- * Errors in second printing *
- * *
- ***********************************
-
-
- ========== General ==============
-
- -* Page i, last line (KSe)
- Replace "Signapore" with "Singapore"
-
- ========== Front matter ===========
-
- ========== Chapter 1 ==============
-
- -* Page 2, 3rd paragraph (FMi)
- Replace "in the public domain" with "free of charge"
- as TeX is copyrighted by Donald E. Knuth and *NOT* public domain.
-
- -* Page 2, 4th paragraph (UVi)
- In the book title `TeX and METAFONT ...', the METAFONT logo should
- be in italic.
-
- -* Page 7, last line (MGo)
- "International Standards Organization" should be
- "International Organization for Standardization".
-
- ========== Chapter 2 ==============
-
- -* Page 14, l. 8 (CKr)
- Add missing "be": it will be assumed to the
-
- -* Page 14 (FMi)
- Replace last para with:
- Finally, when the \LBEG{document} is reached, all global options are
- checked to see whether each of them has been used by any package; if
- not, you will get a warning message. It is usually a spelling mistake
- if your option name is never used; another possibility is the removal
- of a \Lmcs{usepackage} command loading a package that used this
- option.
-
- -* Page 17. (JSa)
- Last sentence of 2.1.2 is unclear.
- MGo: Replace with:
- If a document is too large to process in a single run,
- it can be sub-divided into sub-parts that can be run separately.
- However, in this case, they must be processed
- \emph{in the correct sequence} to ensure that the
- cross-references and page numbers are correct.
-
- -* Page 18, second para (FMi)
- In the front matter the so-called \emph{starred form} of the
- sectioning commands is normally used.
-
- -* Page 23, the footnote (UVi)
- there is a spurious space between TeX and book.
-
- -* Page 31, Table 2.3 (GSa)
- \refname (default References) should appear in the table
-
- -* Page 35, (FMi)
- Explanation of \addtocontents and addcontentsline arguments:
- file argument contains toc lof or lot (eg without . in front)!
-
- -* Page 37, l.6 below Table (FMi)
- A new version of the package now supports ``short'' extensions for
- use in operating systems like DOS.
-
- -* Page 41 (FMi)
- Remove the \label{before} in the example since it does not serve
- any purpose.
-
- -* Page 41 (JSa)
- Last paragraph starting with ``\vref will produce a \ref only
- when...'' is ambiguous or misleading.
- MGo: Replace with:
- The command \Lmcs{vref} is like \Lmcs{ref} when reference and
- \Lmcs{label} are on the same page. If label and reference differ by
- one, \Lmcs{vref} creates one of the strings: ``on the facing page,''
- ``on the preceding page,'' or ``on the following page''; the word
- ``facing'' is used when label and reference both fall onto a double
- spread. When the difference is larger than one page, \Lmcs{vref}
- produces both \Lcs{ref} and \Lcs{pageref}.
-
- -* Page 42 footnote (FMi)
- flafter is a package not an option!
-
- -* Page 43 before: Language Support (FMi,JAd)
- Add: If the space added by \vpageref turns out to be wrong, as in
- (\vpageref[here]{ex:foo})
- use the variant with two optional arguments and put all text up to
- the preceding blank (in this case just the open parentheses) into both
- optional arguments, ie
- \vpageref[(here][(]{ex:foo})
-
-
- ========== Chapter 3 ==============
-
- -* Page 48, third para (FMi)
- Add the following sentence: Note, that accented characters have to be
- surrounded by braces like this: \verb={\"a}=.
-
- -* Page 50, first para (FMi)
- Remove this sentence "They are optional features ..." since
- the new version of ulem activates them automatically.
-
- -* Page 50, example (RBa)
- Replace: "The \USA has 50 states." with "\GB was unified in 1707."
