%\section  Correcting bad page breaks

\section 纠正不良分页

% \bix^^{page breaks//bad}
% Sometimes \TeX\ breaks a page right in the middle of material that you
% want to keep together---for example,
% a section heading and the text that follows it,
% or a short list of related items.  There are two ways to correct the
% situation:
% \ulist\compact
% \li You can force the material to be kept together.
% \li You can force a page break at a different place.
% \endulist

\bix^^{分页//不良分页}
有时,\TeX{} 在你想要放在一起的素材中间分页——例如,章节标题和随后的文
本,或者一个互有联系的项目列表。有两种校正方法:
\ulist\compact
\li 强制素材被放在一起。
\li 在别的地方要求分页。
\endulist

% The simplest way to force \TeX\ to keep material together on a page is
% to enclose the material in a vbox using the |\vbox| command \ctsref{\vbox}.
% ^^|\vbox//fixing page breaks with|
% A vbox is ordinarily better than an hbox for this purpose because most
% often the material to be kept together,
% e.g., a sequence of paragraphs, will be vertical mode material.
% You should
% precede and follow the vbox by an implicit or explicit paragraph command
% (either a blank line or |\par|); otherwise
% \TeX\ may try to make the vbox part of an an adjacent paragraph.
% The vbox method has an important limitation:
% you can't apply it to portions of text smaller than a paragraph.

要强制 \TeX{} 把素材放在同一页上,最简单的办法是
使用 |\vbox| 命令\ctsref{\vbox}来使素材被封装在一个竖直盒子里。
^^|\vbox//用它修正分页|
这里使用竖直盒子比水平盒子要好,因为大多数情况下,
需要放在一起的是竖直模式素材,比如连续的段落。
竖直盒子的前后,你都要放一个隐含或明显的分段命令(或者空行,或者 |\par|);
否则的话,\TeX{} 会试图使竖直盒子成为相邻段落的一部分。
竖直盒子的方法有一个重要的局限:不能用于不足一个段落的小部分文本。


% You can sometimes keep the lines of a single paragraph together by enclosing
% the paragraph in a group and assigning |\interlinepenalty|
% \ctsref{\interlinepenalty}
% a value of $10000$ at the start of the group (or elsewhere before the
% end of the paragraph).
% This method causes \TeX\ to consider page breaks within that paragraph to be
% infinitely undesirable.
% However, if all the page breaks that \TeX\ can find are infinitely undesirable,
% it may break the page within the paragraph anyway.

有时候,要把一个自然段的各行放置在一起,你可以把它封装在一个编组中,并
在编组开始的地方(或者段落结束前的其它位置)令 |\interlinepenalty|%
\ctsref{\interlinepenalty}的值为 $10000$。这样就告诉了 \TeX{},“绝对不
能”在段内分页。但是,如果 \TeX{} 发现所有要分页的地方都是“绝对不能”的,
它可能不管三七二十一,就在自然段里分页。

% A ^|\nobreak| command  (\xref{vnobreak})
% after the end of a paragraph prevents \TeX\
% from breaking the page at the following item
% (unless that item happens to be a penalty of less than $10000$).
% This is also the best way to prevent a page break after a heading,
% since a heading usually behaves like a paragraph.
% The |\nobreak| must follow the blank line or |\par| that ends
% the paragraph so that \TeX\ won't treat the |\nobreak| as part of the
% paragraph.
% For the |\nobreak| to be effective, it must also come before
% any legal breakpoint at the end of the paragraph.
% The glue that \TeX\ inserts
% before the next paragraph is such a breakpoint,
% and so is any vertical glue that you insert explicitly after a paragraph.
% Thus the |\nobreak| should usually be
% the very first thing after the end of the paragraph or heading.

在段落之后使用 ^|\nobreak| 命令 (\xref{vnobreak}) 会阻止 \TeX{} 在下一
项内容之前分页(除非下一项恰好是一个小于 $10000$ 的 惩罚项)。这也是防
止在章节标题之后分页的最佳方案,因为章节标题通常类似于一个自然段落。
|\nobreak| 需要放在段落结束的空行或者 |\par| 之后,从而避免 \TeX{} 将
|\nobreak| 作为段落的一部分处理。 |\nobreak| 还需要出现在段落末尾所有
适合分页的断点之前才有效。\TeX{} 插入在下一个段落之前的粘连就是这样的
一个断点,其他的还有你明确插入在段落后面的任何竖直粘连。 因
此,|\nobreak| 通常出现在段落或者标题结束之后的第一个位置。

% You can use the ^|\eject| command \ctsref{\eject}
% to force \TeX\ to break a page at a
% particular place.  Within a paragraph, you can use the combination
% `|\vadjust{\vfill\eject}|'
% \ctsref{\vadjust}
% ^^|\vadjust|
% to force a break after the next complete output line.
% The reason for preceding |\eject| by ^|\vfill|
% \ctsref{\vfill} is to
% get \TeX\ to fill out the page with blank space.
% However, using |\eject| to fix page break problems
% has a major disadvantage:
% if the page boundaries in your document change,
% the page breaks that you've inserted may no longer be where you want them.

你可以使用 ^|\eject| 命令\ctsref{\eject},强制 \TeX{} 在特定的地方分
页。在段落内部,你可以使用一个组合:`|\vadjust{\vfill\eject}|'
\ctsref{\vadjust}
^^|\vadjust|
在下一行之后强制断开。|\eject| 之前 ^|\vfill|
\ctsref{\vfill} 的作用是让 \TeX{} 使用空白来填充页面。但是,使用
|\eject| 来纠正分页问题的主要缺点在于:如果文档的页边距改变,分页的地
方可能未必就如你所愿那样。

% If you don't provide \TeX\ with a |\vfill| command to fill out the page
% after an |\eject|,
% \TeX\ redistributes the extra blank space as best it can and then usually
% complains that ``an
% underfull |\vbox| (badness $10000$) has occurred while |\output| is active.''
% You may encounter a similar problem with
% any of the methods mentioned above for enclosing
% material that you want to keep together.

