The questions answered here cover a +wide range of topics, but the actual typesetting issues are mostly +covered from the viewpoint of a LaTeX user. +<p/>You may use the FAQ +<ul> +<li> by reading a printed document, +<li> by viewing a PDF file, with hyperlinks to assist + browsing: copies are available formatted for printing on + <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq/newfaq.pdf">A4 paper</a> or on + <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq/letterfaq.pdf">North American “letter” paper</a>, or +<li> by using the FAQ’s web interface (base URL: + <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq">http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq</a>); this version provides simple search + capabilities, as well as a link to Google for a more sophisticated + search restricted to the FAQ itself, or +<li> via Scott Pakin’s <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/visualFAQ/visualFAQ.pdf">Visual FAQ</a>. +</ul> +<p/> +<b>Caveat: Acquiring files</b> +<p/>Most answers in this FAQ provide links for downloading +software; a large proportion of these links direct you to entire +directories on the CTAN archives. Unfortunately, some browsers +issue a sequence of commands that causes CTAN servers to deny +the existence of compressed archive files of the directory, that the +server would be happy to create “on the fly”. The FAQ +therefore offers three possible links for downloading directories +(that aren’t already designated “browse only”): the links give you +<code>.zip</code> and <code>.tar.gz</code> archives, and a link for browsing +the directory. +<p/>Fortunately, CTAN is switching to statically-generated +directory archive files; many directories mentioned in this FAQ +will also exist as <code>.zip</code> files on the archives, and won’t fall +foul of the browser problem. Of course, if the <code>.zip</code> file +does not exist, and the browser is playing up, you will need to use +the “browse” link. +<p/> +<p/><b>Origins</b> +<p/>The FAQ was originated by the Committee of the UK TeX +Users’ Group (UK TUG) as a development of a regular +posting to the <em>Usenet</em> newsgroup <i>comp.text.tex</i> that +was maintained for some time by Bobby Bodenheimer. The first +UK version was much re-arranged and corrected from the +original, and little of Bodenheimer’s work now remains. +<p/>The following people (at least — there are almost certainly others +whose names weren’t correctly recorded) have contributed help or +advice on the development of the FAQ: +Donald Arseneau, +Rosemary Bailey, +Barbara Beeton, +Karl Berry, +Giuseppe Bilotta, +Charles