-
- -* Page 61, first example (FMi)
- Finish line with a percent:
- \setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}}%
-
- -* Page 64, last l. (FMi)
- Replace: "(forcing a new line)" by
- "followed by a forced line break"
-
- -* Page 68 (PvO)
- \verbatiminput should be \verbatimtabinput (in the box)
-
- -* Page 69 (PvO)
- \begin{listing}: I find that confusing, although I guess it is just
- the way the package works. The problem is that the required
- argument is NOT the first number that you see, but the first number
- you see = req.arg+opt.arg-1. Maybe the description can include a
- warning about this.
- MGo proposes the following text:
- An optional argument \Larg{step} specifies
- the step between numbered lines (its default value is 1,
- and it corresponds to all lines being numbered), while
- the required argument \Larg{firstline}
- is the number of the first line.
- If \Larg{step} is different from ``\Lit{1},'' then the first number
- shown will be ``\Larg{step}$+$\Larg{firstline}$-1$,'' for instance
- if the \Lmenv{listing} environment is invoked by the command
- \verb!\begin{listing}[2]{3}!, each second line
- will be numbered, starting with the number $2+3-1$, \ie $4$.
-
- -* Page 71, figure 3.7 (PvO)
- \skip\footins is missing in the figure
-
- -* Page 74, l.11 (FMi)
- Replace "may not match" by "will not match"
-
- -* Page 75, 2 para (FMi)
- Replace "accumulated in memory" by "accumulated in the external file"
-
- -* Page 75, 3 para (FMi)
- Drop "in memory" since the text is stored externally.
-
- -* Page 80, last two paras from 3.5.5 (FMi)
- Since ftnright.sty is now updated for LaTeX2e the last two paragraphs
- can be dropped.
-
- -* Page 82, 2nd paragraph after boxed \excludeversion (MGo)
- "\Larg{tag} is a name..." should read "\Larg{tagname} is a name..."
-
- ========== Chapter 4 ==============
-
- -* Page 89, l 6 (FMi)
- the vpage.sty package is now available under a new name with extended
- functionality: vmargin.sty
-
- -* Page 89, l. 10 (FMi)
- portrait and landscape should be in typewriter font since they are actual
- keywords for the optional "orient" argument of \setpapersize
-
- -* Page 92 l. 1 (FMi)
- The first three are used ...
-
- -* Page 92 para 4, l. 4 (CKr)
- replace: "styles is concerned" with "styles are concerned"
-
- -* Page 93 last line (FMi)
- ... the commands \chaptermark, \sectionmark, and so on.
- FMi adds:
- These commands are executed automatically by the corresponding
- heading commands. They have one argument in which they receive the
- heading text or its short form from the optional argument of the
- heading command.
-
- -* Page 95 l. 9 (FMi)
- Replace: by defining the commands \markboth ...
- by: by using the commands \mathboth ...
-
- -* Page 97 1th para (FMi)
- Replace last sentence with:
- Note that in this case the length \headheight and perhaps
- \footskip might have to be increased.
-
-
- ========== Chapter 5 ==============
-
- -* Page 103, 2nd line of 4th para (FMi)
- replace "previous tabstop" with "following tabstop"
-
- -* Page 104 (JPe)
- The example actually shows an ALGOL68 program (not a Pascal one)
-
- -* Page 106 (TMa,FMi)
- Last line before footnote, in the > command:
- The 4th `{' should be a `}'
-
- -* Page 106, footnote (FMi)
- ... in case of p, m, or b, the ...
-
- -* Page 108 (WLe)
- Replace first sentence with:
- When you have a narrow column, you must not only make sure that the
- first word can be hyphenated (see page~\pageref{sec:allowhyphenation})
- but consider that short texts are easier to typeset in ragged right
- mode (without being aligned at the right margin).
-
- -* Page 108 l. 5 (FMi)
- Replace "environment" by "command"
-
- -* Page 108 example (FGo)

-
- -* Page 115 example (FGo)
- Replace "superconciousness" by "superconsciousness"
-
- -* Page 116 l. 3 bottom (FMi)
- Replace: "`c' columns" by "`c', `r', or `l' columns"
-
- -* Page 120 following (FPo)
- Shouldn't Table 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.7 (and perhaps others) better be
- Figures, like a lot of other examples presenting tabulated LaTeX output?
