for it you can simply use -\tc{\\eqinsert\\eq} - -\subsection{Numbering Aligned Equations Independently} - -Sometimes you will wish to generate a set of aligned equations -but refer to each of them individually. -In this case you will wish to be able to number them independently. -PLAIN \TeX\ provides the control sequence {\bf \\eqaligno} -to handle this eventuality. -The command {\bf \\eqaligno} works like {\bf \\eqalign} -except that each equation line consists of three -parts (or {\it templates\/}) separated by the character \&. -The third template is where you put the appropriate label for -that line of the set of equations. -If you wish to number each equation line sequentially without -generating a name, then all you have to do is type \nextline -{\bf \$\$ \\eqaligno $\{$ {\it junk} \& {\it more junk} \& -\\eq \\cr $\}$ \$\$ }\nextline -If, however, you wish to name each line separately -you {\it may not} use the macro {\bf \\eqn}. -It will not work and will give you a peculiar message of the form -{\it you cannot use {\bf \\eqno} inside {\bf \\eqalign}}. -To name individual lines of aligned equations the correct macro -to use is {\bf \\eqnalign $\{$ \\{\it name} $\}$ } as the -entry for the third template followed by the command {\bf \\cr}. -The same command will work in {\bf \\leqaligno} which works -in exactly the same way as {\bf \\eqalign} but puts the contents -of the third template to the left of each equation instead of to -the right. -In general, {\bf \\leqaligno} causes more difficulties than -{\bf \\eqaligno} and you should read about it in the \TeX book -before using it. - -\chapter{REFERENCES, FIGURE CAPTIONS AND TABLE CAPTIONS: -THEIR NAMING AND NUMBERING } - -\section{References: Stuff Which Comes at the Back} - -To this point we have discussed the partitioning of a document -into it's major parts, and the automatic numbering and naming -of equations. -We now come to the question of generating references. -In general a reference is signaled by attaching a -label or reference mark, i.e. -either a superscripted number or a superscripted number -enclosed in delimiters (e.g., braces, brackets or parentheses), -to a specified word in the text. -This number indicates that in the back of the document, on a page -(or pages) labelled REFERENCES, one will find a corresponding -chunk of text prefaced by the same number. -This text will usually be -a reference to work published in some journal -or some comment which is only marginally relevant to the subject -being discussed. -Your problem as typist and editor is to generate the appropriate -number, attach it to the desired word and then type the desired -text into a separate file of text at the same time numbering it -with the corresponding number. -You therefore are faced with several formatting decisions; -namely, how to attach the reference number to the word in -the text, and how to format the references when they are typed -in the back of the paper. -Clearly, there is a real need for a macro -to help you handle this dull and repetitive chore. - -\subsection{What features should such a macro possess ?} - -First it should handle the task of -attaching the desired number to the designated word, and -then it should file away the pertinent text in a form which will -allow it to be printed at the end of the paper. -In addition to the mechanical act of attaching the reference mark and -sending the text to another page, we would also like it -to automatically generate the number for us; so that we don't have to -constantly refer back to the number of the last reference -inserted. -As in the case of equations, this would be nice, since then -the numbering will automatically come out correct even if we -add, delete or move references around. -Finally, since one often cites the same reference -in many places in the text, it would be nice for the macro to -allow us to name a reference (in the same way we named equations) -so that we can cite it without ever knowing exactly -what number PHYZZX has assigned to it.\nextline - -\centerline{PHYZZX \it has the macro capability to do all of this -and more.} - -Since, however, -there are may different ways in which people like to -generate and cite references we had to make the commands for -carrying out these tasks more flexible than those which we -have been discussing to now. -For this reason there are more of them to learn about -and their syntax is a little more complicated. -We will take them one at a time in increasing order of -generality. - -\subsection{Single References} - -Let us deal with the simplest case first. -Suppose you wish to generate a reference, mark the appropriate word -and save the indicated text for printing in the back of the paper. -The command used to accomplish this feat is -{\bf \\ref}. -The syntax of this command is -\tc{ \\ref$\{$\it text$\}$} -where the indicated text is the material which you wish to have -appear in the back of the paper. -For example if you type\ref{This is the place you want to put a -reference}{\bf \\ref$\{$ \it This is the place you want to put a -reference \bf $\}$}; then PHYZZX will, as you see, generate a -reference number, attach it to the word immediately preceding -the macro command and store the text in a file on your A disk. -Each time you invoke the macro {\bf \\ref} it increases the -reference number by 1 and adds the next reference to the file on -your A disk. -Anytime that you wish to print this file all you have to do is -type the command {\bf \\refout}. -Normally, you would wait to do this until the end of the document; -however, to see what happens we will now type {\bf \\refout} to -obtain -\nobreak -\refout - -\referencecount=0 -Note, that the simple command {\bf \\ref} is like the command {\bf \\eq}: -it automatically numbers the reference and stores it away, -however it does not allow you the freedom of naming it. -It is like {\bf \\eq} in another way; -like {\bf \\eq} it automatically -gives the reference the name {\bf \\?}. -This allows you to refer to the last reference until -you do something to redefine {\bf \\?}. -Clearly, this command has only -limited flexibility and one needs a more sophisticated command -to allow you to individually name each reference. -The command which does this is {\bf \\Ref}; the syntax for this -command is -\tc{\\Ref\\{\it name}$\{${\it text of reference}$\}$} -where {\it name} is the name you wish to assign to this -reference and {\it text} is the material which you wish to have -appear on the page of references at the back of the document. -To use the command {\bf \\Ref} you simply begin typing the -appropriate reference immediately following the word to which -the reference number is to be attached. -For example if you type \nextline -$ \ldots $ {\it this is the result obtained by Banks and -Kaplunovsky{\bf \\Ref\\}junkname{\bf $\{$}T.\~\ Banks -and V.\~\ Kaplunovsky \bf $\}$} -you get \nextline -$\ldots$ this is the result -obtained by Banks and Kaplnovsky\Ref{\junkname}{T.~Banks -and V.~Kaplunovsky}\nextline -Note that the word Kaplunovsky has a superscripted version of the -current reference number attached to it and the text has disappeared. -The text is stored away in a file called -{\bf referenc.texauxil}. -This file is automatically stored on your A disk -when the \TeX\ file is processed. -Once again, to print this stuff we type {\bf \\refout} - -\refout - -\noindent If we wish to refer to this reference we need only type -{\it Ref. {\bf \\junkname}} to obtain Ref.