In this chapter I + will fill in the remaining structure you will need to know in order + to produce real world material. +\end{intro} + +\section{The Structure of Text and Language} +\secby{Hanspeter Schmid}{hanspi@schmid-werren.ch} +The main point of writing a text (some modern DAAC\footnote{Different + At All Cost, a translation of the Swiss German UVA (Um's Verrecken + Anders).} literature excluded), is to convey ideas, information, or +knowledge to the reader. The reader will understand the text better +if these ideas are well-structured, and will see and feel this +structure much better if the typographical form reflects the logical +and semantical structure of the content. + +\LaTeX{} is different from other typesetting systems in that you just +have to tell it the logical and semantical structure of a text. It +then derives the typographical form of the text according to the +``rules'' given in the document class file and in various style files. + +The most important text unit in \LaTeX{} (and in typography) is the +\wi{paragraph}. We call it ``text unit'' because a paragraph is the +typographical form that should reflect one coherent thought, or one +idea. You will learn in the following sections how you can force +line breaks with e.g.{} \texttt{\bs\bs}, and paragraph breaks with e.g.{} +leaving an empty line in the source code. Therefore, if a new thought +begins, a new paragraph should begin, and if not, only line breaks +should be used. If in doubt about paragraph breaks, think about your +text as a conveyor of ideas and thoughts. If you have a paragraph +break, but the old thought continues, it should be removed. If some +totally new line of thought occurs in the same paragraph, then it +should be broken. + +Most people completely underestimate the importance of well-placed +paragraph breaks. Many people do not even know what the meaning of +a paragraph break is, or, especially in \LaTeX, introduce paragraph +breaks without knowing it. The latter mistake is especially easy to +make if equations are used in the text. Look at the following +examples, and figure out why sometimes empty lines (paragraph breaks) +are used before and after the equation, and sometimes not. (If you +don't yet understand all commands well enough to understand these +examples, please read this and the following chapter, and then read +this section again.) + +\begin{code} +\begin{verbatim} +% Example 1 +\ldots when Einstein introduced his formula +\begin{equation} + e = m \cdot c^2 \; , +\end{equation} +which is at the same time the most widely known +and the least well understood physical formula. + + +% Example 2 +\ldots from which follows Kirchhoff's current law: +\begin{equation} + \sum_{k=1}^{n} I_k = 0 \; . +\end{equation} + +Kirchhoff's voltage law can be derived \ldots + + +% Example 3 +\ldots which has several advantages. + +\begin{equation} + I_D = I_F - I_R +\end{equation} +is the core of a very different transistor model. \ldots +\end{verbatim} +\end{code} + +The next smaller text unit is a sentence. In English texts, there is +a larger space after a period that ends a sentence than after one +that ends an abbreviation. \LaTeX{} tries to figure out which one +you wanted to have. If \LaTeX{} gets it wrong, you must tell it what +you want. This is explained later in this chapter. + +The structuring of text even extends to parts of sentences. Most +languages have very complicated punctuation rules, but in many +languages (including German and English), you will get almost every +comma right if you remember what it represents: a short stop in the +flow of language. If you are not sure about where to put a comma, +read the sentence aloud and take a short breath at every comma. If +this feels awkward at some place, delete that comma; if you feel the +urge to breathe (or make a short stop) at some other place, insert a +comma. + +Finally, the paragraphs of a text should also be structured logically +at a higher level, by putting them into chapters, sections, +subsections, and so on. However, the typographical effect of writing +e.g.{} \verb|\section{The| \texttt{Structure of Text and Language}\verb|}| is +so obvious that it is almost self-evident how these high-level +structures should be used. + +\section{Line Breaking and Page Breaking} + +\subsection{Justified Paragraphs} + +Books are often typeset with each line having the same length. +\LaTeX{} inserts the necessary \wi{line break}s and spaces between words +by optimizing the contents of a whole paragraph. If necessary, it +also hyphenates words that would not fit comfortably on a line. +How the paragraphs are typeset depends on the document class. +Normally the first line of a paragraph is indented, and there is no +additional space between two paragraphs. Refer to section~\ref{parsp} +for more information. + +In special cases it might be necessary to order \LaTeX{} to break a +line: +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{\bs} or \ci{newline} +\end{lscommand} +\noindent starts a new line without starting a new paragraph. + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{\bs*} +\end{lscommand} +\noindent additionally prohibits a page break after the forced +line break. + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{newpage} +\end{lscommand} +\noindent starts a new page. + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{linebreak}\verb|[|\emph{n}\verb|]|, +\ci{nolinebreak}\verb|[|\emph{n}\verb|]|, +\ci{pagebreak}\verb|[|\emph{n}\verb|]| and +\ci{nopagebreak}\verb|[|\emph{n}\verb|]| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent do what their names say. They enable the author to influence their +actions with the optional argument \emph{n}, which can be set to a number +between zero and four. By setting \emph{n} to a value below 4, you leave +\LaTeX{} the option of ignoring your command if the result would look very +bad. Do not confuse these ``break'' commands with the ``new'' commands. Even +when you give a ``break'' command, \LaTeX{} still tries to even out the +right border of the page and the total length of the page, as described in +the next section. If you really want to start a ``new line'', then use the +corresponding command. Guess its name! + +\LaTeX{} always tries to produce the best line breaks possible. If it +cannot find a way to break the lines in a manner that meets its high +standards, it lets one line stick out on the right of the paragraph. +\LaTeX{} then complains (``\wi{overfull hbox}'') while processing the +input file. This happens most often when \LaTeX{} cannot find a +suitable place to hyphenate a word.\footnote{Although \LaTeX{} gives + you a warning when that happens (Overfull hbox) and displays the + offending line, such lines are not always easy to find. If you use + the option \texttt{draft} in the \ci{documentclass} command, these + lines will be marked with a thick black line on the right margin.