FIRST INSTRUCTIONS
for
EDNOTES
Distribution 2006
(this file October 5, 2006)
Uwe Lueck, dir. Christian Tapp
http://www.contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu
====================+=====+=======++=======+=====+====================
CONTENTs of the present file:
Purpose -- recent (future) changes -- RIGHTS -- installing `ednotes'
-- learning about `ednotes' -- standalone packages -- contact us --
newsletter -- glossary
PURPOSE of the macros:
Here are macros for typesetting CRITICAL EDITIONS with LaTeX.
Packages `lineno' by Stephan I. B"ottcher, `manyfoot' by Alexander
I. Rozhenko, and `longtable' by David Carlisle are enhanced and
combined. -- For a few first informations, you may have a look at
http://ednotes.sty.de.vu.
** RECENT (FUTURE) CHANGES: **
If you have used `ednotes' earlier than September 2004, we urge you
to read the `CHANGES' file in the `ednotes' directory, especially
concerning the changes of September/October 2004. `ednotes',
`lineno', and `manyfoot' have been changed at one time and interact
differently than before. Some files have been removed, and former
extension packages are now automatically loaded on `ednotes' package
options. -- Other changes have happened more recently, most notably
in `manyfoot' and `nccfoots'. In general, you should find a LaTeX
warning on screen or in your job.log like
You have requested ... version ... of ...
but only version ... is available
telling what other packages need to be updated.
`CHANGING.txt' deals with the possibility that you haven't got the
most recent version of `ednotes' and friends.
RIGHTs:
For COPYRIGHTs as well as conditions of use (NO WARRANTY),
MODIFYING, and (RE)DISTRIBUTION, please see inside the files
mentioned in the present `README' file, as well as
`README-lineno.txt' and `README-ncctools.txt'. Usually, the LaTeX
Project Public License applies, a recent version of which can be
found on
http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
Any REDISTRIBUTION of `ednotes.sty' must contain the file `README'.
If you DISTRIBUTE `manyfoot.sty' and `nccfoots.sty', they must be
accompanied by `manyfoot.dtx', `nccfoots.dtx', and
`README-ncctools.txt'.
INSTALLATION of `ednotes':
For enabling yourself to make use of all the options that
`ednotes' provides, download
edcntwd0.sty
ednmath0.sty
ednotes.sty
edtable.sty
lineno.sty
ltabptch.sty
manyfoot.sty
mfparptc.sty
perpage.sty
nccfoots.sty
vplref.sty
from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ednotes
(e.g., cf. `CTAN' in the glossary). Note that clicking on
"entire directory" suffices.
You then have to make the .sty files listed above "visible"
(see the glossary below) to (La)TeX when it runs your job.
(You may find out through reading documentations that it partially
depends on your intentions which .sty files actually must be there.
E.g., `ednotes.sty' works already when it is accompanied by
`lineno.sty', `manyfoot.sty', and `nccfoots.sty'.)
USAGE of `ednotes':
We recommend not to load (by \usepackage) .sty files other than
`ednotes.sty' (except for "standalone uses" as explained below).
They are handled through `ednotes' package options as explained
in the documentation.
Sorry, the "user guide" and documentation for `ednotes' is, at
present, scattered over the listed .sty files and over the listed
CTAN folders. Here is just a guide through files and folders to
increase your knowledge step by step:
0. Oh, recently some of these explanations have been collected
in ednotes.pdf -- .txt input with .pdf output.
1. An overview of `ednotes' has appeared in TUGboat vol. 24.
no. 2; the above `ednotes' directory of CTAN contains an
updated .pdf version `ednotugb.pdf' of it. It demonstrates
through some examples what output certain commands produce.
It also compares `ednotes' with two other (La)TeX packages
for critical edition typesetting.
2. Next (or even first) we recommend reading the explanations at
the beginning of `ednotes.sty'.
3. You may find references to .sty files from the `ednotes' and
the `lineno' folder for reading about additional details of
usage.
4. `lineno.sty' provides commands and options that are very useful
to know for creating critical editions by `ednotes'. You can
read about these commands and options in `lineno.sty'.
Moreover, the explanations from `lineno.sty' can be printed
through `lineno.tex' or `lineno.pdf' obtainable from the above
`ednotes' directory. You find there as well an attempt at a
user's guide for `lineno' -- `ulineno.tex' and `ulineno.pdf'.
The latter is not quite up to date, but it may be helpful
though. -- When you use `ednotes', don't believe what the
`lineno' documentation tells about, e.g.,
\usepackage[edtable]{lineno}
(such statements address usage of `lineno' without `ednotes').
Many package options of `ednotes.sty' are just passed to
`lineno.sty', so the `lineno' documentation is `ednotes'
documentation in this respect.
5. `manyfoot' is another essential module for making `ednotes'
work, though you may hardly need to know about it, `ednotes'
is a kind of user interface for `manyfoot'. However, you may
inform yourself about offers of `manyfoot' for certain fine
points of critical edition typesetting through `manyfoot.dtx'
or `manyfoot.pdf' -- which you find in
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools
(e.g., cf. `CTAN' in the glossary). There are `nccfoots.dtx'
and `nccfoots.pdf' as well. Indeed you may find functions of
`manyfoot' useful just for your commentary passages.
6. `perpage.sty' is mentioned here mainly to allow use of
`manyfoot's `perpage' option. It contains brief explanations.
7. `longtable', of course, is explained in `longtable.dtx' and
various guides for LaTeX.
8. We have prepared something for listing line numbers for index
terms. We don't take the time to integrate it here -- please
contact us (see below) if you are interested.
Standalone files:
Some of the listed .sty files which are our work may be useful
without using `ednotes':
1. Whenever you use `manyfoot', you can load `mfparptc.sty' after
`manyfoot.sty' just to modify the behaviour of `manyfoot' in
the way that is explained in `mfparptc.sty'.
Moreover, there is a file `mfparxsp.sty', made for the
possibility that some `manyfoot' user has used an earlier
version of `mfparxsp.sty' which has become obsolete.
2. For extending lineno.sty by packages from here, see
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/lineno
(e.g., cf. `CTAN' in the glossary).
3. `ltabptch.sty', a patch for `longtable', can be used whenever
`longtable' is used.
4. An additional file `lblchng1.sty' deals with page break
oscillations, by code as well as by explanations and
discussion. It can be used entirely independently from
any of the packages mentioned before.
Contact us:
We would be happy about your suggestions and (in a way) about your
bug reports. Since documentation is so poor at present, please feel
free to ask us for help if needed. Please contact us via
http://www.contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu
Newsletter:
E.g., you may ask us to take your e-mail address into a mailing
list for reporting `ednotes' changes.
Lucky typesetting!
______________________________________________________________________
GLOSSARY:
* `CTAN'
abbreviates `Comprehensive TeX Archive Network', cf., e.g.,
http://www.ctan.org
http://tug.org/ctan.html
and read about "mirrors" there. You will understand that you
may replace `www.ctan.org/tex-archive' by `www.dante.de/CTAN'
(e.g.) in the above-mentioned URL. (But dante doesn't offer
the "entire directory" function.)
* visible to (La)TeX
-- see the file `visible.txt' in the above `ednotes' directory.
