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). - -\end{document} |