} +You can instruct \LaTeX{} to lower its standards a little by giving +the \ci{sloppy} command. It prevents such over-long lines by +increasing the inter-word spacing---even if the final output is not +optimal. In this case a warning (``\wi{underfull hbox}'') is given to +the user. In most such cases the result doesn't look very good. The +command \ci{fussy} brings \LaTeX{} back to its default behaviour. + +\subsection{Hyphenation} \label{hyph} + +\LaTeX{} hyphenates words whenever necessary. If the hyphenation +algorithm does not find the correct hyphenation points, you can +remedy the situation by using the following commands to tell \TeX{} +about the exception. + +The command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{hyphenation}\verb|{|\emph{word list}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent causes the words listed in the argument to be hyphenated only at +the points marked by ``\verb|-|''. The argument of the command should only +contain words built from normal letters, or rather signs that are considered +to be normal letters by \LaTeX{}. The hyphenation hints are +stored for the language that is active when the hyphenation command +occurs. This means that if you place a hyphenation command into the preamble +of your document it will influence the English language hyphenation. If you +place the command after the \verb|\begin{document}| and you are using some +package for national language support like \pai{babel}, then the hyphenation +hints will be active in the language activated through \pai{babel}. + +The example below will allow ``hyphenation'' to be hyphenated as well as +``Hyphenation'', and it prevents ``FORTRAN'', ``Fortran'' and ``fortran'' +from being hyphenated at all. No special characters or symbols are allowed +in the argument. + +Example: +\begin{code} +\verb|\hyphenation{FORTRAN Hy-phen-a-tion}| +\end{code} + +The command \ci{-} inserts a discretionary hyphen into a word. This +also becomes the only point hyphenation is allowed in this word. This +command is especially useful for words containing special characters +(e.g.{} accented characters), because \LaTeX{} does not automatically +hyphenate words containing special characters. +%\footnote{Unless you are using the new +%\wi{DC fonts}.}. + +\begin{example} +I think this is: su\-per\-cal\-% +i\-frag\-i\-lis\-tic\-ex\-pi\-% +al\-i\-do\-cious +\end{example} + +Several words can be kept together on one line with the command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{mbox}\verb|{|\emph{text}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent It causes its argument to be kept together under all circumstances. + +\begin{example} +My phone number will change soon. +It will be \mbox{0116 291 2319}. + +The parameter +\mbox{\emph{filename}} should +contain the name of the file. +\end{example} + +\ci{fbox} is similar to \ci{mbox}, but in addition there will +be a visible box drawn around the content. + + +\section{Ready-Made Strings} + +In some of the examples on the previous pages, you have seen +some very simple \LaTeX{} commands for typesetting special +text strings: + +\vspace{2ex} + +\noindent +\begin{tabular}{@{}lll@{}} +Command&Example&Description\\ +\hline +\ci{today} & \today & Current date in the current language\\ +\ci{TeX} & \TeX & The name of your favorite typesetter\\ +\ci{LaTeX} & \LaTeX & The Name of the Game\\ +\ci{LaTeXe} & \LaTeXe & The current incarnation of \LaTeX\\ +\end{tabular} + +\section{Special Characters and Symbols} + +\subsection{Quotation Marks} + +You should \emph{not} use the \verb|"| for \wi{quotation marks} +\index{""@\texttt{""}} as you would on a typewriter. In publishing +there are special opening and closing quotation marks. In \LaTeX{}, +use two~\verb|`|s (grave accent) for opening quotation marks and +two~\verb|'|s (vertical quote) for closing quotation marks. For single +quotes you use just one of each. +\begin{example} +``Please press the `x' key.'' +\end{example} +Yes I know the rendering is not ideal, it's really a back-tick or grave accent for +opening quotes and vertical quote for closing, despite what the font chosen might suggest. + +\subsection{Dashes and Hyphens} + +\LaTeX{} knows four kinds of \wi{dash}es. You can access three of +them with different numbers of consecutive dashes. The fourth sign +is actually not a dash at all---it is the mathematical minus sign: \index{-} +\index{--} \index{---} \index{-@$-$} \index{mathematical!minus} + +\begin{example} +daughter-in-law, X-rated\\ +pages 13--67\\ +yes---or no? \\ +$0$, $1$ and $-1$ +\end{example} +The names for these dashes are: +`-' \wi{hyphen}, `--' \wi{en-dash}, `---' \wi{em-dash} and +`$-$' \wi{minus sign}. + +\subsection{Tilde ($\sim$)} +\index{www}\index{URL}\index{tilde} +A character often seen in web addresses is the tilde. To generate +this in \LaTeX{} you can use \verb|\~| but the result: \~{} is not really +what you want. Try this instead: + +\begin{example} +http://www.rich.edu/\~{}bush \\ +http://www.clever.edu/$\sim$demo +\end{example} + +\subsection{Degree Symbol \texorpdfstring{($\circ$)}{}} + +The following example shows how to print a \wi{degree symbol} in \LaTeX{}: + +\begin{example} +It's $-30\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$. +I will soon start to +super-conduct. +\end{example} + +The \pai{textcomp} package makes the degree symbol also available as \ci{textcelsius}. + +\subsection{The Euro Currency Symbol \texorpdfstring{(\euro{})}{}} + +When writing about money these days, you need the Euro symbol. Many current +fonts contain a Euro symbol. After loading the \pai{textcomp} package in the preamble of your document +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{usepackage}\verb|{textcomp}| +\end{lscommand} +you can use the command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{texteuro} +\end{lscommand} +to access it. + +If your font does not provide its own Euro symbol or if you do not like the +font's Euro symbol, you have two more choices: + +First the \pai{eurosym} package. It provides the official Euro symbol: +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{usepackage}\verb|[|\emph{official}\verb|]{eurosym}| +\end{lscommand} +If you prefer a Euro symbol that matches your font, use the option +\texttt{gen} in place of the \texttt{official} option. + +If the Adobe Eurofonts are installed on your system (they are available for +free from \url{ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all}) you can use +either the package \pai{europs} and the command \ci{EUR} (for a Euro symbol +that matches the current font) or the package +\pai{eurosans} and the command \ci{euro} (for the ``official Euro''). + +The \pai{marvosym} package also provides many different symbols, including a +Euro, under the name \ci{EUR}. Its disadvantage is that it does not provide +slanted and bold variants of the Euro symbol. + +\begin{table}[!htbp] +\caption{A bag full of Euro symbols} \label{eurosymb} +\begin{lined}{10cm} +\begin{tabular}{llccc} +package & command & roman & sans-serif & typewriter \\ +eurosym &\verb+\euro+ & \huge\officialeuro &\huge\sffamily\officialeuro + & \huge\ttfamily\officialeuro\\ +$[$gen$]$eurosym &\verb+\euro+ & \huge\geneuro &\huge\sffamily\geneuro + & \huge\ttfamily\geneuro \\ +% En fait on appelle eurofont pour des conflits de noms... +europs &\verb+\EUR + & \huge\EURtm &\huge\EURhv & \huge\EURcr \\ +eurosans &\verb+\euro+ & \huge\EUROSANS &\huge\sffamily\EUROSANS + & \huge\ttfamily\EUROSANS \\ +marvosym &\verb+\EUR+ & \huge\mvchr164 &\huge\mvchr164 & \huge\mvchr164 +\end{tabular} +\medskip +\end{lined} +\end{table} + +\subsection{Ellipsis (\texorpdfstring{\ldots}{...})} + +On a typewriter, a \wi{comma} or a \wi{period} takes the same amount of +space as any other letter. In book printing, these characters occupy +only a little space and are set very close to the preceding letter. +Therefore, you cannot enter `\wi{ellipsis}' by just typing three +dots, as the spacing would be wrong. Instead, there is a special +command for these dots. It is called + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{ldots} +\end{lscommand} +\index{...@\ldots} + + +\begin{example} +Not like this ... but like this:\\ +New York, Tokyo, Budapest, \ldots +\end{example} + +\subsection{Ligatures} + +Some letter combinations are typeset not just by setting the +different letters one after the other, but by actually using special +symbols. +\begin{code} +{\large ff fi fl ffi\ldots}\quad +instead of\quad {\large f{}f f{}i f{}l f{}f{}i \ldots} +\end{code} +These so-called \wi{ligature}s can be prohibited by inserting an \ci{mbox}\verb|{}| +between the two letters in question. This might be necessary with +words built from two words. + +\begin{example} +\Large Not shelfful\\ +but shelf\mbox{}ful +\end{example} + +\subsection{Accents and Special Characters} + +\LaTeX{} supports the use of \wi{accent}s and \wi{special character}s +from many languages. Table~\ref{accents} shows all sorts of accents +being applied to the letter o. Naturally other letters work too. + +To place an accent on top of an i or a j, its dots have to be +removed. This is accomplished by typing \verb|\i| and \verb|\j|. + +\begin{example} +H\^otel, na\"\i ve, \'el\`eve,\\ +sm\o rrebr\o d, !