warning when used in \PDFTeX{}.
+\Question[Q-write]{Writing (text) files from \tex{}}
+
+\TeX{} allows you to write to output files from within your document.
+The facility is handy in many circumstances, but it is vital for
+several of the things \latex{} (and indeed almost any higher-level
+\tex{}-based macro package) does for you.
+
+The basic uses of writing to an external file are ``obvious''~---
+remembering titles of sections for a table of contents, remembering
+label names and corresponding section or figure numbers, all for a
+later run of your document. However, the ``non-obvious'' thing is
+easy to forget: that page numbers, in \tex{}, are slippery beasts, and
+have to be captured with some care. The trick is that \csx{write}
+operations are only executed as the page is sent to the \acro{DVI}
+or \acro{PDF} file. Thus, if you arrange that your page-number macro
+(\csx{thepage}, in \latex{}) is not expanded until the page is
+written, then the number written is correct, since that time is where
+\tex{} guarantees the page number tallies with the page being sent
+out.
+
+Now, there are times when you want to write something straight away:
+for example, to interact with the user. \TeX{} captures that
+requirement, too, with the primitive \csx{immediate}:
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+\immediate\write\terminal{I'm waiting...}
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+writes a ``computer-irritates-user'' message, to the terminal.
+
+Which brings us to the reason for that \csx{terminal}. \TeX{} can
+``\csx{write}'' up to 16 streams simultaneously, and that argument to
+\csx{write} says which is to be used. Macro packages provide the
+means of allocating streams for your use: \plaintex{} provides a macro
+\csx{newwrite}\csx{streamname}, which sets \csx{streamname} as
+the stream number. In fact, \csx{terminal} (or its equivalent) is the
+first output stream ever set up (in most macro packages): it is never
+attached to a file, and if \tex{} is asked to write to \emph{any}
+stream that isn't attached to a file it will send the output to the
+terminal (and the log).
+
+\Question[Q-spawnprog]{Spawning programs from \AllTeX{}: \csx{write18}}
+
+The \tex{} \Qref*{\csx{write} primitive instruction}{Q-write} is used
+to write to different file `streams'; TeX refers to each open file by
+a number, not by a file name (although most of the time we hide this).
+Originally, \tex{} would write to a file connected to a stream
+numbered 0--15. More recently, a special ``stream 18'' has been
+implemented: it is not writing to a file, but rather tells TeX to ask
+the operating system to do something. To run a command, we put it as
+the argument to \csx{write18}. So to run the \progname{epstopdf}
+program on a file with name stored as \csx{epsfilename}, we would
+write:
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+\write18{epstopf \epsfilename}
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+When using something like the \Package{epstopdf} package, the `stream'
+write operation is hidden away and you don't need to worry about the
+exact way it's done.
+
+However, there is a security issue. If you download some \alltex{} code from
+the Internet, can you be sure that there is not some command in it
+(perhaps in a hidden way) to do stuff that might be harmful to your
+\acro{PC} (let's say: delete everything on the hard disk!)? In the
+face of this problem, both \miktex{} and \tex{}~Live have, for some
+time, disabled \csx{write18} by default. To turn the facility on,
+both distributions support an additional argument when starting \tex{}
+from the command shell:
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+(pdf)(la)tex --shell-escape <file>
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+The problem with this is that many people use \alltex{} via a graphical
+editor, so to use \csx{write18} for a file the editor's settings must
+be changed. Of course, the settings need restoring after the file is
+processed: you defeat the point of the original protection, that way.
+
+The latest \miktex{} (version 2.9), and \tex{}~Live (2010 release) get
+around this by having a special ``limited'' version of \csx{write18}
+enabled `out of the box'. The idea is to allow only a pre-set list of
+commands (for example, \BibTeX{}, \progname{epstopdf}, \tex{} itself,
+and so on). Those on the list are regarded as safe enough to allow,
+whereas anything else (for example deleting files) still needs to be
+authorised by the user. This seems to be a good balance: most people
+most of the time will not need to worry about \csx{write18} at all,
+but it will be available for things like \Package{epstopdf}.
+
+Note that the \tex{} system may tell you that the mechanism is in use:

