This is the bigfoot bundle for critical edition typesetting and other
concerns, written by David Kastrup (mailto:dak@gnu.org). The complete
package in development can be accessed using the CVS instructions at
<URL:http://sarovar.org/projects/bigfoot>, and
CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/bigfoot should provide released versions
once they are fit for general consumption.
The whole bundle is released under the GPL version 2 (or later). Part
of the work has been sponsored or commissioned by various parties
(including TUG), but further functionality and development depends on
your support, financially or by participation. The author has a
Paypal account which you might consider contributing to.
All of the files (except perpage.sty, for historical reasons) need
eTeX 2 as the LaTeX engine. Newer distributions already are
eTeX-based; with older distributions you might need to use the
`elatex' command.
File descriptions for available files:
suffix.ins: This is a generated file and not in the CVS archive (but
on CTAN). If you need to generate it, you can do so by running
`tex docstrip' and answering the prompts
\infileext=dtx
\outfileext=ins
\Options=installer
\filelist=suffix
Running TeX on suffix.ins will generate further files from
`suffix.dtx'.
suffix.dtx: This is the doc source for `suffix.sty', a package that
makes it very easy to define command variants like \macro* or
\macro\!. It is included in the critical bundle since typical
document classes for real critical editions documents will tend to
want weird signs under handy abbreviations, like \< and \<<, or
\=>, or things like \footnote' macros, or \footnote<...\footnote>
with different formatting/numbering and so on.
perpage.sty: Work in progress, CVS only. Used for keeping counters
sorted in order of page appearance and making numbering per page
possible.
bigfoot.sty: Work in progress, CVS only. Used for solving every
problem around footnotes and then some. Deals with nested
footnotes in several apparatus, uses a backtracking algorithm for
finding the optimal break across several footnotes, automatically
breaks in-paragraph style footnotes across pages, uses fuzzy logic
for deciding about when to prefer in-paragraph layout to
one-footnote-per-paragraph layout on a per-note and per-block
basis, deals with colors in footnotes even when broken across
pages, adapts the document class's footnote style to in-paragraph
footnotes as good as it can, allows customization of styles
differing across footnote blocks, allows verbatim text in
footnotes and so on.