`Se\~norita!,\\ +Sch\"onbrunner Schlo\ss{} +Stra\ss e +\end{example} + +\begin{table}[!hbp] +\caption{Accents and Special Characters.} \label{accents} +\begin{lined}{10cm} +\begin{tabular}{*4{cl}} +\A{\`o} & \A{\'o} & \A{\^o} & \A{\~o} \\ +\A{\=o} & \A{\.o} & \A{\"o} & \B{\c}{c}\\[6pt] +\B{\u}{o} & \B{\v}{o} & \B{\H}{o} & \B{\c}{o} \\ +\B{\d}{o} & \B{\b}{o} & \B{\t}{oo} \\[6pt] +\A{\oe} & \A{\OE} & \A{\ae} & \A{\AE} \\ +\A{\aa} & \A{\AA} \\[6pt] +\A{\o} & \A{\O} & \A{\l} & \A{\L} \\ +\A{\i} & \A{\j} & !` & \verb|!`| & ?` & \verb|?`| +\end{tabular} +\index{dotless \i{} and \j}\index{Scandinavian letters} +\index{ae@\ae}\index{umlaut}\index{grave}\index{acute} +\index{oe@\oe}\index{aa@\aa} + +\bigskip +\end{lined} +\end{table} + +\section{International Language Support} +\index{international} When you write documents in \wi{language}s +other than English, there are three areas where \LaTeX{} has to be +configured appropriately: + +\begin{enumerate} +\item All automatically generated text strings\footnote{Table of + Contents, List of Figures, \ldots} have to be adapted to the new + language. For many languages, these changes can be accomplished by + using the \pai{babel} package by Johannes Braams. +\item \LaTeX{} needs to know the hyphenation rules for the new + language. Getting hyphenation rules into \LaTeX{} is a bit more + tricky. It means rebuilding the format file with different + hyphenation patterns enabled. Your \guide{} should give more + information on this. +\item Language specific typographic rules. In French for example, there is a + mandatory space before each colon character (:). +\end{enumerate} + +If your system is already configured appropriately, you can activate +the \pai{babel} package by adding the command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{usepackage}\verb|[|\emph{language}\verb|]{babel}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent after the \verb|\documentclass| command. A list of the +\emph{language}s built into your \LaTeX{} system will be displayed +every time the compiler is started. Babel will +automatically activate the appropriate hyphenation rules for the +language you choose. If your \LaTeX{} format does not support +hyphenation in the language of your choice, babel will still work but +will disable hyphenation, which has quite a negative effect on the +appearance of the typeset document. + +\textsf{Babel} also specifies new commands for some languages, which +simplify the input of special characters. The \wi{German} language, for +example, contains a lot of umlauts (\"a\"o\"u). With \textsf{babel}, +you can enter an \"o by typing \verb|"o| instead of~\verb|\"o|. + +If you call babel with multiple languages +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{usepackage}\verb|[|\emph{languageA}\verb|,|\emph{languageB}\verb|]{babel}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent you have to use the command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{selectlanguage}\verb|{|\emph{languageA}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent to set the current language. + +%Input Encoding +\newcommand{\ieih}[1]{% +\index{encodings!input!#1@\texttt{#1}}% +\index{input encodings!#1@\texttt{#1}}% +\index{#1@\texttt{#1}}} +\newcommand{\iei}[1]{% +\ieih{#1}\texttt{#1}} +%Font Encoding +\newcommand{\feih}[1]{% +\index{encodings!font!#1@\texttt{#1}}% +\index{font encodings!#1@\texttt{#1}}% +\index{#1@\texttt{#1}}} +\newcommand{\fei}[1]{% +\feih{#1}\texttt{#1}} + +Most of the modern computer systems allow you to input letter of +national alphabets directly from the keyboard. In order to +handle variety of input encoding used for different groups of +languages and/or on different computer platforms \LaTeX{} employs the +\pai{inputenc} package: +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{usepackage}\verb|[|\emph{encoding}\verb|]{inputenc}| +\end{lscommand} + +When using this package, you should consider that other people might not +be able to display your input files on their computer, because they use +a different encoding. For example, the German umlaut \"a on OS/2 is +encoded as 132, on Unix systems using ISO-LATIN~1 it is encoded as 228, +while in cyrillic encoding cp1251 for Windows this letter does not exist +at all; therefore you should use this feature with care. The following +encodings may come in handy, depending on the type of system you are +working on\footnote{To learn more about supported input +encodings for Latin-based and Cyrillic-based languages, read the +documentation for \texttt{inputenc.dtx} and \texttt{cyinpenc.dtx} +respectively. Section~\ref{sec:Packages} tells how to produce package +documentation.} + +\begin{center} +\begin{tabular}{l | r | r } +Operating & \multicolumn{2}{c}{encodings}\\ +system & western latin & cyrillic\\ +\hline +Mac & \iei{applemac} & \iei{macukr} \\ +Unix & \iei{latin1} & \iei{koi8-ru} \\ +Windows & \iei{ansinew} & \iei{cp1251} \\ +DOS, OS/2 & \iei{cp850} & \iei{cp866nav} +\end{tabular} +\end{center} + +If you have a multilingual document with conflicting input encodings, +you might want to switch to unicode, using the \pai{ucs} package. + + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{usepackage}\verb|{ucs}|\\ +\ci{usepackage}\verb|[|\iei{utf8}\verb|]{inputenc}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent will enable you to create \LaTeX{} input files in +\iei{utf8}, a multi-byte encoding in which each character can be encoded in +as little as one byte and as many as four bytes. + +Font encoding is a different matter. It defines at which position inside +a \TeX-font each letter is stored. Multiple input encodings could be mapped into +one font encoding, which reduces number of required font sets. +Font encodings are handled through +\pai{fontenc} package: \label{fontenc} +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{usepackage}\verb|[|\emph{encoding}\verb|]{fontenc}| \index{font encodings} +\end{lscommand} +\noindent where \emph{encoding} is font encoding. It is possible to load several +encodings simultaneously. + +The default \LaTeX{} font encoding is \label{OT1} \fei{OT1}, the encoding of the +original Computer Modern \TeX{} font. It containins only the 128 +characters of the 7-bit ASCII character set. When accented characters +are required, \TeX{} creates them by combining a normal character with +an accent. While the resulting output looks perfect, this approach stops +the automatic hyphenation from working inside words containing accented +characters. Besides, some of latin letters could not be created by +combining a normal character with an accent, to say nothing about letters of +non-latin alphabets, such as Greek or Cyrillic. + +To overcome these shortcomings, several 8-bit CM-like font sets were created. +\emph{Extended Cork} (EC) fonts in \fei{T1} encoding contains +letters and punctuation characters for most of the European +languages based on Latin script. The LH font set contains letters necessary +to typeset documents in languages using Cyrillic script. Because of the large +number of Cyrillic glyphs, they are arranged into four font +encodings---\fei{T2A}, \fei{T2B}, \fei{T2C}, +and~\fei{X2}.\footnote{The list of languages supported by each of these +encodings could be found in \cite{cyrguide}.} The CB bundle contains fonts +in \fei{LGR} encoding for the composition of Greek text. + +By using these fonts you can improve/enable hyphenation in non-English +documents. Another advantage of using new CM-like fonts is that they +provide fonts of CM families in all weights, shapes, and optically +scaled font sizes. + +\subsection{Support for Portuguese} + +\secby{Demerson Andre Polli}{polli@linux.ime.usp.br} +To enable hyphenation and change all automatic text to \wi{Portuguese}, +\index{Portugu\^es} use the command: +\begin{lscommand} +\verb|\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}| +\end{lscommand} +Or if you are in Brazil, substitute the language for \texttt{\wi{brazilian}}. + +As there are a lot of accents in Portuguese you might want to use +\begin{lscommand} +\verb|\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}| +\end{lscommand} +to be able to input them correctly as well as +\begin{lscommand} +\verb|\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}| +\end{lscommand} +to get the hyphenation right. + +See table~\ref{portuguese} for the preamble you need to write in the +Portuguese language.