- MGo: I have renamed all example "tables", namely 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5,
- and 5.7 into figures
-
- -* Page 122 (FMi)
- It could be helpful to explicitly mention that one shouldn't use \nofiles
- together with longable since longtable needs to write to the aux file.
- It would be even better if longtable would dectect this problem.
- MGo added footnote:
- This means that the \Lcs{nofiles} command, that suppresses
- writing of all but the \Lfn{dvi} and \Lfn{log} files,
- should not be used together with the \Lmpack{longtable} package.}
-
- -* Page 128 (FMi)
- Replace:
- \LTchunksize (20) Number of rows per chunk (TeX counter)
- with
- LTchunksize (20) Number of rows per chunk (LaTeX counter)
- Both is correct but why mention the TeX version?
-
- -* Page 129, text l.4 bottom (FMi)
- Replace: "output file" by "output"
-
- -* Page 133, 1st l. of 5.6.3
- Replace: "in narrow" with "between narrow"
-
- -* Page 135 (MGo) first para of multirow section
- The author of the multirow package is no longer unknown; it is
- Jerry Leichter.
-
- -* Page 137 (FMi)
- \firsthline and \lasthline will be part of array.sty with the next
- release.
-
- ========== Chapter 6 ==============
-
- -* Page 143, l8 from bottom (MOh)
- It should read "you can prevent" instead of "you can prevents"
-
- -* Page 144, example (UJa)
- Better use \renewcommand, since new command is only correct if you
- design a class file from scratch.
-
- -* Page 145 l.11 (TMa)
- `ignoreed' should be `ignored'
-
- -* Page 148 (WLe)
- Fig 6.1: The left and right sides do not correspond in detail
-
- -* Page 153, para 2, l.3 (KCr)
- Replace: (defined by default as (\alph{subfigure})\space}
- with: , defined by default as (\alph{subfigure})\space,
-
- -* Page 155, \@makecaption and \@isucaption example (JvM,FMi)
- In both cases is a closing brace missing:
- \ifthenelse{\lengthtest{\wd\tempbox > \linewidth}}%
- %%% ^ closing brace
-
- ========== Chapter 7 ==============
-
- -* Page 164 Figure 7.6 (TMa)
- The 10pt font is actually Lucida Bright and the magnified
- one Computer Modern 5 pt, so it whould be better to use CMR twice
-
- -* Page 167 (PAp)
- If you used ... should read: If you use ...
-
- * Page 174 third para (UVi)
- Computer Modern Typewriter has not even bold extended series only
- medium.
-
- -* Page 174 fourth para (CMi)
- Replace by:
- An example in which some default values are changed can be found in
- the chapter about PostScript (section 11.9.6 on page 339).
-
- -* Page 182 (FJe)
- Table 7.6 is incomplete. Nowadays there is the following set of fonts
- available from labrea.stanford.edu:
- Concrete Roman medium: ccr5 ccr6 ccr7 ccr8 ccr9 ccr10
- Concrete Roman medium italic: ccti10
- Concrete Roman medium slanted: ccsl9 ccsl10
- Concrete Roman medium caps and small caps: cccsc10
- Concrete Roman condensed slanted: ccslc9
- Concrete Math medium italic: ccmi10
- Concrete Math condensed italic: ccmic9
-
- -* Page 182 (WLe)
- Table 7.7: Examples of Pandora fonts are incorrect:
- Pandora Roman bold is typeset in (again) Pandora Roman medium
- Pandora Sans is typeset in Pandora Roman slanted
- Pandora Sans bold is typeset in Pandora Roman bold
-
- * Page 184 (FMi)
- The packages euscript and eufrak have been moved into the amsfonts
- distribution. euscript is now considered obsolete (but available)
- and the following is provided:
-
- \usepackage{eufrak} defines \mathfrak (and \EuFrak for compatibility)
- \usepackage{eucal} or
- \usepackage[mathcal]{eucal} changes \mathcal to use euler script fonts
- \usepackage[mathscr]{eucal} defines \mathscr to use euler script fonts
- and leaves \mathcal alone
- \usepackage{euscript} defines \EuScript (considered obsolete)
-
- * Page 185, l.4 (CMi)
- Replace chose by choose
-
- * Page 196, second para from bottom (CMi)
- Since a size function can have both an optional and a mandatory argument
- this para should speak about arguments in plural (two occasions)
-
- * Page 200, l 8. (FMi)
- ... with a font family as a whole.
