+\section{Introduction}
+
+First the bad news: \TeX{} is a large and complicated program that
+goes to extraordinary lengths to produce attractive typeset material.
+This very complication can cause unexpected things to happen at times.
+Now the good news: straightforward text is very easy to typeset using
+\TeX\null. So it's possible to start with easier text and work up to
+more complicated situations.
+
+The purpose of this manual is to start from the very beginning and
+to move towards these more complicated situations. No previous knowledge
+of \TeX{} is assumed. By proceeding a section at a time, greater
+varieties of text can be produced.
+
+Here are a few suggestions: there are some exercises in each
+section. Be sure and do them! The only way to learn \TeX{} is
+by using it. Better yet, experiment on your own; try to make
+some variations on the exercises. There is no way that you can
+damage the \TeX{} program with your experiments. You can find a
+complete answer to most exercises by looking at the \TeX{} source
+file that was used to produce this document. You'll notice that
+there are references in the right margin to {\bf The \TeX
+book}\fnote{Addison-Wesley, Reading,Massachusetts, 1984, ISBN
+0-201-13488-9}\null. When you feel that you want more
+information on a topic, that's where to look.
+
+Incidentally, there are a few fibs that appear in this manual;
+they are used to hide complications (I look at this as something
+like poetic license). As you become more experienced at using
+\TeX{}, you'll be able to find them.
+
+\TeX{} is a public domain program that is available for no
+license fee. It was developed by Donald Knuth at Stanford
+University as a major project. In the profit-oriented market
+place, the program would certainly cost many thousands of
+dollars. The \TeX{} Users Group (TUG) is a nonprofit
+organization which distributes copies of \TeX{}, this manual,
+updates software, and gives information about new developments in
+both hardware and software in its publications TUGboat and \TeX
+niques. Joining this users group is inexpensive; please consider
+doing so. The address is:

+\section{Getting Started}
+
+\subsection{What \TeX{} is and what \TeX{} isn't}
+
+First of all, let's see what steps are necessary to produce a
+document using \TeX\null. The first step is to type the file
+that \TeX{} reads. This is usually called the \TeX{} file or the
+input file, and it can be created using a simple text editor (in
+fact, if you're using a fancy word processor, you have to be sure
+that your file is saved in ASCII or nondocument mode without any
+special control characters). The \TeX{} program then reads your
+input file and produces what is called a DVI file (DVI stands for
+DeVice Independent). This file is not readable, at least not by
+humans. The DVI file is then read by another program (called a
+device driver) that produces the output that is readable by
+humans\TeXref{23}. Why the extra file? The same DVI file can be
+read by different device drivers to produce output on a dot
+matrix printer, a laser printer, a screen viewer, or a
+phototypesetter. Once you have produced a DVI file that gives
+the right output on, say, a screen viewer, you can be assured
+that you will get exactly the same output on a laser printer
+without running the \TeX{} program again.
+
+The process may be thought of as proceeding in the following way:
+$$
+{\hbox{edit text\quad} \atop \longrightarrow}
+\lower .6cm \makebox{1.5cm}{1.8cm}%
+{\vbox{\hbox{\TeX{}}
+ \hbox{input}
+ \hbox{file}
+ }%
+}%
+{\hbox{\quad \TeX{} program\quad} \atop \longrightarrow}
+\lower .6cm \makebox{1.5cm}{1.8cm}%
+{\vbox{\hbox{DVI}
+ \hbox{file}}
+}%
+{\hbox{\quad device driver\quad} \atop \longrightarrow}
+\lower .6cm \makebox{1.5cm}{1.8cm}%
+{\vbox{\hbox{readable}
+ \hbox{output}}
+}%
+$$
+
+This means that we don't see our output in its final form when it
+is being typed at the terminal. But in this case a little
+patience is amply rewarded, for a large number of symbols not
+available in most word processing programs become available. In
+addition, the typesetting is done with more precision, and the
+input files are easily sent between different computers by
+electronic mail or on a magnetic medium.
+
+Our focus will be on the first step, that is, creating the \TeX{}
+input file and then running the \TeX{} program to produce
+appropriate results. There are two ways of running the \TeX{}
+program; it can be run in batch mode or interactively. In
+batch mode you submit your \TeX{} input file to your computer;
+it then runs the \TeX{} program without further intervention and
+gives you the result when it is finished. In interactive mode
+the program can stop and get further input from the user, that
+is, the user can interact with the program. Using \TeX{}
+interactively allows some errors to be corrected by the user,
+while the \TeX{} program makes the corrections in batch mode as
+best it can. Interactive is the preferred mode, of course. All
+personal computer and many mainframe implementations are
+interactive. On some mainframes, however, the only practical
+method of running \TeX{} is in batch mode.

+Amdahl running MVS; I'm fairly certain that it's the worst possible case.}]
+}
+
+
+In this section we'll see how to run \TeX{} at the University of
+Manitoba. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with MANTES
+and can create text files using it.
+
+First, there are several things that must be done {\bf one time
+only}. To start you must do the following (you type in the
+material that looks like typewriter type):
+\item{(1)} allocate the files that \TeX{} will use by typing the
+following lines (while in MANTES):
+\itemitem{} C: {\tt alloc da=source.tex format=vb,256,6144}
+\itemitem{} C: {\tt alloc da=dvi format=fb,1024,6144}
+
+\item{(2)} Create a file called RUNTEX in your MANTES aggregate
+containing the following JCL:
+
+\beginuser
+// JOB ,'RUN TEX'
+// EXEC TEXC
+//SRC DD DSN=<userid>.SOURCE.TEX,DISP=SHR
+//DVI DD DSN=<userid>.DVI,DISP=OLD
+\enduser
+
+
+The name {\tt <userid>} is replaced by your own user id, of
+course. The use of upper case and the spaces must be followed
+exactly.
+
+\item{(3)} Create a file called PRINTTEX in your MANTES aggregate
+containing the following JCL:
+
+\beginuser
+// JOB ,'PRINT TEX'
+// EXEC TEXP
+//DVIFILE DD DSN=<userid>.DVI,DISP=SHR
+\enduser
+
+
+Once you have completed these three steps, you are ready to run a
+\TeX{} job. The files you have created will allow you to produce
+about ten pages of ordinary text.
+
+Here are the steps you use {\bf each time you run a job}.
+
+\item{(1)} create a MANTES file containing your \TeX{} input.
+\item{(2)} save and submit your file using the commands
+\itemitem{} C: {\tt save f/l to da=source.tex noseq}
+\itemitem{} C: {\tt submit runtex}
+\item{(3)} when you get a message saying that your job is finished,
+enter the command
+\itemitem{} C: {\tt out <jobname>; list ttyout}
+
+In this command, {\tt <jobname>} is replaced by your user id with
+a dollar sign appended. This file listing will tell you of any
+errors that might have occurred. It is an abbreviated version of
+what is called the ``log file''; we will use the term ``log
+file'' to refer to the ttyout file produced by \TeX\null.
+
+If you want, you can check on the status of your job while it is
+executing by using the command
+\itemitem{} C: {\tt q <jobname>}
+
+When you are finished looking at the log file, the command {\tt
+end scratch} will throw away the log file while the command {\tt
+end release} will send the log file to the printer, and it can
+then be picked up with your \TeX{} output.
+
+\item{(4)} when your output from RUNTEX program is error free, \TeX{}
+will have created a legal DVI file. To print it, use the
+command
+\itemitem{} C: {\tt submit printtex nohold}
+
+As in (3), you can check on the status of your job while it is
+executing.
+\item{(5)} Pick up your output at the I/O window, sixth floor
+Engineering building. It usually takes about twenty minutes for the
+output to be ready. Ask for it by ``{\tt <jobname>}''.
+
+The files created are large enough for running \TeX{} jobs of about
+10 pages. A job of that size will take about one second of CPU time
+to run through \TeX\null. It will take about 15 seconds of CPU time to
+print 10 pages on the Xerox 8600 using the current device driver.
+
+You can print your own copy of this manual using the command
+{\tt \%docu tex}. You can also find lots of other useful
+online information about \TeX{} by using {\tt \%texinfo}.
+
+\subsection{Let's do it!}
+
+So, from our viewpoint, the name of the game is to create the \TeX{}
+file that produces the right readable output. What does
+a \TeX{} file look like? It consists of characters from an
+ordinary terminal, that is, upper and lower case letters,
+numbers, and the usual punctuation and accent characters (these
+are the usual ASCII characters). Text, for the most part, is just
+typed normally. Special instructions usually start with one of a
+few special symbols such as {\tt \#} or {\tt \&} (these will be
+described in more detail later). Here is an example of a \TeX{}
+input file:
+
+\beginuser
+Here is my first \\TeX\\ sentence.
+\\bye
+\enduser
+\toindex{TeX{} } \toindex{ }
+
+
+First note that the characters in this example look like
+typewriter type. We use these characters with all examples that
+are meant to be typed from the computer terminal. Second, note
+that the backslash appears three times in the text. We'll soon
+see that this is one of the special symbols mentioned
+previously, and it is used very frequently when making \TeX{}
+documents. Make a file containing this example. Use the \TeX{}
+program to make a DVI file and a device driver to see what you
+have produced. If all goes well, you'll have a single page with
+the following single sentence:
+
+Here is my first \TeX\ sentence.
+
+ There will also be a page number at the bottom of the page. If
+you've gotten this far, congratulations! Once you can produce one
+\TeX{} document, it's just a matter of time before you can do
+more complicated ones. Now let's compare what we typed in with
+what we got out. The straightforward words were just typed in
+normally, and \TeX{} set them in ordinary type. But the word ``\TeX'',
+which can't be typed in on a terminal because the letters
+aren't on the same line, is entered by using a word starting with
+a backslash, and \TeX{} made the proper interpretation. Most
+symbols that are not ordinary letters, numbers, or punctuation
+are typeset by entering a word starting with a backslash. If we
+look a little closer, we'll note that the word ``first'' is also
+changed.
+\TeXref{4}
+The first two letters have been joined together and there isn't
+a separate dot over the letter ``i''. This is standard
+typesetting practice: certain letter combinations are joined up
+to form what are called {\sl ligatures}. There is actually a good
+\aesthetic{} reason for this. Compare the first two letters of
+``first'' and ``{f}irst'' to see the difference. We note that
+{\tt \\bye} appears in the input file with no corresponding word
+in the final copy.
+\toindex{bye}
+This a typesetting instruction that tells \TeX{} that the input
+is finished. We'll learn about lots of different typesetting
+instructions as we go along.
+
+Let's look at the log file that was created when we ran \TeX
+\null. It may vary slightly at your site, but should look
+something like this:
+\beginuser
+ 1.
+ 2. This is TeX, MVS Version 2.9 (no format preloaded)
+ 3. ** File PLAIN.FMT <-- DD=FMTLIB MEM=PLAIN
+ 4.
+ 5. ** File SRC.TEX <-- DD=SRC
+ 6. (src.tex [1]
+ 7. Output written on DVI (1 page, 256 bytes).
+ 8. Transcript written on TEXLOG.
+\enduser
+
+
+This is the file that will contain any error messages. On line 6,
+{\tt (src.tex\ } indicated that \TeX{} has started reading that
+file. The appearance of {\tt [1]} indicates that page 1 has been
+processed. If there were errors on page 1, they would be listed
+at that point.
+
+\vskip .5cm
+\exercise Add a second sentence to your original \TeX{} file to get:
+\beginuser
+Here is my first \\TeX\\ sentence.
+I was the one who typeset it!
+\\bye
+\enduser
+
+Use \TeX{} and look at your output. Is the second sentence on a
+new line?
+
+
+\exercise Now add this line to the beginning of your file:
+\beginuser
+\\nopagenumbers
+\enduser
+\noindent
+Guess what will happen when you run the new file through
+\TeX\null. Now try it and see what happens.
+\toindex{nopagenumbers}
+
+\exercise Add three or four more sentences to your file.
+Use letters, numbers, periods, commas, question marks,
+and exclamation points, but don't use any other symbols.
+
+
+\exercise Leave a blank line and add some more sentences.
+You can now get new paragraphs.
+\medskip
+
+We have now seen a major principle concerning the preparation of
+\TeX{} input files. The placement of the text on your computer
+terminal does not necessarily correspond to the placement of the
+text on your output. You can not, for example, add space between
+words in your output by adding spaces in your input file. Several
+consecutive spaces and one space will produce exactly the same
+output. As would be expected, a word at the end of one line will
+be separated from the first word of the following line. In fact,
+sometimes when working on a file that will be heavily edited, it
+is convenient to start each sentence on a separate line. Spaces
+at the beginning of a line, however, are always ignored.
+
+\exercise Add the following sentence as a new paragraph, and then
+typeset it:
+\beginuser
+Congratulations! You received a grade of 100\% on your latest
+examination.
+\enduser
+\noindent
+The {\tt\%} sign is used for comments in your input file.
+Everything on a line following this symbol is ignored. Notice
+that even the space that normally separates the last word on one
+line from the first word on the next line is lost. Now put a
+backslash in front of the {\tt\%} sign to correct the
+sentence. \toindex{\$} \toindex{\%}
+
+\exercise Add the following sentence as a new paragraph:
+\beginuser
+You owe me \$10.00 and it's about time you sent it to me!
+\enduser
+\noindent
+This will produce an error in your log file (if your
+implementation of \TeX{} is interactive, that is, sends you
+messages and waits for answers, just hit the carriage return or
+enter key when you get the error message). You will get output,
+but not what you might expect. Look at the log file and see
+where the error messages are listed. Don't worry about the
+actual messages. We'll have a lot more to say about errors
+(including this one) later. Now fix the error by putting a
+backslash in front of the {\tt \$} sign, and typeset the result
+(there are a small number of characters like the per cent and
+dollar signs that \TeX{} uses for its own purposes. A table of
+these characters will be provided shortly).
+
+\subsection{\TeX{} has everything under control}
+
+We have seen that the backslash has a special role. Any word
+starting with a backslash will be given a special interpretation
+when \TeX{} reads it from your input file. Such a word is called
+a {\sl control sequence}. There are, in fact, two types of
+control sequences: a {\sl control word\/} is a backslash followed
+by letters only (for example, {\tt \\TeX}) and a {\sl control
+symbol\/} is a backslash followed by a single nonletter (for
+example, {\tt \\\$})\null. Since a space is a nonletter, a
+backslash followed by a space is a legitimate control symbol.
+\TeXref{7--8}
+When we want to emphasize that a space is present, we will use a
+special symbol {\tt\sp} to indicate the space, as in the control
+symbol {\tt\\\sp}. This convention is used in {\bf The \TeX
+book} as well as in this manual.
+
+When \TeX{} is reading your input file and comes to a backslash
+followed by a letter, it knows that a control word is being
+read. So it continues reading the name of the control word until
+a nonletter is read. So if your file contains
+
+\displaytext{\tt I like \\TeX!}
+
+\noindent
+the control word {\tt \\TeX} is terminated by the exclamation
+point. But this presents a problem if you want to have a space
+after a control word. If you have, for example, the sentence
+
+\displaytext{\tt I like \\TeX and use it all the time.}
+
+\noindent
+in your input file, the control word {\tt\\TeX} is terminated by
+the space (which is, of course, a nonletter). But then you won't
+have a space between the words ``\TeX{}'' and ``and''; inserting
+more spaces won't help, since \TeX{} doesn't distinguish between
+one space and several consecutive spaces. But if you put the
+control symbol {\tt\\\sp} after a control word, you will both
+terminate the control word and insert a space. It's really easy
+to forget to put in something like {\tt\\\sp} after a control
+word. I promise you that you will do it at least once while
+you're learning to use \TeX\null.
+
+\exercise Make an input file that will produce the following
+paragraph:
+
+I like \TeX! Once you get the hang of it, \TeX{} is really easy
+to use. You just have to master the \TeX nical aspects.
+
+Most control words are named so as to give a hint of their uses.
+You can use {\tt \\par} to make a new paragraph, for example,
+instead of putting in a blank line.
+\toindex{par}
+
+\subsection{What \TeX{} won't do}
+
+\TeX{} is very good at setting type, but there are things that \TeX{}
+can't do well. One is making figures. Space can be left
+to insert figures, but there are no graphic procedures built into
+the language (at present). Some implementations allow graphic
+instructions to be inserted using the {\tt \\special} control
+word but these are exceptional and definitely site dependent.
+
+\TeX{} sets type in horizontal straight lines and not in
+straight lines at other angles. In particular, it is generally
+not possible to make insertions in ``landscape mode'', that is,
+with the text rotated so that the baseline is parallel with
+the long edge of the paper, or to include text that has a curve for
+a baseline. Perspective type (gradually increasing or
+decreasing in height) is not handled well by \TeX\null.
+
+We have seen that there is an ``edit, \TeX{}, driver'' cycle that
+is necessary for each different copy of output. This is true
+even when the output device is a terminal. In particular, it's
+not possible to type the input file and see the results on the
+screen immediately without going through the full cycle. Some
+implementations have both text and graphics displays with
+reasonably quick turnaround (a few seconds for a single page); as
+hardware becomes less expensive and processors become faster, we
+may see improvement.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+\section{All characters great and small}
+
+\subsection{Some characters are more special than others}
+
+We saw in the last section that most text is entered at the
+terminal as sentences of ordinary words just as when typing with
+a typewriter. But we also saw that, in particular, the backslash
+could be used for at least two different purposes. It can be
+used for symbols (or combinations of symbols) that don't appear
+on the keyboard such as typing {\tt \\TeX} to get \TeX\null. It
+can also be used to give \TeX{} special instructions such as
+typing {\tt \\bye} to indicate the end of the input file. In
+general, a word starting with a backslash will be interpreted by
+\TeX{} as one requiring special attention. There are several
+hundred words that \TeX{} knows, and you can define more
+yourself, and so the backslash is very important. We'll spend a
+lot of time as we proceed learning some of these words;
+fortunately we'll only need to use a small number of them most of
+the time.
+
+There are ten characters which, like the backslash, are used
+by \TeX{} for special purposes, and we now want to give the
+complete list.
+\TeXref{37--38}What if we want to use a sentence with one of these
+special characters in it? With this in mind we'll ask the following
+questions:
+\item{(1)} What are the different special characters?
+\item{(2)} How do we use a special character if we really want to
+typeset it in our text?
+
+Here is a table of each special character, its purpose, and the
+method of typesetting the special character itself if you need
+it:
+