\section{Fonts}
-\subsection{\MF{} fonts}
-
-\Question[Q-useMF]{Getting \MF{} to do what you want}
-
-\MF{} allows you to create your own fonts, and most \TeX{} users
-will never need to use it~--- modern \AllTeX{} systems contain
-rather few \MF{} fonts of any significance, and when \MF{} output is
-needed the font generation is done, automatically, ``on the fly''.
-
-If you find you have some special requirement that the system doesn't
-satisfy, you need to know about \MF{} in rather more detail. \MF{},
-unlike \TeX{}, requires customisation for each output device: such
-customisation is conventionally held in a ``mode'' associated with the
-device. Modes are commonly defined using the \texttt{mode\_def}
-convention described on page~94 of \emph{The \MF{}book} % ! line break
-(see \Qref[question]{\TeX{}-related books}{Q-books}). You will need
-a file, conventionally called \File{local.mf}, containing all the
-\texttt{mode\_def}s you will be using. In the unlikely event that
-\File{local.mf} doesn't already exist, Karl Berry's collection of
-modes (\File{modes.mf}) is a good starting point
-(it can be used as a `\File{local.mf}' without modification in a
-typical modern implementation of \MF{}). Lists of
-settings for various output devices are also published periodically in
-\textsl{TUGboat} (see \Qref[question]{\acro{TUG}}{Q-TUG*}). Now create
-a \texttt{plain} base file using \ProgName{mf} (in ``initialisation''
-mode), \texttt{plain.mf}, and \texttt{local.mf}:
-\begin{htmlversion}
-\begin{quote}
-\begin{verbatim}
-% mf -ini
-This is METAFONT...
-**plain # you type plain
-(output)
-*input local # you type this
-(output)
-*dump # you type this
-Beginning to dump on file plain...
-(output)
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{quote}
-\end{htmlversion}
-\htmlignore
-\begin{list}{}{}\item\relax
- \texttt{\% mf -ini}\\
- This is METAFONT\dots{}\\{}
- \fullline{**\texttt{plain}\hss you type `\texttt{plain}'}
- (\emph{output})\\{}
- \fullline{*\texttt{input local}\hss you type this}
- (\emph{output})\\{}
- \fullline{*\texttt{dump}\hss you type this}
- Beginning to dump on file plain\dots{}\\{}
- (\emph{output})
-\end{list}\par
-\endhtmlignore
-This will create a base file named \File{plain.base}
-(or something similar; for example, it will be \File{PLAIN.BAS}
-on \MSDOS{} systems). Move the file to the directory containing
-the base files on your system.
-
-Now you need to make sure \MF{} loads this new base when it starts up. If
-\MF{} loads the \texttt{plain} base by default on your system, then you're
-ready to go. Under Unix (using the default \texlive{} (and earlier)
-distributions this does indeed happen, but we could for instance
-define a command \ProgName{plainmf}%
-\begin{footnoteenv}
- On the grounds that a command \ProgName{plain} could be misconstrued
- as a reference to \plaintex{}
-\end{footnoteenv}
-which executes `\texttt{mf -base=plain}' (or, in more traditional
-style `\texttt{mf \&plain}') which loads the \texttt{plain} base
-file.
-
-The usual way to create a font with \MF{} (with an appropriate base
-file loaded) is to start \MF{}'s input with the
-\begin{narrowversion}
- lines
- \begin{quote}
- \csx{mode}\texttt{=<mode name>;}\\
- \texttt{mag=<magnification>;}\\
- \texttt{input <font file name>}
- \end{quote}
-\end{narrowversion}
-\begin{wideversion}
-line
-\begin{verbatim}
-\mode=<mode name>; mag=<magnification>; input <font file name>
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{wideversion}
-in response to the `\texttt{**}' prompt or on the \MF{} command line. (If
-\texttt{<mode name>} is unknown or omitted, the mode defaults to
-`proof' mode and \MF{} will produce an output file called % ! line break
-\File{<font file name>.2602gf})
-The \texttt{<magnification>} is a floating point number or
-`magstep' (magsteps are defined in \emph{The \MF{}book} and
-\emph{The \TeX{}book}).
-If \texttt{mag=<magnification>} is omitted, then the default
-is 1~(magstep 0). For example, to generate cmr10 at 12pt for an Epson
-printer you might type
-\begin{quote}
-\begin{verbatim}
-mf \mode=epson; mag=magstep 1; input cmr10
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{quote}
-Note that under Unix the \texttt{\textbackslash } and \texttt{;}
-characters must usually be quoted or escaped, so this would typically
-look something like
-\begin{quote}
-\begin{verbatim}
- mf '\mode=epson; mag=magstep 1; input cmr10'
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{quote}
-If you need a special mode that isn't in the base, you can put its
-commands in a file (\emph{e.g.}, \File{ln03.mf}) and invoke it on the
-fly with the \csx{smode} command. For example, to create
-\File{cmr10.300gf} for an \acro{LN}03 printer, using the file
-\begin{quote}
-\begin{verbatim}
-% This is ln03.mf as of 1990/02/27
-% mode_def courtesy of John Sauter
-proofing:=0;
-fontmaking:=1;
-tracingtitles:=0;
-pixels_per_inch:=300;
-blacker:=0.65;
-fillin:=-0.1;
-o_correction:=.5;
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{quote}
-(note the absence of the \texttt{mode\_def} and \texttt{enddef}
-commands), you would type
-\begin{quote}
-\begin{verbatim}
-mf \smode="ln03"; input cmr10
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{quote}
-This technique isn't one you should regularly use, but it may
-prove useful if you acquire a new printer and want to experiment with
-parameters, or for some other reason are regularly editing the
-parameters you're using. Once you've settled on an appropriate set of
-parameters, you should use them to rebuild the base file that you use.