如果你没有在 |\eject| 之后\footnote{译注:疑为笔误,应该是“之前”。}使用 |\vfill| 命令,
\TeX{} 将尽其所能地重新分配额外的空白间距,然后
发牢骚:“an underfull |\vbox| (badness $10000$) has occurred while |\output| is
 active.”上面讲的封装素材在一起的任一方法中,类似的问题也会出现。

% The ^|\filbreak| command \ctsref\filbreak{}
% \xrdef{filbreak}
% provides a way of keeping the lines of one or more paragraphs
% (or other vertical mode material) together on
% a page.  If you enclose a paragraph in |\filbreak|s, \TeX\ will effectively
% ignore the |\filbreak|s if the paragraph fits on the current page and
% break the page before the first |\filbreak| if the paragraph doesn't fit.
% If you put |\filbreak|s around each paragraph in a sequence of paragraphs,
% like this:
% {\obeylines\display{
% {\tt \\filbreak}
% \<paragraph>
% {\tt \\filbreak}
% \<paragraph>
% {\tt \\filbreak}
% \leavevmode\indent\vdots
% \<paragraph>
% {\tt \\filbreak}
% }}
% \vfil\eject
% \noindent
% \TeX\ will keep the lines of each paragraph together on a page.
% If \TeX{} breaks a page at a |\filbreak|, it will fill the bottom of the
% page with blank space.

^|\filbreak| 命令 \ctsref\filbreak{}
\xrdef{filbreak}
提供了一种方式来把一个自然段或几个段落(或者其他竖直模式素材)放在同一
页面上。当你用 |\filbreak| 来封闭一个自然段的时候,如果段落内容可以放
置在一页, \TeX{} 会有效地忽略那些 |\filbreak|;如果不是,\TeX{} 将在
第一个 |\filbreak| 之前分页。如果在连续段落中,每个自然段前后都有
|\filbreak|,比如这样:
{\obeylines\display{
{\tt \\filbreak}
\<paragraph>
{\tt \\filbreak}
\<paragraph>
{\tt \\filbreak}
\leavevmode\indent\vdots
\<paragraph>
{\tt \\filbreak}
}}
\vfil\eject
\noindent
\TeX{} 将使每一段都是同页。如果在 |\filbreak| 处分页, \TeX{} 将用空白
填充页面底部。

% Sometimes you can get \TeX\ to modify the length of a page by changing
% the ^|\looseness| parameter \ctsref\looseness{} for one or more paragraphs.
% Setting |\looseness| negative within a paragraph causes \TeX\ to try to squeeze
% the paragraph into fewer lines; setting it positive causes \TeX\ to try to
% expand the paragraph into more lines.  The disadvantage of changing |\looseness|
% is that the interword spacing in the affected region won't be optimal.
% You can get further information about \TeX's attempted line breaks by
% setting |\tracingpages| (\xref\tracingpages) to $1$.

有时,你可以改变一个或几个段落的 ^|\looseness| 参数\ctsref{\looseness}%
以修改页面的长度。设置 |\looseness| 为负会让 \TeX{} 试图缩减段落的行数;
为正则增加其行数。改变 |\looseness| 的缺点在于:受影响区域的单词间距不是最佳的。
要了解更多的断行信息,可以设置 |\tracingpages|(\xref\tracingpages )为 $1$。

% \section Preserving the end of a page

\section 保留页尾

% Sometimes you need to modify something on a single page and you want to avoid
% reprinting the entire document.  If your modification doesn't
% change the page length too much, there's hope.  You need to fix the end
% of the page so that it falls in the same place;
% the methods are similar to the ones for fixing a bad page break.

有时你需要在单个页面上修改某些地方但是又不想重排全部文档。如果页面长度
没有因为修改而改变很多,那就可以实现。你要做的是固定页面的尾部不
变,所需的办法跟纠正不良分页那里一样。

% If the original end of page came between paragraphs, you can
% force a page break at the same place
% using any of the methods we've described above.  Otherwise,
% you must force \emph{both} a line break and a page break at a particular
% place.  If the new page is shorter than the old one, the sequence:
% \csdisplay
% \vadjust{\vfill\eject}\break
% |
% ^^|\vadjust|
% should do the trick.
% But if the new page is longer,
% the problem is far more difficult because \TeX\ has probably already
% squeezed the page as tightly as it can.  Your only hopes in this case are
% to set ^|\looseness| \ctsref\looseness{} to a negative value,
% to shorten some of the vertical skips on the page, to add some shrink to
% ^|\parskip| (\xref\parskip) if it was nonzero, or, as a last resort,
% to decrease |\baselineskip| \ctsref{\baselineskip} ever so slightly.
% ^^|\baselineskip//and preserving end of page|

如果原来的页尾就是正好是两个段落中间,你可以用前面描述的方法在同样位置
强制分页。其他情况下,你必须要在指定位置\emph{同时}强制断行和分页。如
果新页面比旧页面要短,命令序列:
\csdisplay
\vadjust{\vfill\eject}\break
|
^^|\vadjust|
是一个捷径。但是,如果新的页面要长一些的话,问题就非常难办,因为
\TeX{} 可能已经尽量使页面非常紧凑了。这时唯一的办法就是设定
^|\looseness|\ctsref\looseness{}为负值,来缩短页面上的一些竖直间距,
如果 ^|\parskip| (\xref\parskip) 非零,压缩一下, 或者祭出压箱底的绝
招:略微减小 |\baselineskip| \ctsref{\baselineskip}。
^^|\baselineskip//用于保留页尾|

