-
-Sun Oct 2 17:14:30 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk)

-
-Sat Oct 1 (evening) 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
-
- * newfaq.tex: significant upheaval (several new questions, fewer new
- answers), following discussion with Jonathan;
- add \NeedsTeXFormat requirement (should this be in faq.sty?);
- new section The Background with some stuff moved out from Introduction,
- containing questions What is TeX?, What is LaTeX?, should I use plain
- or LaTeX?, why's it free?, why isn't it wysiwyg?, and what is the
- future?;
- Introduction completely re-written;
- new questions in The Latest Developments, What is the NTS project?,
- what is the LaTeX3 project?
-

-
-Thu Sep 29 12:43:52 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
-
- * newfaq.tex: lots of minor typos corrected;
- yet more markup added;
- one or two more of Joachim's comments addressed (but note new \Q about
- LaTeX 2.09 and `weird hyphenatoin')
-
- * faq.sty: load times.sty only \IfFileExists (such taste; such
- originality)
-
-Wed Sep 28 10:23:30 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
-
- * newfaq.tex: modified so that all question references (that I've
- spotted so far ;-) simply consist of a \Qref in parentheses;
- first iteration of sticking stuff in new sections;
- more books (well, one more) and into a new question;
- more markup tidying (\Newsgroup, \CTAN, etc.);
- now version 1.1, added \hfuzz and \emergencystretch
-
- * faq.sty: (possibly merely experimental ;-) made Questions into
- subsections, removed subsection from \cl@section, numbered sections
- alphabetically...;
- make \Qref produce "see question \ref{#1}"
-
-Tue Sep 27 16:10:17 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk)
-
- * newfaq.tex: change to use \BibTeX instead of \BiBTeX (since the
- latter's not one of the forms the name appears in texnames.sty;
- refer to PiCTeX, VorTeX through their (new) logo macros;
- similarly (though not new logos) tex->\TeX, AMS[La]TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX,
- SliTeX;
- correct wording describing incorporation of SliTeX into 2e (ex Joachim
- Schrod's suggestion)
-
- * texnames.sty: new, copied from eplain distribution, but with \PiCTeX
- and \VorTeX added (pro tem, at least)
-

-
-Tue Sep 27 14:17:51 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
-
- * faq.sty: markup commands in separate package (ultimately to come in
- several versions according to the environment it's to be processed in
- -- e.g., versions for PS font usage/cm font usage, even a version for
- processing to plain text?)
-
- * newfaq.tex: moved all the markup commands out to (new) faq.sty;
- couple of typos corrected following input from Joachim Schrod
-
-Thu Sep 22 09:18:38 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk)
-
- * newfaq.tex: (last night's work) new-style markup for question
- references, label for last question (so we can see how well we're
- doing), \makeshortverb of \| so as to get coherent log output
-
-Tue Sep 20 13:54:51 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk)
-
- * newfaq.tex: moved \documentclass, \usepackage above defs of
- fileversion and date, so as not to pick up that from mflogo;
- `getting a copy' - removed fileserv@shsu.bitnet, put various email
- addresses in \Email; put NEWS.ANSWERS into more coherent form
- (verbatim; and yes, it _does_ need to be upper case)
- `pictex manual': escape the $s (!)
- `oztex': it's now shareware, not PD
- `fig and where to get it': remove escape from _ in \path (!)
- `music': corrected email address for Taupin and his ftp site
- `double-spacing': doublespace.sty is a file name; close paren round ref
- to CTAN; "latest release of LaTeX"->"LaTeX2e"
- `macros to do Y': verbatim site index command <term> in text
- `... for machine Y running Q': FTP.nwc is a file, and yes, it is there
- ibid, both AIX and PC made explicit reference to fpt.dante.de
- `blackboard bold': tech-support is an email address; add reference to
- the extraordinary bbm fonts
- `repositories': correct address corresponding to ftp.tex.ac.uk; put
- site index command into verbatim
- `Laserjet': converted S's \Q about Berry's prog into an actual
- reference to it
- `\pagestyle{empty}': correct (;-) spelling of behaviour, "is"->"if"
- `NFSS': rewritten to clarify relationship to New LaTeX
- New question about things like \tenrm in 2e added
- `references wrong': line up corrected code in two columns
- `change margins': indent code
- `width of letter, etc.': indent examples; remove redundant `T' from
- LaTeX
- `LaTeX2e': first production release was June
- `log-like functions': indent examples
- `\@': "?" at end of question
- `Companion ... @': space after LaTeX in question, "!" at end
- `I've found a bug': slight elaboration of 2.09 case
- New version of path.sty with some hacking; redo all S's (and my one)
- markup commands
-
-Mon Sep 19 11:46:40 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home)
-
- * define \Newsgroup (same as all the rest, pro tem) and use it for
- comp.tex.tex, comp.unix.wizards, news.answers, comp.sources.unix,
- comp.programming.literate, comp.sources.misc, comp.text, comp.fonts
-
- * added new questions "what's all this about \@", "but the companion
- tells me to use \@startsection" and "I've found a bug: what do I do"
- (which last was a suggestion of Jonathan's)
-
- * put \fileversion in the title (rather than \filedate twice)
-
- * defined command \cs (out of ltxdoc.cls) so that we can put commands
- in question names, required for q32 about \pagestyle{emtpy}