-\begin{ctanrefs}
-\item[modes.mf]\CTANref{modes-file}
-\end{ctanrefs}
-
-\Question[Q-keepfonts]{Which font files should be kept}
-
-\MF{} produces from its run three files, a metrics (\acro{TFM}) file, a
-generic font (\acro{GF}) file, and a log file; all of these files have the
-same base name as does the input (\emph{e.g.}, if the input file was
-\File{cmr10.mf}, the outputs will be \File{cmr10.tfm},
-\File{cmr10.nnngf}%
-\begin{footnoteenv}
- Note that the file name may be transmuted by such operating systems
- as \MSDOS{}, which don't permit long file names
-\end{footnoteenv}
-and \File{cmr10.log}).
-
-For \TeX{} to use the font, you need a \acro{TFM} file, so you need
-to keep that. However, you are likely to generate the same font
-at more than one magnification, and each time you do so you'll
-(incidentally) generate another \acro{TFM} file; these files are
-all the same, so you only need to keep one of them.
-
-To preview or to produce printed output, the \acro{DVI} processor will need a
-font raster file; this is what the \acro{GF} file provides. However, while
-there used (once upon a time) to be \acro{DVI} processors that could use
-\acro{GF} files, modern processors use packed raster (\acro{PK}) files.
-Therefore, you need to generate a \acro{PK} file from the \acro{GF} file; the
-program \ProgName{gftopk} does this for you, and once you've done that you
-may throw the \acro{GF} file away.
-
-The log file should never need to be used, unless there was some sort
-of problem in the \MF{} run, and need not be ordinarily kept.
-
-\Question[Q-getbitmap]{Acquiring bitmap fonts}
-
-When \acro{CTAN} was young, most people would start using \TeX{}
-with a 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) laser printer, and sets of Computer
-Modern bitmap fonts for this resolution are available on \acro{CTAN}.
-(There are separate sets for write-black and write-white printers, as
-well as sets at 120~dpi and 240~dpi.)
-
-Over the years, there have been regular requests that \acro{CTAN} should hold
-a wider range of resolutions, but they were resisted for two reasons:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item The need to decide which printers to generate fonts for. The
- broad-brush approach taken for 300~dpi printers was (more or less)
- justified back then, given the dominance of certain printer
- `engines', but nowadays one could not make any such assumption.
-\item Given the above, justifying the space taken up by a huge array
- of bitmap fonts.
-\end{itemize}
-Fortunately, \AllTeX{} distribution technology has put a stop to these
-arguments: most (if not all) current distributions generate bitmap
-fonts as needed, and cache them for later re-use. The impatient
-user, who is determined that all bitmap fonts should be created once
-and for all, may be supported by scripts such as \ProgName{allcm}
-(distributed with \texlive{}, at least; otherwise such a
-person should consult ``\Qref*{the use of \MF{}}{Q-useMF})''.
-
-If your output is to a \PS{}-capable device, or if your output is
-destined to be converted to \acro{PDF}, you should switch to
-using Type~1 versions of the \acro{CM} fonts. Two free
-sets are available; the older (\Package{bakoma}) is
-somewhat less well produced than the \Package{bluesky} fonts, which were
-originally professionally produced and sold, but were then released
-for general public use by their originators \YandY{} and Bluesky Research,
-in association with the \acro{AMS} and other scientific publishers
-(they are nowadays available under the SIL's Open Fonts Licence). The
-two sets contain slightly different ranges of fonts, but you are
-advised to use the
-\Package{bluesky} set except when \Package{bakoma} is for some reason
-absolutely unavoidable. In recent years, several other `\MF{}' fonts
-have been converted to Type~1 format; it's common never to need to
-generate bitmap fonts for any purpose other than previewing (see
-% beware of line wrap
-\Qref*{``previewing documents with Type~1 fonts''}{Q-PSpreview}),
-if even then.
-
-More modern fonts may be used in place of the Computer Modern set. The
-\Qref*{\acro{EC} fonts}{Q-ECfonts} and the % ! line break
-\Qref*{Latin Modern fonts}{Q-uselmfonts} are both close relatives of
-Computer Modern with wider ranges of glyphs to offer.