So if you are using this type +of quote, make sure you use the T1 encoding. (\verb|\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}|) + +\subsection[Support for Korean]{Support for Korean\footnotemark}\label{support_korean}% +\footnotetext{% +Considering a number of issues Korean \LaTeX{} users +have to cope with. +This section was written by Karnes KIM on behalf of the +Korean lshort translation team. It was translated into English +by SHIN Jungshik and shortened by Tobi Oetiker.} + +To use \LaTeX{} for typesetting \wi{Korean}, +we need to solve three problems: + +\begin{enumerate} +\item +We must be able to +edit \wi{Korean input files}. +Korean input files must be in plain text format, but because Korean +uses its own character set outside the +repertoire of US-ASCII, they will look rather strange with a normal ASCII editor. The two most widely used encodings for +Korean text files are EUC-KR and its upward compatible +extension used in Korean MS-Windows, CP949/Windows-949/UHC. +In these encodings each US-ASCII character represents its normal ASCII +character similar to other ASCII compatible encodings such as +ISO-8859-\textit{x}, EUC-JP, Shift\_JIS, and Big5. On the other hand, Hangul +syllables, Hanjas (Chinese characters as used in Korea), Hangul Jamos, +Hirakanas, Katakanas, Greek and Cyrillic characters and other +symbols and letters drawn from KS~X~1001 are represented by two +consecutive octets. The first has its MSB set. +Until the mid-1990's, it took a considerable amount of time and effort to +set up a Korean-capable environment under a non-localized (non-Korean) +operating system. +You can skim through the now much-outdated \url{http://jshin.net/faq} to get +a glimpse of what it was like to use Korean under non-Korean OS in mid-1990's. +These days all three major operating systems (Mac OS, Unix, Windows) come equipped +with pretty decent multilingual support and internationalization features +so that editing Korean text file is not so much of a problem anymore, even +on non-Korean operating systems. + +\item \TeX{} and \LaTeX{} were originally written for +scripts with no more than 256 characters in their alphabet. +To make them work for languages with considerably +more characters such as +Korean%, + \footnote{Korean Hangul is an alphabetic script with 14 basic consonants + and 10 basic vowels (Jamos). Unlike Latin or Cyrillic scripts, the + individual characters have to be arranged in rectangular + clusters about the same size as Chinese characters. Each cluster + represents a syllable. An unlimited number of syllables can be + formed out of this finite set of vowels and consonants. Modern Korean + orthographic standards (both in South Korea and North Korea), however, + put some restriction on the formation of these clusters. + Therefore only a finite number of orthographically correct syllables exist. + The Korean Character encoding defines individual code points for each of these syllables (KS~X~1001:1998 and KS~X~1002:1992). So Hangul, albeit alphabetic, is + treated like the Chinese and Japanese writing systems with tens of thousands of + ideographic/logographic characters. ISO~10646/Unicode offers both ways of + representing Hangul used for \emph{modern} Korean by encoding Conjoining + Hangul Jamos (alphabets: \url{http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1100.pdf}) + in addition to encoding all the orthographically allowed Hangul syllables in + \emph{modern} Korean (\url{http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UAC00.pdf}). + One of the most daunting challenges in Korean typesetting with + \LaTeX{} and related typesetting system is supporting Middle Korean---and possibly future Korean---syllables that can be only represented + by conjoining Jamos in Unicode. It is hoped that future \TeX{} engines like $\Omega$ and + $\Lambda$ will eventually provide solutions to this + so that some Korean linguists and historians + will defect from MS Word that already has a pretty good support + for Middle Korean.} +or Chinese, a subfont mechanism was developed. +It divides a single CJK font with thousands or tens of thousands of +glyphs into a set of subfonts with 256 glyphs each. +For Korean, there are three widely used packages; \wi{H\LaTeX} +by UN~Koaunghi, \wi{h\LaTeX{}p} by CHA~Jaechoon and the \wi{CJK package} +by Werner~Lemberg.\footnote{% +They can be obtained at \CTANref|language/korean/HLaTeX/|\\ + \CTANref|language/korean/CJK/| and + \texttt{http://knot.kaist.ac.kr/htex/}} +H\LaTeX{} and h\LaTeX{}p are specific to Korean and provide +Korean localization on top of the font support. +They both can process Korean input text files encoded in EUC-KR. H\LaTeX{} can +even process input files encoded in CP949/Windows-949/UHC and UTF-8 +when used along with $\Lambda$, $\Omega$. + +The CJK package is not specific to Korean. It can +process input files in UTF-8 as well as in various CJK encodings +including EUC-KR and CP949/Windows-949/UHC, it can be used to typeset documents with +multilingual content (especially Chinese, Japanese and Korean). +The CJK package has no Korean localization such as the one offered by H\LaTeX{} and it +does not come with as many special Korean fonts as H\LaTeX. + +\item The ultimate purpose of using typesetting programs like \TeX{} +and \LaTeX{} is to get documents typeset in an `aesthetically' satisfying way. +Arguably the most important element in typesetting is a set of +well-designed fonts. The H\LaTeX{} distribution +includes \index{Korean font!UHC font}UHC \PSi{} fonts +of 10 +different families and +Munhwabu\footnote{Korean Ministry of Culture.