\junkname . -Note that when you type {\bf \\junkname} you do not automatically -get a space after the number generated, even if you typed one. -This is because \TeX\ eats a space which appears after a control -sequence. -If you want a space to follow the number you should type -{\bf \\junkname\\ \quad }; i.e., {\bf \\junkname} followed -by a {\bf \\ \it (space)}, which is \TeX 's control sequence for an -extra space. - -\subsection{Gaining Ultimate Control of Referencing} - -Recapping, we see that -the command {\bf \\Ref} basically does for references what {\bf \\eqn} -does for equations. -Ordinarily, {\bf \\Ref} is the most convenient version of the -reference command and will be the one you will use most -often. -There will be situations, however, where you wish to generate a named -reference without generating its reference mark. -For example, you may be typing a formula, or a footnote and wish -to put the superscripted reference mark inside the footnote or formula -(or for that matter, inside some {\bf \\hbox} which you are -defining). -You must be careful because the command -{\bf \\Ref} cannot be used in these situations. -This has to do with the way in which it goes about doing its job. -You really don't have to know the reasons why it won't work, -you just have to know it won't. -This problem is easily solved if you know how to use the most -flexible form of the reference command; namely, the command -\tc{\\REF\\{\it junkname}$\{$ {\it text }$\}$} -As you see the syntax of this command is identical to {\bf \\Ref} -and in fact, it does almost exactly the same thing. -It generates a dummy name ({\bf \\junkname}) and writes the text -material into the file {\bf referenc.texauxil}. -The difference is that when {\bf \\REF} is finished it does not -attach the reference mark to the preceding word. -To attach the reference mark to a specific word you type the command -{\bf \\refend} immediately following that word. -Basically, what {\bf \\Ref} does is invoke the command {\bf \\REF} -immediately followed by the command {\bf \\refend}. -Dividing the reference generating command from the -command which attaches the reference mark -solves all of the aforementioned problems. -If you wish to put a reference in a forbidden place, like a footnote, -or hbox, or formula, all you have to do is use {\bf \\REF} -somewhere before you enter the forbidden territory and then use -{\bf \\refend} immediately following the place where you want the -reference mark. - -\subsection{Generating Your Own Reference Marks} - -Since the referencing commands are the ones which are -most often played with (because -so many people have their own styles for referencing things) it -is worth spending a few moments giving you a better understanding -of the various subcommands which go into their construction. -First, you should know that the current value of the number -assigned to the last reference -is filed away under the name -{\bf \\referencecount}. -To get hold of this number you type -\tc{\\number\\referencecount} -and then \TeX\ will type out the current value of this number. -PHYZZX attaches this number to a word by invoking -the command {\bf \\refmark}. -The syntax of the control sequence {\bf \\refmark} is -\tc{\\refmark$\{$ {\it number or name of reference}$\}$ } -When this command is issued PHYZZX tells \TeX\ to generate a -superscripted version of the material appearing inside the braces -and attach it to the word immediately preceding the place where you -typed this control sequence. -It is not advisable to leave spaces between the word -and the command {\bf \\refmark} (or for that matter {\bf \\ref, \\Ref} -and {\bf \\refend}), -because if space is left it might creep into the text. -The command {\bf \\refmark} does one more thing, it changes the -appearance of the reference mark depending upon whether the paper -is in Nuclear Physics or Physical Review format. - -Since I have referred to {\bf \\refmark} as a subcommand -it is only fair to give an example of how it is used. -One place is in the definition of the command {\bf \\refend}. -PHYZZX defines the command {\bf \\refend} to mean -\tc{\\refmark$\{$\\number\\referencecount$\}$} -Using {\bf \\REF} to define a reference outside -of a forbidden region and using {\bf \\refend} inside this region -to generate the reference mark provides only a partial solution to the -problem we have been discussing. -This is because {\bf \\refend} causes the current value -of {\bf \\referencecount} to be printed. -If, for some reason you wish to delay the printing of -several reference names; or, if you wish to mix and match various -references and stick them in a single reference mark, you can -do this by typing {\bf \\refmark$\{$ \\junkname} $\ldots$ {\bf $\}$} -In this way you can gain all but stylistic control -of your reference marks. -It is still true that {\bf \\refmark} changes the form of the -reference mark depending upon whether the paper is headed for -Phys.Rev. or Nucl.Phys. - -To gain total control of your reference marks -you need to use the command {\bf \\attach}. -The syntax of this command is -\tc{\\attach$\{$ \it stuff \bf $\}$} -What {\bf \\attach} does is put {\it stuff} into math mode, -make a superscript out of it and attach it to the word that -comes before. -It also spaces from that word so as to make the attached -quantity look most natural. -The {\bf \\attach} command does nothing at all to the reference -mark and it is independent of the format of the paper. - -\subsection{Multiple References} - -You have now learned all you should know about generating -single references and taking complete control of the way in which -they generate reference marks. -However, you still do not know everything about the -way in which PHYZZX can handle references. -This is because we have not yet discussed the question of -multiple references. - -{\it What is a multiple reference?} and {\it Why should I care about -multiple references?} you ask. -Good question! -In principle you don't need to care about them at all. -You already have the basic tools for handling any referencing problem -should the need arise, all you need to do is -use the commands {\bf \\REF} and {\bf \\refmark}. -Nevertheless, since multiple references occur frequently, especially -in experimental papers, they merit a special -construct to make them simpler to handle. - -The problem of generating multiple references comes up -when you reach a point in the text where you wish to -add a reference to several authors and at the same time -you do not wish to have this saved as a single reference. -This may happen for several reasons, the principal reason -being that you may wish to refer to some of these references -individually at a later point in the text. -In this case there exists a set of commands which allow you -to do this. -These commands allow you to tell \TeX\ that the material to -follow will define and name several references. -They assign a number to each of these references, -store them away individually and then attach the reference mark \nextline -$\{$ {\it number of first ref. in set -- number of last ref. in set}$\}$ -\nextline -The presence or absence of delimiters (in the form of brackets) depends -upon whether or not you have typed {\bf \\PHYSREV}. -The commands which perform this service are -\tc{\\REFS\\{\it name}\bf$\{$ \it text \bf$\}$} -\tcon{\\REFSCON\\{\it name}\bf $\{$ \it text \bf $\}$} -and -\tc{\\refsend .} - -To use these commands to generate multiple references you invoke -them sequentially. -For example, suppose you wish the next three references to form -a single multiple reference. -Begin by selecting the word to which you wish to attach the -reference mark. -After the word to which you wish to attach the appropriate -reference mark, you type in the first reference -\referencecount=0 -\REFS\first{This is the first reference of a series.} -\REFSCON\second{The papers just mentioned are unimaginative, -stupid, incorrect and besides I did it first.} -\REFSCON\third{I am running out of references.} -by typing \nextline -{\bf \\REFS\\{\it first}\bf $\{$ \it -This is the first reference of a series. \bf $\}$} \nextline -You then type the next reference using the command {\bf \\REFSCON} -as follows \nextline -{\bf \\REFSCON\\{\it second}\bf $\}\{$ \it -The papers just mentioned are unimaginative, -stupid, incorrect and besides I did it first.\bf $\}$} \nextline -In the same way you continue with {\bf \\REFSCON} to generate -all succeeding references. -Hence, to input the third reference you type \nextline -{\bf \\REFSCON\\{\it third}\bf $\{$ \it -I am running out of references. \bf $\}$ } \nextline -You finally cause PHYZZX to generate the reference mark by -typing\refsend -\tc{\\refsend} -after the closing brace of the last reference. -As you see, this set of macros has kept track of the numbers -of the references, filed the text for -each reference away and finally combined the number of the first -and last reference in the set into a single reference mark and -attached it to the word {\it typing}. -To see what has been filed away we type {\bf \\refout} -and obtain - -\refout - -If you wish to generate an automatically numbered multiple -reference but have no need to name the individual references -then we provide the commands {\bf \\refs} and {\bf \\refscon}. -The syntax of these commands are -\tc{\\refs$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$ } -and -\tc{\\refscon$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$ } -The command {\bf \\refs$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$} is equivalent -to {\bf \\REFS\\?$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$ } -and the command {\bf \\refscon$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$} -is equivalent to {\bf \\REFSCON\\?$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$}. -The fact that the name {\bf \\?