By contrast, the GNU General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by +the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to +your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License +along with the Program. + +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third + parties under the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. + +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or +collective works based on the Program. + +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under +the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium + customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a +special exception, the source code distributed need not include +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component +itself accompanies the executable. + +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not +compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such +parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying +the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to +this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other +circumstances. + +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot +impose that choice. + +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to +be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates +the limitation as if written in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to +address new problems or concerns. + +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, +REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR +REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING +OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED +TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY +YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER +PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + + Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs + + If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest +possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it +free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. + + To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest +to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively +convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least +the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. + + <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> + Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> + + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify + it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by + the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or + (at your option) any later version. + + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the + GNU General Public License for more details. + + You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License + along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software + Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. + +Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. + +If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this +when it starts in an interactive mode: + + Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author + Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. + This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it + under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. + +The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate +parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may +be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be +mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. + +You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your +school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if +necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: + + Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program + `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. + + <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 + Ty Coon, President of Vice + +This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into +proprietary programs.

I'm not actually sure how good a thing +the GNU GPL actually is, so I'm sort of testing the water. The idea that +this is how all software should be distributed still fills me with a certain +amount of trepidation. + + +--- What's in the box --- + +You should have received the following files in whatever sort of archive +thing this suite came in: + + README -- You've got this file for sure, because it's this one + COPYING -- A textual version of the GNU General Public Licence + at.dtx -- Documentation and code for `at.sty' package + cmtt.dtx -- Documentation and code for `cmtt.sty'package and + associated files + doafter.dtx -- Documentation and code for `doafter.sty' package; the + code is also used in `syntax.sty' and `mdwtab.sty' + mdwlist.dtx -- Documentation and code for `mdwlist.sty' package + mdwmath.dtx -- Documentation and code for `mdwmath.sty' package + mdwtab.dtx -- Documentation and code for `mdwtab.sty' and `mathenv.sty' + packages + footnote.dtx -- Documentation and code for `footnote.sty' package; the + code is used in `mdwtab.sty' + sverb.dtx -- Documentation and code for `sverb.stx' package + syntax.dtx -- Documentation and code for `syntax.dtx' package + mdwtools.ins -- Installation script for all the packages + gpl.tex -- LaTeX version of the GNU General Public Licence + mdwtools.tex -- Definitions for typesetting the documentation + +If you're missing any of these files, complain at whoever gave the rest of +them to you, and get them quickly.