+\subsection{Typesetting with an accent}
+
+Now we're going to start using some of \TeX{}'s goodies! So far
+we've just been using \TeX{} to make our output look attractive,
+but now we'll start to do things that are difficult or impossible
+on the typewriter. In particular, we're going to look at accents
+now. How do you produce an accent when the symbol doesn't appear on
+the keyboard? Just as with the symbol \TeX{}, it is necessary to
+enter a word starting with a backslash. For the word ``premi\`ere'',
+as a first example, you need to type in {\tt premi\\`ere}
+(you may have to hunt around to find the ``back prime''
+or ``grave'' symbol {\tt `} on your keyboard, but it's there
+somewhere\fnote{If you have a very old or obscure
+keyboard and the back prime is {\it really\/} not there, you can
+use {\tt \\lq\lb\rb} instead. Similarly {\tt \\rq\lb\rb} can be
+used for the symbol {\tt '}. You can think of the symbols as
+being abbreviations for ``left quote'' and ``right quote.'' In
+addition, {\tt \\lq\\lq\lb\rb} and {\tt \\rq\\rq\lb\rb} give the
+usual quotation marks. But this won't work as a method to produce
+an accent over the following letter, so you're really better off
+with a proper keyboard.}). In general, to put an accent
+on a letter, the appropriate control sequence precedes the letter.
+
+Here are some examples:
+$$\vbox{
+
+\halign{
+\strut \hfil\tt # & \quad # \hfil\cr
+\bf \TeX{} input & \bf \TeX{} output \cr
+\noalign{\hrule} \noalign{\smallskip}
+\\`a la mode & \`a la mode \cr
+r\\'esum\\'e & r\'esum\'e \cr
+soup\\c{\sp}con & soup\c con \cr
+No\\"el & No\"el \cr
+na\\"\\i{\sp}ve & na\"\i ve \cr
+}
+}$$
+
+
+We see several principles illustrated by these examples. Most
+accents are produced by using a control symbol with a similar
+shape. A few of them are produced by control words containing a
+single letter. Some care must be used in this case, for a space
+must be used to terminate the control word. If you have {\tt
+soup\\ccon} in your file, for example, \TeX{} will look for the
+control word {\tt\\ccon}\fnote{We'll see that there is another
+method when we look at the grouping concept in Section~4.}.
+\TeXref{52--53}
+
+Notice that there is a control word {\tt\\i} also. This produces
+the letter ``i'' without the dot over it; this allows an accent
+to be put over the lower part of the letter. There is an
+analogous control word {\tt\\j} that produces a dotless ``j''
+for accenting purposes.

+\subsection{Dots, dashes, quotes, \bdots}
+
+Typing has always been a compromise: the small number of keys
+(compared to the number of typeset symbols available) has forced
+some changes on the typist. When preparing material using \TeX{},
+there is no need to be so restricted. In this section we'll look
+at some differences between typing and using \TeX\null.
+
+There are four types of dashes that are used. The hyphen is used
+for combining words into one unit as with mother-in-law.
+\TeXref{3--5}
+The en-dash is used to indicate a sequence of page numbers, years
+or such things. The em-dash is a grammatical symbol. The minus
+sign is used for negative numbers. Here they are with their uses:
+

+
+\exercise The winter of 1484--1485 was one of discontent.
+\bigskip
+
+
+Another difference between typing and using \TeX{} is the use of
+quotation marks. Opening and closing quotation marks are the
+same on a typewriter. They are produced in \TeX{} by using the
+apostrophe or prime key {\tt '} and backprime key {\tt `}\null.
+An open quote is produced by {\tt ``} and the
+close quote by {\tt ''}\null.\TeXref{3} Similarly the
+opening single quote is produced by {\tt `} and the closing
+single quote by {\tt '}\null. Notice that there is no need
+to use the usual typing quotation mark (it normally gives a close
+quote, but don't count on it).
+
+\exercise His ``thoughtfulness'' was impressive.
+
+\exercise Frank wondered, ``Is this a girl that can't say `No!'?''
+\bigskip
+
+Sometimes ellipses (three dots) are used to indicate a passage
+of time or missing material. Typing three periods will give
+three dots very close together. The dots with proper spacing will

+\subsection{Different fonts}
+
+The most obvious difference between typewritten text and \TeX{}
+output is undoubtedly the different fonts or types of symbols
+used. When \TeX{} starts up it has sixteen fonts available. Some
+of these are used for technical purposes, but even so there are
+several different typefaces available as can be seen in the
+following table. A complete list of the sixteen fonts is given in
+Appendix F of {\bf The \TeX{}book}.
+\TeXref{427--432}
+Most of them are used automatically; a mathematical subscript,
+for example, is put in smaller type by \TeX{} with no special
+user intervention.
+
+To change from the usual (roman) typeface to italic, the control
+word {\tt \\it} is used. To change back to the usual roman
+typeface, use {\tt \\rm}. For example, you could have the
+following sentence: {\tt I started with roman type, \\it switched
+to italic type, \\rm and returned to roman type}. This would give
+the following: I started with roman type, \it switched to italic
+type,\fnote{Notice that the comma and this footnote are in
+italic type, and this looks a little funny. We'll see that there
+is another method for changing fonts when we talk about grouping
+in Section 4.}
+\rm and returned to roman type.
+
+Typefaces other than italic are also available. Those given below
+are the ones most commonly used. They are available immediately
+when \TeX{} starts. A little later we'll see how to use other
+typefaces that aren't available when \TeX{} starts.

+
+The slanted and italic fonts seem quite similar at first. It is
+easy to see the difference between the letter ``a'' in each
+sample. When changing from a slanted or italic font to a roman
+font, the last letter in the first font will lean towards the
+first letter of the roman font; this looks cramped, and to
+compensate there is a little extra space that can be added called
+the {\sl italic correction}. This is done using the control
+symbol {\tt \\/}.
+\toindex{/}
+In the following sentence, there is no italic correction after
+the first sequence of italic letters but there is after the
+second sequence; see the difference: {\it If} the italic
+correction is not used the letters are too close together, but
+{\it if\/} the correction is used, the spacing is better. There
+is no need for the italic correction when the italic characters
+are followed by a comma or a period, but your text will
+definitely look better if you use it before quotation marks or
+parentheses.
+
+
+It is possible to use fonts other than those initially defined in
+\TeX{} when desired (assuming that they are available on
+your computer system, of course). Different sizes can be used
+with the aid of the control word {\tt \\magstep}. To define your
+new font you will have to know its name on your computer system.
+For example, the roman typeface is called ``cmr10'' on most
+systems. If you use {\tt \\font\\bigrm = cmr10 scaled \\magstep
+1}, you can then use {\tt\\bigrm} in exactly the same way as you
+use {\tt\\it} or {\tt\\rm}.
+\TeXref{13--17}
+\toindex{magstep}
+\toindex{font}
+\toindex{scaled}
+
+Switching via {\tt\\bigrm} will give roman type that is larger
+than the usual by 20\%\null. {\tt \\font\\bigbigrm = cmr10
+scaled \\magstep 2} will define a font that is about 44\% larger
+than the usual roman typeface. The sizes {\tt \\magstep~0} to
+{\tt \\magstep~5} are available. On most computers {\tt \\magstephalf}
+is also available; this represents an enlargement of
+about 9.5\%\null. Here are some samples at various sizes:

+
+It's also possible to use completely new typefaces. These
+are dependent on system availability, of course. Many systems
+have a file called CMSS10 which is a font that contains sans
+serif letters. Using {\tt \\font\\sf = cmss10} will allow the
+control word {\tt\\sf} to be used in the same manner as {\tt\\bf}.

+subscripts of subscripts, 12 point is 20\% larger than 10 point,
+etc. If the letters {\tt CM} are followed by {\tt B}, it is a
+boldface type. Similarly {\tt R} indicates roman, {\tt I} is for

+{\tt SS} is for sans serif, {\tt SY} is for symbols,

+\section{The shape of things to come}
+
+In this section we want to see how to make text have different
+shapes or sizes. One may use \TeX{} with the default sizes, of
+course, just as we have been doing so far. We'll now become more
+creative with our output. In discussing the size of various
+parts of a page of text, there are several units of measure we
+can use.
+
+\subsection{Units, units, units}
+
+\TeX{} can measure length using many types of units. The most
+common are the inch, the \centimeter, the point, the pica. The
+abbreviations for these units are {\tt in}, {\tt cm}, {\tt pt},
+and {\tt pc} respectively. The point is defined by the equation 1
+inch = 72.27 points, and the pica by 1 pica = 12 points. Thus a
+point is rather small and is about the size of a decimal point.
+Here is a sample to give an idea of the comparative sizes:
+\def\pip{\vrule height 4 true pt }
+\TeXref{57}
+
+$$ \hbox{1 inch: } \hbox to 1 true in{\pip\hrulefill\pip}$$
+$$ \hbox{1 \centimeter: }\hbox to 1 true cm{\pip\hrulefill\pip}$$
+$$ \hbox{20 points: }\hbox to 20 true pt{\pip\hrulefill\pip}$$
+$$ \hbox{1 pica: } \hbox to 1 true pc{\pip\hrulefill\pip}$$
+
+Thus points are used to make fine changes; a pica is about the
+distance between the baselines of two consecutive lines of
+(unmagnified) normal text. \TeX{} is quite exact about
+dimensions; internally its smallest unit is less than one
+four-millionth of an inch. Hence it is the resolution of the
+output device that will determine the accuracy of the output.
+
+There are two other units that are sometimes useful that have
+different sizes in different fonts. The {\tt ex} is about the
+height of a small ``x'' and the {\tt em} is a little smaller than
+the width of a capital ``M''\null.
+\TeXref{60}
+
+The shape of the output is generally determined by control
+words. There are many such words; these allow very fine control
+of the resulting text. But most of the time only a small number
+of them are necessary.
+
+\subsection{Page shape}
+
+The text on a page consists of three basic parts. There is the
+headline above the main text; this often contains a chapter
+title, section title, or a page number, and may differ on odd and
+even pages. Below this is the main text, which includes any
+footnotes. And finally there is the footline that might contain a
+page number.
+
+In the examples we have seen so far, the headline has been blank.
+The footline has contained either a \centred{} number or, if {\tt
+\\nopagenumbers} had been used, has also been blank. We'll have
+more to say about headlines and footlines later in this section.
+For the moment let's concentrate on the main text.
+
+To finish one page and start a new one, {\tt \\vfill \\eject} can
+be used. The control word {\tt \\eject} forces the completion of
+the current page, while {\tt \\vfill} causes any left over
+vertical space to be gathered at the bottom of the page (you might
+try leaving out the {\tt \\vfill} as an experiment to see how the
+vertical \analog{} of justified horizontal lines of text works).
+\toindex{vfill}
+\toindex{eject}
+
+
+{\hsize=4in
+The current horizontal width of the text on the page is described
+by the control word {\tt \\hsize}. It can be changed, say to 4
+inches, by {\tt \\hsize = 4 in\ } at any desired time using
+methods to be described in the next few sections. The value of
+{\tt \\hsize} in effect when the paragraph is completed
+determines the width of the paragraph. As can be seen in this
+paragraph, the text width can be changed (in this case to 4
+inches) for a single paragraph. Because it represents the
+current value of the horizontal width, expressions such as {\tt
+ \\hsize = 0.75\\hsize} can make a new value that is relative
+to the old one. \par}
+\toindex{hsize}
+
+The vertical \analog{} of {\tt \\hsize} is {\tt \\vsize}, which
+is the current height of the main text. It can be reset, just
+like {\tt \\hsize}. Thus, {\tt \\vsize = 8 in\ } can be used to
+change the vertical height of the main text. Note that {\tt \\vsize}
+is the size of the text exclusive of any headline or
+footline material.
+\toindex{vsize}
+
+Text can also be shifted across the page. The upper left corner
+of the text is one inch down and one inch in from the upper left
+corner of the page. The control words {\tt \\hoffset} and {\tt \\voffset}
+are used to shift the text horizontally and
+vertically. Thus {\tt \\hoffset = .75 in} and {\tt \\voffset =
+-.5 in} would shift the text an additional .75 inches to the
+right and .5 inches up. Most of the time you'll need to set {\tt
+\\hoffset}, {\tt \\voffset}, and {\tt \\vsize} at the beginning
+of your document only.