} is assigned -to each reference in turn makes it less useful than in the command -{\bf \\ref} and so you would not tend to use this command unless -you are typing an already finalized manuscript. - -\subsection{The Problem of Long References } - -First, you we should observe that there is no problem combining -many citations in a single reference. -Obviously, this can be done by typing them in as the argument -of any one of the reference commands. -If, however, you wish to have a series of citations all appear -under the same number, but wish to have them appear on -individual lines all you have to do is follow each one by the -command {\bf \\nextline}. -What {\bf \\nextline} does is generate a neat break and starts -\TeX\ off printing the material which follows at the beginning of -a new line. -The important fact about {\bf \\nextline} is that it preserves -the indentation of the text established by the reference macro. - -This brings us to the second point. -{\it What happens if you wish to have a reference which consists -of several paragraphs ?\/} -Here you have to be careful, since if you use the command {\bf \\par} -or leave a blank line (which amounts to the same thing) -you will spoil the indentation of the text material. -To avoid this a special macro exists called {\bf \\subpar}. -To get vertical space between text in a single reference -type the command {\bf \\subpar} -whenever you would ordinarily insert -the command {\bf \\par} or leave a blank line. -It will accomplish the same feat as {\bf \\par \\noindent} -but it will not mess up the formatting of the reference page. - -Having discussed the way to properly generate long references, we -now come to the problems this will cause. -The fact is, \TeX\ has trouble writing long lines to -an external file. -Since, as far as \TeX\ is concerned the argument of any one of -the reference macros is just one long line, there will come the -time when \TeX\ will complain in a mysterious way. -If you are running interactively it will issue a horrible looking -PASCAL error message (sending the unforwarned into a case of -cardiac arrest) and then continue with its processing. -Since \TeX\ will resume processing after this frightening hiatus -you will promptly recover, shake your head and say {\it Ain't -computers peculiar?\/}. -You will also, in all probability, ignore the fact that it happened. -This will be a mistake. -If you look in {\bf referenc.texauxil} on your A disk, you will find -that \TeX\ has found one of the references is too long -and has chopped it off, replacing most of the text by -{\bf \\ETC}. -I presume that in general this will not be what you intended. -\nextline -\titlestyle{\twelvepoint \it Have no fear, PHYZZX is here !}\nextline -There is a control sequence which solves this problem; unfortunately, -it is not a really neat solution. -The solution is to go back into the reference and type -{\bf \\splitout} at various places in the text. -This command tells \TeX\ to begin sending a new line to the -file. -As I said, this is a solution but not an elegant one. -We are saddened that the elegant solution has escaped us and -hope that a \TeX pert out there will tell us a better way to proceed. - -\subsection{Questions of Style} - -Sometimes you will wish to attach a reference mark to a word -which is immediately followed by a comma. -This presents you with two choices neither of which produce -truly satisfactory text. -If you type \nextline -\ $\ldots $ {\it this is the place,}{\bf \\refend} \nextline -you get \nextline -$\ldots $ this is the place,\refend \nextline -and if you type \nextline -$\ldots $ {\it this is the place}{\bf \\refend}, \nextline -you get -$\ldots $ this is the place\refend , \nextline -In the first case the reference mark is really attached to the -comma, causing an unsightly extra amount of space; -in the second case the reference mark separates the word from -the comma, which is even worse. -The way out of this predicament is to make use of Knuth's -command {\bf \\rlap} -If you type \nextline -$\ldots $ {\it this is the place}{\bf \\rlap},{\bf \\refend} \nextline -you get \nextline -$\ldots $ this is the place\rlap,\refend \nextline -which is much better. -Obviously the same trick applies to the macros -{\bf \\refsend}, {\bf \\refmark}, {\bf \\ref}, {\bf \\Ref} and -{\bf \\attach}. - -Because of the way references work you always get a single -space after an attached reference. -Basically this means that if you attach the reference mark to -the last word in a sentence, the next sentence will start too -close. -There is a way out of this dilemma. -Type \nextline -{\it the end of the world}{\bf \\rlap}.{\bf \\refend\\ \quad} -The next\nextline -which will produce \nextline -the end of the world\rlap .\refend\ The next \nextline -The {\bf \\ \quad} forces more space between the sentences. - -Finally, if you need a reference followed by a colon and want -to get rid of the extra space that the reference macro puts in -simply type {\bf \\refend\\unskip}. -The command {\bf \\unskip} is a Knuth construct which eats -the last extra space you entered. -(Actually, it eats the last bit of glue that -was inserted into the text, but that is a matter for \TeX perts.) - -\subsection{Typing Journal Entries: A Convenient Macro } - -Since many of the references which appear in a paper are -citations of articles appearing in various physics journals -we have a special macro to handle this problem. -The reason one uses a macro to do this is that \TeX perts -are expected to typeset such references with the journal name -in as slanted ({\bf \\sl}) font, the volume number in boldface -({\bf \\bf}) font and the remaining text in roman ({\bf \\rm}) font. -You can either remember to do all of this or you can use the -command {\bf \\journal}. -The syntax of this command is -\tc{\\journal{\it journal name}{\bf \&}{\it volume number}% -{\bf (}{\it year}\bf )} -This command is used inside any -one of the reference commands as follows: -if you want to obtain the same result as typing \nextline -{\bf \\ref$\{$ \it T.\~\ Banks and V.\~\ Kaplunovsky \bf \\sl -\it Nucl. Phys. \bf \~\ -\\bf \it B211 \bf \\rm \it (1983) 529 \bf $\}$} \nextline -you need only type \nextline -{\bf \\ref$\{$ \it T.\~\ Banks and V.\~\ Kaplunovsky \bf -\\journal \it Nucl.Phys.\bf \& \it B211 (83) 529 $\}$} -This will produce a reference entry of the form \nextline -\refitem{1.} T.~Banks and V.~Kaplunovsky \journal Nucl.Phys. & B211 (83) -529 - -Note, the blanks before {\bf \\journal}, before and after the -character {\bf \&} and before and after the {\it (year)} are -optional. -If everything is working as it should they will have no effect -on the final result. -On the other hand, be careful about blanks within the parentheses; -if you put them in they will appear. -Thus, typing ( 83 ) produces a different result from typing (83). -The first will result in the journal year being typed as 19 83 -and not 1983 which is, presumably, the desired result. - -\section{Figures and Tables} - -There are two other things which tend to appear at the end -of a paper and to which one refers in the text. -These are Figure Captions and Table Captions. -In general these things come up as you are typing -in some text and decide {\it Aha! This is a good place for a figure -(or table)}. -As with equations and references, it is convenient to be able -to generate a number for this figure(table), name it and file -away the text of the figure caption (or something which will remind -you what figure you wanted to put there) in a file called -{\bf figures.texauxil} (or {\bf tables.texauxil}) to be printed -at the end of the paper. -The commands which accomplish this feat are -\tc{\\FIG\\{\it name}\bf$\{$ \it text $\}$} -and -\tc{\\TABLE\\{\it name}\bf $\{$ \it text \bf $\}$} -As in all other variants of this naming convention, -{\bf \\name} will be the name of the figure (or table) -generated, and {\it text} is the material to be stored away -in a file on your A disk. -These commands work like the reference or equation commands -in that the numbering is automatic and -will always be correct no matter how you subsequently modify the -text. -The commands, analagous to {\bf \\refout}, which print the -list of figure or table captions are -\tc{\\figout} -and -\tc{\\tabout} -which should come as no big surprise. - -There is a fundamental way in which the figure and table caption -macros differ from the reference macros; namely, they do not -automatically generate a reference mark. -This is because you normally want to say something like \nextline -$\ldots$ {\it as you can see from Fig. 7 } \nextline -or something like that. -The basic macros, i.e. {\bf \\FIG} or {\bf \\TABLE} permit -you to type this in as you please. -For example, one way to have \TeX\ generate the line above -is to type \nextline \figurecount=7 -{$\ldots $ \it as you can see from \bf \\FIG\\?