Greenwade) Subject: Style option macro for indentation after section heads In TeXhax v.88, n.55, Dale Anderson asks again about the pressing question of how to indent the first paragraph following section heads. Additionally, Dr. Lamport gives some advice as to the design of the LaTeX source for working around the default. This is a style option to indent paragraphs following sections for both the standard report and article document styles. Not extremely elegant, but it gets the job done here. ------cut here------ % Documentstyle option "indsec" % -- usage: \documentstyle[...,indsec,...]{...} % -- last update: April 4, 1988 -- GDG %---Redefine @startsection to always get indentation after section headings. %---NOTE: May use \noindent to over-ride indentation, if desired. % \def\@startsection#1#2#3#4#5#6{\if@noskipsec \leavevmode \fi \par \@tempskipa #4\relax \@afterindenttrue \ifdim \@tempskipa <\z@ \@tempskipa -\@tempskipa \relax\fi \if@nobreak \everypar{}\else \addpenalty{\@secpenalty}\addvspace{\@tempskipa}\fi \@ifstar {\@ssect{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}{\@dblarg{\@sect{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}}}} ------cut again here------ George D.

Is there any way to access the TUGboat programs on the net ?

Here's some items pulled out of the Metafont stuff around here. One is a mode_def for a TI Omnilaser, a printer with a severe case of the write-white disease. I don't claim that the parameters have any sort of validity, but they *do* make the output more acceptable. I cooked this up empirically about a year ago. mode_def ti_omnilaser = % TI 2115 postscript printer proofing:=0; % no, we're not making proofs fontmaking:=1; % yes, we are making a font tracingtitles:=0; % no, don't show titles in the log pixels_per_inch:=300; % 300dpi blacker:=.75; % needs some darkening up fillin:=-3.0; % doesn't fill in diagonals o_correction:=.6; % ??? who knows ???? enddef; Also, there was something posted by Charles LaBrec to TeXHax which had specific information about the LN03.

In the example below I force the figure the start at the top of the next page, there is now white space that occurs on the first page. I would like LaTeX to always flush footnotes to the bottom of the page, instead of putting the footnote right after the text. Has anyone successfully changed this. The output routine for TeX seems to do what I want, but I can not find the appropriate change to do the same in LaTeX. I have been looking at the ouput routines for LaTeX, but am taking the advice about the warning on page 204 of the LaTeX manual regarding \output parameter changes. Here is the example I am using to try to get the footnote on the first page to be at the bottom.

According to the LaTeX book, \begin{titlepage}...\end{titlepage} "produces a title page with the empty page style" (page 164), and \footnotetext "produces a footnote, just like the corresponding \footnote command, except that no footnote mark is generated" (page 156). However, I am getting a titlepage numbered 0 and a footnote numbered 0 using the following LaTeX file: First of all, no "footnote mark" is being generated, the footnote mark being the little number that goes in the text alerting the reader to the presence of the footnote. The footnote is being numbered, just as it should be. To remove the footnote number, you might try playing with \thefootnote. It is true that a number is being generated on the titlepage. The problem is that, while the titlepage environment sets \thispagestyle{empty}, the \maketitle command sets \thispagestyle{plain}. If he wants to use the \maketitle command and have a separate title page, he should use the titlepage style option. If he wants to use the titlepage environment, he should format the page himself and not use the \maketitle command. Leslie Lamport ------------------------------ Subject: LaTeX version of tgrind.

Hi all, We have recently bought an LCG01 colour inktjet printer. Now we are wondering if it would be possible to use it as an output device for (colour)slides generated with SLiTeX. The first thought that occured to me was trying to adapt a sixel based DVI-driver like John Sauter's DVIL3P for the LCG01. (John, what do you think about that?) I don't know (yet) if it is even remotely possible to this but if anyone tried before I surely would like to hear his (/her) comments on this topic. If I get replies I will summarize for the list, if I don't and find the time to look into this I will report my experiences.

So in our case it thinks the largest font existing is font.999PK. Now if you use SLiTeX and for instance \Large you get a font loaded that's called Lcmss8.1075PK. DVItoVDU looks for for Lcmss8.999PK (plus and minus 1) and tells us it can't find Lcmss8.998PK and will use the dummy font. DVI2LN3 has got no problems with it so the file comes out right on our LN03+. The problem is that I am not familiar with MODULA and don't know where to reach Andrew Trevorrow on the net. So if someone knows where to find him could he please forward this mesage? (unless he reads TeXhax himself ofcourse). The problem is not that big that we can't live with it but it would be nice to have it fixed.