-
- * Page 203 (FMi)
- The starting letters T, O, M, and S are reserved for standard encodings
- ^^^^^
- * Page 206, top (FMi)
- Replace the sentence: In fact, only the \DeclareFontEncoding ....
- by: If the encoding of the font is unknown to NFSS it must be first
- declared with \DeclareFontEncoding in the package file. The
- other two declaration can, in fact, alternatively be placed
- into a .fd file.
-
- * Page 208, l.6 (CMi)
- Replace: "you can define them" by "you can define it"
- since the math alphabet and not the letters are defined.
-
- * Page 209 (FMi)
- The following declaration is also part of the default setup:
- \SetSymbolFont{symbols}{bold}{OMS}{cmsy}{b}{n}
-
- * Page 211 (FMi)
- In explanation for "Checking defaults for <cdp>/<font shape>
- replace \DeclareFontEncoding by \DeclareFontSubstitution.
-
- ========== Chapter 8 ==============
-
- -* Page 214 (FMi)
- Remove second reference to Graetzer's book ([95]).
-
- -* Page 217 (GSa)
- Note that the Companion uses Lucida math fonts which contain the
- standard LaTeX and AmS symbols but with different shapes compared
- to the Computer Modern math fonts.
-
- * Page 218 (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- \Bbb, \frak are OBSOLETE. Use \mathbb, \mathfrak.
-
- * Page 219 table 8.5 (JPe)
- Put a comma between \leq and \le.
- Also show that the "greater equal sign" can be produced by \geq and \ge.
-
- * Page 224 (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- \accentedsymbol was moved to package amsxtra.
-
- * Page 225 (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- All supercripted accents \sphat, etc. were moved to package amsxtra.
-
- * Page 228 (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- \operatornamewithlimits is OBSOLETE: new name is \operatorname*.
-
- * Page 229 (FMi)
- We should add a line with \bmod to the first example.
-
- * Page 229 (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- \fracwithdelims was moved to package amsxtra.
-
- * Page 230 (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- \lcfrac, \rcfrac are OBSOLETE. New syntax is \cfrac{...}{...} or
- \cfrac[l]{...}{...} to get left-positioned numerators or \cfrac[r]...
-
- * Page ??? (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- New subequations environment, for example
- \begin{subequations}{a}
- ...
- \end{subequations}
- causes all numbered equation environments within that scope to be
- numbered (4.9a) (4.9b) (4.9c) etc. if the preceding numbered
- equation was 4.8. The argument can be a,A,i,I,1,f for the standard
- LaTeX numbering types: \alph, \Alph, \roman, \Roman, \arabic,
- \fnsymbol. A \label command immediately after
- \begin{subequations}{...} will produce a \ref of the parent number
- "4.9", not "4.9a". The counters used by the subequations environment
- are `parentequation' and `equation' and standard uses of
- \addtocounter, \setcounter, etc. are possible with those counter
- names.
-
- -* Page 236, l.2 bottom (FMi)
- Start a new sentence at: Each one is ...
-
- -* Page 241 (FMi)
- Say that righttag is an option to the amstex package.
-
- * Page 241 (FMi)
- The errata above is probably already obsolete again, option is now
- reqno/leqno and default isn't any longer on the left.