$\{$ \it text -\bf $\}$} Fig.{\bf \~\ \\?} \nextline -which will produce \nextline -$\ldots $ as you can see in \FIG{\?}{this is the picture of the Mona -Lisa generated as a fractile} Fig.~\? \nextline -Obviously, using this form of the command (either for a figure or -a table) you have total control of what follows. -Moreover, for simplicity I chose to name the figure {\bf \\?} -since I only intended to refer to it this one time. -It is clear that I could have given it any name. - -For those of you who are happy to use the command exactly in this -way, i.e. to name the figure {\bf \\?}, file away the caption -and then type either {\it Fig.\~\ \\?} or {\it fig.\~\ \\?} -there are two macros, named {\bf \\Fig} and {\bf \\fig} -respectively. -The syntax of these commands is somewhat simpler; namely, -\tc{\\Fig$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$} -and -\tc{\\fig$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$ } -They are the analogues of the set of reference macros which -automatically generate a reference mark whose name is {\bf \\?} -after filing away the text of the figure caption. -What they do is first execute the command \nextline -\tc{\\FIG\\?$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$} -and then follow this by either Fig.\~\ or fig.\~\ . -The analagous macro for tables is -\tc{\\Table$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$} -which performs the same task as typing -\tc{\\TABLE\\?$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$ \rm Table\bf \~\ \\?} - -This completes our discussion of macros associated with {\it things -which come at the back}. - -\chapter{FOOTNOTES: THINGS WHICH COME AT THE BOTTOM} - -Everybody knows what a footnote is and you have already seen an -example of a footnote appearing on page~5. -Basically what a footnote macro has to do is -attach a footnote mark to a specified word and then -file away material to be put at the bottom of the page -(in ten point type). -The macro has to decide what to do if the footnote is too long, -or if many footnotes appear on the same page. -In addition, it has to decide what footnote mark to generate. -PHYZZX has two macros which carry out this feat. - -The first macro, {\bf \\foot}, has the syntax -\tc{\\foot$\{$ \it text $\}$} -where the text of the footnote is to be inserted between the -braces. -When you invoke this command immediately following the word -to which you want to attach a footnote mark it does several -things. -First it generates the footnote mark and attaches it to the -preceding word. -If you are in the Nucl.Phys. format, this symbol will automatically -be chosen from the set of symbols $\star$, $\dagger$, $\ast$, -$\ddagger$, $\natural$, $\diamond$, $\bullet$ and $\nabla$. -The macro will continually cycle through this table, according -to a specified algorithm, in such a way that the same symbol -will not (except in truly extraordinary circumstances) appear twice -on a single page. -If you are in PHYSREV mode, then the footnote mark will be a -superscripted $\sharp$ sign followed by the current value of -{\bf \\number\\footsymbolcount}. -This is a truly ugly convention, however it is included only -to provide something for people who insist on numbering footnotes. -Actually, Phys.Rev. does not like footnotes and preferes this -material be included in with the references as endnotes. - -Note, that as with references, the text of a footnote is -indented using the \TeX\ command {\bf \\hangindent}, -hence to insert multi-paragraph footnotes one cannot use the {\bf \\par} -command but must use instead the {\bf \\subpar} command. -If you don't do this, but use {\bf \\par} (or equivalently insert a -blank line) then \TeX\ will, obligingly, turn off the {\bf \\hangindent}. -This will, of course, mess up the footnote considerably. - -\subsection{Hints and Warnings} - -Since footnotes use \TeX 's basic {\bf \\insert} command, -they are meant to be used in {\it unrestricted horizontal mode}. -In other words, you use them inside paragraphs, but outside -of {\bf \\hbox}, {\bf \\centerline} or similar commands. -If you don't understand the meaning of the phrase {\it unrestricted -horizontal mode} you should read about it in the \TeX book, -or in {\bf First Grade \TeX }. -This fact means that one has to be careful in attempting combine -certain other control sequences with the {\bf \\foot} command. - -\pointbegin -Do not define references, figure captions, table captions, etc., -inside the text of a footnote. -If you must put a reference mark inside a footnote use the command -{\bf \\REF} somewhere before you start the footnote and then -use {\bf \\refend} inside the text of the footnote. - -\point -If you choose to invoke a footnote when you are in vertical mode -between paragraphs, then the footnote, complete with its footnote -mark, will be generated; however, since there is nothing to -attach this mark to, no superscripted footnote mark will appear. -Since the command will generate a footnote mark, the counter -{\bf \\footsymbolcount} will be advanced and so, insofar as PHYZZX -is concerned, the symbol is waiting around to be used. -Hence, if you wish to attach this symbol to a word at a later point -this can be accomplished by use of the subcommand {\bf \\footattach}. -All you have to do to use {\bf \\footattach} is type it immediately -following the word to which you wish to attach the footnote mark. -This command works just like {\bf \\attach} or {\bf \\refmark} -except that it attaches the current footnote mark and knows whether -to use Nucl.Phys. or Phys.Rev. format. - -\point -We already noted that if you wish to attach a footnote -inside of a box (either horizonatal or vertical) -the way to do it is to use {\bf \\foot} after the previous paragraph -has ended, but before you make the box in question. -Then use the command {\bf \\footattach} inside the box. -What happens if you need to attach the footnote mark -to something inside a box which appears inside a paragraph? -In this case you can use the PLAIN command {\bf \\vadjust} -to accomplish this feat. -Simply type -\tc{\\vadjust$\{$ \it text \bf $\}$\\nobreak} -immediately before the box and then use {\bf \\footattach} inside -the box. - -\subsection{Controlling Your Footnote Marks} - -Once again, this section is for those who wish to go beyond -the mundane and use unusual symbols for their footnotes. -This can be done by using the PHYZZX command -\tc{\\footnote$\{$ \it symbol \bf $\}\{$ \it text \bf $\}$ } -which will generate a footnote using the {\it symbol} you have -specified as the footnote mark. -The symbol can be any math mode symbol, or any outr\'e thing -that you can think up. -The symbol does have to be in math mode, so if it is something -you made up instead of a math mode control sequence, be sure to -{\bf \\hbox} it and enclose it in \$ signs. - -\chapter{ITEMIZED LISTS: POINTS, ITEMS AND OTHER STUFF} - -You now have all of the necessary information to allow you -to use PHYZZX to format a paper for the printer: you can -tell him to set up chapter, section and subsection headings; -number equations; format the reference, figure caption and -table caption page; format footnotes, keep track of how -many are on a page and carry them over to succeeding pages if -it is necessary. -From a stylistic point of view there is nothing more for you -to learn about papers. -Using the basic commands defined in PLAIN \TeX\ and those -PHYZZX macros which we have already discussed, you are now -capable of generating a paper of the correct style to be -the body of a SLAC preprint. -What we have not discussed to this point are things like macros for -title pages and macros which make typing special constructions -simpler than they would be in PLAIN. - -In this section we will discuss a set of -macros which make the construction -of {\it itemized lists} particularly easy to achieve. -Itemized lists appear most often when one is outlining a paper -and trying to arrange the material in some systematic fashion. -This sort of outline shows up in memos and the introduction to a -paper. -Itemized lists also appear in the body of the text when one wants -to make a series of points and, at the same time, clearly separate them -from the format of the general body of the text. - -Lists of this sort are conventionally set up as a series of indented -paragraphs preceded by some sort of highlighting symbol. -This symbol can be a number, letter, roman