% \section Leaving space at the top of a page

\section 保留页首空白

% \null
% ^^{vertical space//reserving at top of page}
% You can usually use the |\vskip| command \ctsref\vskip{}
% to leave vertical space on a page.
% That doesn't work at the top of a page, however, since
% \TeX\ discards glue, kerns, and penalties that occur just after a page break.
% ^^{page breaks//glue at}
% Use the ^|\topglue| command \ctsref\topglue\ instead; it produces glue that
% never disappears.
% \eix^^{page breaks//bad}

\null
^^{竖直间隔//保留页首空白}
通常你可以使用 |\vskip| 命令\ctsref\vskip{} 在页面上添加空白竖直间距,
但这一招对页首无效,因为在紧接着分页后的所有粘连,紧排和惩罚,
都会被 \TeX{} 会丢弃。
^^{分页//分页处的粘连}
一个替代:^|\topglue| 命令 \ctsref\topglue\ ,能产生永不消失的粘连。
\eix^^{分页//不良分页}

% \section Correcting bad line breaks

\section 纠正不良断行

% \null
% \bix^^{line breaks//bad}
% If \TeX\ breaks a line in the middle of material that you wanted to keep
% on a single line, there are several ways to correct the situation:
% \ulist\compact
% \li You can force a break in a nearby place with the
% |\break| command (\xref{hbreak}).
% ^^|\break//correcting line breaks with|
% \li You can insert a tie (|~|) between two words
% (see \xref{@not}) to prevent a break between them.\ttidxref{~}
% \li You can tell \TeX\ about hyphenations that it wouldn't
% otherwise consider by
% inserting one or more discretionary hyphens in various words
% (see |\-|, \xref{\@minus}).
% \ctsidxref{-//in line breaking}
% ^^{discretionary hyphens//bad line breaks, correcting with}
% \li You can enclose several words in an hbox using the ^|\hbox|
% command \ctsref{\hbox}.
% \endulist

\null
\bix^^{断行//不良断行}
如果 \TeX{} 在需要放在一行的内容中间断行了,有好几种方法能纠正这种情况:
\ulist\compact
\li 你可以使用 |\break| 命令(\xref{hbreak}),在旁边强制断行。
 ^^|\break//纠正断行|
\li 你可以在两个单词之间插入一个带子(|~|)(见\xref{@not}),来防止在它们之间断开。\ttidxref{~}
\li 你可以在一些单词里插入一个或者多个自定连字符,来告诉 \TeX{} 新的断词规则(参考 |\-|,\xref{\@minus})。
\ifoldeplain\ctsidxref{-//在断行中}\fi
 ^^{自定连字符//纠正不良断行}
\li 你可以使用 ^|\hbox| 命令\ctsref{\hbox},把几个单词封装在一个水平盒子里。
\endulist

% The disadvantage of all of these methods, except for inserting discretionary
% hyphens, is that they may make it impossible for \TeX\ to find a
% satisfactory set of line breaks.  Should that happen, \TeX\ will
% set one or more underfull or overfull boxes and complain about it.
% ^^{underfull boxes} ^^{overfull boxes}
% The hbox method has a further disadvantage: because \TeX\ sets an hbox
% as a single unit without considering its context, the interword space
% within the hbox may not be consistent with the interword space in the rest of
% the line.
% \eix^^{line breaks//bad}

除了插入临时连字符以外, 其他几种方法都有这样的缺点:\TeX{} 不能产生最佳的断行设置。
一旦如此,\TeX{} 将产生一个或多个未满或溢出盒子,并且对此抱怨。
^^{未满盒子} ^^{过满盒子}
水平盒子的方法还有另外一个缺点:
因为 \TeX{} 处理一个水平盒子的方式是不考虑其中的内容而置其为一个基本单位,
结果盒子内部的单词间距可能会与一行内其它地方不一致。
\eix^^{断行//不良断行}

% \section Correcting overfull or underfull boxes
\section 纠正溢出或未满盒子

% \null
% \bix^^{overfull boxes}
% \bix^^{underfull boxes}
% \bix^^{boxes//overfull}
% \bix^^{boxes//underfull}
% If \TeX\ complains about an overfull box, it means you've put
% more material into a box than that box has room for.
% Similarly, if \TeX\ complains about an underfull box, it means you
% haven't put enough material into the box.  You can encounter
% these complaints under many different circumstances, so let's look at the more
% common ones:

\null
\bix^^{过满盒子}
\bix^^{未满盒子}
\bix^^{盒子//过满盒子}
\bix^^{盒子//未满盒子}
如果 \TeX{} 抱怨一个溢出盒子,那表示你在一个盒子里放置了超出盒子空间的内容。类似的,如果 \TeX{} 抱怨的是一个未满盒子,那是说你没有往盒子里加入足够多的内容。这些抱怨可以在许多情形下发生,所以,让我们先看看一般的情况:

% \ulist
% \li An overfull hbox that's a line of a paragraph indicates that the line was
% too long and that
% \TeX\ couldn't rearrange the paragraph
% to make the line shorter.  If you set ^|\emergencystretch|
% \ctsref{\emergencystretch} to some nonzero
% value, that may cure the problem by allowing \TeX\ to put more space between
% words.  Another solution is to set |\tolerance| \ctsref{\tolerance}
% to $10000$, but that's likely
% to yield lines with far too much space in them.  Yet another solution is to
% insert a discretionary hyphen
% ^^{discretionary hyphens//overfull boxes, correcting with}
% in a critical word that \TeX\ didn't know how to hyphenate.
% If all else fails, you might try rewording the paragraph.
% A solution that is rarely satisfactory is increasing ^|\hfuzz| \ctsref\hfuzz,
% allowing \TeX\ to construct lines that project beyond the right margin.

