%%% LaTeX bug report generator.
%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%
%%% Processing this file with LaTeX should produce
%%% a file latexbug.msg in the current directory.
%%%
%%% latexbug.msg may be used as a template for submitting bug
%%% reports concerning files in the standard LaTeX distribution.
%%%
%%% Any bug report should include a small LaTeX test file
%%% that shows the bug, and the log that LaTeX produces on the
%%% test file.
%%%
%%% Please check before submitting a bug report that your format
%%% is not more than one year old. New LaTeX releases occur at
%%% 6 monthly intervals, and so your bug may be fixed in a later
%%% release.
%%%
%%% Completed bug report forms should be submitted to:
%%% latex-bugs@uni-mainz.de
%%%
%%% Please:
%%% use the synopsis text as the `Subject' line of the message.
%%% ===========================================================
%%%
%%% For example:
%%% Subject: \verb does not work inside \caption
%%%
%%% So that your message has an identifying subject.
%%% Do not use subject lines such as `LaTeX bug' as this does not
%%% help us to identify your message.
%%%
%%%
%%% Configuring latexbug
%%% ====================
%%% If you often test early release of LaTeX packages, and feel that
%%% you may need to use this program often, you may create a file
%%% latexbug.cfg
%%% This should contains the answers of certain standard questions.
%%% (Such as your name and email address.)
%%%
%%% Currently the responses that may be stored in latexbug.cfg are:
%%% name address organisation and interactive.
%%% (If organisation is not set in the .cfg file latexbug does not
%%% prompt for it, as this is not vital information.)
%%%
%%% For example, my personal latexbug.cfg looks like
%%%
%%% \def\name{David Carlisle}
%%% \def\address{carlisle@cs.man.ac.uk}
%%% \def\organisation{Manchester University}
%%% \def\interactive{y}
%%%
%%% A site latexbug.cfg might just set the \organisation, leaving
%%% the personal details to be filled in interactively by the user.
%%%