numberal or some math -mode symbol such as a dot, star, diamond, etc. -When used in writing outlines, etc., one indicates the major divisions of -the outline by indenting the text associated with -them some fixed amount and highlighting this text with a specific -type of symbol. -When itemizing the ideas which fall within each major division, one -usually indents the text somewhat more than one did for the major -divisions and highlights each of these sub-points with a symbol -which differs in type from those used to highlight the major points. -One then further subdivides each of these categories into smaller -steps and indicates this fact by once again increasing the amount of -indentation and once again changing the type of highlighting symbol used. -So on ad-infinitum $\ldots$ - -Obviously, at least for those of you who have read the \TeX book, -all of this can be done using the commands {\bf \\hangindent} -and {\bf \\hangafter}. -However, if one is creating long lists of points, subpoints, -subsubpoints, etc., then keeping track of the symbols and -appropriate levels of indentation can get to be a problem. -For this reason PHYZZX provides a series of macros to make this as simple -as possible. -As in the previous cases, we will begin by discussing the -fixed format versions of the macros, which are the ones which are easiest -to use, and go on to discuss the ones which allow you greater flexibility. - -\section{Fixed Format Lists: Points, Subpoints, Subsubpoints} - -\subsection{Points} - -The macros {\bf \\point},{\bf \\subpoint} and {\bf \\subsubpoint} -exist to make it easy to deal with itemized -lists having up to three levels -of indentation. -The first level of indentation is the smallest and is generated by -typing the command {\bf \\point} followed by the text associated with that -point. -Note that unlike the reference or footnote macros, -the text associated with -a {\bf \\point} {\it does not} need to be enclosed in braces. -Points, etc. are constructed using the {\bf \\hangindent} command -and so \TeX\ accepts all of the text up to the next {\bf \\par} (or blank -line) and formats it as you desire. -For this reason, if a point is to consist of more than one paragraph -{\it do not use the {\bf \\par} command to generate the second paragraph} -but, instead, use the special command {\bf \\subpar}. -In addition to indenting the material to follow, the command -{\bf \\point} also generates a number for the point and attaches it -to the left of the first line. -You have seen examples of points in other parts of this writeup; go back -and look at them if my sentences are confusing. -Each time you type {\bf \\point} -PHYZZX generates a new paragraph, increases -the number of the last point by one and appends this to the left of the -first line of the new point. -Obviously, this works well until you finish with a given set of points -and then decide you want to make a new list of points at a later point -in the same paper. -Except in unusual circumstances you would like the first item on this -list to be labelled 1, and not start up from the number assigned to -the last point in the previous list. -To avoid this sort of calamity you use a special command to begin -a new set of points namely, the command {\bf \\pointbegin}. -(Clearly this choice of nomenclature is far -from sprightly and imaginative, -but it is easy to guess what the correct command is even if you -have forgotten it.) - -As an example suppose you type \nextline -{\bf \\pointbegin} \nextline -This is the first point I wish to make. \nextline -{\bf \\point} \nextline -This is the second point. \nextline -{\bf \\point} \nextline -I am not very imaginative, so this is the third point. \nextline -You then obtain -\pointbegin -This is the first point I wish to make. -\point -This is the second point. -\point -I am not very imaginative, so this is the third point. - -\noindent -You then return to typing ordinary text by following the text of -the last point in your list with a {\bf \\par} or blank line. - -\subsection{Subpoints and Subsubpoints} - -The format of a subpoint is that it is indented further and -highlighted by lower case letters enclosed in parentheses. -The command for generating a subpoint is {\bf \\subpoint} -and, as with points, each time you type {\bf \\subpoint} -you automatically generate the next letter in the alphabet -as a highlight. -As with points, in order to start the numbering over again -you start each set of subpoints by typing -{\bf \\subpointbegin} instead of {\bf \\subpoint}. -For example, typing \nextline -{\bf \\pointbegin} \nextline -This is the first point I wish to make. \nextline -{\bf \\subpointbegin} \nextline -This is the first subpoint. \nextline -{\bf \\subpoint} \nextline -This is the second subpoint \nextline -{\bf \\subpoint} \nextline -Etc. \nextline -{\bf \\point} \nextline -This is the second point. \nextline -will generate -\pointbegin -This is the first point I wish to make. -\subpointbegin -This is the first subpoint. -\subpoint -This is the second subpoint -\subpoint -Etc. -\point -This is the second point. - -Subsubpoints are the last automatically provided subdivision -and are generated using the commands {\bf \\subsubpointbegin} -and {\bf \\subsubpoint}. -They are indented still further and highlighted by lower case -roman numerals enclosed in parentheses. -I leave it to you to generate you own examples of subsubpoints, -the syntax is completely similar to that of the previous examples. - -The command {\bf \\spoint} is acceptable as an abbreviation -for {\bf \\subpoint}. -Abbreviations for the other commands are similar; i.e., -\settabs 3 \columns -\+ {\bf \\spointbegin} & for &{\bf \\subpointbegin} \cr -\+ {\bf \\sspoint} & for & {\bf \\subsubpoint} \cr -and -\+ {\bf \\sspointbegin} & for & {\bf \\subsubpointbegin} \cr - -\section{For Less Structure Consider Items} - -There will come the time, especially for those of you who learn -to use \TeX\ to generate transparencies, when you want to be able -generate itemized lists, but you don't want the highlighting -to happen automatically. -Instead you might like to generate stuff with a {\bf \\bullet} -or an {\bf \\ast} as a highlight. -For those among you who are left brain dominated and -feel the need for a macro set which -takes care of the boring details of indentation, but allows -you to play fast and loose with the highlights, -PHYZZX provides the macros -\tc{\\item$\{$ \it symbol \bf $\}$} -\tc{\\subitem$\{$ \it symbol \bf $\}$} -and -\tc{\\subsubitem$\{$ \it symbol $\}$} -(The last two commands can be abbreviated as {\bf \\sitem} and -{\bf \\ssitem} respectively.) - -\item\bullet -For example, this item was generated by typing {\bf \\item\\bullet}. -Note that I did not put {\bf \\bullet} in braces since it -is a single control sequence. If I had, however, it would have -done no harm. -Spaces and blank lines before {\bf \\item} are irrelevant, -however, since {\bf \\bullet} is a control sequence and eats -one space following it, you have to have at least one blank -after {\it symbol}. -Once again I caution you that if you put a blank line or {\bf \\par} -after {\bf \\item} and before the text, or inside a multiparagraph -{\bf \\item}, then you destroy the level of indentation. -{\it Remember, indentation only holds for a single paragraph in \TeX .} - -\item\ast -As a second example consider this item which was generated by -typing {\bf \\item\\ast} - -\item\dash -Or this, which was generated by typing {\bf \\item\\dash}. - -At this point I have inserted a blank line in my text and have -caused the item to terminate and the text reverts to its ordinary -format. - -\item\clubsuit -This is item {\bf \\item\\clubsuit} - -\sitem\diamondsuit -And this is {\bf \\sitem\\diamondsuit} - -\ssitem\dash -Finally, this is a subsubitem; \nextline -it was generated by typing -{\bf \\ssitem\\dash}. - -\section{Having Your Cake and Eating It Too!} - -Clearly, the {\bf \\item},{\bf \\sitem} and {\bf \\ssitem} -macros provide you with the ultimate in flexibility -in the choice of highlighting conventions. -With them alone you can choose your own format for numbered lists -and never have to accept the format imposed by {\bf \\point}, etc. -However, the total lack of structure of {\bf \\item}, etc. -has a drawback; namely, if you use it to define your points, subpoints -etc., you are responsible for keeping track of all of the numbering. -This is certainly not too -formidable a task, but it can get tedious. \nextline -\centerline{\it Fortunately, there is a middle ground.