+\bigskip
+
+In the previous section we saw that it is possible to use fonts
+of larger size by using the {\tt \\magstep} control word. It's
+also possible to magnify the entire document at once. If {\tt
+\\magnification = \\magstep 1} appears at the top of your document,
+then all of your output is magnified by 20\%\null. The other
+values of {\tt \\magstep} can be used, too. {\bf It should be
+emphasized that {\tt \\magnification} can only be used before
+even a single character is typeset.} This magnification creates
+a problem in units; if the document is to be magnified by 20\%
+and {\tt \\hsize = 5 in} appears in the \TeX{} input file, should
+the final output have an {\tt \\hsize} of 5 inches or should it
+be magnified by 20\% to 6 inches? Unless told otherwise, all the
+dimensions will be magnified so that, in this case, {\tt \\hsize}
+would be 6 inches in the final output. This means that all the
+dimensions will increase uniformly when {\tt \\magnification} is
+used. But for some special situations it might not be desirable
+for this to happen; for example, you might want to leave a space
+of exactly 3 inches to insert a figure. In this case any unit
+can be modified by {\tt true} so that {\tt \\hsize = 5 true in}
+will always set the line width to 5 inches, regardless of
+magnification. \TeXref{59--60} \toindex{magnification}
+
+\exercise Put {\tt \\magnification = \\magstep 1} as the first
+line in one of your input files and see how the output changes.
+
+\subsection{Paragraph shape}
+
+When \TeX{} is reading the text to be typeset from your input
+file, it reads in a paragraph at a time and then typesets it.
+This means that there is a lot of control over paragraph shapes,
+but also that some care must be taken. We've already seen that
+{\tt \\hsize} can be used to control the width of a single
+paragraph. But suppose the following appeared as part of your
+input file:
+
+\beginuser
+\\hsize = 5 in
+Four score and seven years $\ldots$
+$\vdots$
+$\ldots$ from this earth.
+\\hsize = 6.5 in
+
+\enduser
+
+What is the width of the paragraph? The {\tt \\hsize} was
+changed at the start of the paragraph and again at the end.
+Since the paragraph was not completed (by putting in a blank line
+or {\tt \\par}) until after the second change, the paragraph
+would be typeset with a width of 6.5 inches. However, if a blank
+line were inserted before {\tt \\hsize = 6.5 in}, then the
+paragraph would be typeset with a width of 5 inches. So, in
+general, when a paragraph is set, the values of the parameters
+that are in effect when the paragraph is completed are the ones
+that are used.
+
+Here is a table with some paragraph parameters:
+
+\maketable [Some paragraph shape parameters]

+\toindex{parskip}
+\toindex{baselineskip}
+
+The control word {\tt \\noindent} may be used at the beginning of
+a paragraph to avoid the automatic indentation on the first line.
+This control word will only affect the paragraph being set when
+it is invoked (of course {\tt \\parindent = 0 pt} will cause no
+indentation for all paragraphs).
+\toindex{noindent}
+
+{\narrower
+A more flexible way to control the width of a paragraph is to use
+{\tt \\rightskip} and {\tt \\leftskip}. Setting {\tt \\leftskip
+= 20 pt} causes the left margin of the paragraph to be moved in
+an extra twenty points. Negative values may be assigned to {\tt
+\\leftskip} to move the left margin out. The control word {\tt
+\\rightskip} does the same to the right side of the paragraph.
+The single control word {\tt \\narrower} is the equivalent of
+setting both {\tt \\leftskip} and {\tt \\rightskip} equal to {\tt
+\\parindent}. This is quite useful for long quotations, and
+this paragraph is an example of its use. As with {\tt \\hsize},
+the value of {\tt \\leftskip} and {\tt \\rightskip} in effect
+when the paragraph is completed is the one which will apply to
+the whole paragraph.

+\exercise Make two paragraphs with the following specifications:
+the left margin of both paragraphs is indented by 1.5 inches,
+the right margin of the first paragraph is indented by 0.75
+inches, and the right margin of the second paragraph is indented
+by 1.75 inches.
+\bigskip
+
+\def\hangparagraph{ Lines can be made with different lengths
+within one paragraph by using {\tt \\hangindent} and {\tt
+\\hangafter}. The amount of the indentation is determined by value
+of {\tt \\hangindent}. If {\tt \\hangindent} is positive, the
+indentation is made from the left, and if it is negative it is
+made from the right. The lines on which the indentation occurs is
+controlled by {\tt \\hangafter}. If {\tt \\hangafter} is
+positive then it determines the number of lines at full width
+before the indentation starts. Thus if {\tt \\hangindent = 1.75
+in} and {\tt \\hangafter = 6}, then the first six lines will be
+at full width and the rest will be indented by 1.75 inches from
+the left. On the other hand if {\tt \\hangindent = \hbox{-1.75}
+in} and {\tt \\hangafter = -6}, then the first six lines will be
+indented by 1.75 inches from the right and the rest will be at
+full width. \TeX{} resets to the default values {\tt \\hangindent
+= 0 pt} and {\tt \\hangafter = 1} after each paragraph. These
+control words are useful for paragraphs with ``hanging indents''
+and for flowing a paragraph around space reserved for a figure.
+\TeXref{355}The control word {\tt \\hang} at the beginning of the
+paragraph will cause the first line to be of full width ({\tt
+\\hangafter=1}) and the rest of the paragraph to be indented by
+the current value of {\tt \\parindent}. But you do have to use
+{\tt \\noindent} if you want the first line to extend all the way
+to the left margin.

+The control word {\tt \\parshape} can be used to make paragraphs with

+
+Another useful control word for setting paragraphs is {\tt \\item}.
+It can be used to make various types of itemized lists,
+and is invoked using the pattern {\tt \\item\lb$\ldots$\rb}\null.
+This causes the next paragraph to be formed with every line
+indented by {\tt \\parindent} and, in addition, the first line
+labeled on the left by whatever is between the braces. It is
+usually used with {\tt \\parskip = 0 pt}, since that control word
+determines the vertical space between the different items. The control
+word {\tt \\itemitem} is the same as {\tt \\item} except that the
+indentation is twice as far, that is, twice the value of
+{\tt \\parindent}.

+
+\exercise Make a paragraph several lines long and use it with
+the {\tt \\item} control word to see the ``hanging indent.'' Now
+take the same paragraph and use it with different values of {\tt
+\\parindent} and {\tt \\hsize}.
+\bigskip
+
+Now let's see how to put space between paragraphs. The control
+word {\tt \\parskip} is used to determine how much space is
+normally left between paragraphs. So if you put {\tt \\parskip =
+12 pt} at the beginning of your \TeX{} source file, there will be
+12 points between paragraphs unless other instructions are
+given. The control word {\tt \\vskip} can be used to insert extra
+vertical space between paragraphs. If {\tt \\vskip 1 in} or {\tt
+\\vskip 20 pt} appears between two paragraphs, then the extra
+space is inserted.
+
+There are a couple of peculiarities of {\tt \\vskip} that seem
+quite strange at first. If you have {\tt \\vskip 3 in} and the
+skip starts two inches from the bottom of the page, the rest of
+the page is skipped, but the extra one inch is {\it not\/}
+skipped at the top of the next page. In other words, {\tt \\vskip}
+{\bf will not insert space across page boundaries}. In
+fact, {\tt \\vskip~1~in} will have no effect at all if it happens
+to appear at the top of a page! For many types of vertical
+spacing this is quite appropriate. The space before a section
+heading, for example, should not continue across page boundaries.
+
+A similar phenomenon occurs at the beginning of your document.
+If, for example, you want a title page with the title about half
+way down the page, you can not insert the space at the top of the
+page using {\tt \\vskip}.
+
+But what if you really want some blank space at the top of a
+page? You could start the page with {\tt\\\sp} but this in effect
+typesets a one line paragraph containing a blank. So while
+nothing is typeset, the extra space due to the values of {\tt
+\\baselineskip} and {\tt \\parskip} will add extra space. An easier
+method is to use {\tt \\vglue} instead of {\tt \\vskip} to get
+the desired result. Thus {\tt \\vglue 1 in\ }will leave one inch
+of blank space at the top of the page.\TeXref{352}
+\toindex{vglue}
+
+
+We can note in passing that there is another more general method
+to put material at the top of a page using the control words {\tt
+\\topinsert} and {\tt \\endinsert}. If {\tt \\topinsert $\ldots$
+\\endinsert} is used within a page, the material between
+{\tt \\topinsert} and {\tt \\endinsert} will appear at the top
+of the page, if possible. For example:
+
+\vbox{
+ \beginuser
+ \\topinsert
+ \\vskip 1 in
+ \\centerline\lb Figure 1\rb
+ \\endinsert
+ \enduser
+}
+\noindent
+is useful for inserting figures of a prescribed size.
+\TeXref{115}
+\toindex{topinsert}
+\toindex{endinsert}
+
+There are also some special control words for making small
+vertical skips. They are {\tt \\smallskip}, {\tt \\medskip}, and
+{\tt \\bigskip}. Here is the size of each one:
+
+\def\hrl{\hrule width .5 in}
+
+\centerline{{\tt \\smallskip}: \vbox{\hrl \smallskip \hrl} \quad
+ {\tt \\medskip}: \vbox{\hrl \medskip \hrl} \quad
+ {\tt \\bigskip}: \vbox{\hrl \bigskip \hrl}
+ }

+
+\subsection{Line shape}
+
+For most material \TeX{} does a good job of breaking up a
+paragraph into lines. But sometimes it's necessary to add
+further instructions. It's possible to force a new line by
+inserting {\tt \\hfill \\break} in your input file. It's also
+possible to put some text on a line by itself using the control
+word {\tt \\line\lb $\ldots$\rb}; then the material between the
+braces will be restricted to one line (although the result will
+be spread out over the whole line and may be horrible). The
+control words {\tt \\leftline\lb $\ldots$\rb}, {\tt \\rightline\lb
+$\ldots$\rb}, and {\tt \\centerline\lb $\ldots$\rb} will,
+respectively, set the material between the braces on a single
+line on the left margin, on the right margin, or \centred. Thus
+\toindex{hfill}
+\toindex{break}
+\toindex{centerline}
+\toindex{leftline}
+\toindex{rightline}
+\toindex{line}
+
+

+\leftline{I'm over on the left.}
+\centerline{I'm in the \center.}
+\rightline{I'm on the right.}
+\line{I just seem to be spread out all over the place.}
+
+Other types of spacing can be obtained by using the control word {\tt
+\\hfil}. This causes all the extra space in the line to be
+accumulated at the position where {\tt \\hfil} appears.
+Thus if we alter our last example to
+{\tt \\line\lb I just seem to be spread out \\hfil all over the place.\rb}
+we will get \hfil\break
+\medskip
+\line{I just seem to be spread out \hfil all over the place.}
+\medskip
+If we have more than one {\tt \\hfil}, they will divide any extra
+space among themselves equally. Hence
+{\tt \\line\lb left text \\hfil \centre{} text \\hfil right text.\rb}
+will produce
+\medskip
+\line{left text \hfil \centre{} text \hfil right text.}

+``left'' and ``right-\centre{}'' as between ``right-\centre{}'' and
+``right'':

+It's possible to move horizontally using {\tt \\hskip} in a

+
+\subsection{Footnotes}
+
+The general pattern to make footnotes using \TeX{} is
+{\tt \\footnote\lb$\ldots$\rb\lb$\ldots$\rb}\null.
+
+The footnote mark goes in between the first set of braces. Some
+available marks are {\tt \\dag (\dag)}, {\tt \\ddag (\ddag)}, {\tt \\S
+(\S)}, and {\tt \\P (\P)}\null. The text of the footnote
+goes between the second set of braces. The use of numbers as
+marks is a little less straightforward. The footnote%
+\footnote{${}^{21}$}{This is the footnote at the bottom of the page.}
+at the bottom of the page was produced by using {\tt \\footnote\lb\$\lb
+\rb\^{}\lb{21}\rb\$\rb\lb This is the footnote at the
+bottom of the page.\rb} after the word ``footnote'' in the
+text. This construction is somewhat complicated; we'll see why
+it's this way when we know a little more about typesetting
+mathematics. But for the moment we can look at it as a way of
+getting the job done. You may want to use {\tt \\rm} within the
+footnote to ensure that the right font appears. Usually you will
+not want a space between the text and the control word {\tt
+footnote}.\TeXref{117}

+\toindex{P}
+
+\exercise Make up a page with a relatively long footnote spanning