+\subsection{\MF{} fonts}
+
+\Question[Q-useMF]{Getting \MF{} to do what you want}
+
+\MF{} allows you to create your own fonts, and most \TeX{} users
+will never need to use it~--- modern \AllTeX{} systems contain
+rather few \MF{} fonts of any significance, and when \MF{} output is
+needed the font generation is done, automatically, ``on the fly''.
+
+If you find you have some special requirement that the system doesn't
+satisfy, you need to know about \MF{} in rather more detail. \MF{},
+unlike \TeX{}, requires customisation for each output device: such
+customisation is conventionally held in a ``mode'' associated with the
+device. Modes are commonly defined using the \texttt{mode\_def}
+convention described on page~94 of \emph{The \MF{}book} % ! line break
+(see \Qref[question]{\TeX{}-related books}{Q-books}). You will need
+a file, conventionally called \File{local.mf}, containing all the
+\texttt{mode\_def}s you will be using. In the unlikely event that
+\File{local.mf} doesn't already exist, Karl Berry's collection of
+modes (\File{modes.mf}) is a good starting point
+(it can be used as a `\File{local.mf}' without modification in a
+typical modern implementation of \MF{}). Lists of
+settings for various output devices are also published periodically in
+\textsl{TUGboat} (see \Qref[question]{\acro{TUG}}{Q-TUG*}). Now create
+a \texttt{plain} base file using \ProgName{mf} (in ``initialisation''
+mode), \texttt{plain.mf}, and \texttt{local.mf}:
+\begin{htmlversion}
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+% mf -ini
+This is METAFONT...
+**plain # you type plain
+(output)
+*input local # you type this
+(output)
+*dump # you type this
+Beginning to dump on file plain...
+(output)
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+\end{htmlversion}

+ \fullline{*\texttt{input local}\hss you type this}
+ (\emph{output})\\{}
+ \fullline{*\texttt{dump}\hss you type this}
+ Beginning to dump on file plain\dots{}\\{}
+ (\emph{output})
+\end{list}\par
+\endhtmlignore
+This will create a base file named \File{plain.base}
+(or something similar; for example, it will be \File{PLAIN.BAS}
+on \MSDOS{} systems). Move the file to the directory containing
+the base files on your system.
+
+Now you need to make sure \MF{} loads this new base when it starts up. If
+\MF{} loads the \texttt{plain} base by default on your system, then you're
+ready to go. Under Unix (using the default \texlive{} (and earlier)
+distributions this does indeed happen, but we could for instance
+define a command \ProgName{plainmf}%
+\begin{footnoteenv}
+ On the grounds that a command \ProgName{plain} could be misconstrued
+ as a reference to \plaintex{}
+\end{footnoteenv}
+which executes `\texttt{mf -base=plain}' (or, in more traditional
+style `\texttt{mf \&plain}') which loads the \texttt{plain} base
+file.
+
+The usual way to create a font with \MF{} (with an appropriate base
+file loaded) is to start \MF{}'s input with the
+\begin{narrowversion}
+ lines
+ \begin{quote}
+ \csx{mode}\texttt{=<mode name>;}\\
+ \texttt{mag=<magnification>;}\\
+ \texttt{input <font file name>}
+ \end{quote}
+\end{narrowversion}
+\begin{wideversion}
+line
+\begin{verbatim}
+\mode=<mode name>; mag=<magnification>; input <font file name>
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{wideversion}
+in response to the `\texttt{**}' prompt or on the \MF{} command line. (If
+\texttt{<mode name>} is unknown or omitted, the mode defaults to
+`proof' mode and \MF{} will produce an output file called % ! line break
+\File{<font file name>.2602gf})
+The \texttt{<magnification>} is a floating point number or
+`magstep' (magsteps are defined in \emph{The \MF{}book} and
+\emph{The \TeX{}book}).
+If \texttt{mag=<magnification>} is omitted, then the default
+is 1~(magstep 0). For example, to generate cmr10 at 12pt for an Epson
+printer you might type
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+mf \mode=epson; mag=magstep 1; input cmr10
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+Note that under Unix the \texttt{\textbackslash } and \texttt{;}
+characters must usually be quoted or escaped, so this would typically
+look something like
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+ mf '\mode=epson; mag=magstep 1; input cmr10'
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+If you need a special mode that isn't in the base, you can put its
+commands in a file (\emph{e.g.}, \File{ln03.mf}) and invoke it on the
+fly with the \csx{smode} command. For example, to create
+\File{cmr10.300gf} for an \acro{LN}03 printer, using the file
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+% This is ln03.mf as of 1990/02/27
+% mode_def courtesy of John Sauter

+fontmaking:=1;
+tracingtitles:=0;
+pixels_per_inch:=300;
+blacker:=0.65;
+fillin:=-0.1;
+o_correction:=.5;
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+(note the absence of the \texttt{mode\_def} and \texttt{enddef}
+commands), you would type
+\begin{quote}
+\begin{verbatim}
+mf \smode="ln03"; input cmr10
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{quote}
+This technique isn't one you should regularly use, but it may
+prove useful if you acquire a new printer and want to experiment with
+parameters, or for some other reason are regularly editing the
+parameters you're using. Once you've settled on an appropriate set of
+parameters, you should use them to rebuild the base file that you use.

