-\section{Welcome to \LaTeXNews~5}
-This issue of \emph{\LaTeXNews} accompanies the fifth release of the
-new standard \LaTeX{}, \LaTeXe.
-
-\section{Extra possibilities for section headings}
-Most \LaTeX\ sectioning commands are defined using
-\verb|\@startsection|.
-For example, the \textsf{article} class defines:
-\begin{small}
-\begin{verbatim}
-\newcommand\section{\@startsection
- {section}{1}{0pt}{-3.5ex plus-1ex minus-.2ex}%
- {2.3ex plus.2ex}{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}}
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{small}
-The last argument specifies the style in which the section heading is
-to be typeset.
-
-The new feature added at this release is that at the \emph{end} of
-this argument you may specify a command that \emph{takes an argument}.
-This command will be applied to the section number and heading.
-For example, one could use the \verb|\MakeUppercase| command to
-produce uppercase headings. A package or class file could contain:
-\begin{small}
-\begin{verbatim}
-\renewcommand\section{\@startsection
- {section}{1}{0pt}{-3.5ex plus-1ex minus-.2ex}%
- {2.3ex plus.2ex}{\normalfont\Large\MakeUppercase}}
-\end{verbatim}
-\end{small}
-to produce section headings using uppercase medium weight text, rather
-than the bold text used by \textsf{article}. Note that, like the font
-choice, the uppercasing applies only to the actual heading (including
-any automatically generated section number), not to the text as it may
-appear in the running head or table of contents.
-
-\section{The `openany' option in the `book' class}
-The \textsf{openany} option allows chapter and similar openings to
-occur on left hand pages. Previously this option only affected
-\verb|\chapter| and \verb|\backmatter|. It now also affects
-\verb|\part|, \verb|\frontmatter| and \verb|\mainmatter|.
-
-\section{More font (output) encodings}
-The font encoding name \texttt{T3} has been allocated to the encoding
-used in the new 256-character \textsc{IPA} fonts (for the phonetic
-alphabet) produced by Rei Fukui. His package, \textsf{tipa},
-gives access to these fonts and should soon be available. (The
-encoding named \texttt{OT3} is the 128-character encoding used in the
-\textsc{IPA} fonts produced by Washington State University.)
-
-
-
-\section{More input encodings supported}
-The \textsf{inputenc} package now supports the IBM codepage~852 used
-in Eastern Europe, with the option~\texttt{[cp852]} contributed by
-Petr~Sojka.
-
-Also, the \textsf{inputenc} package now activates most `control codes'
-with \textsc{ascii} values below 32.
-Currently none of the encodings in the standard distribution makes use
-of these positions.
-
-\section{Fixes and improvements}
-The \LaTeX\ kernel has only had minor changes, apart from
-\verb|\@startsection| mentioned above.
-However, some small fixes have been incorporated removing the
-following problems:
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
- In tabular and array, previous versions of \LaTeX\ `lost' the
- inter-column space from an `\texttt{l}'-column, when that column
- was completely empty.
-
-\item
- Previously, the use of the \verb|\nofiles| command could change
- the \emph{vertical spacing} in a document.\\ A side effect of fixing
- this is that when \verb|\nofiles| is used, \verb|\label| puts a
- blank line in the log file.
-
-\item
- \LaTeX~often loads fonts `on demand'. Previously, this could
- happen inside the argument of an accent command and this would
- cause the accent to appear in the wrong place.
-
-\end{itemize}
-
-\section{Changes to the `tools' packages}
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item
- The \textsf{longtable} package now uses a modified algorithm,
- contributed by David Kastrup, to align the `chunks' of a table.
- It is now unnecessary to edit the document to add
- \verb|\setlongtables| before the final run of \LaTeX.
- In certain cases of overlapping \verb|\multicolumn| entries, the new
- algorithm will produce better column widths than the old (at the
- price of extra passes through \LaTeX).
-
-\item
- The \textsf{dcolumn} package now has the extra possibility of
- specifying the number of digits both \emph{before} and after the
- `decimal point'. This makes it easy to centre the column of numbers
- under a wide heading.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\section{New copy of the \LaTeX\ bug database}
-\verb|http://www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/latex/bugs.html| will soon have links
-to a copy of the searchable \LaTeX\ bugs database at Mainz (Germany)
-as well as the original copy at Sussex (England).
