- cwpuzzle.sty
- -
- a LaTeX package for typesetting crossword puzzles
-
- Gerd Neugebauer
-
-
-Since I know only of one additional package for this purpose on CTAN
--- named crosswrd.sty -- I will compare it against this package to
-show the advantages and disadvantages of both packages.
-
-I have developed cwpuzzle.sty because I needed to typeset a puzzle
-which required more features than those provided by crosswrd. The
-feature I was missing was the inclusion of rectangular regions in the
-puzzles containing ads or other texts not directly related to the
-characters to be filled in.
-
-I have generalized this requirement by allowing arbitrary rectangles
-to be left free. Thus it is possible to typeset puzzles which have no
-rectangular border (See the documentation for examples).
-
-Another idea was to have different types of puzzles generated from the
-same source:
-
-- The classical puzzle contains numbers for the words and clues for
- the words to be filled in.
-
-- The numbered puzzle contains numbers in each cell where identical
- numbers represent identical letters. The goal is to find out which
- number corresponds to which letter.
-
-- The fill-in type of puzzle consists of a grid and a list of words.
- The goal is to place all words in the grid.
-
-crosswrd supports the first type of puzzle only. cwpuzzle supports all
-of them.
-
-The input for both packages is completely different. crosswrd assumes
-that a user uses this package to develop a puzzle. Thus it is tailored
-towards a human user. It checks for consistency and requires
-non-redundant input. (As a unpleasant side effect fragile macros used
-in clues have to be protected)
-
-cwpuzzle needs some redundancy in the input for the sake of
-flexibility. But it seems quite natural to specify the frame of the
-puzzle and the clues separately. Especially for those types where no
-clues are needed at all.
-
-cwpuzzle currently assumes that words are terminated by a black block
-(or the border of the puzzle). crosswrd also supports also the variant
-where words are terminated by a thicker border. This might also be
-incorporated into a future release of cwpuzzle.
-
-In cwpuzzle it is also possible to specify whether the crossword
-puzzle or it's solution should be produced (from the same
-source). Thus it is possible to include the puzzle in one issue of a
-journal and the solution into another, or to typeset the solution
-several pages after the puzzle.
-
-cwpuzzle provides a larger number of options and hooks which can be
-used to customize the result. E.g it is possible to modify the size of
-the boxes or the fonts used as well as the appearance of graphical
-elements like the black blocks.
-
-
-cwpuzzle is located in the CTAN directory
-
- tex-archive/macros/latex/other/gene/crossword
-
-run tex on cwpuzzle.ins to produce the package and latex on
-cwpuzzle.dtx to get the documentation (or the Makefile to do both).