\ulist
\li 一个水平溢出盒子,如果是段落中的一行,表示那一行太长而且 \TeX{} 不能重新安排段落来缩短它。
如果你设置 ^|\emergencystretch|\ctsref{\emergencystretch} 的值非零,
\TeX{} 将在单词间插入更多的空白,可能会有助于解决这个问题。
另一个办法是设置 |\tolerance| \ctsref{\tolerance} $10000$,但它往往会导致行内太多的空白。
还有一个办法是对在 \TeX\ 里未定义断词规则的关键单词插入自定连字符。
^^{自定连字符//纠正过满盒子}
如果这些都不管用,那你可能只好去重写那个段落了。
一个不是很好的方法是增加 ^|\hfuzz|\ctsref\hfuzz ,来允许 \TeX{} 排版超出右边界的行。

% \li An underfull hbox that's a line of a paragraph indicates that the line was
% too short and that \TeX\ couldn't rearrange the paragraph to
% make the line longer.
% \TeX\ will set such a line by stretching its interword spaces
% beyond their normal
% limits.  Two of the cures for overfull lines mentioned above
% also apply to underfull lines:
% inserting discretionary hyphens and rewording the paragraph.
% Underfull lines

\li 一个水平未满盒子,如果是段落里的一行,表示那一行太短了,\TeX{} 不能重新安排段落来使之变长。\TeX{} 将加大单词间的空白,甚至超过正常限度。上面提到的对付溢出行的两种纠正办法:插入临时的连字符和重写段落,都可以用于未满的行。对于使用 ^|\raggedright| 命令 \ctsref\raggedright 得到的左对齐格式,就没有未满行的问题。

% indicates that \TeX\ didn't have enough material to fill up a page.  The
% likely cause is that you've been using vboxes to keep material together
% and \TeX\ has encountered a vbox near the bottom of a page that wouldn't fit on
% that page.
% It has put the vbox on the next page, but in doing so has left too much
% empty space in the current page.
% In this case you'll either have to insert some more space
% elsewhere on the current page or break up the vbox into smaller parts.

\li 抱怨信息:
\csdisplay
Underfull \vbox (badness 10000) has occurred

表明 \TeX{} 因为没有足够的素材而没有填满一页。可能的原因是:
你使用了竖直盒子来把素材放在一起,但是在接近页面的底部时,
\TeX{} 遇到了一个不适合放在那里的竖直盒子。
结果那个盒子被移至下一页,而在当前页上留下了太多空白。
在这种情况下,或者你要在别的地方插入更多的空白,
或者将那个竖直盒子打破,变得小一点。

% Another possible cause of this complaint is having a long paragraph
% that occupies an entire page without a break.
% Since \TeX\ won't ordinarily vary the spacing between lines,
% it may be unable to fill a gap at the bottom of the page
% amounting to a fraction of the line spacing.
% This can happen if |\vsize| \ctsref{\vsize}, the page length,
% is not an even multiple of |\baselineskip| \ctsref{\baselineskip},
% the space between consecutive
% baselines.

出现这一抱怨信息的另一个可能原因是:一个长段落覆盖了整页而没有分段。
通常 \TeX\ 不会自动调整基行距离,因此,在一页的末尾,就没法填满不足一个行间距的空白。
如果页面长度 |\vsize|\ctsref{\vsize}恰好不是基线距离
|\baselineskip|\ctsref{\baselineskip}的整数倍,这种情况就会出现。

% Yet another cause of this complaint,
% similar to the previous one, is setting ^|\parskip| \ctsref{\parskip},
% the interparagraph glue, to a value that doesn't have any
% stretch or shrink. You can fix these last two problems by increasing ^|\vfuzz|
% \ctsref\vfuzz.

关于这一抱怨信息还有一个原因:与上面相仿,
段落间的粘连 ^|\parskip|\ctsref{\parskip},被固定为不能拉伸或挤压的值。
后面的这两种情况,你可以增加 ^|\vfuzz|\ctsref\vfuzz 予以解决。

% \li The complaint

宏定义如果写的不仔细,也可能导致多余的空白。当你应用一个宏,但是有多余

% ^^{restricted mode//horizontal}
% If you try it,
% you'll get a misleading error message that suggests you're
% missing the end of a group.
% The way around this restriction is to write:
% \csdisplay
% \vbox{\hsize = !<dimen> !dots !<paragraphs> !dots}
% |
% where \<dimen> is the line length that you want for the paragraphs.
% This is what you need to do, in particular, when you want to enclose some
% paragraphs in a box (a box enclosed in ruled lines, not a \TeX\ box).

假设你有一些文字段落想放到页面的一个特定位置。显而易见的方式是用一个合
适尺寸的水平盒子来封装段落,然后放到想要的位置。哎呀,这个办法不管用,
因为 \TeX\ 不能在受限水平模式下断行。
^^{受限模式//水平受限模式}

眉和页脚,但是处理多于一行的页眉和页脚,就不大灵光。然而,通过重新定义
\TeX\ 的输出例行程序的一些宏,就可以实现。

% For a multiline header, you need to do three things:
% \olist\compact
% \li Redefine the ^|\makeheadline| macro that's called from \TeX's
% output routine.
% \li Increase ^|\voffset| by the amount of vertical space consumed by the
% extra lines.
% \li Decrease ^|\vsize| by the same amount.
% \endolist
% \noindent The following example shows how you might do this:
% \csdisplay
% \advance\voffset by 2\baselineskip
% \advance\vsize by -2\baselineskip
% \def\makeheadline{\vbox to 0pt{\vss\noindent
%    Header line 1\hfil Page \folio\break
%    Header line 2\hfil\break
%    Header line 3\hfil}%
%    \vskip\baselineskip}
% |
% You can usually follow the pattern of this definition quite closely, just
% substituting your own header lines and choosing an appropriate multiple
% of |\baselineskip| (one less than the number of lines in the
% header).