+\Question[Q-keepfonts]{Which font files should be kept}
+
+\MF{} produces from its run three files, a metrics (\acro{TFM}) file, a
+generic font (\acro{GF}) file, and a log file; all of these files have the
+same base name as does the input (\emph{e.g.}, if the input file was
+\File{cmr10.mf}, the outputs will be \File{cmr10.tfm},
+\File{cmr10.nnngf}%
+\begin{footnoteenv}
+ Note that the file name may be transmuted by such operating systems
+ as \MSDOS{}, which don't permit long file names
+\end{footnoteenv}
+and \File{cmr10.log}).
+
+For \TeX{} to use the font, you need a \acro{TFM} file, so you need
+to keep that. However, you are likely to generate the same font
+at more than one magnification, and each time you do so you'll
+(incidentally) generate another \acro{TFM} file; these files are
+all the same, so you only need to keep one of them.
+
+To preview or to produce printed output, the \acro{DVI} processor will need a
+font raster file; this is what the \acro{GF} file provides. However, while
+there used (once upon a time) to be \acro{DVI} processors that could use
+\acro{GF} files, modern processors use packed raster (\acro{PK}) files.
+Therefore, you need to generate a \acro{PK} file from the \acro{GF} file; the
+program \ProgName{gftopk} does this for you, and once you've done that you
+may throw the \acro{GF} file away.
+
+The log file should never need to be used, unless there was some sort
+of problem in the \MF{} run, and need not be ordinarily kept.
+
+\Question[Q-getbitmap]{Acquiring bitmap fonts}
+
+When \acro{CTAN} was young, most people would start using \TeX{}
+with a 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) laser printer, and sets of Computer
+Modern bitmap fonts for this resolution are available on \acro{CTAN}.
+(There are separate sets for write-black and write-white printers, as
+well as sets at 120~dpi and 240~dpi.)
+
+Over the years, there have been regular requests that \acro{CTAN} should hold
+a wider range of resolutions, but they were resisted for two reasons:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The need to decide which printers to generate fonts for. The
+ broad-brush approach taken for 300~dpi printers was (more or less)
+ justified back then, given the dominance of certain printer
+ `engines', but nowadays one could not make any such assumption.
+\item Given the above, justifying the space taken up by a huge array
+ of bitmap fonts.
+\end{itemize}
+Fortunately, \AllTeX{} distribution technology has put a stop to these
+arguments: most (if not all) current distributions generate bitmap
+fonts as needed, and cache them for later re-use. The impatient
+user, who is determined that all bitmap fonts should be created once
+and for all, may be supported by scripts such as \ProgName{allcm}
+(distributed with \texlive{}, at least; otherwise such a
+person should consult ``\Qref*{the use of \MF{}}{Q-useMF})''.
+
+If your output is to a \PS{}-capable device, or if your output is
+destined to be converted to \acro{PDF}, you should switch to
+using Type~1 versions of the \acro{CM} fonts. Two free
+sets are available; the older (\Package{bakoma}) is
+somewhat less well produced than the \Package{bluesky} fonts, which were
+originally professionally produced and sold, but were then released
+for general public use by their originators \YandY{} and Bluesky Research,
+in association with the \acro{AMS} and other scientific publishers
+(they are nowadays available under the SIL's Open Fonts Licence). The
+two sets contain slightly different ranges of fonts, but you are
+advised to use the \Package{bluesky} set except when \Package{bakoma}
+is for some reason absolutely unavoidable. In recent years, several
+other `\MF{}' fonts have been converted to Type~1 format; it's
+uncommon ever to need to generate bitmap fonts for any purpose other
+than previewing (see % ! line wrap
+\Qref*{``previewing documents with Type~1 fonts''}{Q-PSpreview}),
+if even then.
+
+More modern fonts may be used in place of the Computer Modern set. The
+\Qref*{\acro{EC} fonts}{Q-ECfonts} and the % ! line break
+\Qref*{Latin Modern fonts}{Q-uselmfonts} are both close relatives with
+wider ranges of glyphs to offer.

