%
%		Partially based on examples from _The TeXbook_, by
%		Donald E. Knuth, and various other sources.  Virtually
%		all of the macros from other sources have been rewritten
%		or at least modified.
%
%  Date:	June 3, 1989
%
%  Modified by:
%
%	01-014		Hunter Goatley		21-AUG-1991 10:47
%		Rewrote double-quote macros (they work now!).  Cleaned up
%		a little bit.  Added \slant and \ital.
%
%	01-013		Hunter Goatley		25-JAN-1991 08:23
%		Added \newpage.  Added \tt definitions to \*point macros.
%		Fixed problem with \quotee (quotee name was getting split).
%		Added setting of \hyphenpenalty and \emergencystretch to
%		\newspage macro.
%
%	01-012		Hunter Goatley		15-JAN-1991 07:03
%		Added macro \round to help with keeping page & figure heights
%		even.  It helps some.  Re-worked \beginquote and \endquote.
%		Add \Quote and \quotee.  Added \listindent and dimens.
%		Modified \coltitle to include \noindent; changed amount of
%		\vglue.  Modified \beginlist and \endlist to check for
%		a \parskip of 0pt; if 0, skip .5\baselineskip.  Fixed
%		\centerbox (was \vbox, now \hbox).
%
%	01-011		Hunter Goatley		 5-JAN-1991 23:40
%		Changed \ednote macro so that \sl is redefined as \rm, not \ss.
%		Changed \say macro to look like LaTeX's \typeout macro.
%
%	01-010		Hunter Goatley		 6-OCT-1990 02:55
%		Commented out \ss calls at end of font macros.
%		Placed newsletter hsize commands in a macro (\newspage)
%		so that NEWTEX can be used like TeX normally is.
%
%	01-009		Hunter Goatley		10-MAR-1990 16:05
%		Added \par to the beginning of definition of \endlist.
%
%	01-008		Hunter Goatley		 7-DEC-1989 22:07
%		Added \farright (place hbox flush right or on next line if it
%		won't fit).  Modified definition of \eoa to call \farright.
%		Added \pmb -- "poor man's bold."  Added font cmssxb.  Added
%		\eldots and \edots.
%
%	01-007		Hunter Goatley		 1-OCT-1989 03:41
%		Added figure support for multiple column environment.
%		Added \centerbox.
%
%	01-006		Hunter Goatley		17-AUG-1989 10:11
%		Modified so that "@" is an active character throughout the
%		format file.  Added new header/footer commands that are more
%		flexible.  Improved appearance of shadow box created by
%		\leftshadowbox.
%
%	01-005		Hunter Goatley		10-AUG-1989 22:09
%		Modified \onepageout output routine so that it does not
%		disable interline skip (commented out \offinterlineskip).
%		This was causing the header and footer to appear flush
%		with the main body of text on the page.  Added routine
%		\checkdqbalsub.  Modified \include to automatically call
%		\checkdqbalsub after the file has been read in.
%
%	01-004		Hunter Goatley		30-JUL-1989 03:10
%		Added macros to handle font size changes.  Added code to
%		let " be used.
%
%	01-003		Hunter Goatley		29-JUL-1989 19:26
%		Modified double column routines so that the number of columns
%		can be specified.  The routines now work for 2 to 6 columns
%		of output.
%
%	01-002		Hunter Goatley		23-JUL-1989 22:21
%		Added more comments.  Fixed double column routines so that
%		page sizes are handled properly.
%
%	01-001		Hunter Goatley		 2-JUL-1989 21:28
%		Added macros to handle bibliographies.
%
%	01-000		Hunter Goatley		 3-JUN-1989 14:56