+\exercise Make up a page with two different footnotes on it.
+
+\subsection{Headlines and Footlines}
+
+\headline={\hfil \tenrm Page \the\pageno} %example for this section
+
+The lines for title and page numbers that go above and below the
+main text are produced by using {\tt \\headline=\lb$\dots$\rb}
+and {\tt \\footline=\lb$\dots$\rb}\null.
+\TeXref{252--253}
+
+The principle is the same as using the control word {\tt \\line\lb
+$\dots$\rb} within the usual text on the page. A helpful
+control word is {\tt \\pageno} which represents the current page
+number. Thus {\tt \\headline=\lb\\hfil \\tenrm Page \\the\\pageno\rb}
+would cause the page number to appear in the upper
+right corner preceded by the word ``Page'' (now look at the upper
+right corner of this page). It is safer to explicitly name the
+font that you want to use (in this case {\tt \\tenrm} to use the
+10 point roman font), since you are never guaranteed that a
+particular font will be in use when the headline or footline is
+set. The control word {\tt \\the} takes the internal value of the
+next word if it is an appropriate control word and prints it as
+text. You can also use the control word {\tt \\folio} instead of
+{\tt \\the \\pageno}. The difference is that {\tt \\folio} will
+give roman numerals when {\tt \\pageno} is negative.
+\toindex{headline}
+\toindex{footline}
+\toindex{pageno}
+\toindex{the}
+\toindex{folio}
+
+You can also assign values to {\tt \\pageno} if you want your
+document to use a different sequence of page numbers from the
+usual. Roman numerals can be produced by using negative numbers;
+{\tt \\pageno=-1} at the beginning of a document will cause page
+numbers to be in roman numerals.
+\TeXref{252}
+
+Different headlines can be produced for even and odd pages in
+the following manner:
+
+{\tt
+\\headline=\lb\\ifodd \\pageno \lb$\dots$\rb \\else \lb$\dots$\rb
+\\fi\rb}
+
+\noindent
+where the material between the first set of braces is for the
+right-hand pages and the material between the second set of
+braces is for the left-hand pages.
+
+\exercise Change the footline so that the page number is \centred{}
+with an en-dash on either side.
+
+\subsection{Overfull and underfull boxes}
+
+One of the most frustrating experiences for the new \TeX{} user
+is the occurrence of overfull and underfull boxes. They are duly
+noted in the log file and are also written to the screen when \TeX{}
+is being run interactively. Overfull boxes are also marked
+on the output by a slug (a large filled-in black rectangle that
+looks like this: \vrule width \overfullrule) in the right
+margin. Various obscene terms are applied to this slug. It
+appears even though there is nothing wrong with the \TeX{} input.
+So why is the slug there and what can be done about it?
+
+A good way to visualize the way \TeX{} organizes a page is to
+think of the printed material as being put into boxes. There are
+two types of boxes: {\sl hboxes\/} and {\sl vboxes}. Most of the
+time these correspond to the organization of horizontal text
+into lines and vertical paragraphs into pages. In particular, it
+is the spacing of the words in a hbox corresponding to a line of
+text that causes the slug to appear.
+
+Recall that \TeX{} reads in the complete paragraph before
+deciding how to break it up into lines. This is better than
+working a line at a time, since a slight improvement in one line
+might cause catastrophic changes farther down in the paragraph.
+When words are gathered together to form a line, space is added
+between the words to justify the right margin. Very large spaces
+between words is obviously undesirable; the badness of the line
+is a measure of how badly the words are spaced. An underfull
+hbox means that there is too much space between words. More
+specifically, the badness of any line is a number between 0
+(perfect) and 10000 (horrible). There is a parameter called {\tt
+\\hbadness} whose default value is 1000\null. Any line whose
+badness is greater than {\tt \\hbadness} is reported as an
+underfull hbox. If the value of {\tt \\hbadness} is increased,
+then fewer underfull hboxes will be reported. In fact {\tt
+\\hbadness = 10000} will suppress the reporting of underfull
+hboxes altogether. Similarly, if the words must be squeezed into
+a line so that the spaces are very small or even so the words
+extend a little into the right margin, then an overfull hbox
+results. \toindex{hbadness}
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%% restore original headline %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\headline={\iftitlepage \hfil \global\titlepagefalse
+ \else \gentleheadline \fi}
+
+In a similar way, sometimes \TeX{} allows a line to be slightly
+longer than {\tt \\hsize} in order to achieve a more balanced
+appearance. The control word {\tt \\tolerance} determines when
+this happens. If the badness of a line is greater than {\tt
+\\tolerance}, \TeX{} will make the line longer by adding a new word
+at the end of the line, even though it might exceed the value of
+{\tt \\hsize}. A line which is only slightly longer is set
+without being reported. The control word {\tt \\hfuzz} determines
+how much excess is allowed; the default is {\tt \\hfuzz
+=~0.1~pt}. A line that is more than slightly longer than {\tt \\hsize}
+is obviously a serious problem; \TeX{} puts a slug in
+the margin to make its point forcefully. It's possible to avoid
+overfull hboxes altogether by increasing the value of {\tt \\tolerance}.
+With {\tt \\tolerance = 10000} there will never be
+overfull boxes or slugs. The default is {\tt \\tolerance = 200}\null.
+\TeXref{29}
+\toindex{hfuzz}
+\toindex{tolerance}
+
+The width of the slug is determined by the control word {\tt
+\\overfullrule}. Including {\tt \\overfullrule = 0 pt} in your
+file will delete any further printing of the slugs. The
+overfull boxes will still be there, of course, and they will
+probably be harder to spot.
+\toindex{overfullrule}
+
+So we see why overfull boxes and underfull boxes are reported; we
+can also change the reporting by changing the values of {\tt
+\\badness}, {\tt \\hfuzz}, and {\tt \\tolerance}. In addition, a
+small value of {\tt \\hsize} obviously makes it more difficult to
+set lines and causes more overfull and underfull hboxes to be
+reported. These are warnings that you ignore at your own peril!
+
+Adding new possibilities of hyphenation will sometimes eliminate
+an overfull box. \TeX{} has automatic hyphenation and usually
+finds good places to hyphenate a word; however, it's possible to
+add hyphenations to let lines break at new places. For example,
+the automatic hyphenation will never put a hyphen in the word
+``database''. If you type in {\tt data\\-base}, it will allow a
+hyphen to be inserted after the second letter ``a'' in the word.
+More generally, if you put {\tt \\hyphenation\lb data-base\rb} in
+the beginning of your input file, then all occurrences of the
+word ``database'' will allow hyphenation after the letter ``a''.
+\TeXref{28} The log file will show the possible hyphenations on
+the line containing the overfull or underfull box. Sometimes the
+best solution to an overfull or underfull hbox is a little
+judicious editing of the original document.
+\toindex{hyphenation}
+
+Our discussion has involved the setting of type into lines, that is,
+the horizontal page structure. There are several vertical \analog{}s.
+Overfull and underfull hboxes indicate how well words are gathered
+into lines. Similarly, overfull and underfull vboxes are reported
+when paragraphs are gathered to form pages. A large table that
+can't be broken in the middle, for example, can produce an underfull
+vbox that is reported in the log file when the page being typeset is
+completed. The control word {\tt \\vbadness} works for the vertical
+placement of text in the same way as {\tt \\hbadness} works for
+horizontal text.
+\toindex{vbadness}
+
+\exercise Take a few paragraphs and print them using various (small)
+values of {\tt \\hsize} to see what kind of overfull boxes result.
+Repeat with various values of {\tt \\hbadness}, {\tt \\hfuzz}, and
+{\tt \\tolerance}.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+\section{$\Bigl\{$Groups, $\bigl\{$Groups,
+ $\{$and More Groups$\}\bigr\}\Bigr\}$}
+
+The concept of gathering text into groups allows \TeX{} input
+files to be greatly simplified. A new group is started by the
+character {\tt\lb} and terminated by the character {\tt \rb}\null.
+Changes made within a group will lose their effect when the
+group terminates. So, for example if {\tt \lb \\bf three
+boldface words\rb} appears in your text, the opening brace starts
+the group, the {\tt \\bf} control word changes to a boldface
+font, and the closing brace finishes up the group. Upon
+completion of the group the font being used is the one in effect
+before the group started. This is the (easier) way of having a
+few words in a different font. It's also possible to have groups
+nested within groups.
+
+
+As another example, size changes can be made in the text that are
+only temporary. For example
+\beginuser
+\lb
+\\hsize = 4 in
+\\parindent = 0 pt
+\\leftskip = 1 in
+will produce a paragraph that is four
+$\vdots$
+(this is an easy mistake to make).
+\\par
+\rb
+\enduser
+
+{\hsize = 4 in
+\parindent = 0 pt
+\leftskip = 1 in
+will produce a paragraph that is four inches wide with the text
+offset into the paragraph by one inch regardless of the settings
+in effect before the start of the group. This paragraph is set
+with those values. After the end of the group, the old settings
+are in effect again. Note that it is necessary to include
+{\tt \\par} or to use a blank line before the closing brace to end
+the paragraph, since otherwise the group will end and \TeX{} will
+go back to the old parameters before the paragraph is actually
+typeset (this is an easy mistake to make). \par}
+
+When line-spacing control words (like {\tt \\centerline}) act on text
+following it in braces, that text is implicitly in a group. Thus
+{\tt \\centerline\lb\\bf A bold title\rb} will produce a \centred{}
+boldface line, and the text following that line will be in
+whatever font was in effect before the {\tt \\centerline} was
+invoked.
+
+The empty group {\tt\lb\rb} is useful. One use allows accents to be
+typeset with no accompanying letter. For example, {\tt \\\~{}\lb\rb}
+will print a tilde with no letter under it. It can also be used to
+stop \TeX{} from eating up consecutive spaces. Hence {\tt I use
+\\TeX\lb\rb{} all the time} will leave a space after ``\TeX'' in the
+output. This is an alternative to using {\tt \\\sp} as we did in
+Section~1.
+\TeXref{19--21}
+
+Grouping can also be used to avoid spaces in the middle of a word
+when including accents. Either {\tt soup\\c\sp con} or {\tt
+soup\\c\lb c\rb on} will produce the word soup\c{c}on.
+
+\exercise Change the dimensions of one paragraph on a page using the
+grouping idea.
+
+\exercise Mathematicians sometime use the word ``i{f}f'' as an
+abbreviation for ``if and only if''\null. In this case it looks
+better if the first and second letter ``f'' are {\sl not\/}
+joined as a ligature. How do you do this (there are several
+solutions)?
+
+It's really easy to forget to match braces properly. The effect
+can be dramatic; if you get output that suddenly changes to an
+italic font for the rest of the document, a mismatched brace is
+probably the cause. If you have an extra {\tt \lb} \TeX{} will
+give a message in the log file: {\tt (\\end occurred inside a
+group at level 1)}. An extra {\tt\rb} will result in the message
+\hbox{\tt! Too many \rb's.}
+
+Here's a little hint to help you keep track of the braces in more
+complicated groups: put the opening brace on a line by itself and
+do the same for the closing brace. If there are braces nested
+within the original ones, put them on separate lines also, but
+indent them a few spaces. The text within the nested braces can
+also be indented since \TeX{} ignores all spaces at the beginning
+of a line. The matching braces will then stand out when you look
+at your \TeX{} source file. In fact, if your editor is smart
+enough, you can create the two lines with the braces first and
+then insert the appropriate material within them with automatic
+indenting.
+
+\exercise In section 2 we changed fonts the following method:
+{\tt I started with roman type, \\it switched to italic type,
+\\rm and returned to roman type}. Get the same result using the
+idea of grouping.

+\section{No math anxiety here!}
+
+\TeX{} is at its best when typesetting mathematics. The
+conventions for doing this are many and complex, and the ability
+of \TeX{} to take them into account makes the production of high
+quality, attractive mathematical output possible. If you plan to
+produce papers with mathematical symbols in them, this section
+will give you all the basics necessary for creating beautiful
+output in almost all circumstances; \TeX{} may be used without
+any mathematics, of course, and if this is your goal, then the
+following two subsections are probably sufficient for your needs.
+
+\subsection{Lots of new symbols}
+
+Mathematical text is inserted into normal text in two possible
+ways: it can be {\sl in-line\/}, that is, as part of the usual
+lines of text. It can also be {\sl displayed}, that is, \centred{}
+in a gap between the usual text. The results in the spacing and
+placement of symbols can be quite different in each case. The
+in-line equation $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} {1\over k^2} = {\pi^2\over6}$
+is easily seen to be different from the same equation when
+displayed:
+$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} {1\over k^2} = {\pi^2\over6}.$$
+
+Since the spacing and the fonts used for mathematics are quite
+different from those of ordinary text, \TeX{} needs to be told
+when mathematics rather than normal text is being typeset. This
+is done using the {\tt\$} symbol. More specifically, mathematics
+is typeset in-line by surrounding the symbols to be entered by
+single dollar signs: {\tt \$$\ldots$\$}, and is typeset displayed
+by surrounding the symbols to be entered by double dollar signs:
+{\tt \$\$$\ldots$\$\$}\null. Hence {\tt \$x = y+1\$} will give
+$x=y+1$ in-line while {\tt \$\$x = y+1.\$\$} will display
+$$x=y+1.$$
+
+The spacing for both in-line and displayed mathematics is
+completely controlled by \TeX\null. Adding spaces to your input
+has no effect at all. What if you need a space or some text in
+the middle of some mathematics? You can insert text by inserting
+it into an hbox (don't worry about the definition of an hbox for
+now): {\tt \\hbox\lb$\ldots$\rb}\null. This is particularly
+useful for displayed mathematics. Hence ``$x=y+1 \hbox{ whenever
+} y=x-1$'' can be typeset using {\tt \$x=y+1 \\hbox\lb\ whenever
+\rb y=x-1\$}. Note the spaces on either side of the word within
+the braces. Usually it isn't necessary to insert spaces into
+mathematical text, but here are the control sequences that do the
+job.
+\TeXref{167}
+
+\maketable [Adding space to mathematical text]

+\toindex{!}
+
+If you look closely at the negative thin space, you'll notice
+that, unlike the other entries, the two arms overlap. This is
+because the negative space is one in the opposite direction, that
+is, while the other control sequences increase the amount of
+space between two symbols being typeset, the negative thin space
+decreases the space between them, even if it causes them to
+overlap.
+
+\exercise Typeset the following: $C(n,r) = n!/(r!\,(n-r)!)$\null. Note the
+spacing in the denominator.
+\bigskip
+
+You shouldn't have any blank lines between the dollar signs
+delimiting the mathematical text. \TeX{} assumes that all the
+mathematical text being typeset is in one paragraph, and a blank
+line starts a new paragraph; consequently, this will generate an
+error message. This turns out to be useful, for one of the
+easiest errors to make is to forget to put in the trailing dollar
+sign(s) after the mathematical input (I promise that you'll do it
+at least once while learning \TeX{}); if \TeX{} allowed more than
+one paragraph to be between the dollars signs, then one omitted
+trailing dollar sign might cause the rest of the document to be
+typeset as mathematics.
+
+Most mathematical text is entered in exactly the same way for
+in-line typesetting as for displayed typesetting (except for the
+surrounding dollar signs, of course). The exceptions, such as
+aligning multiline displays and placing equation numbers at the
+left or right margin will be discussed in the last part of this
+section.
+
+Many new symbols can appear when typesetting mathematics. Most
+of the ones that actually appear on the keyboard can be used
+directly. The symbols {\tt + - / * = ' | < > (} and {\tt )} are
+all entered directly. Here they are as mathematics: $+ - / * =\>
+'\> | <\> >\> ( \> )$.