-
- -* Page 243 (GGr,FMi)
- To the entries for amscd and amssymb add:
- This package is not automatically included by the amstex package.
-
- * Page 243 (FMi)
- In amslatex release 1.2:
- New packages have been added:
- amsxtra for seldom used commands
- amsthm theorem code for classes
- amsintsm special integral syntax
- New options have been added to classes:
- 8pt,9pt sizes
- fleqn is now supported
- nomath don't load amstex package
- New options to amstex package:
- psamsfonts (also amsfonts package)
- load different .fd file set for PostScript
- Type 1 versions of amsfonts
- intlimits/nointlimits put (no) limits on \int signs
- sumlimits/nosumlimits put (no) limits on \sum signs
- namelimits/nonamelimits put (no) limits on operator names
- leqno/reqno tags on the left (right)
- centertags/tbtags tags centered on split
-
- -* Page 250 (TMa)
- Just before Section 8.7.6: `align*' should be `align'
- like it says in the text.
-
- * Page 256 (FMi)
- Since amstex 1.2 will place the formula number now by default to the
- right the last paragraph needs correction.
-
- -* Page 256 (FMi)
- Replace: All these parameters are expressed as lengths ...
- with: All these are length parameters ...
-
- ========== Chapter 9 ==============
-
- -* Page 260 (RPo)
- A truly international TeX also need support for different
- typesetting directions, ie TeX-XeT.
-
- -* Page 261 (FMi)
- "to the 256-bit DC-font glyphs" should better read:
- "to the 256 glyphs of a DC-font"
-
- -* Page 264 (WLe)
- Bottom of page: The example at the end "Drucker bzw. Druk-ker" etc.
- are not very useful, since they don't show the commands.
-
- -* Page 264 (PvO)
- The footnote text is confusing (I have to read it twice to
- understand). I suggest that it says: Note that the original package
- is incompatible..
-
- -* Page 265 (FMi)
- \adddialect{dialect-name}{language}
-
- -* Page 267, table 9.2 (JBr)
- Macro \alsoseename is actually called \alsoname in BABEL
-
- -* Page 267, table 9.2 (RdB)
- Macro \headpagename is actually called \pagename in BABEL
-
- * Page 270 (FMi)
- My version of epsfig doesn't support textures with eps files,
- so i guess that example is not correct (but i may not have latest
- graphics)
-
- -* Page 270, caption (FMi)
- Example using babel's option french (output on the facing page)
-
- -* Page 273 (JPe)
- The , after \begin{order} should be replaced by a blank
-
- -* Page 274, l. 6 (FMi)
- Replace: ...associated with their names
- by: ...associated with them
-
- ========== Chapter 10 =============
-
- -* Page 275, footnote (FMi)
- Remove the colon in the citation text.
-
- -Page 275, 1st para(FMi)
- Add a footnote like this:
- In certain situations it is possible for the \special command to
- change the formatting because it can produce an additional break point
- and it might prevent LaTeX from noticing spaces.
-
- -* Page 277 (PvO)
- Better use \setlength{\sdim}{1.5\sboxsep}.
- Also show in the example that you don't use the default of 10pt.
-
- -* Page 277 (FMi)
- In the first printing we used some modified version of the shadow
- package (with unofficial names). In the second printing we somehow
- got it wrong again (the last shadow box is suposed to have a
- larger shadow), sigh. it Should read:
- \setlength{\sdim}{3\fboxsep}
- in the example.
-
- -* Page 278, description of \ovalbox (FMi)
- Replace with:
- The width of the frame is defined by the \Lcs{thinlines} command. The
- diameter of the corner arcs is set with a \Lmcs{cornersize} command.
- The form \Lmcs{cornersize}\Largb{num} sets the diameter to \Larg{num}
- $\times$ minimum(width of box, height of box); the form
- \Lmcs{cornersize*}\Largb{len} sets the diameter to \Larg{len}. The
- default is \Lmcs{cornersize}\verb={0.5}=.