为了得到多行页眉,你需要做三件事:
\olist\compact
\li 重新定义 ^|\makeheadline| 宏,\TeX\ 的输出例行程序将会用到它。
\li 把额外的行所需的竖直距离加给 ^|\voffset|。
\li 对 ^|\vsize| 减少同样的大小。
\endolist
\noindent 下面的例子演示了你可以怎样做:
\csdisplay
\advance\voffset by 2\baselineskip
\advance\vsize by -2\baselineskip
\def\makeheadline{\vbox to 0pt{\vss\noindent
   Header line 1\hfil Page \folio\break
   Header line 2\hfil\break
   Header line 3\hfil}%
   \vskip\baselineskip}
|
一般你照着这个定义的样子做就可以了,只需要替换你自己的页眉内容并选一个
合适的倍数给 |\baselineskip| (页眉行数减一)。

% For a multiline footer, the method is similar:
% \olist
% \li Redefine the ^|\makefootline| macro that's called from \TeX's
% output routine.
% \li Decrease ^|\vsize| by the amount of vertical space consumed by the
% extra lines.
% \endolist
% \noindent The following example shows how you might do this:
% \csdisplay
% \advance\vsize by -2\baselineskip
% \def\makefootline{%
%    \lineskip = 24pt
%    \vbox{\raggedright\noindent
%    Footer line 1\hfil\break
%    Footer line 2\hfil\break
%    Footer line 3\hfil}}
% |
% Again, you can usually follow the pattern of this definition quite closely.
% The value of |\lineskip| determines the amount of space between the
% baseline of the last line
% of the main text on the page and the baseline of the first line of the footer.
% \eix^^{headers//multiple-line}
% \eix^^{footers//multiple-line}

对多行页脚的处理也类似:
\olist
\li 重新定义 ^|\makefootline| 宏,\TeX\ 的输出例行程序将会用到它。
\li 把额外的行所需的竖直距离加给 ^|\voffset|。
\li 从 ^|\vsize| 减去额外的行所需的竖直距离。
\endolist
\noindent 下面的例子演示了你可以怎样做:
\csdisplay
\advance\vsize by -2\baselineskip
\def\makefootline{%
   \lineskip = 24pt
   \vbox{\raggedright\noindent
   Footer line 1\hfil\break
   Footer line 2\hfil\break
   Footer line 3\hfil}}
|

% Let's assume the problem is an extra left brace.
% If the extra left brace
% is, say, between the third and fourth fake ending,
% you'll get error messages from the first three fake endings but not from
% the fourth one.  The reason is that \TeX\ will ignore the first three
% fake endings after complaining about them,
% but the fourth fake ending will match
% the extra left brace.
% Thus you know that the extra left brace
% is somewhere between the third and fourth
% fake ending.
% If the region of the error
% is still too large for you to find it,
% just remove the original set of fake endings and
% repeat the process within that region.
% If the problem is a missing right brace rather than an extra left brace,
% you should be able to track it down once you've found its mate.
一条有用的调试技巧是,
在文档内部等距离地插入五到六处类似下面的内容(不要放在已知的编组里):
\csdisplay
}% a fake ending
|
假设问题是多了一个左花括号。如果它在第三和第四个伪装结尾(fake ending)之间,
你将从前三个伪装结尾的地方得到出错消息,第四个则不会。
原因是 \TeX\ 将抱怨并忽略前三个伪装结尾,但是第四个正好匹配了那个额外的左花括号。
这样你就知道了那个额外的左花括号在第三和第四个伪装结尾之间某个地方。
如果嫌疑区域仍然太大,就去除已有的伪装结尾,并在嫌疑区域内重复上述步骤。
如果问题是缺少一个右花括号,一旦你发现左边那个,就能确定右边的了。

% This method doesn't work under all circumstances.  In particular, it doesn't
% work if your document consists of several really large groups.  But often
% you can find some variation on this method that will lead you to that
% elusive brace.
这个方法不是必杀技。特别是,如果文档中有几个很大的组,这个方法就不那么灵了。
然而大多数情况下,你可以适当地变化一下这个方法来找出暗地捣乱的花括号。

% If all else fails, try shortening your input by removing
% the last half of the file
% (after stashing away the original version first!) or inserting a
% |\bye| command in the middle.
% If the error persists, you know it's in the first half; if it goes away,
% you know it's in the second half.
% By repeating this process you'll eventually find the error.
% \eix^^{braces//mismatched}
如果其他方法都不管用了,
那就试着删掉文档后半部分(注意备份!)或者在中间插入一个 |\bye| 命令。
如果问题仍然存在,那你就可以确知它在前一半文档中;
如果没有问题了,你也可以确知问题在后一般文档里。
重复这个过程,最终你将会发现错误所在。

% \section Setting dimensions
\section 设置尺寸

% \null
% \bix^^{\<dimen>}
% The simplest way to set a dimension is to specify it directly, e.g.:
% \csdisplay
% \hsize = 6in
% |
% You can also specify a dimension in terms of other dimensions or as a mixture
% of different units, but it's a little more work.  There are two ways
% to construct a dimension as such a combination:
% \olist\compact
% \li You can add a dimension to a dimension parameter or to a dimension
% register.
% For example:
% \csdisplay
% \hsize = 6in \advance\hsize by 3pc % 6in + 3pc
% |
% \li You can indicate a dimension as a multiple of a dimension
% or glue parameter or register.
% In this case, \TeX\ converts glue to a dimension by throwing away
% the stretch and shrink.  For example:
% \csdisplay
% \parindent = .15\hsize
% \advance\vsize by -2\parskip
% |
% \endolist
% \eix^^{\<dimen>}
\null
\bix^^{\<dimen>}
设置尺寸的最简单办法是直接赋值,比如:
\csdisplay
\hsize = 6in
|
你也可以用其他尺寸来设定或者混用多种长度单位,这要多费一点事。
有两种方法来创建这样的尺寸组合:
\olist\compact
\li 你可以增加一个尺寸到另一个尺寸参数或寄存器。例如:
\csdisplay
\hsize = 6in \advance\hsize by 3pc % 6in + 3pc
|
\li 你可以将一个尺寸取为另一个尺寸(或粘连)参数或寄存器的倍数。
这时候,\TeX\ 将丢掉粘连的伸长量和收缩量把它转换为尺寸。例如:
\csdisplay
\parindent = .15\hsize
\advance\vsize by -2\parskip
|
\endolist