+Binary operators combine two mathematical objects to get another
+object. Ordinary addition and multiplication, for example,
+combine two numbers to get another number, and so they are binary
+operators. When a binary operator such as $+$ or $\times$ is
+typeset, a little extra space is put around it. Here is a list of
+some of the available binary operators:

+\subsection{Fractions}
+
+There are two methods of typesetting a fraction: it can be
+typeset either in the form $1/2$ or in the form ${1\over2}$\null.
+The first case is just entered with no special control sequences,
+that is, {\tt \$1/2\$}\null. The second case uses the control
+word {\tt \\over} and the following pattern: {\tt \lb
+<numerator> \\over <denominator>\rb}\null. Hence {\tt \$\$\lb a+b
+\\over c+d\rb.\$\$} gives \TeXref{139--140}
+\toindex{over} $${a+b\over c+d}.$$
+
+\exercise Typeset the following: ${a+b\over c}\quad {a\over b+c}
+\quad {1\over a+b+c} \not= {1\over a}+{1\over b}+{1\over c}$.
+
+\exercise Typeset: What are the points where
+${\partial \over \partial x} f(x,y) = {\partial \over \partial y}
+f(x,y) = 0$?
+
+\subsection{Subscripts and superscripts}
+
+Subscripts and superscripts are particularly easy to enter using
+\TeX\null. The characters {\tt \_{}} and {\tt \^{}} are used to
+indicate that the next character is a subscript or a superscript.
+Thus {\tt \$x\^{}2\$} gives $x^2$ and {\tt \$x\_{}2\$} gives
+$x_2$\null. To get several characters as a subscript or
+superscript, they are grouped together within braces. Hence we
+can use {\tt \$x\^{}\lb 21\rb\$} to get $x^{21}$ and {\tt \$x\_{}\lb
+21\rb\$} to get $x_{21}$\null. Notice that the
+superscripts and subscripts are automatically typeset in a
+smaller type size. The situation is only slightly more
+complicated for a second layer of subscripts or superscripts.
+You can {\sl not\/} use {\tt \$x\_{}2\_{}3\$} since this could
+have two possible interpretations, namely, {\tt \$x\_{}\lb 2\_{}3\rb\$}
+or {\tt \$\lb x\_{}2\rb\_{}3\$}; this gives two
+different results: $x_{2_3}$ and ${x_2}_3$, the first of which is
+the usual mathematical subscript notation. Thus you must put in
+the complete braces to describe multiple layers of subscripts and
+superscripts. They may be done to any level.
+\TeXref{128--130}
+
+To use both subscripts and superscripts on one symbol, you use
+both the {\tt \_{}} and {\tt \^{}} in either order. Thus either
+{\tt \$x\_{}2\^{}1\$} or {\tt\$x\^{}1\_{}2\$} will give $x_2^1$.
+
+\exercise
+Typeset each of the following: $e^x \quad e^{-x} \quad
+e^{i\pi}+1=0 \quad x_0 \quad x_0^2 \quad {x_0}^2 \quad 2^{x^x}$.
+
+\exercise Typeset:
+$\nabla^2 f(x,y) = {\partial^2 f \over\partial x^2}
++ {\partial^2 f \over\partial y^2}$.
+\bigskip
+
+A similar method is used for summations and integrals. The input
+of {\tt \$\\sum\_{}\lb k=1\rb\^{}n k\^{}2\$} will give $\sum_{k=1}^n
+k^2$, and {\tt \$\\int\_{}0\^{}x f(t) dt\$} will
+give $\int_0^x f(t) dt$.
+\TeXref{144--145}
+\toindex{sum}
+\toindex{int}
+
+Another use of this type of input is for expressions
+involving limits. You can use
+{\tt \$\\lim\_\lb n\\to \\infty\rb (\lb n+1 \\over n\rb)\^{}n = e\$}
+to get $\lim_{n\to \infty} ({n+1\over n})^n = e$.

+\bigskip
+
+Here's a hint to make integrals look a little nicer: look at the
+difference between $\int_0^x f(t) dt$ and $\int_0^x f(t)\, dt$\null.
+In the second case there is a little extra space after
+$f(t)$, and it looks nicer; {\tt \\,} was used to add the
+additional space.
+\toindex{,}
+
+\exercise Typeset the following integral: $\int_0^1 3x^2\,dx = 1$.
+
+\subsection{Roots, square and otherwise}
+
+To typeset a square root it is only necessary to use the construction
+{\tt \\sqrt\lb$\ldots$\rb}\null. Hence {\tt \$\\sqrt\lb x\^{}2+y\^{}2\rb\$}
+will give $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$\null. Notice that \TeX{} takes care of the
+placement of symbols and the height and length of the radical.
+To make cube or other roots, the control words {\tt \\root} and {\tt
+\\of} are used. You get $\root n \of {1+x^n}$ from the
+input\TeXref{130--131} {\tt \$\\root n \\of \lb1+x\^{}n\rb\$}.
+\toindex{root}
+\toindex{sqroot}
+
+A possible alternative is to use the control word {\tt \\surd}; the
+input {\tt \$\\surd 2\$} will produce $\surd 2$.
+\toindex{surd}
+
+\exercise Typeset the following: $\sqrt2 \quad \sqrt {x+y\over x-y}
+\quad \root 3 \of {10}$ \quad $e^{\sqrt x}$.
+
+\exercise Typeset: $\|x\| = \sqrt{x\cdot x}$.
+
+\exercise Typeset:
+$\phi(t) = {1 \over \sqrt{2\pi}} \int_0^t e^{-x^2/2}\,dx$.
+
+
+\subsection{Lines, above and below}
+
+Use the constructions {\tt \\overline\lb$\ldots$\rb} and
+{\tt \\underline\lb$\ldots$\rb} to put lines above or below mathematical
+expressions. Hence {\tt \$\\overline\lb x+y\rb=\\overline x + \\overline
+y\$} gives $\overline{x+y}=\overline x + \overline y$\null.
+But notice that the lines over the letters are at
+different heights, and so some care is necessary. The use of {\tt
+\\overline\lb\\strut x\rb} will raise the height of the line
+over\TeXref{130--131} $x$\null.
+\toindex{overline}

+
+To underline non-mathematical text, use {\tt \\underbar\lb$\dots$\rb}.

+
+\exercise Typeset the following: $\underline x \quad \overline y
+\quad \underline{\overline{x+y}}$.
+
+
+\subsection{Delimiters large and small}
+
+The most commonly used mathematical delimiters are brackets,
+braces, and parentheses. As we have seen, they may be produced
+by using {\tt [ ] \\\lb\ \\\rb\ ( )} to get
+$[\>]\>\{\>\}\>(\>)\>$. Sometimes larger delimiters increase the
+clarity of mathematical expressions, as in
+$$\bigl(a\times(b+c)\bigr) \bigl((a\times b)+c\bigr).$$ To make
+larger left delimiters the control words {\tt \\bigl}, {\tt
+\\Bigl}, {\tt \\biggl}, and {\tt \\Biggl} are used in front of
+the delimiter; similarly, {\tt \\bigr}, {\tt \\Bigr}, {\tt
+\\biggr}, and {\tt \\Biggr} are used\TeXref{145--147} for the
+right delimiters. Hence {\tt \$\\Bigl[\$} and {\tt \$\\Bigr]\$}
+will produce $\Bigl[$ and $\Bigr]$.

+\subsection{Those special functions}
+
+There are several types of functions that appear frequently in
+mathematical text. In an equation like ``$\sin^2x + \cos^2x =
+1$'' the trigonometric functions ``sin'' and ``cos'' are in roman
+rather than italic type. This is the usual mathematical
+convention to indicate that it is a function being described and
+not the product of three variables. The control words {\tt
+\\sin} and {\tt \\cos} will use the right typeface automatically.

+\subsection{Hear ye, hear ye!}
+
+There is a particular macro that is used in almost every
+mathematical paper, and is different enough to require a special
+explanation. This is the {\tt \\proclaim} macro. It is used when
+stating theorems, corollaries, propositions, and the like. The
+paragraph following {\tt \\proclaim} is broken into two parts:
+the first part goes up to and including the first period that is
+followed by a space, and the second part is the rest of the
+paragraph. \TeXref{202--203}The idea is that the first part
+should be something like ``Theorem 1.'' or ``Corollary B.'' The
+second part is the statement of the theorem or corollary. Here
+is an example:
+\toindex{proclaim}
+
+\beginliteral
+\proclaim Theorem 1 (H.~G.~Wells). In the country of the blind,
+the one-eyed man is king.
+@endliteral

+
+\subsection{Matrices}
+
+Matrices are typeset using combinations of the alignment
+character {\tt \&} and the control word {\tt \\cr} to indicate
+the end of the line. Start with {\tt \$\$\\pmatrix\lb$\dots$\rb\$\$}.
+Into the space between the braces go the rows of the matrix, each
+one ended by {\tt \\cr}. The entries are separated by the
+{\tt \&}\null. For example the input
+\TeXref{176--178}
+
+\beginliteral
+$$\pmatrix{
+a & b & c & d \cr
+b & a & c+d & c-d \cr
+0 & 0 & a+b & a-b \cr
+0 & 0 & ab & cd \cr
+}.$$
+@endliteral

+gives as printed output
+$$\pmatrix{

+b & a & c+d & c-d \cr
+0 & 0 & a+b & a-b \cr
+0 & 0 & ab & cd \cr
+}.$$
+\toindex{pmatrix}
+
+The matrix entries in our examples have all been \centred{}
+within their columns with a little space on each side. They can
+be made flush right or flush left by inserting {\tt \\hfill}
+before or after the entry. Notice the differences between the
+following example and the previous one.
+
+\beginliteral
+$$\pmatrix{
+a & b & c \hfill & \hfill d \cr
+b & a & c+d & c-d \cr
+0 & 0 & a+b & a-b \cr
+0 & 0 & ab \hfill & \hfill cd \cr
+}.$$
+@endliteral
+
+\noindent
+gives as printed output
+
+$$\pmatrix{

+}
+
+It's possible to have matrices that use other delimiters. Using
+{\tt \\matrix} instead of {\tt \\pmatrix} will leave off the
+parentheses, so the delimiters must be explicitly included using
+{\tt \\left} and {\tt \\right}. Here is how we can change the
+matrix of our first example.

+0 & 0 & ab & cd \cr
+}
+\right | $$
+
+It's even possible to use {\tt \\left.} and {\tt \\right.} to
+indicate that the opening or closing delimiter is deleted (note
+the use of the period).
+
+\exercise Use a matrix construction to typeset
+
+$$ |x| = \left\{ \matrix{ x & x \ge 0 \cr
+ -x & x \le 0 \cr} \right.$$
+
+This exercise and more general constructions of this type
+may also be typeset using the {\tt \\cases} macro.
+\TeXref{175}
+
+Sometimes ellipses are used within matrices. The control words
+{\tt \\cdots}, {\tt \\vdots}, and {\tt \\ddots} can be used to
+insert horizontal, vertical, and diagonal dots.
+
+Thus we can use
+\beginliteral
+$$ \left [
+\matrix{
+aa & \cdots & az \cr
+\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \cr
+za & \cdots & zz \cr
+}
+\right ] $$
+@endliteral

+to get as printed output
+$$ \left [
+\matrix{
+aa & \cdots & az \cr
+\vdots & \ddots & \vdots \cr
+za & \cdots & zz \cr
+}
+\right ] $$
+
+
+Matrices may also be typeset in-line, but they are pretty ugly
+unless they have a small number of rows.
+
+
+\subsection{Displayed equations}
+
+All of the mathematics covered so far has identical input whether
+it is to be typeset in-line or displayed. At this point we'll
+look at some situations that apply to displayed equations only.
+
+The first is that of aligning multiline displays. This is done with
+the alignment character {\tt \&} and the control words {\tt \\cr} and
+{\tt \\eqalign}. Starting with {\tt \$\$\\eqalign\lb$\dots$\rb\$\$},
+the equations to be aligned are entered with each one terminated by
+{\tt \\cr}. In each equation there should be one alignment symbol
+{\tt \&} to indicate where the alignment should take place. This is
+usually done at the equal signs, although it is not necessary to do
+so. For example
+\TeXref{190--192}
+\toindex{eqalign}
+
+\beginliteral
+$$\eqalign{
+a+b &= c+d \cr
+x &= w + y + z \cr
+m + n + o + p &= q \cr
+}$$
+@endliteral
+
+
+\noindent
+yields
+$$\eqalign{
+a+b &= c+d \cr
+x &= w + y + z \cr
+m + n + o + p &= q \cr
+}$$
+
+Displayed equations can be numbered at either the right or left
+margin. When the control word {\tt \\eqno} appears in a displayed
+equation, everything after the control word is put at the right
+margin. Hence {\tt \$\$ x+y=z. \\eqno (1)\$\$} yields
+$$ x+y=z. \eqno (1)$$
+To number an equation at the left margin, use {\tt \\leqno}
+in place of {\tt \\eqno}.
+\toindex{eqno}
+\toindex{leqno}
+
+It's possible to number aligned equations by using the control
+word {\tt \\eqalignno}. The alignment character {\tt \&} is
+used to separate the equation from the equation number.
+\beginliteral
+$$\eqalignno{
+a+b &= c+d & (1) \cr
+x &= w + y + z \cr
+m + n + o + p &= q & * \cr
+}$$
+@endliteral
+
+\noindent

+\section{All in a row}
+
+It's not uncommon to want to put a table in the middle of some
+text. Fortunately \TeX{} makes it easy to do this. In fact there
+are two separate methods of aligning text. The first is by using
+the tabbing environment. This is similar to setting the tab
+stops on a typewriter. Each line is handled individually,
+according to set tab columns, but with greater flexibility than
+that provided by a typewriter. The second is the horizontal
+alignment environment which typesets the whole table at once
+using a prescribed pattern.
+
+\subsection{Picking up the tab}
+
+To align material using the tabbing environment, you must first
+set the tab positions using the {\tt \\settabs} control word.
+Having done this, a line to use these tabs starts with the
+control symbol {\tt \\+ } and ends with {\tt \\cr } (remember
+that the actual spacing on lines in the input file in
+unimportant). \toindex{settabs}
+
+The easiest way to use the {\tt \\settabs} control word is to put
+the text into equal columns.
+\TeXref{231}
+Using {\tt \\settabs 4 \\columns} will set the tabs that will
+produce four equal columns. The tabbing is then done by using
+the alignment character {\tt \&} to move to the next tab stop.
+So, for example, \toindex{columns}
+
+\beginliteral
+\settabs 4 \columns
+\+ British Columbia & Alberta & Saskatchewan & Manitoba \cr
+\+ Ontario & Quebec & New Brunswick & Nova Scotia \cr
+\+ & Prince Edward Island & Newfoundland \cr
+@endliteral
+
+
+\noindent
+will produce the table
+\vskip\baselineskip
+
+\settabs 4 \columns
+\+ British Columbia & Alberta & Saskatchewan & Manitoba \cr
+\+ Ontario & Quebec & New Brunswick & Nova Scotia \cr
+\+ & Prince Edward Island & Newfoundland \cr
+
+Notice that it is possible to skip over some tab positions, and
+it is not necessary to use all of the tabs in a given line. To
+make the same table using five columns, it is only necessary to
+use {\tt \\settabs 5 \\columns} to reset the tab stops; then the
+same three lines from the last example will produce:
+\vskip\baselineskip
+
+\settabs 5 \columns
+\+ British Columbia & Alberta & Saskatchewan & Manitoba \cr
+\+ Ontario & Quebec & New Brunswick & Nova Scotia \cr
+\+ & Prince Edward Island & Newfoundland \cr
+
+In this example, the columns are smaller, of course. In fact
+there are two overlapping entries in the last row. This is
+because \TeX{} will tab to the next tab position even if (unlike
+a typewriter) it means going backward on the page.
+
+There is an interesting relationship between grouping and
+tabbing. The {\tt \\settabs} values are only applicable to the
+group in which it is defined, as would be expected. Thus it is
+possible to temporarily change the tab settings by grouping
+within braces. In addition, each table entry is in a group of
+its own. Hence we may make a single entry boldface, for example,
+by using {\tt \\bf} without braces. In addition, for any column
+but the last one it is possible to \centre{} the entry or to
+align it either on the left or on the right, or to fill a column
+with a line or dots. Each entry has an implicit {\tt \\hfil} at
+the end so that it will be at the left of the column by default.
+Adding {\tt \\hfil} at the beginning of the entry will then cause
+it to be \centred{}, just as with the {\tt \\line} control word.
+Adding {\tt \\hfill} to the beginning will cause the entries to
+be pushed to the right ({\tt \\hfill} acts just like {\tt \\hfil}
+in that it absorbs excess space; when both {\tt \\hfil} and {\tt
+\\hfill} appear, the {\tt \\hfill} takes precedence).
+\toindex{hfill}
+
+\beginliteral
+\settabs 4 \columns
+\+ \hfil British Columbia & \hfill Alberta \qquad & \bf Saskatchewan
+@hskip 2.5in & Manitoba \cr
+\+ \hfil Ontario & \hfill Quebec \qquad & \bf New Brunswick