} +fonts (TrueType) of 5 different families. +The CJK package works with a set of fonts used by earlier versions +of H\LaTeX{} and it can use Bitstream's cyberbit TrueType +font. +\end{enumerate} + +To use the H\LaTeX{} package for typesetting your Korean text, put the following +declaration into the preamble of your document: +\begin{lscommand} +\verb+\usepackage{hangul}+ +\end{lscommand} + +This command turns the Korean localization on. The headings +of chapters, sections, subsections, table of content and table of +figures are all translated into Korean and the formatting of the document +is changed to follow Korean conventions. +The package also provides automatic ``particle selection.'' +In Korean, there are pairs of post-fix particles +grammatically equivalent but different in form. Which +of any given pair is correct depends on +whether the preceding syllable ends with a vowel or a consonant. +(It is a bit more complex than this, but this should give you +a good picture.) +Native Korean speakers have no problem picking the right particle, but +it cannot be determined which particle to use for references and other automatic +text that will change while you edit the document. +It +takes a painstaking effort to place appropriate particles manually +every time you add/remove references or simply shuffle parts +of your document around. +H\LaTeX{} relieves its users from this boring and error-prone process. + +In case you don't need Korean localization features +but just want +to typeset Korean text, you can put the following line in the +preamble, instead. +\begin{lscommand} +\verb+\usepackage{hfont}+ +\end{lscommand} + +For more details on typesetting Korean with H\LaTeX{}, refer to +the \emph{H\LaTeX{} Guide}. Check out the web site of the Korean +\TeX{} User Group (KTUG) at \url{http://www.ktug.or.kr/}. +There is also a Korean translation +of this manual available. + + +\subsection{Support for Cyrillic} + +\secby{Maksym Polyakov}{polyama@myrealbox.com} +Version~3.7h of \pai{babel} includes support for the +\fei{T2*}~encodings and for typesetting Bulgarian, Russian and +Ukrainian texts using Cyrillic letters. + +Support for Cyrillic is based on standard \LaTeX{} mechanisms through +the \pai{fontenc} and \pai{inputenc} packages. But, if you are going to +use Cyrillics in math mode, you need to load \pai{mathtext} package +before \pai{fontenc}:\footnote{If you use \AmS-\LaTeX{} packages, +load them before \pai{fontenc} and \pai{babel} as well.} +\begin{lscommand} +\verb+\usepackage{mathtext}+\\ +\verb+\usepackage[+\fei{T1}\verb+,+\fei{T2A}\verb+]{fontenc}+\\ +\verb+\usepackage[+\iei{koi8-ru}\verb+]{inputenc}+\\ +\verb+\usepackage[english,bulgarian,russian,ukranian]{babel}+ +\end{lscommand} + +Generally, \pai{babel} will authomatically choose the default font encoding, +for the above three languages this is \fei{T2A}. However, documents are not +restricted to a single font encoding. For multi-lingual documents using +Cyrillic and Latin-based languages it makes sense to include latin font +encoding explicitly. \pai{babel} will take care of switching to the appropriate +font encoding when a different language is selected within the document. + +In addition to enabling hyphenations, translating automatically +generated text strings, and activating some language specific +typographic rules (like \ci{frenchspacing}), \pai{babel} provides some +commands allowing typesetting according to the standards of +Bulgarian, Russian, or Ukrainian languages. + + +For all three languages, language specific punctuation is provided: +The cyrillic dash for the text (it is little narrower than latin dash and +surrounded by tiny spaces), a dash for direct speech, quotes, and +commands to facilitate hyphenation, see Table~\ref{Cyrillic}. + +% Table borrowed from Ukrainian.dtx +\begin{table}[htb] + \begin{center} + \index{""-@\texttt{""}\texttt{-}} + \index{""---@\texttt{""}\texttt{-}\texttt{-}\texttt{-}} + \index{""=@\texttt{""}\texttt{=}} + \index{""`@\texttt{""}\texttt{`}} + \index{""'@\texttt{""}\texttt{'}} + \index{"">@\texttt{""}\texttt{>}} + \index{""<@\texttt{""}\texttt{<}} + \caption[Bulgarian, Russian, and Ukrainian]{The extra definitions made + by Bulgarian, Russian, and Ukrainian options of \pai{babel}}\label{Cyrillic} + \begin{tabular}{@{}p{.1\hsize}@{}p{.9\hsize}@{}} + \hline + \verb="|= & disable ligature at this position. \\ + \verb|"-| & an explicit hyphen sign, allowing hyphenation + in the rest of the word. \\ + \verb|"---| & Cyrillic emdash in plain text. \\ + \verb|"--~| & Cyrillic emdash in compound names (surnames). \\ + \verb|"--*| & Cyrillic emdash for denoting direct speech. \\ + \verb|""| & like \verb|"-|, but producing no hyphen sign + (for compound words with hyphen, e.g.\verb|x-""y| + or some other signs as ``disable/enable''). \\ + \verb|"~| & for a compound word mark without a breakpoint. \\ + \verb|"=| & for a compound word mark with a breakpoint, allowing + hyphenation in the composing words. \\ + \verb|",| & thinspace for initials with a breakpoint + in following surname. \\ + \verb|"`| & for German left double quotes + (looks like ,\kern-0.08em,). \\ + \verb|"'| & for German right double quotes (looks like ``). \\%'' + \verb|"<| & for French left double quotes (looks like $<\!\!<$). \\ + \verb|">| & for French right double quotes (looks like $>\!\!>$). \\ + \hline + \end{tabular} + \end{center} +\end{table} + + +The Russian and Ukrainian options of \pai{babel} define the commands \ci{Asbuk} +and \ci{asbuk}, which act like \ci{Alph} and \ci{alph}, but produce capital +and small letters of Russian or Ukrainian alphabets (whichever is the +active language of the document). The Bulgarian option of \pai{babel} +provides the commands \ci{enumBul} and \ci{enumLat} (\ci{enumEng}), which +make \ci{Alph} and \ci{alph} produce letters of either +Bulgarian or Latin (English) alphabets. The default behaviour of +\ci{Alph} and \ci{alph} for the Bulgarian language option is to +produce letters from the Bulgarian alphabet. + +%Finally, math alphabets are redefined and as well as the commands for math +%operators according to Cyrillic typesetting traditions. + +\section{The Space Between Words} + +To get a straight right margin in the output, \LaTeX{} inserts varying +amounts of space between the words. It inserts slightly more space at +the end of a sentence, as this makes the text more readable. \LaTeX{} +assumes that sentences end with periods, question marks or exclamation +marks. If a period follows an uppercase letter, this is not taken as a +sentence ending, since periods after uppercase letters normally occur in +abbreviations. + +Any exception from these assumptions has to be specified by the +author. A backslash in front of a space generates a space that will +not be enlarged. A tilde~`\verb|~|' character generates a space that cannot be +enlarged and additionally prohibits a line break. The command +\verb|\@| in front of a period specifies that this period terminates a +sentence even when it follows an uppercase letter. +\cih{"@} \index{~@ \verb.~.} \index{tilde@tilde ( \verb.~.)} +\index{., space after} + +\begin{example} +Mr.~Smith was happy to see her\\ +cf.~Fig.~5\\ +I like BASIC\@. What about you? +\end{example} + +The additional space after periods can be disabled with the command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{frenchspacing} +\end{lscommand} +\noindent which tells \LaTeX{} \emph{not} to insert more space after a +period than after ordinary character. This is very common in +non-English languages, except bibliographies. If you use +\ci{frenchspacing}, the command \verb|\@| is not necessary. + +\section{Titles, Chapters, and Sections} + +To help the reader find his or her way through your work, you should +divide it into chapters, sections, and subsections. \LaTeX{} supports +this with special commands that take the section title as their +argument. It is up to you to use them in the correct order. + +The following sectioning commands are available for the +\texttt{article} class: \nopagebreak + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{section}\verb|{...}|\\ +\ci{subsection}\verb|{...}|\\ +\ci{subsubsection}\verb|{...}|\\ +\ci{paragraph}\verb|{...}|\\ +\ci{subparagraph}\verb|{...}| +\end{lscommand} + +If you want to split your document in parts without influencing the +section or chapter numbering you can use +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{part}\verb|{...}| +\end{lscommand} + +When you work with the \texttt{report} or \texttt{book} class, +an additional top-level sectioning command becomes available +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{chapter}\verb|{...}| +\end{lscommand} + +As the \texttt{article} class does not know about chapters, it is quite easy +to add articles as chapters to a book. +The spacing between sections, the numbering and the font size of the +titles will be set automatically by \LaTeX. + +Two of the sectioning commands are a bit special: +\begin{itemize} +\item The \ci{part} command does + not influence the numbering sequence of chapters. +\item The \ci{appendix} command does not take an argument. It just + changes the chapter numbering to letters.