If you haven't, it's not a big deal. You might also have a bunch of +files with extensions like `.log', `.aux', `.tmp', `.ilg' and so on. These +files are really not at all interesting, and you might as well get rid of +them now. + + +--- What the packages do --- + +Before we can get anywhere, you need to know what the packages do, roughly +speaking. Here's a quick rundown: + +at.sty -- Allows you to use `@' as a sort of `command-introducing' + character, a bit like `\' is already. This gives you + a lot more short command names which you can assign to + common constructions. For example, you can set up + @/<text>/ as a command to put <text> in italics. + +cmtt.sty -- Provides an `mTT' encoding for the Computer Modern + Typewriter font, which solves lots of messy problems. + +doafter.sty -- Provides a TeX programmer's utility + \doafter <token> <group> + which does the <token> after the group is complete, + including any \aftergroup things. The code was originally + written by Peter Schmitt in answer to a `challenge' I made + on comp.text.tex;I tweaked it a bit to make it work + slightly better. doafter.tex is a plain TeX version of + the same macro. + +mathenv.sty -- Contains a collection of mathematical environments with + a theme of aligning things in columns. There's a + rewritten version of `eqnarray' which is much more + powerful than the old one, and it gets the spacing right. + This package requires `mdwtab.sty' in order to work. It + is extracted from `mdwtab.dtx'. In general, the AmS + things to a better job, although it seems that the mathenv + matrix and script handling environments give prettier + results than the AmS equivalents (at least to my eyes). + +mdwlist.sty -- Various list related environments. There's a more + versatile `description' environment, and some stuff for + making `compacted' lists (with no extra space between + items). + +mdwmath.sty -- Contains a few trivial definitions for mathematical + things. The main thing is that the \sqrt command for + doing square roots has been improved -- there's a \sqrt* + command which stops the line being drawn over the formula + being square-rooted, and the positioning of the root + index (the optional argument) has been improved. + +mdwtab.sty -- A complete ground-up rewrite of LaTeX's `tabular' and + `array' environments. Has lots of advantages over + the standard version, and over the version in `array.sty'. + It works correctly with all the table-related packages in + the Tools bundle (longtable, delarray, hhline, tabularx + and dcolumn). This package includes most of the code + from `doafter.sty' and `footnote.sty' (it doesn't load + the packages -- it has its own copies built-in, although + you won't waste memory if you do load these packages). + To generate `mdwtab.sty', you require `mdwtab.dtx', + `doafter.dtx' and `footnote.dtx'; the last two provide + the shared code. + +footnote.sty -- Provides commands for saving executing footnotes; the + author has noticed several packages which attempt to + enable footnotes in tables, all of which eat an extra + token list register. This is an attempt to offer shared + code to do the job, saving space and effort. It also + provides a `footnote' environment which allows verbatim + text. + +sverb.sty -- A bunch of macros for doing verbatim things. Required + for typesetting all the documentation for the other + packages. + +syntax.sty -- A load of commands for describing syntax. There's an + environment for typesetting BNF grammars. But best of + all, there's a load of commands and environments for + drawing syntax diagrams. Required for typesetting all + the documentation for the other packages. If you're + extracting syntax.sty from syntax.dtx, you also need + doafter.dtx. + +With the exception of the dependencies listed above, the packages will all +work independently of each other. If you want to typeset the documentation, +you'll need `sverb.sty' and `syntax.sty'. Typesetting the documentation +isn't essential, although it will probably help if you can see what the +various commands actually do. + + +--- Extracting the packages --- + +If you don't have the various .sty files already, you'll need to extract them +from the .dtx files. This requires docstrip.tex, which should be part of +your base LaTeX 2e distribution. If you have docstrip vsersion 2.3d, which +is available with the December 1995 release of LaTeX, things will go rather +faster. If your LaTeX release is much older than this, you should upgrade, +because the packages need a fairly new LaTeX anyway. (I could do something +about this, but I won't, because I want to encourage everyone to upgrade.) + +If everything's set up correctly, all you should need to do is say + + tex mdwtools.ins + +or + + latex mdwtools.ins + +or whatever incantation is necessary to run TeX or LaTeX on the supplied +`mdwtools.ins' file on your system. + +TeX will grind away at the files for a bit, and then say `Done' at you. (This +could take a while, so be patient.) You will then have a mdwtools.log file, +which you can throw away, and a collection of sparkly new .sty files, which +you should put somewhere where TeX can find them easily. + + +--- Typesetting the