+@hskip 2.5in & Prince Edward Island \cr
+\+ \dotfill && \hrulefill & \cr
+@endliteral
+
+\noindent
+will produce a table with the first column \centred{}, the second
+column flush right with a {\tt \\qquad} of padding, and the third
+column boldface. The control words {\tt \\dotfill} and {\tt \\hrulefill}
+give alternative column entries.
+\toindex{dotfill}
+\toindex{hrulefill}

+ & Nova Scotia \cr
+\+ \hfil --- & \hfill * \qquad & \bf Newfoundland &
+ Prince Edward Island \cr
+\+ \dotfill && \hrulefill & \cr
+
+\exercise Take the table of Canadian provinces above and \centre{} each
+entry within its column.
+
+The tab positions can be set with much more flexibility than just
+in equal columns. The general pattern is to use a sample line of
+the form {\tt \\settabs \\+ $\ldots$ \& $\ldots$ \& $\ldots$ \\cr}.
+The spacing between the alignment characters {\tt \&}
+determines the position of the tabs. For example, {\tt \\settabs
+\\+ \\hskip 1 in \& \\hskip 2 in \& \\hskip 1.5 in \& \\cr} would
+set the first tab one inch from the left margin, the next another
+two inches further in, and the third 1.5 inches more. It's also
+possible to use text to determine the distance between tabs. So,
+for example, another possible sample line is
+{\tt \\settabs \\+ \\quad Province \\quad \& \\quad Population \\quad
+\& \\quad Area \\quad \& \\cr}.
+The tab column would then be just wide enough to accept the headings
+with a quad of space on each side. Here's a more complete example:
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+\\settabs \\+ \\quad Year \\quad \& \\quad Price \\quad
+ \& \\quad Dividend \& \\cr
+\\+ \\hfill Year \\quad \& \\quad Price \\quad \& \\quad Dividend \\cr

+
+\subsection{Horizontal alignment with more sophisticated patterns}
+
+The {\tt \\settabs} environment is not difficult to use, and once
+the pattern is set, it can be used repeatedly in different
+portions of the text that follows. It does have some drawbacks,
+however. For one, the column size must be set before the entries
+are known. Also, even though in one case we wanted the third
+column to be boldface, it had to be specified in each line.
+These problems can be handled more easily by using the {\tt
+\\halign} environment.
+\TeXref{235--238}
+\toindex{halign}
+
+
+The general pattern in the {\tt \\halign} is as follows:
+\beginuser
+\\halign\lb{} <template line> \\cr
+<first display line> \\cr
+<second display line> \\cr
+$\vdots$
+<last display line> \\cr
+\rb
+\enduser
+
+Both the template line and the display lines are divided into
+sections by the alignment symbol {\tt \&}\null. In the template
+line each section uses control words in the same manner as does
+{\tt \\line\lb\rb}\null. The control word {\tt \\hfil}, for
+example, can be used to display flush left, flush right, or \centred.
+Fonts can be changed using {\tt \\bf}, {\tt \\it}, etc.
+Text may also be entered in the template line. In addition the
+special symbol {\tt \#} must appear once in each section. Each
+display line is then set by substituting each section of the
+display line into its corresponding section of the template line
+at the occurrence of the {\tt \#}\null.
+
+Consider the following example:
+
+\beginuser
+\\halign\lb\\hskip 2 in \$\#\$\& \\hfil \\quad \# \\hfil \& \\qquad \$\#\$
+ \hskip 3in \& \\hfil \\quad \# \\hfil \\cr
+\\alpha \& alpha \& \\beta \& beta \\cr
+\\gamma \& gamma \& \\delta \& delta \\cr
+\\epsilon \& epsilon \& \\zeta \& zeta \\cr
+\rb
+\enduser
+
+\noindent The template line indicates that the first section of
+the typeset text will always be set two inches in from the left
+and also be set as mathematics. The second section will be \centred{}
+after adding a quad of space on the left. The third
+and fourth sections are handled similarly. Here is the result:
+\vskip\baselineskip
+
+\halign{\hskip 2in $#$& \hfil\quad # \hfil & \qquad $#$
+ & \hfil\quad # \hfil\cr
+\alpha & alpha & \beta & beta \cr
+\gamma & gamma & \delta & delta \cr
+\epsilon & epsilon & \zeta & zeta \cr
+}
+
+In this case the first display line is formed by substituting {\tt
+\\alpha} for the first {\tt \#} in the template line, {\tt alpha} for
+the second {\tt \#}, {\tt \\beta} for the third and {\tt beta} for
+the fourth. The whole line is then saved for setting. This
+continues until all the lines are accumulated, and then they are set
+with each column being as wide as necessary to accept all of its
+entries (an implication of this accumulation process is that a table
+with too many entries could cause \TeX{} to run out of memory; it's
+better not to set tables that are more than a page or so long).
+
+Hence the template line establishes the pattern for the table entries
+and the display lines insert the individual entries.
+
+Sometimes horizontal and vertical lines are used to delimit
+entries in a table. To put in horizontal lines, we use {\tt \\hrule},
+just as we did in the {\tt \\settabs} environment.
+However, we don't want the rule to be aligned according to the
+template, so we use the control word {\tt \\noalign}. Hence
+horizontal lines are inserted by putting {\tt \\noalign\lb\\hrule\rb};
+vertical lines are inserted by putting {\tt \\vrule}
+in either the template or the display line. But still all is not
+completely straightforward. Suppose we take our last example and
+change the template to get vertical lines and also insert
+horizontal lines.
+\toindex{noalign}
+

+\noalign{\hrule}

+\noalign{\hrule}
+\epsilon & epsilon & \zeta & zeta \cr
+\noalign{\hrule}
+}
+
+There are several deficiencies: the most obvious is the extended
+horizontal lines, but also the text looks somewhat squashed into
+the boxes. In addition, the text has a little extra space on the
+right rather than being perfectly \centred. As in the {\tt \\settabs}
+environment, lines can be made taller by including the control
+word {\tt \\strut} in the template.\TeXref{82} A further problem
+can occur when the page is set since \TeX{} may spread lines
+apart slightly to improve the appearance of the page. This would
+leave a gap between the vertical lines, so we use the control
+word {\tt \\offinterlineskip} within the {\tt \\halign} to avoid
+this. Finally we can get rid of the lines sticking out on the
+left by deleting the {\tt \\hskip 2 in} from the template line.
+To move the table to the same position we use {\tt \\moveright}.
+Finally, we can see how to \centre{} the text by noting that the
+extra space occurs in the template line after the {\tt \#} where
+the text is inserted.
+Hence we can improve our result by using
+\toindex{offinterlineskip}
+\toindex{moveright}
+

+}
+}
+
+
+
+In general, if we want to construct a table with boxed entries
+that is \centred{} on the page, we can do so by putting the {\tt
+\\vbox} within a {\tt \\centerline\lb\rb}\null. But here is a
+trick that will produce a nicer result. If the {\tt \\vbox} is
+put in between double dollar signs, it will be typeset as
+displayed mathematics. Of course, there is no actual
+mathematics being displayed, but \TeX{} will put in a little
+extra space above and below the table as is appropriate for a
+display. Hence a \centred{} table with this nice spacing may be
+formed using the following four steps:
+(1) put a {\tt \\vbox} between double dollar signs,
+(2) put an {\tt \\offinterlineskip} and an {\tt \\halign} within
+the {\tt \\vbox},
+(3) in the {\tt \\halign} put a template line with a {\tt \\strut}
+in the beginning, and a {\tt \\vrule} surrounding each entry,
+(4) each row of the table should be preceded and followed by
+{\tt \\noalign\lb\\hrule\rb}.
+
+Here is the pattern to be followed:
+
+\beginuser
+\$\$\\vbox\lb
+\\offinterlineskip
+\\halign\lb
+\\strut \\vrule \# \& \\vrule \# \& \dots \& \\vrule \# \\vrule \\cr