%
%	Define macros to handle multiple column output
%
%	These macros support figures, but the figures must be defined inside
%	the multiple-column environment.  Each column can have up to 3 figures
%	of varying sizes; the figures are referred to as "top", "middle", and
%	"bottom".  Figures are identified via page number, column number, and
%	the position.  In addition, two special figures that span all columns
%	can be specified using column 0 with "top" and "bottom".
%
%	For example, {3}{2}{middle}  refers to the middle figure in column 2
%	of output page 3.
%
%	The figures are stored as temporary inserts (the inserts are freed
%	after \endcolumns).  The inserts are treated as an array whose first
%	entry is \c@lfigstart.
%
%	Note: column figures are not handled on the last page of column output.
%	\balancecolumns does not understand how to deal with them.
%
%	While in X column mode, the text is arranged as one column
%	\columnwidth wide and \pageheight*X tall.  This narrow column is
%	then split into X boxes of equal height.
%
%***************************************
%
%     Allocate a bunch of dimens, boxes, and counts for use in multiple-column
%     macros.
%
\newdimen\columnwidth			% Width of a column
\newdimen\columnseprule			% Width of rule between columns
\newdimen\columnsep			% Width of whitespace between columns
\newdimen\pagewidth			% Total width of page
\newdimen\pageheight			% Total height of page
\newdimen\pageheightkeep		% Total height of page
\newdimen\ruleht			% Height of \hrules
\newif\ifcolfigs			% Create a new \if (true if figures)
\newbox\partialpage			% Box to hold partial page before cols.
\newbox\partialpagetop			% Box to hold figure for top of page
\newbox\partialpagebottom		% Box to hold figure for bottom of page
\newcount\mulc@lbegin			% Allocate a counter
\newcount\mulc@lpart 			% Allocate a counter
\newcount\numberofcols			% Number of columns
\newcount\c@lpageno			% Current page # for column environment
\newcount\maxcolfigs			% Maximum # of figures
\newcount\c@lfigstart			% Starting array slot # for inserts
\newcount\c@lslot			% Work counter to hold current slot #
\newcount\maxfigp@ges			% Maximum # of pages of column output
\newcount\figsperp@ge			% Number of figures on each page
%
%  Allocate multi-column work counters and dimens.
%
\newdimen\tmp@			% Dimen used to calculate pageheights, etc.
\newdimen\tmp@one		% Dimen used to calculate pageheights, etc.
\newcount\tmp@two		% Usually # of cols * 2
\newcount\tmp@three
\newcount\tmp@four
\newcount\tmp@five
\newcount\tmp@six
\newcount\tmp@seven
\newdimen\rtmp@			% Dimen used in rounding
%
%  Initialize the \column* dimens.  If \columnwidth is still 0pt when
%  \begincolumns is called, the correct \columnwidth will be
%  calculated from the current \hsize.  This lets the user set a column
%  width, without requiring that it be done.
%
\columnsep=20pt				% Space between columns
\columnseprule=.4pt			% Width of rule between columns
\columnwidth=0pt			% Initialize columnwidth to 0pt
%
% Initialize pagewidth, pageheight, and ruleht
%
\pagewidth=\hsize \pageheight=\vsize \ruleht=.5pt
%
%  Define constant values used to indicate type of figure stored in
%  figure boxes.  Probably inefficient to store them as macros, but it's
%  easier that way (and they're not hardcoded in the macros below).
%
\def\TopFig@{500}				% Figure is at top of page
\def\BotFig@{600}				% Figure is at bottom of page
\def\RegFig@{321}				% Figure is a corner figure
\def\topc@lpos{1}				% The top figure position (1)
\def\middlec@lpos{2}				% The middle figure position (2)
\def\bottomc@lpos{3}				% The bottom figure position (3)

%
%  Macro \onepageout
%
%	Output routine used to actually shipout pages to the DVI file.
%
\def\onepageout#1{\shipout\vbox{ % here we define one page of output
    {\hsize=\pagewidth\makeheadline}		% Do normal width headline
    %\offinterlineskip				% butt the boxes together
    \vbox to \pageheightkeep{			% Create a vbox big enough
      \boxmaxdepth=\maxdepth			% Set boxmaxdepth
      #1					% Now insert the information
      }						% \vbox to \pageheight
    {\hsize=\pagewidth\makefootline}		% Do normal width footline
    }						% End of \vbox
  \advancepageno				% Advance current page number
  }						% End of \def\onepageout

%\output{\onepageout{\unvbox255}}		% Send out any current output

%
%  When \begincolumns is called:
%
%  \output is set to perform the following functions:
%	Store the current vbox in the partialpage box (with some vskip)
%	Eject the page (executing \output - page is not really ejected)
%  Set new definition of output:
%	Call \multiplecolumnout to output the columns
%  Set \hsize = \columnwidth
%  Set \vsize = (\pageheight * X) - (\ht\partialpage * X) --- each column will
%	now be just as tall as the space below \partialpage
%
%   Sometimes the first \output was executed twice in a row, which caused the
%   first \partialpage to be lost.  The code below includes a counter that is
%   used to determine if the output routine is called a second time.  If it
%   is, the routine ships the previously stored partial page and then creates
%   a new \partialpage.
%
%  Originally, \begincolumns set \vsize = X * \pageheight (it did not
%  take the height of the \partialpage into account).  If the complete text
%  would fit in the full \vsize, the balancing routine would have problems
%  balancing and you'd end up with lots of whitespace on a page and the
%  multiple columns would show up on the next page.  Make sense?  If not,
%  just trust me; it caused problems.
%
%  The solution to the problem was to set
%
%	\vsize = (\pageheight * X) - (\ht\partialpage * X)
%
%  and then set \vsize back to (X*\pageheight) after the first page had been
%  ejected.  This worked fine and dandy except for the fact that grouping was
%  causing the changes to not hold.  The solution (and it is a little
%  dangerous) was to use \global\vsize so that the \vsize changes were never
%  local to the group.  \endcolumns then resets \vsize = \pageheight.
%  Again, trust me; it seems to work OK.