documentation --- + +If you want to typeset the documentation for a package, you'll need the +`mdwtools.tex' file provided, and the `syntax.sty' and `sverb.sty' packages. +You'll also need the `.dtx' file for the package you want documentation on, +and any packages it generated. + +For example, if you want documentation on `mathenv.sty', you need: + + mdwtools.tex -- Shared defintions for all the documentation files + syntax.sty -- Syntax typesetting commands + sverb.sty -- Verbatim text handling commands + mathenv.sty -- So the documentation can use it to demonstrate its + features + mdwtab.sty -- Required by `mathenv.sty' + mdwtab.dtx -- The documentation file from which `mathenv.sty' was + extracted, and therefore the file which contains the + documentation you want to read + +Make sure you've got all the files, and then run LaTeX on the .dtx file you +want to read. + +TeX will start hammering away for a very short while, and then stop and ask +you whether you want to build the indexing files. Generating index files +takes a lot longer (I'd guess that it doubled the amount of time taken to +typeset the `.dtx' file) so I don't recommend it unless: + + * you've got a very fast processor, or + * you're very interested in how the package works internally, or + * you just like everything to be complete, or + * you're a masochist. + +Even so, there's no point writing indexing information the first time you +run LaTeX on a file, because the table of contents hasn't been created yet, +and when you LaTeX the file the second time, all the references will change. + +If you want the index files anyway, type `y' when you're asked. Otherwise, +type 'n'. You know you want to type `n' really... + +If you want to do the job properly, you need to run LaTeX a second time +to read in the contents table. /This/ is the correct time to turn on +indexing, if you really want it. + +If you did build the index files, you should now sort the index by saying + + makeindex -s gind.ist <name>.idx + +where <name> is the same as the name of the `.dtx' file. The `gind.ist' file +should have come with LaTeX. Having done this, you should run the `.dtx' +file though LaTeX one final time, to insert the formatted index. + +You can now print or preview the generated `.dvi' file using whatever tools +you usually use for such things. + + +--- What changed? --- + +Here's a list of what changed in the various releases. + +Version Changes + +1.00 * First general releases of everything. + + +1.01 * Fixed typos in various bits of documentation. + + * (mdwtab.sty) Added enhanced \cline command. Added + hhline.sty to list of supported table-related packages. + (I guess it always worked -- I just forgot about it.) + Made some of the section titles a little sillier ;-) + + * (mathenv.sty) Added some new random environments, mainly + because I saw some more interesting examples in /The/ + /TeXbook/ and had an idea... Now support nesting of + various environments, albeit rather imperfectly. + + * (at.sty) Made @-commands really properly robust. Fixed + some lies in the documentation. Removed some truly insane + bits of old code here too. Made package sort of + cooperate with amsmath's use of @-commands -- suggestions + for improvement welcomed. + + * (mdwtools.tex) Fixed /really/ stupid mistake in which made + typesetting the documentation about fifty times slower + than it should have been (bashes self on head several + times). Changed the structure here a bit too, to handle + document classes as well as packages. Made TeX much + quieter while it's typesetting the documentation. + + * (sverb.sty) Fixed duff paragraph formatting in listing + environment and \verbinput command (due to the `wrong + sort' of grouping). (My excuse for missing this one is + that my standard document class sets \parskip=0pt.) + + * (mdwtools.ins) Fixed this in line with the documentation + which hints that it should work with older docstrips. + It's a bit hacky but it works. + + +1.02 * (gpl.tex) Fixed some bugs which made typesetting go wrong + in larger documents. Restructured preamble so that it + can be typeset on its own. Put in eplicit item numbers + in the enumerate environments, for more obvious conformance + to the original. + + * (mdwtab.sty) Lots of changes here, many suggested by + David Carlisle (so oodles of thanks to him for taking + an interest in my humble hackings). Fixed bugs, including + one which put entirely incorrect interline spacing in + `p' type columns. Redone the handling of [t] and [b] + tables with top and bottom rules, and removed the + `\rulefudge' parameter which is no longer necessary. + Miscellaneous other changes. + + * (mdwtab.dtx) Tidied up some nastinesses in the + documentation, and removed the `\over' commands from the + maths demos, to keep certain people happy. Floated a few + more of the demonstrations to make page breaking better. + There's a danger that some of the demos are drifting too + far away from their text, but it's not too bad yet. + + * (syntax.sty) Used \doafter here to fix some colour handling + problems. + + * (syntax.sty) Tidied up the `grammar' environment quite a + bit (it now uses `\item', rather than trying to emulate it + internally), and fixed some vicious bugs in it and some + other code. + + * (doafter.sty etc.) A new addition, to make the various + packages handle colour properly. Mainly written by + Peter