+\dots

+\section{Rolling your own}
+
+In this section we'll create new control words. The making of
+these new definitions, also called macros, is one of the most
+powerful techniques available in \TeX\null. For the first
+application of this facility, we'll see how a new definition can
+save a lot of typing by substituting short strings for long ones.
+
+\subsection{The long and short of it}
+
+The control word {\tt \\def} is used to define new control words.
+The simplest form for doing this is {\tt \\def\\newname\lb$\ldots$\rb}.
+Then whenever {\tt \\newname} appears in your
+input file, it will be replaced by whatever is between the braces
+in the definition. Of course {\tt \\newname} must satisfy the
+convention for naming control sequences, that is, it must be a
+control word (all letters) or a control symbol (exactly one
+nonletter). So, for example, suppose you write a document that
+contains the phrase ``University of Manitoba'' many times. Then
+{\tt \\def\\um\lb University of Manitoba\rb} defines a new
+control sequence {\tt \\um} which can then be used at any time.
+The sentence {\tt I take courses at the \\um.}\ then makes
+sense. If the control word exists, your new definition will
+replace it (this includes the control words defined by \TeX{}, so
+a little care must be taken in the choice of name). Any
+definition is, however, local to the group in which it is
+defined. For example, \toindex{def}
+
+\beginuser
+\\def\\um\lb University of Manitoba\rb
+I took my first course at the \\um.
+\lb
+\\def\\um\lb Universit\\'e de Montr\\'eal\rb
+Then I took my next course at the \\um.
+\rb
+Finally I took my last course at the \\um.
+\enduser
+
+\noindent gives \medskip
+
+\def\um{University of Manitoba}
+I took my first course at the \um.
+{
+\def\um{Universit\'e de Montr\'eal}
+Then I took my next course at the \um.
+}
+Finally I took my last course at the \um.
+
+Remember that all spaces after a control word are absorbed; this
+includes the control words that you define. In the previous
+example, any space after {\tt \\um} would be ignored. However,
+the space after the first period and the space after the first
+opening brace are different; if you look closely at the end of
+the first sentence typeset using the example, you'll see some
+extra space. This can be eliminated by putting a {\tt \%} after
+the opening brace to make the rest of the line a comment. The
+same holds for the line with the last closing brace. Careful
+control of spaces often calls for the ``commenting out'' of the
+end of lines in this manner.
+
+Once a new control sequence has been defined, it may be used in
+new definitions. This is one way of making simple form letters.
+First let's define a simple letter.
+
+\beginuser
+\\def\\letter\lb
+\\par \\noindent
+Dear \\name,
+\
+This is a little note to let you know that your name is \\name.
+\
+\\hskip 2 in Sincerely yours,
+\\vskip 2\\baselineskip
+\\hskip 2 in The NameNoter
+\\smallskip \\hrule
+\rb
+\enduser
+
+\def\letter{
+\par \noindent
+Dear \name,
+
+This is a little note to let you know that your name is \name.
+
+\hskip 2 in Sincerely yours,
+\vskip 2\baselineskip\nobreak
+\hskip 2 in The NameNoter
+\smallskip \hrule
+}
+
+Now this letter uses the control word {\tt \\name}, which is
+undefined at this point. When {\tt \\letter} is used, the
+current value of {\tt \\name} will appear in the body of the
+letter. Hence
+
+\beginuser
+\\def\\name\lb Michael Bishop\rb
+\\letter
+\\def\\name\lb Michelle L\\'ev\\\^{}eque\rb
+\\letter
+\enduser
+
+\noindent will produce two copies of the letter, each with the
+correct name, followed by a horizontal rule:
+
+\def\name{Michael Bishop}
+\letter
+\goodbreak
+\def\name{Michelle L\'ev\^eque}
+\letter
+
+We could have put anything between the braces in
+{\tt \\def\\name\lb$\ldots$\rb}; it could be several paragraphs
+long and use other control sequences (although in this context it
+would be a little strange). Of course it is possible to use {\tt
+\\vfill \\eject} as part of the definition of {\tt \\letter} to
+eject the page when the letter is completed.
+
+\exercise Make a form letter that uses the control words {\tt \\name},
+{\tt \\address}, {\tt \\city}, {\tt \\\province}, and {\tt
+\\\postcode}.
+
+\exercise An unnumbered list of items is often made
+using {\tt \\item\lb\$\\bullet\$\rb}. Define a macro {\tt \\bitem}
+that does this, and use it for several paragraphs. Now change
+each bullet to a dash (note that a simple change in the macro
+propagates all the necessary changes in all of the paragraphs).
+
+\exercise Suppose that you are going to have to format several
+paragraphs in a paper using {\tt \\hangindent = 30 pt}, {\tt \\hangafter
+= 4}, and {\tt \\filbreak} (don't worry about what
+these control sequences actually do; the only important thing
+for now is that once they are set, they remain in effect for only
+one paragraph). Define a single control sequence {\tt \\setpar}
+which can then be put in front of each paragraph that needs to be
+so formatted.
+
+
+\subsection{Filling in with parameters}
+
+It's possible to use macros in much greater generality by
+allowing parameters to be passed. The idea is somewhat similar
+to the template line in the {\tt \\halign} environment. First,
+let's look at the case where there is one parameter. In this
+case a control sequence is defined by {\tt \\def\\newword\#1\lb
+$\ldots$\rb}\null. The symbol {\tt \#1} may appear between the
+braces (several times) in the definition of {\tt \\newword}. The
+material between the braces acts like a template. When {\tt
+\\newword\lb$\ldots$\rb} appears in the text, it will use the
+definition of {\tt \\newword} with the material between the
+braces inserted into the template at every occurrence of {\tt
+\#1} in the original definition. {\bf The spacing in the original
+definition is crucial here; there must be no spaces before the
+opening brace}.
+
+As an example, we could use the form letter of the last section in
+the following way:
+
+
+\beginuser
+\\def\\letter\#1\lb
+\\par \\noindent
+Dear \#1,
+\vskip\baselineskip
+This is a little note to let you know that your name is \#1.
+\vskip\baselineskip
+\\hskip 2 in Sincerely yours,
+\\vskip 2\\baselineskip
+\\hskip 2 in The NameNoter
+\\smallskip \\hrule
+\rb
+\enduser
+
+\def\letter#1{
+\par \noindent
+Dear #1,
+
+This is a little note to let you know that your name is #1.
+
+\hskip 2 in Sincerely yours,
+\vskip 2\baselineskip
+\hskip 2 in The NameNoter
+\smallskip \hrule
+}
+
+Now we can use
+
+\beginuser
+\\letter\lb Michael Bishop\rb
+\\letter\lb Michelle L\\'ev\\\^{}eque\rb
+\enduser
+
+\noindent to get \medskip
+\letter{Michael Bishop}
+\goodbreak
+\letter{Michelle L\'ev\^eque}
+
+\def\displaytext#1{$$\vbox{\hsize=12cm #1}$$}
+\bigskip
+\displaytext{
+Now let's define
+{\tt\\def\\displaytext\#1\lb \$\$\\vbox\lb\\hsize = 12 cm \#1\rb\$\$\rb}
+as a new macro to display text.
+Then {\tt \\displaytext\lb$\ldots$\rb} will cause the material
+between the braces to be put in a paragraph with width 12 \centimetre
+s and then \centred{} with some space added above and
+below as is appropriate for a display. This paragraph was set
+using this {\tt \\displaytext} macro.
+}
+
+The parameter of a macro can be no more than one paragraph long.
+If a new paragraph is encountered as part of a parameter, an
+error will be generated. This is a safety feature, for
+otherwise the accidental omission of a closing brace would cause
+\TeX{} to eat up the rest of the file as the parameter.
+
+\exercise Define a macro {\tt \\yourgrade} so that {\tt
+\\yourgrade\lb89\rb} will cause the following sentence to be
+typeset: The grade you received is 89\%\null. It should be able
+to work with any other percentage, of course.
+\medbreak
+
+It's not really any harder to use more than one parameter. The form
+used to define a new control word with two parameters is
+{\tt \\def\\newword\#1\#2\lb$\ldots$\rb}. The definition between the
+braces may have {\tt \#1} and {\tt \#2} occurring in it, perhaps
+several times. When {\tt \\newword\lb$\ldots$\rb\lb$\ldots$\rb}
+appears in the text, the material between the first set of braces
+replaces {\tt \#1} in the definition and the material between the
+second set of braces replaces {\tt \#2} in the definition. Here is
+an example followed by its result:
+
+\beginuser
+\\def\\talks\#1\#2\lb \#1 talks to \#2.\rb
+\\talks\lb John\rb\lb Jane\rb
+\\talks\lb Jane\rb\lb John\rb
+\\talks\lb John\rb\lb me\rb
+\\talks\lb She\rb\lb Jane\rb
+\enduser
+
+\def\talks#1#2{#1 talks to #2.}
+\talks{John}{Jane}
+\talks{Jane}{John}
+\talks{John}{me}
+\talks{She}{Jane}
+
+\exercise In a manner similar to the previous exercise, define a
+macro {\tt \\yourgrade} so that {\tt \\yourgrade\lb89\rb\lb85\rb}
+causes the following sentence to be typeset: You received a grade
+of 89\% on your first exam and a grade of 85\% on your second
+exam.
+
+\exercise Write a macro {\tt \\frac} so that {\tt \\frac\lb
+a\rb\lb b\rb} will typeset the fraction ${a\over b}$.
+
+\bigskip
+It's important not to put any spaces before the first brace in
+the definition. If you do, \TeX{} will interpret the definition
+differently from the way described here. For more than two
+parameters, the method of definition is similar. To define a
+control word with three parameters, start with
+{\tt \\def\\newword\#1\#2\#3\lb$\ldots$\rb}. Then {\tt \#1},
+{\tt \#2} and {\tt \#3} may occur between the braces. When
+{\tt \\newword\lb$\ldots$\rb\lb$\ldots$\rb\lb$\ldots$\rb}
+appears in the text, the material between each set of braces
+replaces its corresponding symbol in the definition of the
+control word. The parameters may go up to {\tt \#9}.
+
+\subsection{By any other name}
+
+Sometimes it's convenient to be able to give a control word an
+alternative name. For example, if you prefer a different spelling,
+you might want to call the control word {\tt \\centerline} by the
+name of {\tt \\centreline}. This can be done by using the {\tt
+\\let} control word. The use of {\tt \\let \\centreline =
+\\centerline} now makes a new (as well as the old) control word
+available. This can also be used with mathematical names as with
+{\tt \\let \\tensor = \\otimes}. It is then possible to use
+\TeXref{206--207}
+
+\toindex{let}
+\toindex{centreline}
+\toindex{tensor}
+
+\let\tensor=\otimes
+\beginuser
+\$\$ (A \\tensor B) (C \\tensor D) = AC \\tensor BD. \$\$
+\enduser
+
+\noindent to get
+
+$$ (A \tensor B) (C \tensor D) = AC \tensor BD. $$
+
+
+
+\exercise Define control sequences {\tt \\ll}, {\tt \\cl}, and
+{\tt \\rl} that are equivalent to {\tt \\leftline}, {\tt \\centerline},
+and {\tt \\rightline}.
+
+The {\tt \\let} control word allows users to name their own
+control sequences. This allows a personalized set of control
+sequences that may be used in place of the ones provided by \TeX{}
+when desired.
+
+\section{To err is human}
+
+In some ways \TeX{} is not completely divine. \TeX{} will respond
+to invalid input by giving an error message to the screen if you
+are using it interactively and also to the log file. Because
+\TeX{} is very complicated, the actual point where the error is
+detected may be deep within the program, so a full report of the
+error may be rather long and involved. Not only that, \TeX{}
+will try to recover from errors, and will report what was done in
+that process. For this reason the reading of error messages may
+be a little difficult for the uninitiated. The key is to know
+what is important from your perspective and what can be safely
+ignored. So let's look at some typical errors and the messages
+that they generate.
+
+\subsection{The forgotten bye}
+
+The first mistake that we'll look at is one that everyone makes
+at some time, namely, the omission of {\tt \\bye} at the end of
+the file. If you're using \TeX{} interactively, an asterisk \hfil
+\break
+\leftline{\tt *}
+will be printed on the screen and nothing will happen since,
+having not been told to finish up, \TeX{} is waiting for input
+(from your keyboard). Whatever you type in will be appended to
+whatever has been input from your files. The usual response is
+to type {\tt \\bye<CR>}\fnote{{\tt <CR>} is the key
+used to end a line of input. It might be called the carriage
+return, enter, or simply the return key on your terminal.
+Sometimes it is indicated by a large left arrow.} since that will
+finish things up.
+
+\subsection{The misspelled or unknown control sequence}
+
+Using a misspelled or other control sequence unknown to \TeX{} is
+a common error. If \TeX{} is being run as a batch job, an error
+message is printed and the job goes on ignoring the control
+sequence. When using \TeX{} interactively, it is possible to
+repair errors (of course this does not change the original input
+file, so that must be done when the \TeX{} job is completed).
+Suppose we have a \TeX{} input file consisting of the following
+two lines:
+\beginuser
+\\line\lb The left side \\hfli the right side\rb
+\\bye
+\enduser
+
+The control word should be {\tt \\hfil}, of course. Here is the
+message that would be sent to your terminal:
+
+\beginuser
+\obeyspaces
+! Undefined control sequence.
+l.1 \\line\lb The left side \\hfli
+\ the right side\rb
+?
+\enduser
+
+The first line starts with {\tt !} and gives the error message.
+Next comes the line number on which the error occurred and the
+part of the line that was read successfully. The next line gives
+the continuation of the line after the error. At this point the
+question mark means that \TeX{} is waiting for a response. There
+are several legal ones:
+\nobreak
+\maketable [Responses to \TeX{} error messages]
+\halign{
+\strut \hfil # \hfil & \quad \hfil \tt # \hfil & # \hfil\cr
+ \bf Desired response & \bf Input to \TeX{} & \bf \hfil Result\cr
+ \noalign{\hrule} \noalign{\smallskip}
+ Help & h<CR>& Reason for stopping listed on terminal.\cr
+ Insert & i<CR>& Next line inserted into \TeX{} input file.\cr
+ Exit & x<CR>& Exit from \TeX\null. Completed pages to DVI file.\cr
+ Scroll & s<CR>& List message and continue after minor errors.\cr
+ Run & r<CR>& List message and continue after any errors.\cr
+ Quiet & q<CR>& All terminal listings suppressed.\cr
+ Carry on &<CR> & \TeX{} continues as best it can.\cr
+ }
+
+In our last example a reasonable response might be to enter {\tt
+h<CR>} to get a help message, then {\tt i<CR>} to insert more
+text, (at which point \TeX{} responds with {\tt insert> } and
+finally {\tt \\hfil} as the correct control word. Here is the
+result:
+
+
+\beginuser
+? h <CR>
+The control sequence at the end of the top line
+of your error message was never \\def'ed. If you have
+misspelled it (e.g., `\\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
+spelling (e.g., `I\\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
+and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
+
+? i <CR>
+insert>\\hfil
+[1]
+\enduser
+
+The final {\tt [1]} means that the first (and only) page has
+been completed and sent to the DVI file. The original input file
+still needs to be fixed, of course.
+
+\subsection{The misnamed font}
+
+A misspelled font name is an error similar to the misspelled
+control sequence. The error message is different and a little
+confusing at first. Suppose for example the following appears in
+your input file:
+
+\leftline{\tt \\font\\sf = cmss01}
+
+It should be {\tt cmss10}, that is, the numbers have been
+transposed. Here are the error and help messages:
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+! Font \\sf=cmss01 not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
+<to be read again>
+\ \\par
+\\bye ->\\par
+\ \\vfill \\supereject \\end
+l.2 \\bye
+
+? h <CR>
+I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
+so I will ignore the font specification.
+[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
+You might try inserting a different font spec;
+e.g., type `I\\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.
+\enduser
+
+The TFM (\TeX{} font metric) file is an auxiliary file that is
+used by \TeX\null. So this strange message is just telling you
+that the font you defined doesn't exist on your computer system.
+
+\subsection{Mismatched mathematics}
+
+Another common error is to use {\tt \$} or {\tt \$\$} to start a
+mathematical expression and then to forget the second {\tt \$}
+or {\tt \$\$} when finished. The text that follows is then
+treated as mathematics, and to make matters worse, if more
+mathematics is started by a new {\tt \$} or {\tt \$\$}, it will
+then be treated as ordinary text. Needless to say, error
+messages galore may be generated. \TeX{} will attempt to correct
+the problem by inserting a new {\tt \$} or {\tt \$\$}; in any
+case, the problem is corrected by the end of the paragraph since
+a new paragraph will automatically start as ordinary text.
+
+Consider the following correct input and its output:
+\beginuser
+Since \$f(x) > 0\$, \$a<b\$, and \$f(x)\$ is continuous, we know that
+\$\\int\_{}a\^{}b f(x)\\,dx >0\$.
+\enduser
+
+Since $f(x) > 0$, $a<b$, and $f(x)$ is continuous, we know that
+$\int_a^b f(x)\,dx >0$.
+
+If we now leave out the second dollar sign in {\tt \$f(x)\$} we
+then get the following error and help messages:
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+! Missing \$ inserted.
+<inserted text>
+\ \$
+<to be read again>
+\ \\intop
+\\int ->\\intop
+\ \\nolimits
+l.2 \$\\int
+\ \_{}a\^{}b f(x)\\,dx >0\$.
+? h <CR>
+I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
+you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
+
+?
+\enduser
+
+The line starting with {\tt !} tells us what has been done. The
+line starting with {\tt l.2} shows us where we were in the input
+file when the error occurred. As in our other examples, the part
+of the line successfully read, that is, through {\tt \\int},
+appears on one line, and the continuation appears on the next
+line. The remaining material may seem somewhat obscure. These
+intermediate messages show what was happening further in the guts
+of the \TeX{} program when the error occurred. The newer user
+may ignore them.
+
+Here is what you get as output after \TeX{} tries to recover from
+the error.
+
+Since $f(x) > 0$, $a<b$, and $f(x) is continuous, we know that
+\int_a^b f(x)\,dx >0$.
+
+There is a stretch of text that is italic with no spacing. This
+is typical for normal text being processed as mathematics; if you
+see this in your output, you have almost certainly left out a
+{\tt \$} or {\tt \$\$}.
+
+\subsection{Mismatched braces}
+
+It's easy to forget or mismatch the closing braces when making
+groups. The result may be a relatively benign error, or it may
+be catastrophic. Suppose, for example, you have {\tt \lb\\bf A
+bold title } in your text with the closing right brace omitted.
+The result will be the same as if no opening brace were there;
+that is, the rest of the paper will be boldface if no other font
+changes are made. You will get the following message at the end
+of the file:
+
+{\tt (\\end occurred inside a group at level 1)}
+
+If you had made the same mistake twice, then there would be two
+more opening braces than closing braces, and you would get the
+message:
+
+{\tt (\\end occurred inside a group at level 2)}
+
+\TeX{} doesn't know that the closing brace is missing until it
+reaches the end of the input file. Hence the message doesn't
+tell you where you went wrong. If the location of the missing
+brace isn't obvious, it's always possible to insert {\tt \\bye}
+halfway through your document. Running \TeX{} again will cause
+only the first half to be processed, and if the error message
+persists, you will know that the error is in the first half of
+the document. By moving the {\tt \\bye} to different places, the
+error can be localized. Also, looking at the output often
+reveals what has gone wrong.
+
+Missing opening braces are much easier to spot. Here is a two
+line input file and the resulting error and help messages:
+
+\beginuser
+\\bf Here is the start\rb, but there is the finish.
+\\bye
+\enduser
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+! Too many \rb's.
+l.1 \\bf Here is the start\rb
+\ , but there is the finish.
+
+? h <CR>
+You've closed more groups than you opened.
+Such booboos are generally harmless, so keep going.
+\enduser
+
+It's quite possible, of course, that the line that is supposed to
+have the missing left brace will not be on the line where \TeX{}
+catches the error.
+
+A mismatched brace in the definition of a new control sequence
+can cause a major error. Since such a definition may include
+several paragraphs, it may not be caught by the end of a
+paragraph, but, rather will just keep piling more and more text
+into the unfinished definition. It's even possible for \TeX{} to
+run out of memory as it keeps eating up more text! This is called
+a ``runaway definition''.
+\TeXref{206}
+Here is a two line input file with a runaway definition:
+
+\vbox{
+\beginuser
+\\def\\newword\lb the def
+\\newword
+\\bye
+\enduser
+}
+
+Here are the resulting error and help messages:
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+Runaway definition?
+->the def
+! Forbidden control sequence found while scanning definition of \\newword.
+<inserted text>
+\ \rb
+<to be read again>
+\ \\bye
+l.3 \\bye
+
+? h <CR>
+I suspect you have forgotten a `\rb', causing me
+to read past where you wanted me to stop.
+I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
+you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.
+
+? <CR>
+No pages of output.
+\enduser
+
+This is obviously a serious error. If it occurs at the beginning
+of a file (as in the previous example), there will be no output
+at all!
+
+If a closing brace is left out while using a macro with
+parameters, the runaway definition will be terminated at the end
+of the paragraph. So if {\tt \\def\\newword\#1\lb$\ldots$\rb} has
+been defined and you use {\tt \\newword\lb$\dots$ } without the
+closing brace, then at most one paragraph will be ruined.
+\TeXref{205}
+
+In short, when an error occurs, make a note of the line number to
+see how much of the input file has been read, and also the line
+starting with an exclamation point to get a short description of
+the error. If the error is still not clear, ask \TeX{} for more
+information by typing {\tt h<CR>}. For small errors, \TeX{} can
+carry on quite a way if you just keep hitting the {\tt <CR>}.
+
+
+
+
+\section{Digging a little deeper}
+
+In this section we look at a few topics that allow \TeX{} to be
+used with greater flexibility or efficiency. As the documents
+being produced get longer, different techniques can help make
+their creation easier.
+
+\subsection{Big files, little files}
+
+\TeX{} can read and write files as it runs. This makes it
+possible to use files that are smaller and more convenient to
+handle by creating a master file that reads the smaller files in
+the proper order. This document, for example, consists of ten
+sections plus an introduction. In addition, there are macros
+that are used for all sections. The macros can be put in a file
+called, say, {\tt macros.tex}, the introduction can be put in {\tt
+intro.tex}, and each section put in its own file. The control
+word {\tt \\input} is then used to read in a file. In general,
+{\tt \\input filename} will cause the file called {\tt
+filename.tex} to be read in and processed immediately, just as if
+the text of {\tt filename.tex} had been part of the file that
+read it in. This file may input other files. In fact it's often
+convenient to make a single file that reads in smaller pieces,
+perhaps as follows:
+\toindex{input}
+
+\beginuser
+\\input macros
+\\input intro
+\\input sec1
+\\input sec2
+\\input sec3
+\\input sec4
+\\input sec5
+\\input sec6
+\\input sec7
+\\input sec8
+\\input sec9
+\\input sec10
+\enduser
+
+While the text is still being heavily edited, it's possible to
+process only some of the files by putting a {\tt \%} at the
+beginning of each line that contains a file to be skipped (this
+is sometimes called ``commenting out'' the unwanted files).
+
+The {\tt \\input} control word also allows the use of
+predesigned macros. The macros for a memorandum, for example,
+might be put in a file called {\tt memo.tex}. These macros might
+set up the right {\tt \\hsize}, {\tt \\vsize} and other
+parameters, and might stamp the time and date. Once this has
+been set up, all memoranda may be started with {\tt \\input memo}
+to make them come out with a common format.
+
+Be sure that you don't have the control word {\tt \\bye} in your
+input file or the \TeX{} program will stop at that point.
+
+\exercise Make a \TeX{} input file that reads in a second file.
+Try reading in the second file twice using the {\tt \\input}
+control word twice.
+
+\subsection{Larger macro packages}
+
+Designing macros that can be used with many types of documents
+is obviously useful. Most universities, for example, have
+specific and often complicated format requirements for theses. A
+collection of macros, that is, a macro package that meets all
+these specifications could be somewhat time consuming to design
+and could be quite long. It is possible to use the {\tt \\input}
+command to use such a macro package, just as it is possible to
+use it with your own macros. But \TeX{} has a better facility
+for larger packages.
+
+A macro package can be put in a special form that can be quickly
+read by \TeX\null. This is called a {\sl format file}, and
+the exact form is of technical interest only. The important
+thing is it allows \TeX{} to be run with many new control
+sequences predefined. Certain commands called {\sl primitives\/}
+are part of the definition of \TeX\null.
+
+What we have described in this manual is sometimes called {\sl
+plain \TeX\/}, and consists of the \TeX{} primitives plus a set
+of macros in a format file (that is usually included in \TeX{}
+automatically) called {\tt plain.fmt}. For the curious, any
+control word can be viewed using {\tt \\show}. The command {\tt
+\\show\\centerline} will display
+\beginliteral
+> \centerline=macro:
+#1->\line {\hss #1\hss }.
+@endliteral
+\noindent
+on the screen and in the log file. You can use {\tt \\show} with
+your own macros, too. If you end up using several macro
+packages, you can use the {\tt \\show} command to see if a
+particular macro is defined.
+
+Many computer \centre{}s have the \LaTeX{} macro package. This
+package allows the user to create an index, a table of contents,
+and a bibliography automatically. It also has the ability to
+insert some elementary graphic figures such as circles, ovals,
+lines, and arrows. \LaTeX{} also uses special predefined files
+called {\sl style files\/} to set up
+specific page parameters. Many different style files are
+available; some journals will accept papers on a magnetic medium
+for direct processing if they are prepared using \LaTeX{} and a
+designated style file. It is not difficult to shift from \TeX{}
+to \LaTeX\null. A user's guide by the author of the macro
+package, Leslie Lamport, is available:
+{\bf \LaTeX{}: A document preparation system}%
+\fnote{Addison-Wesley, Reading, Massachusetts, 1986,
+ISBN 0-201-15790-X.}.
+
+The American Mathematical Society uses the \AMSTeX{} macro
+package for its journals. It is readily available from that
+Society, and papers may be submitted to their journals on a
+magnetic medium using \AMSTeX\null. A manual by Michael Spivak,
+{\bf The Joy of \TeX{}}\fnote{American Mathematical
+Society, 1986, ISBN 0-8218-2999-8}, is available from the
+American Mathematical Society.
+
+Other macro packages exist, and undoubtedly more will be
+developed. They are usually of modest cost and can be very
+effective in some circumstances. The \TeX{} Users Group
+announces the existence of new macro packages in its
+publications.
+
+\subsection{Horizontal and vertical lines}
+
+Making horizontal and vertical lines is easy using \TeX\null.
+When typing in text, {\tt \\hrule } will cause the current
+paragraph to end, will draw a horizontal line whose width is the
+current value of {\tt \\hsize}, and then will continue on with a
+new paragraph. It's possible to specify the width of the hrule
+as, for example, with {\tt \\hrule width 5 cm}; also you can use
+{\tt \\vskip} or {\tt \\bigskip} to put some space above or below
+the hrule. Here is an example:
+
+\beginuser
+\\parindent = 0 pt \\parskip = 12 pt
+Here is the text before the hrule.
+\\bigskip
+\\hrule width 3 in
+And here is some text after the hrule.
+\enduser
+
+\noindent that produces
+\vfill\eject
+
+{
+\parindent = 0 pt
+Here is the text before the hrule.
+\bigskip
+\hrule width 3 in
+And here is some text after the hrule.
+}
+
+In fact this hrule not only has width of three inches, but also
+by default has a height (the amount by which the hrule extends
+above the baseline on which the type is being set) of 0.4 points
+and a depth (the amount by which the hrule extends below the
+baseline on which the type is being set) of 0 points. Each of
+these parameters can be individually set. Thus if we change the
+last example to say
+
+{\tt \\hrule width 3 in height 2 pt depth 3 pt } we get
+
+{
+\parindent = 0 pt
+Here is the text before the hrule.
+\bigskip
+\hrule width 3 in height 2 pt depth 3 pt
+And here is some text after the hrule.
+}
+
+The three parameters {\tt width}, {\tt height}, and {\tt depth} may
+be given in any order.
+\toindex{hrule}
+\TeXref{221--222}
+
+A vrule may be defined analogously to an hrule by specifying the
+{\tt width}, {\tt height}, and {\tt depth} if desired.
+\TeXref{221--222}
+But, unlike the hrule, the vrule will not automatically start a
+new paragraph when it appears. By default the vrule will be 0.4
+points wide, and will be as high as the line on which it is being
+set. Hence
+
+\toindex{vrule}
+
+\beginuser
+Here is some text before the vrule
+\\vrule\\
+and this follows the vrule.
+\enduser
+
+\noindent will give
+
+Here is some text before the vrule
+\vrule\
+and this follows the vrule.
+
+\exercise Make three horizontal lines that are 15 points apart,
+3 inches in length, and one inch in from the left margin.
+
+Although we usually think of hrules and vrules as horizontal and
+vertical lines, they need not necessarily be used that way. For
+example:
+
+\beginuser
+\\noindent
+Name: \\vrule height 0 pt depth 0.4 pt width 3 in
+\enduser
+
+\noindent will give
+
+\noindent
+Name: \vrule height 0 pt depth 0.4 pt width 3 in
+
+\exercise Make the following grid (each box is 1 \centimetre{} square):
+\medskip
+\settabs \+ \hskip 1cm&\hskip 1 cm&\hskip 1 cm& \cr
+\moveright 2 in