\footnote{For the article + style it changes the section numbering.} +\end{itemize} + + + +\LaTeX{} creates a table of contents by taking the section headings +and page numbers from the last compile cycle of the document. The command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{tableofcontents} +\end{lscommand} +\noindent expands to a table of contents at the place it +is issued. A new +document has to be compiled (``\LaTeX ed'') twice to get a +correct \wi{table of contents}. Sometimes it might be +necessary to compile the document a third time. \LaTeX{} will tell you +when this is necessary. + +All sectioning commands listed above also exist as ``starred'' +versions. A ``starred'' version of a command is built by adding a +star \verb|*| after the command name. This generates section headings +that do not show up in the table of contents and are not +numbered. The command \verb|\section{Help}|, for example, would become +\verb|\section*{Help}|. + +Normally the section headings show up in the table of contents exactly +as they are entered in the text. Sometimes this is not possible, +because the heading is too long to fit into the table of contents. The +entry for the table of contents can then be specified as an +optional argument in front of the actual heading. + +\begin{code} +\verb|\chapter[Title for the table of contents]{A long|\\ +\verb| and especially boring title, shown in the text}| +\end{code} + +The \wi{title} of the whole document is generated by issuing a +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{maketitle} +\end{lscommand} +\noindent command. The contents of the title have to be defined by the commands +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{title}\verb|{...}|, \ci{author}\verb|{...}| +and optionally \ci{date}\verb|{...}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent before calling \verb|\maketitle|. In the argument to \ci{author}, you can +supply several names separated by \ci{and} commands. + +An example of some of the commands mentioned above can be found in +Figure~\ref{document} on page~\pageref{document}. + +Apart from the sectioning commands explained above, \LaTeXe{} +introduced three additional commands for use with the \verb|book| class. +They are useful for dividing your publication. The commands alter +chapter headings and page numbering to work as you would expect it in +a book: +\begin{description} +\item[\ci{frontmatter}] should be the very first command after + \verb|\begin{document}|. It will switch page numbering to Roman + numerals and sections be non-enumerated. As if you were using + the starred sectioning commands (eg \verb|\chapter*{Preface}|) + but the sections will still show up in the table of contents. +\item[\ci{mainmatter}] comes right before the first chapter of + the book. It turns on Arabic page numbering and restarts the page + counter. +\item[\ci{appendix}] marks the start of additional material in your + book. After this command chapters will be numbered with letters. +\item[\ci{backmatter}] should be inserted before the very last items + in your book, such as the bibliography and the index. In the standard + document classes, this has no visual effect. +\end{description} + + +\section{Cross References} + +In books, reports and articles, there are often +\wi{cross-references} to figures, tables and special segments of text. +\LaTeX{} provides the following commands for cross referencing +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{label}\verb|{|\emph{marker}\verb|}|, \ci{ref}\verb|{|\emph{marker}\verb|}| +and \ci{pageref}\verb|{|\emph{marker}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent where \emph{marker} is an identifier chosen by the user. \LaTeX{} +replaces \verb|\ref| by the number of the section, subsection, figure, +table, or theorem after which the corresponding \verb|\label| command +was issued. \verb|\pageref| prints the page number of the +page where the \verb|\label| command occurred.\footnote{Note that these commands + are not aware of what they refer to. \ci{label} just saves the last + automatically generated number.} As with the section titles, the +numbers from the previous run are used. + +\begin{example} +A reference to this subsection +\label{sec:this} looks like: +``see section~\ref{sec:this} on +page~\pageref{sec:this}.'' +\end{example} + +\section{Footnotes} +With the command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{footnote}\verb|{|\emph{footnote text}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent a footnote is printed at the foot of the current page. Footnotes +should always be put\footnote{``put'' is one of the most common + English words.} after the word or sentence they refer to. Footnotes +referring to a sentence or part of it should therefore be put after +the comma or period.\footnote{Note that footnotes + distract the reader from the main body of your document. After all, + everybody reads the footnotes---we are a curious species, so why not + just integrate everything you want to say into the body of the + document?\footnotemark} +\footnotetext{A guidepost doesn't necessarily go where it's pointing to :-).} + +\begin{example} +Footnotes\footnote{This is + a footnote.} are often used +by people using \LaTeX. +\end{example} + +\section{Emphasized Words} + +If a text is typed using a typewriter, \texttt{important words are + emphasized by \underline{underlining} them.} +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{underline}\verb|{|\emph{text}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +In printed books, +however, words are emphasized by typesetting them in an \emph{italic} +font. \LaTeX{} provides the command +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{emph}\verb|{|\emph{text}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent to emphasize text. What the command actually does with +its argument depends on the context: + +\begin{example} +\emph{If you use + emphasizing inside a piece + of emphasized text, then + \LaTeX{} uses the + \emph{normal} font for + emphasizing.} +\end{example} + +Please note the difference between telling \LaTeX{} to +\emph{emphasize} something and telling it to use a different +\emph{font}: + +\begin{example} +\textit{You can also + \emph{emphasize} text if + it is set in italics,} +\textsf{in a + \emph{sans-serif} font,} +\texttt{or in + \emph{typewriter} style.} +\end{example} + +\section{Environments} \label{env} + +% To typeset special purpose text, \LaTeX{} defines many different +% \wi{environment}s for all sorts of formatting: +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{begin}\verb|{|\emph{environment}\verb|}|\quad + \emph{text}\quad +\ci{end}\verb|{|\emph{environment}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent Where \emph{environment} is the name of the environment. Environments can be +nested within each other as long as the correct nesting order is +maintained. +\begin{code} +\verb|\begin{aaa}...\begin{bbb}...\end{bbb}...