+
+How does this happen?~--- \LaTeX{} guarantees that caption numbers are
+sequential in the document, but the caption number is allocated when
+the figure (or whatever) is created, and can't be changed. Thus, if
+floats are placed out of order, their caption numbers would also
+appear out of order in the body of the document (and in the list of

+means that simple failure to place a float means that no subsequent
+float can be placed; and hence (eventually) the error.
+
+Techniques for solving the problem are discussed in the % ! line break
+\Qref*{floats question}{Q-floats} already referenced.
+
+An alternative \emph{may} be to use the \Package{morefloats} package.
+The package will allocate more ``float skeletons'' than \latex{}
+does by default; each such skeleton may then be used to store a
+float. Beware that even with \Package{morefloats}, the number you can
+allocate is limited; even with the \Package{etex} package (which makes
+available many more registers, etc., than \latex{} does by default;
+\etex{} can create lots more registers, but none of those ``beyond
+the original \TeX{} default'' may be used in float skeletons). Thus,
+\Package{etex} may offer some relief, but it can \emph{not} be
+regarded as a panacea
+
+The error also occurs in a long sequence of float environments, with
+no intervening text. Unless the environments will fit ``here'' (and
+you've allowed them to go ``here''), there will never be a page break,
+and so there will never be an opportunity for \LaTeX{} to reconsider
+placement. (Of course, the floats can't all fit ``here'' if the
+sequence is sufficiently prolonged: once the page fills, \LaTeX{}
+won't place any more floats, leading to the error.
Techniques for resolution may involve redefining the floats using the

to get away without using \csx{clearpage} from time to time.

+<p/>Originally, free TeX previewers were only capable of displaying
+bitmap (PK) fonts, but free Type 1 font rendering software has
+been available for some time, and many previewers now use such
+facilities.
+<p/>The alternative, for previewers, is automatic generation of the
+requisite PK files (using <i>gsftopk</i>, or similar,
+behind the scenes).
+<p/>In the unlikely event that your previewer isn&#8217;t capable of either, you
+have a couple options:
<ul>
<li> Convert the DVI file to PostScript and use a
PostScript previewer. Some systems offer this capability as
standard, but most people will need to use a separate previewer such
as <i>ghostscript</i> or <i>ghostscript</i>-based viewers
such as <i>gv</i> or shareware offering <i>GSview</i>.
-<li> Under Windows on a PC, or on a Macintosh, let Adobe Type Manager
- display the fonts (textures, on the Macintosh, works like this).
- (See <a href="FAQ-commercial.html">commercial suppliers</a> for details.)
-<li> If you have the PostScript fonts in Type 1 format,
- use <i>ps2pk</i> or <i>gsftopk</i>
- (designed for use with the <i>ghostscript</i> fonts) to make
- PK bitmap fonts which your previewer
- will understand. This can produce excellent results, also suitable
- for printing with non-PostScript devices. Check the legalities of
- this if you have purchased the fonts.

-<p/>Two interesting alternative approaches, that the author has

-<i>Amsrefs</i> does away with BibTeX altogether, while

-<p/><i>Amsrefs</i> uses a transformed <code>.bib</code> file, which is

+<p/><i>Biber</i> is intimately associated with the LaTeX package
+<i>biblatex</i>; it is logically a BibTeX replacement, but is also
+capable of using bibliography databases in its own
+<i>biblatexml</i> (XML-based) format. <i>Biblatex</i>
+can also use BibTeX, but <i>biber</i> opens up a far wider
+range of possibilities, including full Unicode support.
+<p/><i>Biblatex</i> is a processor for the output of an application
+such as <i>biber</i> or BibTeX; the style of citations and of
+the bibliography itself (in your document) is determined by the way
+your <i>biblatex</i> style has been set up, not on some
+BibTeX-LaTeX package combination. <i>Biblatex</i>&#8217;s
+structure thus eliminates the collections of BibTeX styles, at a
+stroke; it comes with a basic set of styles, and details are
+determined by options, set at package loading time. The author,
+Philipp Lehman, evaluated the whole field of bibliography software
+before starting, and as a result the package provides answers to
+many of the questions asked in the bibliography sections of these
+FAQs.
+<p/><i>Biblatex</i> was released as experimental software, but it&#8217;s
+clear that many users are already using it happily; Lehman is
+responsive to problem reports, at the moment, but a <em>de facto</em>
+set of expert users is already establishing itself. A set of

-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label lollipop</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>What is Lollipop?</h3>
-<p/>Lollipop is a macro package written by Victor Eijkhout; it was used in
-the production of his book &#8220;<em>TeX by Topic</em>&#8221; (see
-<a href="FAQ-ol-books.html">(La)TeX Tutorials</a>). The manual says of
-it:
-<blockquote>
- Lollipop is &#8216;TeX made easy&#8217;. Lollipop is a macro package that
- functions as a toolbox for writing TeX macros. It was my
- intention to make macro writing so easy that implementing a fully
- new layout in TeX would become a matter of less than an hour for
- an average document, and that it would be a task that could be
- accomplished by someone with only a very basic training in TeX
- programming.
-<p/> Lollipop is an attempt to make structured text formatting available
- for environments where previously only WYSIWYG packages could be
- used because adapting the layout is so much more easy with them than
- with traditional TeX macro packages.
-</blockquote><p>
-<p/>The manual goes on to talk of ambitions to &#8220;capture some of the
-LaTeX market share&#8221;; it&#8217;s a very witty package, but little sign of
-
-it taking over from LaTeX is detectable&#8230;