+\subsection{Boxes within boxes}
+
+We have already seen (in our discussion of line shapes) that
+vboxes and hboxes are objects that may be overfull or underfull.
+In this section we will look at these boxes in a bit more detail.
+They may be stacked or lined up to allow a variety of positions
+for text on the page.
+
+An hbox is formed by using {\tt \\hbox\lb $\ldots$\rb}\null.
+Once the material between the braces has been put into an hbox,
+it is set and can not be further split (this means that material
+that must go on one line can be put into an hbox, and it will
+then remain as one unit). It's possible to specify the size of
+an hbox.\TeXref{64--66} Thus {\tt \\hbox to 5 cm\lb contents of
+the box\rb } will produce an hbox exactly five \centimetre{}s
+wide containing the typeset text ``contents of the box''.
+It's easy to get an underfull or overfull box in this way. An
+underfull box can be avoided by using {\tt \\hfil} to absorb the
+extra space. When no dimension is given, an hbox is formed that
+is just wide enough to hold the enclosed text.
+\toindex{hbox}
+
+Similarly, vboxes are formed using {\tt \\vbox\lb $\ldots$\rb}.
+What makes these boxes interesting is that when a vbox contains
+hboxes, these hboxes are stacked one above the other and set as a
+unit. Similarly, an hbox can contain vboxes, which will be set in
+a row. Suppose we take three hboxes and put them in a vbox:
+\toindex{vbox}
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+\\vbox\lb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 1\rb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 2\rb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 3\rb
+\ \rb
+\enduser
+
+\noindent gives
+\vskip \baselineskip
+\vbox{
+ \hbox{Contents of box 1}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 2}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 3}
+ }
+
+Now suppose we take another vbox:
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+\\vbox\lb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 4\rb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 5\rb
+\ \rb
+\enduser
+
+These two vboxes can be put into an hbox; this will cause them to
+be placed side by side. In other words
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+\\hbox\lb
+\ \\vbox\lb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 1\rb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 2\rb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 3\rb
+\ \rb
+\ \\vbox\lb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 4\rb
+\ \\hbox\lb{}Contents of box 5\rb
+\ \rb
+\ \rb
+\enduser
+
+\noindent gives
+\vskip \baselineskip
+\hbox{
+ \vbox{
+ \hbox{Contents of box 1}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 2}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 3}
+ }
+ \vbox{
+ \hbox{Contents of box 4}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 5}
+ }
+ }
+
+
+Notice that the two vboxes are aligned so that the bottoms are
+level; also there is a little space at the beginning of each line
+and also between the vboxes. Actually, the reason these spaces
+appear is rather subtle. Unless a line ends in a control word,
+there is always a space between the last entry in one line and
+the first one in the next line. For this reason the space between
+the vboxes comes from the end of the line containing the closing
+brace of the first vbox. Similarly, the space at the beginning
+of the line is caused by the space after the opening brace of the
+hbox. These spaces can be avoided by ``commenting out'' the end of
+the line, that is, by putting a {\tt \%} immediately after the
+closing brace of the first vbox or the opening brace of the hbox.
+If you try to put some vboxes together and accidentally get extra
+space by forgetting to comment out the end of the line, you're in
+good company. Some very able and experienced \TeX{} users have
+done the same thing!
+
+Extra space, say one \centimetre, can be added by putting an
+{\tt \\hskip 1 cm } between the vboxes. They can be aligned so
+that the tops are level by using {\tt \\vtop } instead of
+{\tt \\vbox}. Making these two changes results in:
+
+\toindex{vtop}
+\vskip \baselineskip
+\hbox{
+ \vtop{
+ \hbox{Contents of box 1}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 2}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 3}
+ }
+ \hskip 1 cm
+ \vtop{
+ \hbox{Contents of box 4}
+ \hbox{Contents of box 5}
+ }
+ }
+
+
+We can combine vboxes, hboxes, vrules, and hrules to get boxed
+text. How might we construct such a box? One way is to take the
+material to be boxed and put it in an hbox preceded and followed
+by a vrule. Then put this in a vbox with hrules above and below
+it. This gives us:
+
+\beginuser \obeyspaces
+\\vbox\lb
+\ \\hrule
+\ \\hbox\lb\\vrule\lb\rb The text to be boxed \\vrule\rb
+\ \\hrule
+\ \rb
+\enduser
+
+\noindent which results in
+\vskip \baselineskip
+\vbox{
+ \hrule
+ \hbox{\vrule{} The text to be boxed \vrule}
+ \hrule
+ }
+
+This produces boxed material, but there is no margin around it
+and so it looks very cramped (of course \TeX{} is just giving us
+what we asked for). We can improve the spacing by putting a {\tt
+\\strut} at the beginning of the hbox to make it a little taller
+and deeper. This gives us:
+\vskip \baselineskip
+\vbox{
+ \hrule
+ \hbox{\strut \vrule{} The text to be boxed \vrule}
+ \hrule
+ }
+
+\def\boxtext#1{%
+\vbox{%
+ \hrule
+ \hbox{\strut \vrule{} #1 \vrule}%
+ \hrule
+ }%
+}
+
+\exercise Why is it that we were forced to add extra space above
+and below the text but not before and after it?
+
+
+\exercise Use the method of boxing material to put text \centred{}
+in a box which extends from the left to the right margin.
+
+\exercise By stacking nine little boxes, make the following magic square:
+\vskip\baselineskip
+
+\moveright 2 in \vbox{\offinterlineskip
+\hbox{\boxtext 6\boxtext 1\boxtext 8}
+\hbox{\boxtext 7\boxtext 5\boxtext 3}
+\hbox{\boxtext 2\boxtext 9\boxtext 4}
+}
+
+\exercise Notice that the magic square in the previous exercise
+has internal lines that are twice as thick as the outside ones.
+Also, there is a tiny space at the intersection of the internal
+lines. Fix up the magic square so this doesn't happen.
+
+\def\boxtext#1 {%
+\vbox{%
+ \hrule
+ \hbox{\strut \vrule #1\vrule}%
+ \hrule
+ }
+}
+
+\exercise Write a macro { \tt \\boxtext\#1\lb$\ldots$\rb } which
+will take the text between the braces and put a box around it. Test
+your macro by making up a sentence with every other word boxed.
+I'm \boxtext not quite \boxtext sure why \boxtext someone
+would \boxtext do this \boxtext since the \boxtext result is \boxtext
+pretty strange. Note how the baseline and the bottom of
+the surrounding boxes align.
+
+\def\boxtext#1 {%
+\lower 3.5pt \hbox{%
+ \vbox{%
+ \hrule
+ \hbox{\strut \vrule #1\vrule}%
+ \hrule
+ }
+ }%
+}
+
+It's easy to move boxes up, down, left, or right on the page. A
+{\tt \\vbox} can be moved to the right one inch by using {\tt
+\\moveright 1 in \\vbox\lb\dots\rb}. To move it to the left,
+use {\tt \\moveleft}. Similarly, an {\tt \\hbox} can be moved up
+or down using {\tt \\raise} or {\tt \\lower}.
+\toindex{moveright}
+\toindex{moveleft}
+\toindex{raise}
+\toindex{lower}
+
+\exercise Rewrite the {\tt \\boxtext} macro from the previous
+exercise so that all of the text is aligned (hint: by default the
+depth of a strut is 3.5 points). This would give a sentence like
+the following: I'm \boxtext not quite \boxtext sure why \boxtext
+someone would \boxtext do this \boxtext since the \boxtext result
+is \boxtext pretty strange.
+
+It's possible to fill a box with either an hrule or with dots.
+The idea is to use {\tt \\hrulefill } or {\tt \\dotfill } in the
+hbox.
+

+\\hbox to 5 in\lb Getting Started\\hrulefill 1\rb

+\hbox to 5 in{No Math Anxiety Here!\hrulefill 30}
+
