**********************************
* *
* Errors in first printing *
* *
**********************************
========== General ===========
* Some source files in the LaTeX2e distribution have got new names,
for example latex.tex -> lt....dtx (many files). The final
distribution is still under construction.
========== Front matter ===========
-* Title Page
Drop IPS, from affiliation of Samarin (just leave ISO)
-* Copyright page
Add second printing
-* Table of Contents, Page xviii
10.5 should read "Packages Based on epic
-* Table of Contents, Page xxi
Page number of Bibliography should be 481
-* Table of Contents, Page xxiii
5.8 A comparison (not A Comparison)
========== Chapter 1 ===========
-* Page 3 last para (SKi)
files containing the structures and layout definitions (extension
.sty) should also include extension .cls
-* Page 4 (JSa)
Add clo to LaTeX layout & structure file extensions
-* Page 5 third par (GGr)
In Textures, the transcript file has no extension.
========== Chapter 2 ===========
-* Page 13 (PHa)
4th bullet item: define your own (not OUR own)
-* Page 15 (JSa)
1994/08/02 should also be 1994/08/01
-* Page 29 (NPo)
fig 2.9: braces round argument `title' and `toc_entry' missing.
(very strange this)
-* Page 37, l.6 below Table (GGr)
Extension .mtc<N> will not work in DOS (Windows).
-* Page 44 (JSa,FMi)
The default for \reftextfaraway was missing.
Also changed the local adaption example to use \RequirePackage
with a reference to Appendix A.
========== Chapter 3 ===========
-* Page 48 (LLa)
The paragraph above the example unfortunately doesn't describe the
example any longer, it describes an old version of it.
-* Page 52 (OBa)
\fuzzy should be \fussy (3 lines above title 3.1.5...)
-* Page 52 (SKi)
The multispace package was written by Stephen (not Stephan) Page.
-* Page 59 (FMi)
The representation of \labelitemiv is missing. This seems to be
a``correction'' of the printer people since the dot is in the
PostScript file!
-* Page 62 (MGo)
More general (and more correct) description of general list
parameters. Especially the relation between the \labelwidth and
\itemindent lengths are made clearer.
-* Page 65 (DCa)
The labels in the Mentry env are aligned on the top of their *boxes*
not on their first baselines. (A buggy \parbox[t] implementation on
the way to LaTeX2e)
-* Page 67 (NPo)
\begin{verbatimtab}[...] instead of \verbatimtab[...] since we
describe an environment
-* Page 70 (FMi)
verbatimwrite is incorrectly mentioned as a command but it is an
environment. Also correct index entry.
-* Page 71 (DCa)
stepping the mpfootnote counter
should be
stepping the footnote counter
========== Chapter 4 ===========
-* Page 86 (FMi)
testpage.tex in LaTeX2e now asks interactively for the paper your
printer uses so there isn't any need to use testa4.tex any longer.
-* Page 94-95 (FMi)
Replace para starting at the bottom with:
The marking commands work reasonably well for right markers ``numbered
within'' left markers (for example, when the left marker is changed by
a \Lcs{chapter} command and the right marker is changed by a
\Lcs{section} command). However, it produces somewhat anomalous
results if a \Lcs{markboth} command is preceded by some other mark
command on the same page---see the page receiving \texttt{L5 R3.2} in
Figure~\vref{fig:pagemarkers}. This figure shows schematically which
left and right markers are generated for pages being shipped out.
-* Page 95 (FMi)
Replace the last four lines in figure 4.3 with the following five
lines:
\markboth{L4}{} {L4}{}
\markboth{L5}{} {L5}{}
\newpage% ----page break ---- L5 R3.2
\markright{R5.1} {L5}{R5.1}
\end{document} L5 R5.1
-* Page 97 (GGr,FMi)
Replace begin of second para with:
Some \LaTeX{} commands, like \Lcs{chapter}, use a \Lcs{thispagestyle}
command to automatically switch to the \Psty{plain} page style, thus
overriding the page style currently in effect. To customize such
pages use the \Pmsty{fancyplain} page style. This page style sets up
\Psty{fancy} for normal pages and in addition ...