+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label spawnprog</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Spawning programs from (La)TeX: <code>\</code><code>write18</code></h3>
+<p/>The TeX <a href="FAQ-write.html"><code>\</code><code>write</code> primitive instruction</a> is used
+to write to different file &#8216;streams&#8217;; TeX refers to each open file by
+a number, not by a file name (although most of the time we hide this).
+Originally, TeX would write to a file connected to a stream
+numbered 0&#8211;15. More recently, a special &#8220;stream 18&#8221; has been
+implemented: it is not writing to a file, but rather tells TeX to ask
+the operating system to do something. To run a command, we put it as
+the argument to <code>\</code><code>write18</code>. So to run the <i>epstopdf</i>
+program on a file with name stored as <code>\</code><code>epsfilename</code>, we would
+write:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\write18{epstopf \epsfilename}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+When using something like the <i>epstopdf</i> package, the &#8216;stream&#8217;
+write operation is hidden away and you don&#8217;t need to worry about the
+exact way it&#8217;s done.
+<p/>However, there is a security issue. If you download some (La)TeX code from
+the Internet, can you be sure that there is not some command in it
+(perhaps in a hidden way) to do stuff that might be harmful to your
+PC (let&#8217;s say: delete everything on the hard disk!)? In the
+face of this problem, both MiKTeX and TeX Live have, for some
+time, disabled <code>\</code><code>write18</code> by default. To turn the facility on,
+both distributions support an additional argument when starting TeX
+from the command shell:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+(pdf)(la)tex --shell-escape &#60;file&#62;
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+The problem with this is that many people use (La)TeX via a graphical
+editor, so to use <code>\</code><code>write18</code> for a file the editor&#8217;s settings must
+be changed. Of course, the settings need restoring after the file is
+processed: you defeat the point of the original protection, that way.
+<p/>The latest MiKTeX (version 2.9), and TeX Live (2010 release) get
+around this by having a special &#8220;limited&#8221; version of <code>\</code><code>write18</code>
+enabled &#8216;out of the box&#8217;. The idea is to allow only a pre-set list of
+commands (for example, BibTeX, <i>epstopdf</i>, TeX itself,
+and so on). Those on the list are regarded as safe enough to allow,
+whereas anything else (for example deleting files) still needs to be
+authorised by the user. This seems to be a good balance: most people
+most of the time will not need to worry about <code>\</code><code>write18</code> at all,
+but it will be available for things like <i>epstopdf</i>.
+<p/>Note that the TeX system may tell you that the mechanism is in use:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)
+ restricted \write18 enabled.

LaTeX has found it can&#8217;t place a float, and floats of the same type
-have piled up behind it. LaTeX&#8217;s idea is to ensure that caption
-numbers are sequential in the document: the caption number is
-allocated when the figure (or whatever) is created, and can&#8217;t be
-changed, so that placement out of order would mean figure numbers
-appearing out of order in the document (and in the list of figures, or

+have piled up behind it.
+<p/>How does this happen? &#8212; LaTeX guarantees that caption numbers are
+sequential in the document, but the caption number is allocated when
+the figure (or whatever) is created, and can&#8217;t be changed. Thus, if
+floats are placed out of order, their caption numbers would also
+appear out of order in the body of the document (and in the list of
+figures, or whatever). As a result, enforcement of the guarantee
+means that simple failure to place a float means that no subsequent
+float can be placed; and hence (eventually) the error.
+<p/>Techniques for solving the problem are discussed in the
+<a href="FAQ-floats.html">floats question</a> already referenced.
+<p/>An alternative <em>may</em> be to use the <i>morefloats</i> package.
+The package will allocate more &#8220;float skeletons&#8221; than LaTeX
+does by default; each such skeleton may then be used to store a
+float. Beware that even with <i>morefloats</i>, the number you can
+allocate is limited; even with the <i>etex</i> package (which makes
+available many more registers, etc., than LaTeX does by default;
+e-TeX can create lots more registers, but none of those &#8220;beyond
+the original TeX default&#8221; may be used in float skeletons). Thus,
+<i>etex</i> may offer some relief, but it can <em>not</em> be
+regarded as a panacea
+<p/>The error also occurs in a long sequence of float environments, with
+no intervening text. Unless the environments will fit &#8220;here&#8221; (and
+you&#8217;ve allowed them to go &#8220;here&#8221;), there will never be a page break,

+sequence is sufficiently prolonged: once the page fills, LaTeX
+won&#8217;t place any more floats, leading to the error.
<p/>Techniques for resolution may involve redefining the floats using the
<i>float</i> package&#8217;s <code>[H]</code> float qualifier, but you are unlikely
to get away without using <code>\</code><code>clearpage</code> from time to time.