%\section Creating composite fonts
\section 创建混合字体

% \null
% \bix^^{fonts//composite}
% It's sometimes useful to create a ``composite font'',
% named by a control sequence $\cal F$, in which all the characters
% are taken from a font $f_1$ except for a few that are
% borrowed from another font $f_2$.
% You can then set text in the composite font by using $\cal F$ just as
% you'd use any other font identifier.
\null
\bix^^{字体//混合字体}
有时候新建一种``混合字体''会很有用处。混合字体命名为一个控制序列 $\cal
F$, 它的字符基于一种字体 $f_1$,但是有一些来自另一种字体 $f_2$。然后你
可以像调用其他字体一样使用 $\cal F$ 来设定文本使用混合字体。

% You can create such a composite font by defining $\cal F$ as a macro.
% In the definition of $\cal F$, you first select font $f_1$ and then
% define control sequences that produce the borrowed characters,
% set in $f_2$.
% For example, suppose that you want to
% create a composite font |\britrm| which has all the characters of |cmr10|
% except for the dollar sign, for which you want to borrow
% the pound sterling symbol
% from font |cmti10|.
% The pound sterling symbol in |cmti10| happens to be in the same font position
% as the dollar sign in |cmr10|.
% Here's how to do it:
% \csdisplay
% \def\britrm{%
%    \tenrm % \tenrm names the cmr10 font
%    \def\${{\tenit\char `\$}}% \tenit names the cmti10 font.
% }
% |
% Now whenever you start the font named |\britrm|,
% |\$| will produce a pound sterling symbol.

要创建混合字体,你可以定义 $\cal F$ 为一个宏。宏定义中,首先选择字体
$f_1$, 然后定义控制序列来产生从 $f_2$ 借来的字符。举个例子,假如你要创
建一种混合字体 |\britrm|:基于 |cmr10| 但是其中的美元符号借用 |cmti10|
的英镑符号. 英镑符号在 |cmti10| 的位置恰好跟美元符号在 |cmr10| 里的位置一样。
你可以这样做:
\csdisplay
\def\britrm{%
   \tenrm % \tenrm names the cmr10 font
   \def\${{\tenit\char `\$}}% \tenit names the cmti10 font.
}
|
现在,当你使用 |\britrm| 字体的时候,|\$| 将生成英镑符号。

% You can also get the same effect by changing the category codes
% of the characters in question to make those characters active and then
% providing a definition for the character.  For example:
% \csdisplay
% \catcode `* = \active
% \def*{{\tentt \char `\*}}
% |
% In this case the asterisk will be taken from the |\tentt| font.
% If you then type the input line:
% \csdisplay
% Debbie was the * of the show.
% |
% it will be set as:
% {\font\tentt=cmtt10%
% \catcode `* = \active
% \def*{{\tentt \char `\*}}%
% \display{Debbie was the * of the show.}}
% \noindent

% \eix^^{fonts//composite}

另一种方法会有同样的效果:首先改动类别码(category codes)来激活所考
虑的字符,然后定义它们。例如:
\csdisplay
\catcode `* = \active
\def*{{\tentt \char `\*}}
|
这个例子里,星号将从 |\tentt| 字体借用。如果接下来输入:
\csdisplay
Debbie was the * of the show.
|
效果将会是
{\font\tentt=cmtt10%
\catcode `* = \active
\def*{{\tentt \char `\*}}%
\display{Debbie was the * of the show.}}
\noindent

%\section Reproducing text verbatim

% ^^{verbatim text}\xrdef{verbatim}
% Verbatim text is text that is reproduced in a typeset

% The most common use of verbatim text is in typesetting

% including both computer programs and input to \TeX\ itself.
% ^^{computer programs, typesetting}
% Computer input is not easy to produce verbatim for two reasons:
% \olist\compact
% \li Some characters (control symbols, escape characters, braces,
% etc.) have
% special meanings to \TeX.
% \li Ends of line and multiple spaces are translated to single spaces.
% \endolist
% \noindent
% In order to produce verbatim text, you have to cancel the special meanings
% and disable the translation.  This is best done with macros.

\null
^^{原文文本}\xrdef{verbatim}
原文是“输入什么样,就是什么样”的文本。比较常见的是排版计算机输入,包
括计算机程序和 \TeX{} 输入。
^^{计算机程序,排版}
计算机输入不易以原文呈现的原因是:
\olist\compact
\li 有些字符(控制字符,转义符,花括号等)在 \TeX{} 里有特殊的含义。
\li 行尾和多个空格会被转换为一个空格。
\endolist
\noindent
为了呈现原文,你必须取消这些特殊含义和转换。最好的办法是使用宏。

% To cancel the special meanings, you need to change the category codes
% of those characters that have special meanings.
% ^^{category codes//for verbatim text}
% The following macro illustrates how you might do it:
% \csdisplay
% \chardef \other = 12
% \def\deactivate{%
%    \catcode`\\ = \other   \catcode`\{ = \other
%    \catcode`\} = \other   \catcode`\$ = \other
%    \catcode`\& = \other   \catcode`\# = \other
%    \catcode`\% = \other   \catcode`\~ = \other
%    \catcode`\^ = \other   \catcode`\_ = \other
% }
% |
% But beware! Once you've changed the category codes in this way, you've lost
% the ability to use control sequences since there's no longer an escape
% character.  You need some way of getting back to the normal mode of
% operation.  We'll explain how to do that in a moment, after considering
% the other problem: disabling the translation of spaces and ends of line.