-* Page 98 (EPi)
\usestylefile{fancyheadings} (in bottom example)
should be
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
-* Page 99 (EPi)
\usestylefile{fancyheadings} (in figure 4.6)
should be
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
-* Page 99 (FMi)
\samepage is considered obsolete in LaTeX2e and will not be
documented by Leslie Lamport in his book; the relevant paragraph has
been rephrased.
========== Chapter 5 ===========
-* Page 111 (OBa)
"substracting" should be "subtracting" (12th line from top)
-* Page 120 (DKre,FPo)
Bring Example text and table 5.3 in synch
-* Page 121 (DKre,FPo)
Bring Example text and table 5.4 in synch
-* Page 123 (FMi,FPo)
Bring Example text and table 5.5 in synch
-* Page 127 (FPo)
The bottom left figure seems to have a quote before Tsonga
This is a printing artefact.
-* Page 127 (PvO)
Bottom left figure, there is also some spurious ink before
Croatian.
-* Page 128 (FMi)
Lowercase word "comparison" in caption for table 5.8
Also correct lot entry page xxiii.
-* Page 133 (MGo)
In table 5.9 URW is misspelled as URM
-* Page 127 Table 5.7 (FPo)
In the last `page' the code for Tsonga appears as 'ts, with a quote
in front of it. It might be a blob of ink, but it looks very much like
a quote. (It is a blob of extra ink, and this was missed by the
printer, compare p59. FMi:-)
========== Chapter 6 ===========
-* Page 151 (MGo)
Figure 6.2, the vertical lines of the box surrounding the map
are partly invisible (printing problem)
========== Chapter 7 ===========
-* Page 170 l. 9, f.b. (GGr)
Change sentence to: Font metric files (i.e., .tfm files) are loaded
for all intermediate typefaces, even if these fonts are never used.
-* Page 171 caption (GGr)
Change
easy memorable
to
easily memorizable
-* Page 171 (FMi,LLa)
The default for \nocorrlist was changed to
\newcommand{\nocorrlist}{,.}
in the LaTeX distribution because :; do not look right with the
default LaTeX fonts from the Computer Modern families.
-* Page 177 (FMi,LLa)
The example shows that \mathnormal produces italic numbers. This is
only true for the Lucida Math Fonts used in the Companion. Thus, the
following footnote should be added to the expanation:
\footnote{With the default setup of \LaTeXe{} using Computer Modern
math fonts, \Lmcs{mathnormal} will produce old style numerals, not the
italic ones shown in the example, where Lucida is used.}
-* Page 180 in 7.5, l. 3 (GGr)
section B should be Appendix B
-* Page 180 l. 3 f.b. (GGr,FMi)
`Consequentially' should be `Consequently';
in the same sentence change `used' to `uses'.
-* Page 186 l. 8 f.b. (GGr)
Add space before `This'
-* Page 187 last line (GGr)
Captialize: new font selection scheme
-* Page 191 last line
Add: For this to work the encoding OT2 must be declared in the
preamble or a package file.
-* Page 194 (FMi)
\cmdunh10.tfm
should be
cmdunh10.tfm
-* Page 195, 197 (FMi)
Again all .tfm files shouldn't have \ in front of their names
-* Page 201 (MGo)
substract should be subtract on second line explaining \fontdimen4
-* Page 202 (FMi)
For peamble read preamble
-* Page 204 (GGr)
fontdef.tex was renamed to fontdef.ltx in the final distribution
(also correct index entry)
-* Page 205, last para (SMi)
[...], you first have make the typeface [...]
should be
[...], you first have to make the typeface [...]
-* Page 211 (FMi)
Warning message "Check substitution defaults for ..." was changed to
"Checking defaults fo