-<h3>Am I using PDFTeX?</h3>
-<p/>It&#8217;s often useful to know whether your macros are operating within
-PDFTeX or within (&#8220;normal&#8221;) TeX; getting the right answer is
-surprisingly tricky.
+<h3>Am I using PDFTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX?</h3>
+<p/><p/>You often need to know what &#8220;engine&#8221; your macros are running on (the
+engine is the TeX-derivative or TeX-alike processor that
+typesets your document). The reason that you need to know is that the
+set of functions available in each engine is different. Thus, for
+TeX macros to run on any engine, they need to &#8220;know&#8221; what they
+can and cannot do, which depends on the engine in use. Getting the
+right answer is surprisingly tricky (see below for an elaboration of
+one apparently simple test).
+<p/>There is now a comprehensive set of packages that answer the question
+for you. They all create a TeX conditional command:
+<ul>
+<li> <i>ifpdf</i> creates a command <code>\</code><code>ifpdf</code>,
+<li> <i>ifxetex</i> creates a command <code>\</code><code>ifxetex</code> and
+<li> <i>ifluatex</i> creates a command <code>\</code><code>ifluatex</code>.
+</ul>
+These TeX commands may be used within the LaTeX conditional
+framework, as (for example):
+<blockquote>
+ <code>\</code><code>ifthenelse</code><code>\char&#8216;{</code><code>\</code><code>boolean{pdf}</code><code>\char&#8216;}\char&#8216;&lbrace;&lt;<i>if pdf</i>&gt;\char&#8216;&rbrace;\char&#8216;&lbrace;&lt;<i>not pdf</i>&gt;\char&#8216;&rbrace;</code>
+</blockquote><p>
+<p/>The <i>ifxetex</i> package also provides a command
+<code>\</code><code>RequireXeTeX</code> which creates an error if the code is not running
+under XeTeX; while the other packages don&#8217;t provide such a command,
+it&#8217;s not really difficult to write one for yourself.
+<p/>
+
+<p/>Now for those who want to do the job for themselves: here&#8217;s a
+discussion of doing the job for PDFTeX and <code>\</code><code>ifpdf</code> &#8212; the
+eager programmer can regenerate <code>\</code><code>ifxetex</code> or <code>\</code><code>ifluatex</code> in the
+same fashion. It&#8217;s not recommended\dots

+<h3>Writing (text) files from TeX</h3>
+<p/>TeX allows you to write to output files from within your document.
+The facility is handy in many circumstances, but it is vital for
+several of the things LaTeX (and indeed almost any higher-level
+TeX-based macro package) does for you.
+<p/>The basic uses of writing to an external file are &#8220;obvious&#8221; &#8212;
+remembering titles of sections for a table of contents, remembering
+label names and corresponding section or figure numbers, all for a
+later run of your document. However, the &#8220;non-obvious&#8221; thing is
+easy to forget: that page numbers, in TeX, are slippery beasts, and
+have to be captured with some care. The trick is that <code>\</code><code>write</code>
+operations are only executed as the page is sent to the DVI
+or PDF file. Thus, if you arrange that your page-number macro
+(<code>\</code><code>thepage</code>, in LaTeX) is not expanded until the page is
+written, then the number written is correct, since that time is where
+TeX guarantees the page number tallies with the page being sent
+out.
+<p/>Now, there are times when you want to write something straight away:
+for example, to interact with the user. TeX captures that
+requirement, too, with the primitive <code>\</code><code>immediate</code>:
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+\immediate\write\terminal{I'm waiting...}
+</pre>
+</blockquote><p>
+writes a &#8220;computer-irritates-user&#8221; message, to the terminal.
+<p/>Which brings us to the reason for that <code>\</code><code>terminal</code>. TeX can
+&#8220;<code>\</code><code>write</code>&#8221; up to 16 streams simultaneously, and that argument to
+<code>\</code><code>write</code> says which is to be used. Macro packages provide the
+means of allocating streams for your use: Plain TeX provides a macro
+<code>\</code><code>newwrite</code><code>\</code><code>streamname</code>, which sets <code>\</code><code>streamname</code> as
+the stream number. In fact, <code>\</code><code>terminal</code> (or its equivalent) is the
+first output stream ever set up (in most macro packages): it is never
+attached to a file, and if TeX is asked to write to <em>any</em>
+stream that isn&#8217;t attached to a file it will send the output to the
+terminal (and the log).