要取消特殊含义,你可以改变那些字符的类别码。
^^{类别码//用于原文文本}
接下来的宏演示你如何做:
\csdisplay
\chardef \other = 12
\def\deactivate{%
   \catcode`\\ = \other   \catcode`\{ = \other
   \catcode`\} = \other   \catcode`\$ = \other
   \catcode`\& = \other   \catcode`\# = \other
   \catcode`\% = \other   \catcode`\~ = \other
   \catcode`\^ = \other   \catcode`\_ = \other
}
|
小心!一旦这样改变了类别码,就不能再使用任何控制序列了,因为现在不
再有转义符了。你需要想法回到正常的操作模式。接下来,介绍完另一个问
题:取消多个空格和行尾的转换以后,我们将予以解释。

% \PlainTeX\ has two commands that together nearly solve the problem:
% ^|\obeyspaces| \ctsref{\obeyspaces} and ^|\obeylines| \ctsref{\obeylines}.
% The two things that they don't do are to preserve spaces at the start of
% a line
% and to preserve blank lines.
% For that you need stronger measures---which are provided by
% the ^|\obeywhitespace| macro that we are about to define.

\PlainTeX{} 有两个命令:^|\obeyspaces|\ctsref{\obeyspaces}和
^|\obeylines|\ctsref{\obeylines}, 几乎已经解决了上述问题, 除了两件
事:保留行首的空格以及保留多个空白行。对此,你需要更强大的方法——使用
我们将要定义的 ^|\obeywhitespace| 宏。

% \TeX\ normally insists on collecting lines into paragraphs. One way to
% convince it to take line boundaries literally is to turn individual lines
% into paragraphs.\footnote{%
% Another way is to turn the end of line character into a |\break|
% command and provide infinite glue at the end of each line.
% ^^|\break//end of line as|
% }
% You can do this by redefining the end of line character to produce
% the |\par| control sequence.  The following three macro definitions
% show how:

% ^^{whitespace, preserving}
% \xrdef{\obeywhitespace}
% \csdisplay
% \def\makeactive#1{\catcode`#1 = \active \ignorespaces}
% {% The group delimits the text over which ^^M is active.
%    \makeactive\^^M %
%    \gdef\obeywhitespace{%
%    % Use \gdef so the definition survives the group.
%       \makeactive\^^M %
%       \let^^M = \newline %
%       \aftergroup\removebox % Kill extra paragraph at end.
%       \obeyspaces %
%    }%
% }
% \def\newline{\par\indent}
% \def\removebox{\setbox0=\lastbox}

% |
% A subtle point about the definition of |\obeywhitespace| is that
% |^^M| must be made active both
% when |\obeywhitespace| is being \emph{defined} and when
% it is being \emph{used}.

\TeX{} 总是收集多行文本为段落。为了原文呈现各行,一个办法是把每一行转换
为独立的段落。\footnote{%
另一个办法是把行尾字符变为 |\break| 命令,并且在每一行尾施加无穷大的粘连。
^^|\break//将行尾字符变为它|
}
你可以重新定义行尾字符来产生一个控制序列 |\par|。下面三个宏定义演示了如
何做:

^^{空白,保留}
\xrdef{\obeywhitespace}
\csdisplay
\def\makeactive#1{\catcode`#1 = \active \ignorespaces}
{% The group delimits the text over which ^^M is active.
   \makeactive\^^M %
   \gdef\obeywhitespace{%
   % Use \gdef so the definition survives the group.
      \makeactive\^^M %
      \let^^M = \newline %
      \aftergroup\removebox % Kill extra paragraph at end.
      \obeyspaces %
   }%
}
\def\newline{\par\indent}
\def\removebox{\setbox0=\lastbox}

|
一个要点是:|^^M| 必须被激活, 无论是\emph{定义} |\obeywhitespace| 还是\emph{使用}它的
时候。

% In order to be able to get back to normal operation after verbatim text,
% you need to choose a character that
% appears rarely if at all in the verbatim text.  This character serves as
% a temporary escape character.
% The vertical bar (|!||) is sometimes a good choice.
% With this choice, the macros:
% \csdisplay
% \def\verbatim{\par\begingroup\deactivate\obeywhitespace
%    \catcode `\!| = 0 % Make !| the new escape character.
% }

% \def\endverbatim{\endgroup\endpar}

% \def\!|{!|}
% |
% will do the trick.  Within the verbatim text, you can use a double
% vertical bar (|!|!||) to denote a single one, and you end the verbatim text
% with |!|endverbatim|.
为了在原文文本之后回到正常的操作模式,你需要选定一个原文文本中几乎不用
的字符来作为临时的转义符。竖线(|!||)经常是一个好的选择。为此,需要宏定
义:
\csdisplay
\def\verbatim{\par\begingroup\deactivate\obeywhitespace
   \catcode `\!| = 0 % Make !| the new escape character.
}