%  File:	QUOTE.TEX
%
%  Author:	Hunter Goatley
%
%  Date:	August 14, 1991
%
%  Abstract:
%
%	This file defines the macros \begindoublequotes and \enddoublequotes,
%	which let TeX replace the double-quote character (") with TeX's
%	left double-quote and right double-quote.  For example:
%
%		"This is a test."     --->    ``This is a test.''
%
%	The double-quote character is still available via \dq.  (\" is still
%	treated as the umlaut accent.)
%
%	This macro makes a couple of assumptions about the double-quotes:
%
%	1.  Double-quotes are assumed to come in pairs.  When replacing
%	    double-quotes, the macro alternates between `` and ''.  The only
%	    exception to this is noted in (2) below.
%	2.  A double-quote at the beginning of a paragraph is always treated
%	    as ``.  This correctly handles the case where a quotation is
%	    continued into a second paragraph:
%
%		"This is the first paragraph.\par
%		"This is the second paragraph of the same quote."
%
%	Normal TeX spacing after `` and '' is maintained by saving and
%	restoring the \spacefactor.
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
%  HOW IT WORKS:
%
%	The double-quote character (") is made active by \begindoublequotes.
%	The " macro keeps track of left-quote/right-quote pairs and inserts
%	the appropriate `` and '' in its place.
%
%	Each character has a \spacefactor associated with it, which specifies
%	the amount of stretch or shrink that a space following the character
%	can have.  Most characters have a factor of 1000, but some punctuation
%	marks have higher spacefactors, most notably the period, which has a
%	\spacefactor of 3000.  This means the space following a period can
%	stretch up to 3 times more than the space after a regular character,
%	accounting for the increased space at the end of sentences.
%
%	The `` and '' ligatures are assigned \spacefactor's of 0, so that the
%	\spacefactor that is applied to the next character is the same as that
%	of the character preceding the quotes.  Because " has been redefined as
%	a macro, any spaces following " are swallowed by TeX.  It was necessary
%	to have this macro re-insert any needed space so that the following
%	cases worked correctly:
%
%		"This is a test," she said. --> ``This is a test,'' she said.
%		"This is in a list"; etc.   --> ``This is in a list''; etc.
%
%	Without the added space, the first example becomes:
%
%		``This is a test,''she said.
%
%	The solution was to save the current \spacefactor before inserting a
%	right double-quote, then resetting the \spacefactor after the
%	insertion.  The net effect was that the " macro has a \spacefactor
%	of 0, which matches the way TeX treats `` and ''.

%                           Header & Footer Macros
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
%  These macros implement the headers and footers for the newsletter format.
%  The macros accept three parameters: text that is to appear flush-left on
%  the line, text that should be centered, and text that should be flush-right
%  on the line.  Parameters can be omitted by specifying empty braces ({}).
%
%  The following macros are defined for headers and footers:
%
%	\evenpageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
%	\oddpageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
%	\evenpagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
%	\oddpagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
%
%  If the headers/footers are the same for even & odd pages, the following
%  macros can be used instead of the four above:
%
%	\pageheader{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
%	\pagefooter{LEFT}{CENTER}{RIGHT}
%
%  Additional header/footer definitions:
%
%	\pageheaderlinetrue		- A line should extend below header text
%	\pageheaderlinefalse		- Header does NOT have a line
%	\pagefooterlinetrue		- A line should extend above footer text
%	\pagefooterlinefalse		- Footer does NOT have a line
%	\headfootrule=Xpt		- Thickness of header/footer lines
%	\pageheaderskip=Xpt		- \vskip between header and line
%	\pagefooterskip=Xpt		- \vskip between footer and line
%	\headfont=\fontname		- Font to use for header text
%	\footfont=\fontname		- Font to use for footer text
%
%  Example:
%
%	\pageheader{}{My Newsletter}{}
%	\pagefooter{October 1989}{}{\pageno}