Scmitt, actually, I just fiddled with it a little. + Then Peter gave me a better version, and I've tried to + upgrade this one. + + * (footnote.sty) A new addition, to offer some shared things + for handling footnotes. It also enables footnotes in + parboxes, which used to be difficult, and provides a + `footnote' environment which allows verbatim text. + + * (mdwlist.sty} A new addition, providing miscellanous + list-related macros. It's a sort of mixed bag of things + I've had lying around various document preambles, combined + with some ideas from the Companion. + + * (at.sty) Rewritten command name parser to be much nicer. + Added support for digits within @-command names (subject + to being enabled by an option). This is in response to + requests in comp.text.tex for digits in command names. + + * (mathenv.sty) Totally overhauled the matrix spacing rules. + Added `script' environment. Improved numbering things, + with `\eqnumber'. + + * (mdwtools.tex) Some minor changes here to fix some buglets. + Played with some more float parameters, to discourage + float pages a bit more. Then revamped completely, turned + into a docced program (although it isn't docstripped), + rewritten title generation, and made much more + customisable. + + +1.02a * (mdwtab.sty) Added support for table beautification in + longtable. Documented how to do this. + + +1.03 * (mdwtab.sty) Completely redone the paragraph-cell handling: + list environments now work properly inside tables (without + funny extra space appearing at the top and bottom). Also + fixed a bug in the newline handling, which ignored negative + interrow space in the \\ command. + + * (syntax.sty) Changed the underscore handling, and some + other bits, to fit in rather better with LaTeX's output + encoding system. It's nastier and hackier inside, but it + works better with things like the DC fonts. Also stopped + re-lowercasing of `~' from escaping and messing everything + up for everyone. Improved underscore appearance by + lowering it some more. + + * (syntax.sty) Replaced some `2's with `\tw@'s. Added a + comment about dvips's inaccurate positioning of rules. + + * (sverb.sty) Made non-* environments build end text from + the name of the current environment, rather than having it + hardcoded. Also stopped `unignore' environments being + a group. + + * (sverb.dtx) Removed some porkies from the documentation. + + * (mdwtab.sty) Fixed some miscellaneous typos. Removed + `\rulefudge' from the table of tweakables, because it + was withdrawn in release 1.02. + + * (cmtt.dtx) New package, for handling the `cmtt' font + better. It introduces a special encoding for the font, + and provides a command which allows you to use all the + characters without the disadvantages of verbatim text. + + * (other changes) Improved distribution building and + testing stuff which you can't see because I'm not + releasing it. + + +1.04 * (syntax.sty) Provided some new commands for playing with + interword spacing in `tt' fonts. + + * (doafter.dtx and footnote.dtx) Added some docstrip guards + around the meta-comments, so that the charactertable and + the GPL header aren't put into other packages. + Unfortunately the version of docstrip which understands + this hasn't been released yet... + + * RCSified everything, so I can find old revisions, and I'm + less likely to destroy everything. + + * (footnote.dtx) Added a check for AMS environments doing + measuring passes, to avoid duplicated footnotes. (Spotted + by Roberto Bagnara.) + + +1.05 * (mdwtab.dtx) Fixed stupid bug in paragraph cells which + left 1000pt high table rows. (Spotted by Rowland.) + + * (mdwtab.dtx) Fixed horizontal spacing problems with + empty paragraph cells. + + * (mdwlist.dtx) Allowed compact lists and resumed lists + to pass arguments on to the underlying environments. + + * (syntax.dtx) Fix bug affecting underscore handling in + syntax abbreviations. + +--- Future plans --- + +doafter.sty Add Peter Schmitt's testing for implicit/explicit braces, + as a package or docstrip option. (This extra testing is + a significant chunk of code, and I don't think it's worth + burdening the standard version with it. Peter agrees with + me.) + +mathenv.sty Do postprocessing on display maths environments to position + the equations and equation numbers properly, so they don't + overlap (like the AMS environments do, although more + robustly). Once this is done, I think I'll have a reasonable + case for saying that this provides an alternative to the + AMS environments, although quite what the advantage is I + don't know: mdwtab.sty isn't exactly small. + + Work is currently `in progress' on this one. + +mdwtab.sty Consider doing postprocessing on tables (yuk) in a blkarray + sort of way. + +footnote.sty Merge with Robin Fairbairn's package of the same name. Allow + different rules for continued notes (suggested by Donald + Arseneau, after a news article by Jonathan Wand). + +New packages I'm currently working on a little something for typesetting + poetry properly (centring poems horizontally based on the + longest line, etc.), handling footnotes properly, doing + line numbering etc. If anyone has any wishes for this, + little things a tyro like me ought to know, or knows that + it's already done better than I could manage, then let me + know. + + +--- Contacting the author --- + +The author can be reached by email at mdw@excessus.demon.co.uk.
