-\section{Updates to the FAQ}
-
-The list of frequently-asked questions that was published as
-Baskerville volume~4, number~6, should be maintained if it's to retain
-its usefulness.
-
-While I can do at least some of this for myself, I would welcome
-comments on:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item Questions that weren't ansswered in the original, but should
- have been, and
-\item Errors in the original.
-\end{itemize}
-
-To kick the ball off, here's one of each type.
-
-New question: Typesetting a degree sign in \LaTeXe{}.
-
-Answer: The following macro will do the job
-
-| \newcommand{\degree}[1][]{\ensuremath{{#1}^\circ}}|
-
-Errata in the original:
-
-The question on ``getting \MF{} to do what you want'' refers you to the
-CTAN file~|documentation/metafont_for_beginners.tex|; the file is in
-fact~|info/metafont-for-beginners.tex|
-
-The question on ``Mailing lists about \TeX{} and its friends'' has two
-errors in it.
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item The UK\TeX{} list has now ceased publication, and its content
- has now been taken over by the \TeX{}hax list.
-\item The description of the |ctt-digest| and |info-tex| lists, and
- their relation to the newsgroup |comp.text.tex| is confusing.
- |info-tex| does \emph{not} receive postings to |comp.text.tex|,
- and therefore the content of |ctt-digest| will typically contain
- much material that isn't present in |info-tex|. However,
- messages mailed to |info-tex| appear in |comp.text.tex|, and
- therefore (ultimately) appear in |ctt-digest|.
-\end{itemize}
-
-Thanks to Allan Reese and Barbara Beeton for pointing me towards these
-problems.