\end{aaa}| +\end{code} + +\noindent In the following sections all important environments are explained. + +\subsection{Itemize, Enumerate, and Description} + +The \ei{itemize} environment is suitable for simple lists, the +\ei{enumerate} environment for enumerated lists, and the +\ei{description} environment for descriptions. +\cih{item} + +\begin{example} +\flushleft +\begin{enumerate} +\item You can mix the list +environments to your taste: +\begin{itemize} +\item But it might start to +look silly. +\item[-] With a dash. +\end{itemize} +\item Therefore remember: +\begin{description} +\item[Stupid] things will not +become smart because they are +in a list. +\item[Smart] things, though, can be +presented beautifully in a list. +\end{description} +\end{enumerate} +\end{example} + +\subsection{Flushleft, Flushright, and Center} + +The environments \ei{flushleft} and \ei{flushright} generate +paragraphs that are either left- or \wi{right-aligned}. \index{left + aligned} The \ei{center} environment generates centred text. If you +do not issue \ci{\bs} to specify line breaks, \LaTeX{} will +automatically determine line breaks. + +\begin{example} +\begin{flushleft} +This text is\\ left-aligned. +\LaTeX{} is not trying to make +each line the same length. +\end{flushleft} +\end{example} + +\begin{example} +\begin{flushright} +This text is right-\\aligned. +\LaTeX{} is not trying to make +each line the same length. +\end{flushright} +\end{example} + +\begin{example} +\begin{center} +At the centre\\of the earth +\end{center} +\end{example} + +\subsection{Quote, Quotation, and Verse} + +The \ei{quote} environment is useful for quotes, important phrases and +examples. + +\begin{example} +A typographical rule of thumb +for the line length is: +\begin{quote} +On average, no line should +be longer than 66 characters. +\end{quote} +This is why \LaTeX{} pages have +such large borders by default and +also why multicolumn print is +used in newspapers. +\end{example} + +There are two similar environments: the \ei{quotation} and the +\ei{verse} environments. The \texttt{quotation} environment is useful +for longer quotes going over several paragraphs, because it indents the +first line of each paragraph. The \texttt{verse} environment is useful for poems +where the line breaks are important. The lines are separated by +issuing a \ci{\bs} at the end of a line and an empty line after each +verse. + + +\begin{example} +I know only one English poem by +heart. It is about Humpty Dumpty. +\begin{flushleft} +\begin{verse} +Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall:\\ +Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.\\ +All the King's horses and all +the King's men\\ +Couldn't put Humpty together +again. +\end{verse} +\end{flushleft} +\end{example} + +\subsection{Abstract} + +In scientific publications it is customary to start with an abstract which +gives the reader a quick overview of what to expect. \LaTeX{} provides the +\ei{abstract} environment for this purpose. Normally \ei{abstract} is used +in documents typeset with the article document class. + +\newenvironment{abstract}% + {\begin{center}\begin{small}\begin{minipage}{0.8\textwidth}}% + {\end{minipage}\end{small}\end{center}} +\begin{example} +\begin{abstract} +The abstract abstract. +\end{abstract} +\end{example} + +\subsection{Printing Verbatim} + +Text that is enclosed between \verb|\begin{|\ei{verbatim}\verb|}| and +\verb|\end{verbatim}| will be directly printed, as if typed on a +typewriter, with all line breaks and spaces, without any \LaTeX{} +command being executed. + +Within a paragraph, similar behavior can be accessed with +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{verb}\verb|+|\emph{text}\verb|+| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent The \verb|+| is just an example of a delimiter character. You can use any +character except letters, \verb|*| or space. Many \LaTeX{} examples in this +booklet are typeset with this command. + +\begin{example} +The \verb|\ldots| command \ldots + +\begin{verbatim} +10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD "; +20 GOTO 10 +\end{verbatim} +\end{example} + +\begin{example} +\begin{verbatim*} +the starred version of +the verbatim +environment emphasizes +the spaces in the text +\end{verbatim*} +\end{example} + +The \ci{verb} command can be used in a similar fashion with a star: + +\begin{example} +\verb*|like this :-) | +\end{example} + +The \texttt{verbatim} environment and the \verb|\verb| command may not be used +within parameters of other commands. + + +\subsection{Tabular} + +\newcommand{\mfr}[1]{\framebox{\rule{0pt}{0.7em}\texttt{#1}}} + +The \ei{tabular} environment can be used to typeset beautiful +\wi{table}s with optional horizontal and vertical lines. \LaTeX{} +determines the width of the columns automatically. + +The \emph{table spec} argument of the +\begin{lscommand} +\verb|\begin{tabular}[|\emph{pos}\verb|]{|\emph{table spec}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent command defines the format of the table. Use an \mfr{l} for a column of +left-aligned text, \mfr{r} for right-aligned text, and \mfr{c} for +centred text; \mfr{p\{\emph{width}\}} for a column containing justified +text with line breaks, and \mfr{|} for a vertical line. + +If the text in a column is too wide for the page, \LaTeX{} won't +automatically wrap it. Using \mfr{p\{\emph{width}\}} you can define +a special type of column which will wrap-around the text as in a normal paragraph. + +The \emph{pos} argument specifies the vertical position of the table +relative to the baseline of the surrounding text. Use either of the +letters \mfr{t}, \mfr{b} and \mfr{c} to specify table +alignment at the top, bottom or center. + +Within a \texttt{tabular} environment, \texttt{\&} jumps to the next +column, \ci{\bs} starts a new line and \ci{hline} inserts a horizontal +line. You can add partial lines by using the \ci{cline}\texttt{\{}\emph{j}\texttt{-}\emph{i}\texttt{\}}, +where j and i are the column numbers the line should extend over. + +\index{"|@ \verb."|.} + +\begin{example} +\begin{tabular}{|r|l|} +\hline +7C0 & hexadecimal \\ +3700 & octal \\ \cline{2-2} +11111000000 & binary \\ +\hline \hline +1984 & decimal \\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +\end{example} + +\begin{example} +\begin{tabular}{|p{4.7cm}|} +\hline +Welcome to Boxy's paragraph. +We sincerely hope you'll +all enjoy the show.\\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +\end{example} + +The column separator can be specified with the \mfr{@\{...\}} +construct. This command kills the inter-column space and replaces it +with whatever is between the curly braces. One common use for +this command is explained below in the decimal alignment problem. +Another possible application is to suppress leading space in a table with +\mfr{@\{\}}. + +\begin{example} +\begin{tabular}{@{} l @{}} +\hline +no leading space\\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +\end{example} + +\begin{example} +\begin{tabular}{l} +\hline +leading space left and right\\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +\end{example} + +% +% This part by Mike Ressler +% + +\index{decimal alignment} Since there is no built-in way to align +numeric columns to a decimal point,\footnote{If the `tools' bundle is + installed on your system, have a look at the \pai{dcolumn} package.} +we can ``cheat'' and do it by using two columns: a right-aligned +integer and a left-aligned fraction. The \verb|@{.}| command in the +\verb|\begin{tabular}| line replaces the normal inter-column spacing with +just a ``.'', giving the appearance of a single, +decimal-point-justified column. Don't forget to replace the decimal +point in your numbers with a column separator (\verb|&|)! A column label +can be placed above our numeric ``column'' by using the +\ci{multicolumn} command. + +\begin{example} +\begin{tabular}{c r @{.