\def\endverbatim{\endgroup\endpar}

\def\!|{!|}
|
在原文文本中,你可以用双竖线(|!|!||)表示单竖线,
并用 |!|endverbatim| 来结束原文部分。

% There are many variations on this technique:
% \ulist
% \li If a programming language has keywords, you can turn
% each keyword into a command that typesets
% that keyword in boldface.  Each keyword in the input should then be
% preceded by the temporary escape character.
% \li If you have a character (again, let's assume it's the vertical bar)
% that
% \emph{never} appears in the verbatim text, you can make it active and
% cause it to end the verbatim text.  The macro definitions then go like
% this:
% \csdisplay
% {\catcode `\!| = \active
% \gdef\verbatim{%
%    \par\begingroup\deactivate\obeywhitespace
%    \catcode `!| = \active
%    \def !|{\endgroup\par}%
% }}
% |
% \endulist
这个技巧可以有很多变化:
\ulist
\li 如果一种编程语言有关键字,你可以把关键字变为一个命令,来产生粗体的
关键字。这时候每一个关键字前面都要跟一个临时转义符。
\li 如果有一个字符(假设是竖线)在原文文本中从来没有用到,你可以激活它
并且用它结束原文部分。宏定义将类似于:
\csdisplay
{\catcode `\!| = \active
\gdef\verbatim{%
   \par\begingroup\deactivate\obeywhitespace
   \catcode `!| = \active
   \def !|{\endgroup\par}%
}}
|

要反激活那些字符来使 \TeX{} 可以像其他字符一样使用它们。

% If you make such a local change to the category code of a character,
% you may sometimes be dismayed to find that
% \TeX\ seems to be paying no attention whatsoever to your change.
% Two aspects of \TeX's behavior are likely causes:
如果局部地改变了类别码,你可能会悲哀地发现 \TeX{} 没有理会你的努力。通
常,原因有两个:
% \olist
% \li \TeX\ determines the category code of an input character
% ^^{input characters}
% and attaches it to the character when it reads in the character.
% Let's say you read in a tilde (|~|) and later
% change the category code of tildes,
% but make the change
% before \TeX's stomach has actually processed that \emph{particular\/}
% tilde \seeconcept{\anatomy}.
% \TeX\ will still respond to that
% tilde using the category code as it was before the change.
% This difficulty typically arises
% when the tilde is part of an argument to a macro
% and the macro itself changes the category code of tilde.
\olist
\li \TeX{} 决定输入字符^^{输入字符}的类别码,读到字符的
时候就贴上相应的类别码。假设读到波浪符(|~|),但是在 \TeX{} 的胃还
没有实际消化\emph{那个}波浪符之前改变了它的类别码\seeconcept{\anatomy}。
\TeX{} 将会继续认定原来贴上的类别码。这样的问题通常是因为波浪符是一个
宏定义的一部分,而那个宏里改变了波浪符的类别码。


% \li When \TeX\ is matching a call of a macro to the definition of that macro,
% it matches not just the characters in the parameter pattern but also their
% category codes.
% ^^{macros//arguments of}
% ^^{macros//parameters of}
% If the category code of a pattern character isn't equal to
% the category code of the same character in the call, \TeX\ won't consider
% the characters as matching.
% This effect can produce mysterious results because it
% \emph{looks} as though the pattern should match.
% For example, if you've defined a macro:
% \csdisplay
% \def\eurodate#1/#2/#3{#2.#1.#3}
% |
% then the slash character must have the same category code when you
% call |\eurodate| as it had when you defined |\eurodate|.
% \endolist
% If the problem arises because the troublesome character is an argument to
% a macro, then
% the usual cure is to redefine the macro as a pair
% of macros |\mstart| and |\mfinish|, where
% |\mstart| is to be called before the argument text
% and |\mfinish| is to be called after it.
% |\mstart| then sets up the category codes and |\mfinish| undoes the change,
% perhaps just by ending a group.
% \eix^^{category codes//changing}

\li 当 \TeX{} 匹配一个宏引用和它的定义时,匹配的不仅仅是参数的字符而且包括他们的类别码。
^^{宏//宏的参量}
^^{宏//宏的参数}
如果定义里字符的类别码与宏引用里的不同,\TeX{} 不会认为字符匹配正确。
这样的效果匪夷所思,因为\emph{看起来}是匹配的。例如,如果你已经定义了宏:
\csdisplay
\def\eurodate#1/#2/#3{#2.#1.#3}
|
然后斜线字符在引用和定义 |\eurodate| 的时候必须有相同的类别码。
\endolist
如果问题是因为嫌疑字符作为宏参量(argument),诊治方法是重新定义宏为一
对宏 |\mstart| 和 |\mfinish|,分别在参量文本的前后应用。
|\mstart| 设定类别码而 |\mfinish| 结束这一编组来取消变动。

% character) and ^|\endlinechar| \ctsref{\endlinechar} to $-1$
% at the beginning of the file.
% Then you can use spaces and ends of line freely in the
% macro definitions without getting
% unwanted spaces when you call the macros.
% The ignored characters won't generate spaces, but they'll still
% act as terminators for control sequences.
% If you really do want a space, you can still get it with the ^|\space|

\null
\bix^^{宏//使宏易读}
为了使得宏文档易读,你可以在文档开头设定空格的类别码为 $9$(忽略字符),^|\endlinechar|
\ctsref{\endlinechar}为 $-1$。然后,你就可以自由地使用空格和断行而不必
担心产生多余的空白。忽略字符不会产生空白,但仍然决定控制序列定义。如果
你真的需要一个空格,可以用 ^|\space| 命令\ctsref\space。

% Of course you'll need to restore the category codes of space and end of line
% to their normal values ($10$ and $5$, respectively) at the end of the file.
% You can do this either by enclosing the entire file in a group or by
% restoring the values explicitly.  If you choose to enclose the file in a group,
% then you should also set ^|\globaldefs| to $1$ so that
% all the macro definitions will be global and thus visible outside of the group.
当然在文档最后,你需要恢复空格和行尾的类别码(分别是 $10$ 和 $5$):可
以把整个文档封装在一个编组里,也可以明确地恢复其正常值。如果使用编组封
装,你还需要设定 ^|\globaldefs| 为 $1$ 以使得整个宏定义是全局的,在编组之
外可见。

% A miniature example of a macro file of this form is:

% \csdisplay
% \catcode `\  = 9  \endlinechar = -1

% \def \makeblankbox #1 #2 {