} - -\subsection{Levels of Indentation} - -If all that you want to do is change the levels of indentation -of points, subpoints and subsubpoints you only have to modify -the parameter {\bf \\itemsize}. -This parameter is a dimension stored away in \TeX 's memory -and items are indented {\bf 1.0\\itemsize}, subitems are indented -{\bf 1.75\\itemsize} and subsubitems are indented {\bf 2.5\\itemsize}. -The current value of {\bf \\itemsize} is 30pt (30 points); -however, you can change this by simply typing -\tc{\\itemsize = \it 40pt} -or whatever else strikes your fancy. - -\subsection{Getting More Serious} - -Let us suppose, although I cannot imagine that this could possibly -be the case, that you have more serious problems with points, subpoints -and subsubpoints. -Perhaps you would prefer to define your own listing macros -so that {\bf \\mypoint} generates a point whose highlight -is a capital letter followed by a period; {\bf \\myspoint} -generates a subpoint highlighted by a number square brackets; -and {\bf \\mysspoint} generates a subsubpoint highlighted -by a lowercase letter in parentheses. -You have two options, you can write your own macro set -or you can use the PHYZZX command {\bf \\newlist}. - -The command {\bf \\newlist} allows you to define your own -listing macros which format things in a manner which is closer -to your heart's desire. -All you have to decide is what sort of delimiters you want -around the highlighting number and what you want the numbering -convention for that level of point to be. -Your available choices are the five defined when we discussed -changing chapterstyle; namely, {\bf \\Number}, -{\bf Alphabetic}, {\bf \\alphabetic}, -{\bf \\Roman} or {\bf \\roman}. - -The syntax of the newlist command is as follows -\tc{\\newlist\\{\it name}= \it [left delim.][style]\& [right delim.] \& -[dimen]; } -(Note that the =, \& , and ; all count.) -As an example of its application note that the {\bf \\point} -command is defined by saying -\tc{\\newlist\\point=\\Number\&.\&1.0\\itemsize;} -This line tells PHYZZX to define a new command called -{\bf \\point} and to have it generate a highlighting symbol -which consists of no left delimiter, followed by a number, -followed by a right delimiter which is a period and the indentation -of a point is to be {\bf 1.0\\itemsize}. -Similarly, subpoints are defined to be -\tc{\\newlist\\subpoint=(\\alphabetic\&)\&1.75\\itemsize;} -and subsubpoints are defined by saying -\tc{\\newlist\\subsubpoint=(\\roman\&)\&2.5\\itemsize;} -The abbreviations for {\bf \\subpoint} and {\bf \\subsubpoint} -are obtained by following their definition with the -statements -\tc{\\let\\spoint=\\subpoint} -\tcon{\\let\\sspoint=\\subsubpoint} -Note, if you have chosen to redefine {\bf \\subpoint} -and {\bf \\subsubpoint} using newlist, the commands {\bf \\spoint} -and {\bf \\sspoint} will {\it not} be redefined unless you follow -your newlist instructions with the two lines printed above. - -To define the new set of listing macros mentioned earlier you would type -\tc{\\newlist\\mypoint=\\Alphabetic\&.\&1.0\\itemsize;} -\tcon{\\newlist\\myspoint=[\\number \& ]\& 1.75\\itemsize;} -and -\tc{\\newlist\\mysspoint=(\\alphabetic\& )\& \\2.5\\itemsize;} -Note, while there are only five styles available for numbering -things, delimiters are limited only by your imagination. - -\chapter{MISCELLANEOUS STUFF ABOUT PAPERS} - -\section{Page Numbers} - -Page numbering is a totally automatic procedure -and, in general, requires none of your attention. -Normally, if you are not doing anything funny PHYZZX will -produce a document whose pages are numbered consecutively -starting from 1. -In general the first page you get will be numbered, unless -you have told PHYZZX not to do so. -The macros {\bf \\FRONTPAGE}, {\bf \\MEMO}, {\bf \\letter} -and {\bf \\titlepage} do issue such a command, and when -invoked produce a document where all pages but the -first page are numbered consecutively. -If you type {\bf \\FRONTPAGE} then PHYZZX will complete the previous -page (if there is any), set the current value of the page number to -1 and then tells \TeX\ not to number this page. -Visible numbers appear at the bottom of all the pages which follow -and the first visible number is 2. -The command {\bf \\Frontpage} is a synonym for {\bf \\FRONTPAGE}. -The {\bf \\letter} and {\bf \\MEMO} macros, which -will be discussed later, -and the {\bf \\titlepage} macro, which is invoked when you are about -to type the title page of your latest magnum opus, all suppress -the printing of the pagenumber at the bottom of the first page. - -If you wish to start a document in the middle and set the pagenumber -all you have to do is reset the counter called, of all things, -{\bf \\pagenumber} by typing -\tc{\\pagenumber= \it number} -This will make the first page \TeX\ prints have this number. -To make sure that the printing of this number is not suppressed -you should also type {\bf \\frontpagefalse}. -If you wish to have PHYZZX number the pages using roman numerals -you can accomplish this by saying {\bf \\pagenumber=-1} -(or {\bf \\pagenumber=-n} if you wish to start with the roman -numeral equivalent to the number n). - -\item\dash -If you wish no pagenumbers type {\bf \\nopagenumbers} -(be careful, its not easy to make them come back afterwards). -\item\star -If you want to suppress the page number on a particular page you -can type {\bf \\frontpagetrue}, which will make PHYZZX -think that this is the front page. -You'll sometimes have to play to make this happen where you want. - -\section{Spacing} - -We have already talked about changing font sizes and selecting -spacing, and have pointed out that three families of fonts are -available. -These are fonts which are fourteen points high, twelve points -high and tenpoints high. -The twelvepoint font is the font PHYZZX uses for normal text -because it looks best when reduced. -The fourteenpoint fonts are used for chapter titles, etc., and -the tenpoint font sets, which are kind of small when reduced, -are generally reserved for footnotes. -To change font size at will you type either -{\bf \\tenpoint}, or {\bf \\twelvepoint}, or -{\bf \\fourteenpoint}. -To change spacing conventions you use the commands -{\bf \\singlespace}, or {\bf \\normalspace} -or {\bf \\doublespace}. -Note that all of these commands can be used inside the paper -to temporarily change what is going on; -however, you should only invoke the -commands which change spacing when you are between paragraphs. -If you violate this rule, eventually, you -will be sorry. - -\section{Commands Which Break Lines and Pages} - -\TeX\ has its own way of breaking lines and pages and you can learn -about them by reading the \TeX book. -However, we have added three commands which are convenient. -The first command {\bf \\nextline} allows you to generate and -incomplete line. -For example, typing {\it This is the way the world ends \bf \\nextline} -produces \nextline -This is the way the world ends \nextline -Notice that \TeX\ has not tried to space the words out to fill -the line the way it would have if you had typed {\bf \\break}. -The command {\bf \\nextline} is essentially the same as typing -{\bf \\hfil\\break}; it differs slightly in that it also -does some things about glue, but you don't have to know about that. - -The command which forces \TeX\ to break the page at will -is {\bf \\endpage}. -Typing this command forces \TeX\ to start a new page -and at the same time it insures that even if the previous page -is not completely full of text the material will be spaced correctly. - -The command with which you finish a paper, memo, letter, etc., -is {\bf \\bye}. -This command tells \TeX\ to complete the last page, print it and -then turn itself off, returning you to CMS. - -\section{Some Remarks About Penalties} - -There are a few commands, which belong to PLAIN and not PHYZZX -which you should know about. -The basic command which allows you to tell \TeX\ that you -would advise it that this is a good or bad place to break -a page or line of text is {\bf \\penalty}. -Penalties can be either positive or negative. -If a penalty is positive it tells \TeX\ that this is not a good -place to put in a break. -The bigger the penalty is, the worse \TeX\ thinks it is to cause -a break at this point. -The biggest allowable penalty is {\bf \\penalty 10000}. -If you type {\bf \\penalty 10000} at a specific point in the text -than \TeX , as the printer, will assume that no matter what his -judgement tells him, you insist that no break can occur at this -point. -\TeX\ defines a control sequence {\bf \\nobreak} which equivalent -to typing {\bf \\penalty 10000}. -If the penalty is negative, then \TeX\ is advised that you -believe this point to be a good place to cause a break. -The