} l} +Pi expression & +\multicolumn{2}{c}{Value} \\ +\hline +$\pi$ & 3&1416 \\ +$\pi^{\pi}$ & 36&46 \\ +$(\pi^{\pi})^{\pi}$ & 80662&7 \\ +\end{tabular} +\end{example} + +\begin{example} +\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} +\hline +\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Ene} \\ +\hline +Mene & Muh! \\ +\hline +\end{tabular} +\end{example} + +Material typeset with the tabular environment always stays together on one +page. If you want to typeset long tables, you might want to use the +\pai{longtable} environments. + +\section{Floating Bodies} +Today most publications contain a lot of figures and tables. These +elements need special treatment, because they cannot be broken across +pages. One method would be to start a new page every time a figure or +a table is too large to fit on the present page. This approach would +leave pages partially empty, which looks very bad. + +The solution to this problem is to `float' any figure or table that +does not fit on the current page to a later page, while filling the +current page with body text. \LaTeX{} offers two environments for +\wi{floating bodies}; one for tables and one for figures. To +take full advantage of these two environments it is important to +understand approximately how \LaTeX{} handles floats internally. +Otherwise floats may become a major source of frustration, because +\LaTeX{} never puts them where you want them to be. + +\bigskip +Let's first have a look at the commands \LaTeX{} supplies +for floats: + +Any material enclosed in a \ei{figure} or \ei{table} environment will +be treated as floating matter. Both float environments support an optional +parameter +\begin{lscommand} +\verb|\begin{figure}[|\emph{placement specifier}\verb|]| or +\verb|\begin{table}[|\emph{placement specifier}\verb|]| +\end{lscommand} +\noindent called the \emph{placement specifier}. This parameter +is used to tell \LaTeX{} about the locations to which the float +is allowed to be moved. A \emph{placement specifier} is constructed by building a string +of \emph{float-placing permissions}. See Table~\ref{tab:permiss}. + +\begin{table}[!bp] +\caption{Float Placing Permissions.}\label{tab:permiss} +\noindent \begin{minipage}{\textwidth} +\medskip +\begin{center} +\begin{tabular}{@{}cp{10cm}@{}} +Spec&Permission to place the float \ldots\\ +\hline +\rule{0pt}{1.05em}\texttt{h} & \emph{here} at the very place in the text + where it occurred. This is useful mainly for small floats.\\[0.3ex] +\texttt{t} & at the \emph{top} of a page\\[0.3ex] +\texttt{b} & at the \emph{bottom} of a page\\[0.3ex] +\texttt{p} & on a special \emph{page} containing only floats.\\[0.3ex] +\texttt{!} & without considering most of the internal parameters\footnote{Such as the + maximum number of floats allowed on one page.}, which could stop this + float from being placed. +\end{tabular} +\end{center} +Note that \texttt{pt} and \texttt{em} are \TeX{} units. Read more +on this in table \ref{units} on page \pageref{units}. +\end{minipage} +\end{table} + +A table could be started with the following line e.g.{} +\begin{code} +\verb|\begin{table}[!hbp]| +\end{code} +\noindent The \wi{placement specifier} \verb|[!hbp]| allows \LaTeX{} to +place the table right here (\texttt{h}) or at the bottom (\texttt{b}) +of some page +or on a special floats page (\texttt{p}), and all this even if it does not +look that good (\texttt{!}). If no placement specifier is given, the standard +classes assume \verb|[tbp]|. + +\LaTeX{} will place every float it encounters according to the +placement specifier supplied by the author. If a float cannot be +placed on the current page it is deferred either to the +\emph{figures} or the \emph{tables} queue.\footnote{These are FIFO---`first in first out'---queues!} When a new page is started, +\LaTeX{} first checks if it is possible to fill a special `float' +page with floats from the queues. If this is not possible, the first +float on each queue is treated as if it had just occurred in the +text: \LaTeX{} tries again to place it according to its +respective placement specifiers (except `h,' which is no longer +possible). Any new floats occurring in the text get placed into the +appropriate queues. \LaTeX{} strictly maintains the original order of +appearance for each type of float. That's why a figure that cannot +be placed pushes all further figures to the end of the document. +Therefore: + +\begin{quote} +If \LaTeX{} is not placing the floats as you expected, +it is often only one float jamming one of the two float queues. +\end{quote} + +While it is possible to give \LaTeX{} single-location placement +specifiers, this causes problems. If the float does not fit in the +location specified it becomes stuck, blocking subsequent floats. +In particular, you should never, ever use the [h] option---it is so bad +that in more recent versions of \LaTeX, it is automatically replaced by +[ht]. + +\bigskip +\noindent Having explained the difficult bit, there are some more things to +mention about the \ei{table} and \ei{figure} environments. +With the + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{caption}\verb|{|\emph{caption text}\verb|}| +\end{lscommand} + +\noindent command, you can define a caption for the float. A running number and +the string ``Figure'' or ``Table'' will be added by \LaTeX. + +The two commands + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{listoffigures} and \ci{listoftables} +\end{lscommand} + +\noindent operate analogously to the \verb|\tableofcontents| command, +printing a list of figures or tables, respectively. These lists will +display the whole caption, so if you tend to use long captions +you must have a shorter version of the caption for the lists. +This is accomplished by entering the short version in brackets after +the \verb|\caption| command. +\begin{code} +\verb|\caption[Short]{LLLLLoooooonnnnnggggg}| +\end{code} + +With \verb|\label| and \verb|\ref|, you can create a reference to a float +within your text. + +The following example draws a square and inserts it into the +document. You could use this if you wanted to reserve space for images +you are going to paste into the finished document. + +\begin{code} +\begin{verbatim} +Figure~\ref{white} is an example of Pop-Art. +\begin{figure}[!hbp] +\makebox[\textwidth]{\framebox[5cm]{\rule{0pt}{5cm}}} +\caption{Five by Five in Centimetres.\label{white}} +\end{figure} +\end{verbatim} +\end{code} + +\noindent In the example above, +\LaTeX{} will try \emph{really hard}~(\texttt{!})\ to place the figure +right \emph{here}~(\texttt{h}).\footnote{assuming the figure queue is + empty.} If this is not possible, it tries to place the figure at the +\emph{bottom}~(\texttt{b}) of the page. Failing to place the figure +on the current page, it determines whether it is possible to create a float +page containing this figure and maybe some tables from the tables +queue. If there is not enough material for a special float page, +\LaTeX{} starts a new page, and once more treats the figure as if it +had just occurred in the text. + +Under certain circumstances it might be necessary to use the + +\begin{lscommand} +\ci{clearpage} or even the \ci{cleardoublepage} +\end{lscommand} + +\noindent command. It orders \LaTeX{} to immediately place all +floats remaining in the queues and then start a new +page. \ci{cleardoublepage} even goes to a new right-hand page. + +You will learn how to include \PSi{} +drawings into your \LaTeXe{} documents later in this introduction. + +\section{Protecting Fragile Commands} + +Text given as arguments of commands like \ci{caption} or \ci{section} may +show up more than once in the document (e.g. in the table of contents as +well as in the body of the document). Some commands will break when used in +the argument of \ci{section}-like commands. Compilation of your document +will fail. These commands are called \wi{fragile commands}---for example, +\ci{footnote} or \ci{phantom}. These fragile commands need protection (don't +we all?). You can protect them by putting the \ci{protect} command in front +of them. + +\ci{protect} only refers to the command that follows right behind, not even +to its arguments. In most cases a superfluous \ci{protect} won't hurt. + +\begin{code} +\verb|\section{I am considerate|\\ +\verb| \protect\footnote{and protect my footnotes}}| +\end{code} + +% Local Variables: +% TeX-master: "lshort2e" +% mode: latex +% mode: flyspell +% End: |