more negative the penalty, the better you think this place is. -If the penalty is negative and greater than --10000, then \TeX\ will -use its own judgement to balance off your suggestion against its -own esthetic criteria. -If the penalty is -10000 (or less), then you are telling \TeX\ -that your judgement must carry the day. -The abbreviation of {\bf \\penalty -10000} is {\bf \\break}. - -Note that using the -same commands inside paragraphs and between paragraphs -tell \TeX\ to do different things. -Inside of a paragraph {\bf \\break} tells \TeX\ to break the -current line at this point, between paragraphs it tells \TeX\ -to break the page. -If you wish to force \TeX\ to break the page inside a paragraph, -without terminating the paragraph, you have to type -\tc{\\vadjust\\break} - - -\section{The Titlepage} - -We have now finished with our discussion of macros which PHYZZX -defines for simplifying the formatting of the body of a paper. -To complete our discussion of the paper generating capabilities -of PHYZZX we now have to turn to the question of generating -the title page. -A SLAC title page has several parts. -\pointbegin -First, in the upper right hand corner of the title page -one has the publication number, date of submission and -a line telling whether this paper is to be distributed as -T, E or T/E . -This chunk of text has to be set up as a block with the -appropriate typeface chosen for each line and then the -entire block is right adjusted. -This block is referred to as the pub-block -\point -Next comes the title of the paper, which is set in fourteen point -type and this is followed by the list of authors and the -institutions they come from. -\point -After the title and author list you have a choice. -If you have a short abstract it is included at this point -and printed on the title page. -If, however, the abstract is too long, it will not fit -on the title page. -In this event you skip it and put it on the next page of the paper. -\point -After the abstract, or after the title and author list if the abstract -is too long, we have a line which tells the journal to which the -preprint has been submitted. -\point -The next line ends the main body of the title page. -After this line the remaining material, which are contract -acknowledgements, etc., are put at the bottom page in footnote format. - -As you can see from this discussion the problem of formatting -the title page can get to be quite difficult if we don't have -special macros to help out. -For this reason a special set of macros for formatting title pages -has been included in PHYZZX. - -\subsection{The Publication Block or Pub-block} - -The first commands which you use relate to setting up the -block of type which gives the date, publication number, etc. -If you do not want such a block, you type -\tc{\\nopubblock} -If, as will usually be the case you want a pub-block, then -you have to specify what goes into it. -To specify the publication number you type -\tc{\\pubnum$\{$\it number \bf$\}$} -This causes PHYZZX to put the quantity {\bf \\pubnum} into -the publication number. -When you start the quantity {\bf \\pubnum} is {\bf 0000}. - -The next item which appears in the macro is the date. -If you do nothing, then each time you run \TeX\ to produce a new -copy of the file it will put the current date in this place. -If you wish to set the date to printed by yourself, then you type -\tc{ \\date = $\{$ \it month day, year \bf $\}$ } -Note the braces around the entry because they have to be there. - -Finally, the last thing that has to specified for the pub-block -is the pubtype, which is either T, E, or T/E. -To specify this quantity you type -\tc{\\pubtype=$\{$ \it publication type \bf $\}$} - -\subsection{Specifying the Titlepage} - -The next macro which has to be invoked is -\tc{\\titlepage} -This is a single control sequence which you type in just before the -titlepage. This command must follow the setting of the -{\bf \\pubnum}, {\bf \\date} and {\bf \\pubtype} -or you will only get the default values for these quantities. -What this macro does is tell \TeX\ that this is the titlepage of the -document and it should not be numbered. - - -\subsection{Typesetting the Title} - -The next item to be typed is the title of the paper. -Since this is set in different size type and requires a certain -amount of spacing above and below the text, you should use the -macro {\bf \\title}. -The syntax of this command is -\tc{\\title$\{$ \it title \bf $\}$} -You are now ready to type in the name and institution of the author (or -authors) of the paper. - -\subsection{Getting the Author(s) Right} - -If there is a single author you type -\tc{\\author$\{$ \it author's name \bf $\}$} -This is, of course to be followed by his address. -PHYZZX will set the name in upper and lower case capital letters -and center it on the page. -Then, if you use the macro {\bf \\address} PHYZZX will typeset the -address in italics and center it -directly below the author's name. -The syntax of this macro is -\tc{\\address$\{$ \it address \bf $\}$} -In general PHYZZX will let \TeX\ decide how to break the address -into several lines if it is too long. -If you wish to force these breaks use the command {\bf \\break}. -Note, this is a place where you do not want to use the command -{\bf \\nextline} or you will force the address to come out -without having been properly centered. -For those lucky persons who live at SLAC, there is a special macro -to save them typing. -This macro has the name {\bf \\SLAC} and if you wish to tell PHYZZX -that your address is SLAC all you have to type -\tc{\\SLAC} -If the author of the paper is a visitor, or is here on detached service, -then you might want to give two addresses. -To have \TeX\ print the second address below the first with the -word {\it and} in between, all you have to do is type -\tc{\\andaddress$\{$ \it second address \bf $\}$} - -If the paper has more than one author you have two options. -If the number of authors is small and they come from different -institutions, then you use the macro {\bf \\andauthor} -whose syntax is -\tc{\\andauthor$\{$ \it author's name \bf $\}$} -This does what the {\bf \\author} command does but it also -precedes this name with a line which has the word {\it and} -centered above the author's name. -This command is then to be followed by {\bf \\address} in order to -give the address of the second author. -This can go on as long as you like. - -All of this works well for theorists, however it does not work -well for experimental papers. -Experimantal collaborations tend to involve many authors from -several different institutions. -All we can do in this situation is to type the command -{\bf \\authors} and then follow this with a list of authors -and institutions. -All this command does for you is put the correct amount of -space between the list of authors and the material preceding it. - -\subsection{Setting up the Abstract} - -At this point you have to decide whether or not you want to -include the abstract on the titlepage. -If you wish to do so this is the time to type -{\bf \\abstract}. -This will cause \TeX\ to typeset the word ABSTRACT in the center -of the next line of text, skip the appropriate amount of space -and set you up in a new paragraph. -The next thing you do is type in the body of the abstract. -If you don't put the abstract on the titlepage then you -carry out this sequence of commands after you have finished the -titlepage with the command {\bf \\endpage}. -After you type in the abstract on the second page you should force -\TeX\ to print this as a separate page by once again typing -{\bf \\endpage}. -This will produce an abstract on its own page with white space -above and below the text. - -If you are in the situation of having an abstract which is too -long for the title page but too short to fill the entire -second page you will get ugly output if you type it in -and follow it with the command {\bf \\endpage}. -\TeX\ will simply shove everything to the top of the -page because {\bf \\endpage} is the same as {\bf \\vfil\\break}. -The way to force \TeX\ to center the title and material is to type -\tc{\\vfil} -\tcon{\\abstract} -\tcon{\it text of abstract} -\tcon{\\endpage} - -\subsection{Where's The Paper Going?} - -In order to specify the journal to which you have submitted the paper -you type -\tc{\\submit$\{$ \it journal \bf $\}$} -For example, if it is going to Phys.Rev. D you would type -\tc{\\submit$\{$ \it Physical Review \bf \\bf \it D \bf $\}$} -which will produce the line \nextline -\centerline{ Submitted to Physical Review \bf D} - -\subsection{Acknowledgements} - -It is customary to acknowledge the support of various grants or -contracts somewhere on the titlepage. -Generally this is done in the form of a footnote. -The easiest way to get \TeX\ to typeset such acknowledgements is to -use the macro {\bf \\foot}. -You insert this footnote just after the last word of the title -or author's name, depending upon the situation, and then continue -setting the title page. -The {\bf \\title}, {\bf \\author} and {\bf \\address} macros -have been written in such a way that the {\bf \\foot} command -can be used with these macros without any trouble. -If you fool around with the title page and put things inside boxes -using the PLAIN \TeX\ commands {\bf \\line} or {\bf \\centerline} -this is not true. -In this case the text will be put inside a box in restricted -horizontal mode and you must use the commands {\bf \\footnote} -and {\bf \\footmark} as explained in our discussion of footnotes. - -For theory group users there is a special macro which generates -the acknowledgement to the Department of Energy. -the command is {\bf \\doeack}. -To generate this acknowledgement you simply type -{\bf \\doeack} immediately after the last word in the title. -If other groups want to have their own {\bf \\doeack} macro -they need generate a file called MYPHYX TEX -and make sure it contains the lines \nextline -{\bf \\def\\doeack$\{$\\foot$\{$ \rm Work supported by the Department of -Energy, contract \bf \$\\caps \rm DE-$\ldots$ \bf \$ $\}\}$ } - -\subsection{Finishing the Title Page} - -Close the title page with command {\bf \\endpage}. -If you don't do this \TeX\ will make some stupid decision about -adding extra material to this page. -You won't be happy with the results. - -\section{A Sample Titlepage} - -Let us conclude this section by including a sample title page. -If you type \nextline -\newcount\lastpage \lastpage=\pagenumber -\newcount\lastchap \lastchap=\chapternumber -\newcount\lastsection \lastsection=\sectionnumber -\let\lastchapterlabel=\chapterlabel \lastsection=\sectionnumber - -\tc{\\pubnum=$\{$ \it 6666\bf $\}$} -\tcon{\\date$\{$\it September 1984\bf $\}$} -\tcon{\\pubtype$\{$CRAP$\}$} -\tcon{\\titlepage } -\tcon{\\title$\{$\it THE JOY OF TYPING PAPERS USING PHYZZX -\bf \\doeack$\}$ } -\tcon{\\author$\{$\it Marvin Weinstein -\\footnote$\{$\\dag$\}\{$% -\it another acknowledgement \bf $\}$ -$\}$} -\tcon{\\SLAC} -\tcon{\\andauthor$\{$\it V.\~\ K.\~\ Kaplunovsky \bf $\}$ } -\tcon{\\address$\{$ \it Princeton \bf $\}$ } -\tcon{\\abstract} -\tcon{\\centerline$\{$ \it This paper is a crock. \bf $\}$} -\tcon{\\submit$\{$ \it Physical Review D \bf $\}$ } -\tcon{\\endpage} - -then you get - -\endpage - -\pubnum{6666} -\date{September 1984} -\pubtype{CRAP} -\titlepage -\title{THE JOY OF TYPING PAPERS USING PHYZZX\doeack} -\author{Marvin Weinstein} -\SLAC\footnote{\dag}{another acknowledgement} -\andauthor{V.~K.~Kaplunovsky} -\address{Princeton} -\abstract -\centerline{This paper is a crock} -\submit{Physical Review D} - -\endpage - -\advance\lastpage by 1 \pagenumber=\lastpage -\let\chapterlabel=\lastchapterlabel \chapternumber=\lastchap -\sectionnumber=\lastsection - -\chapter{MEMOS} - -We have now finished discussing all of the macros which have to -do with the formatting of papers. -Now as promised we will turn to a discussion of the two other -formats which PHYZZX supports. -The first format is that of a SLAC memorandum. -The second format is that of a letter. - -A memorandum, as we have defined it, is a document meant for internal -distribution, addressed to a specific group of people and -designed to transmit information on a specific subject. -This sort of document tends to have a heading which identifies it -as a memorandum, gives the date, says to whom the memorandum is -being sent, from whom the memorandum comes and briefly summarizes -the topic being discussed. -This heading is then separated from the body of the memorandum -by some sort of ruled line and then one types in the text of -the memorandum. - -To type a memorandum you begin by typing the formatting instruction -\tc{\\MEMO} -which tells PHYZZX the document to follow is a memorandum. -It also forces the document to be single spaced and generates -the heading which identifies the document as a SLAC memo -and gives the date at which the file was processed; \ie , the current -date. -If you wish to type a heading which has the date of your choice -then use the command {\bf \\memodate} instead of {\bf \\MEMO}. -The syntax of this command is -\tc{\\memodate$\{$ \it date of your choice \bf $\}$} - -Now you have to generate the remainder of the heading;

-Very often you wish to send the same letter to many different -people; hence, the text of each letter is the same but the -salutations will be different. -There are two ways to go about generating such a series of letters. -The only difference between them is that the first is somewhat -more conservative of computer time, but it can only be used for -relatively short letters; the second is a bit more demanding of -computer time, but it doen't care how long the letter is. -By a short letter I mean one which is no more than -one or two pages in length. - -\subsection{Short Letters} - -To type in short letters you begin by typing -\tc{\\letters\\multiletter} -This command is to be followed by the text of your letter. -What {\bf \\multiletter} does is tell PHYZZX to file away the -material to follow in the depths of its memory, to be used later. -You let PHYZZX know to stop stuffing stuff away by typing -\tc{\\letterend} -when you have finished. -Having now saved the body of the letter for future use you -generate your letters by typing -\tc{\\letter$\{$ \it Addressee \bf $\}$} -followed by -\tc{\it Dear Mr. Soandso \bf \\par} -followed by the commands -\tc{\\lettertext\\endletter} -As you will have guessed the command {\bf \\lettertext} -is the name PHYZZX has assigned to the body of the -letter. - -\subsection{For Longer Letters} - -The second method for generating many letters is slightly more wasteful -of computer time, but to my mind it is simpler to use. -I reccommend it over the command {\bf \\multiletter} and -have included a brief discussion of the previous case only -to keep the macro set upward compatible. -Do us both a favor and forget I mentioned it. - -This method takes a little longer because it requires \TeX\ to input the -same file many times. -It is simpler because it requires no change in syntax from -the format used for a single letter. -To use this method you create a file YOUR FILE A (the filetype -doesn't have to be TEX here), -which contains the body of your letter, including your signature. -You then create a driver file (filename TEX A) of the form -\tc{\\input phyzzx} -\tcon{\\letters} -\tcon{\it optional \quad \bf \\date$\{$ \it your date \bf $\}$} -\tcon{\\letter$\{$ \it Addressee \bf $\}$} -\tcon{\it Dear $\ldots$ \bf \\par} -\tcon{\\input your.file} -\tcon{\\endletter} -\tcon{\it $\ldots$} -\tcon{\\letter$\{$ \it Addressee \bf $\}$} -\tcon{\it Dear $\ldots$ \bf \\par} -\tcon{\\input your.file} -\tcon{\\endletter} -\tcon{\\end} -Note, the period between the filename and filetype is crucial. -What is being done in this method is that we are using \TeX 's -ability to input an external file as often as you wish. -This technique has the added advantage that you can even have the -letters vary somewhat. -To perform this trick you use the {\bf \\def} command. -To begin you use the names of some undefined control sequences in -the file YOUR FILE A, and then redefine these sequences -in the main driver file after each {\bf \\endletter} and before -the start of the next letter. - - -\chapter{MISCELLANEOUS MACROS WHICH PHYZZX DEFINES} - -We have now finished our discussion of all of the macros which -pertain to the formatting of special documents. -This section simply lists some special macros which we have -included in PHYZZX simply because they simplify the task of -typing things which occur frequently. -

-\section{Using Your MYPHYX File} - -I promised you a short discussion of tailoring PHYZZX -into your own inimitable macro package. -The simplest way to do this is to have a complicated -file called MYPHYX TEX on your A disk. -If there are a few features of PHYZZX which do almost what you -want, but not quite, you can -look at the file PHYZZX TEX. -By reading Knuth and studying this file you will see how -everything PHYZZX does is made to happen. -The way to change something is to steal the relevant definition -from this file and copy it to your MYPHYX file. -Then, make the changes which you wish to make. -Since PHYZZX inputs this file after it makes its own -definitions, you desires will override the PHYZZX definitions. -