-
- -* Page 282 (FMi)
- In the syntax box for \root(x-.... show the space after the )
- better explicitly. It is needed!
-
- -* Page 293 (MGo) Start of 3rd para of section 10.2.7: clarification
- A set of electronic circuit symbols developed by
- \Author{Adrian Johnstone} is available (on CTAN) as part of his
- \texttt{lcircuit} system to be used with the \TeX{}cad program
- (see figure~\vref{fig:lcircuit}).
-
- -* Page 294, bottom (JPe)
- Logically item 3 + 4 needs exchanging
-
- -* Page 295, l. 2 (FMi)
- Replace: "shortest line" by "shortest available line"
-
- -* Page 296, l. 6 (FMi)
- Replace: than the equivalent "$n_1$" \multiput statements,
- with: than multiple \multiput statements.
-
- -* Page 306, l. 3 bottom (FMi)
- Replace: for subsequent \draw commands
- by: for subsequent \match commands
-
- -* Page 307, def. of \drawwith (FMi)
- Argument should be named "draw-command" since it can contain only
- a single command
-
- ========== Chapter 11 =============
-
- -* Page 316, table 11.1 (FMi)
- Mention -pp\# (single page) and -pp\#$_1$:\#$_2$ (page range).
-
- -* Page 318 (FMi)
- Remove the double quotes around clip= and the quotes around = in
- the explanation of the clip parameter.
-
- -* Page 321 (FPo)
- The caption for figure 11.4 could use some negative space between
- "Pre-" and "1991".
-
- -* Page 321, code for figure 11-x (VSc)
- The nineth line should be unindented:
- 6 \begin{minipage}
- 7 \centering\epsfig
- 8 \caption{Central
- 9 ...\end{minipage}
-
- -* Page 321 (RSt)
- Perhaps we should learn about history better: make the caption
- of figure 11.4: Pre-1990 Europe
-
- -* Page 321 (PKr)
- It would be better to show that the example is coded as a figure by
- surrounding the code with \begin{figure} ... \end{figure}.
-
- -* Page 328, description of \cbstart (MOh)
- ...the beginning of the region, which has to be flagged...
- ^no comma needed here
-
- -* Page 331 (BBe)
- first figure using \psboxit, the dashes formed by
- ...--%
- -- ...
- segment into an emdash and a hyphen; just a tad peculiar looking.
-
- -* Page 335, last line of 11.9.2 (CMi)
- Replace Symbols by Symbol since that is the name of the font.
-
- -* Page 335, last line of 11.9.2 (FMi)
- Remove forward reference since it is to the next(!) section.
-
- -* Page 337 (FMi)
- Replace "Style" by "Package" in heading.
-
- -* Page 338 (WLe)
- Greek example, why not better use ... ALFA\quad ...
-
- -* Page 340, l -3 in 11.9.7 (FMi)
- use plural:
- ... typesetting your complete document with these font families.
-
- ========== Chapter 12 =============
-
- -* Page 350, first examples (FMi)
- The last line of the first examples should read
- \index{tabbing|)textit}
- otherwise MakeIndex would complain about it.
-
- -* Page 350, l. 4 from bottom (FMi)
- Replace {\it rose} with \textit{rose}. Not wrong but better.

- Replace:
- For example, you can define the command \Index, whose argument enters

-
- -* Page 353-354 (FMi,MGo)
- The figures shown in the makeindex processing example are not
- reflecting what is in the source on p354 (one index entry was dropped
- there).
- Correction: Add in section "Preparing the Index" an index
- entry \index{include index} as follows:
- \texttt{idx} file has to be transformed by an external
- program, like \Prog{makeindex}.\index{include index}
-
- -* Page 354 (PvO)
- The example should show a \makeindex command.
-
- * Page 354 (FMi)
- The lefthand side of the example should use the verbatim environment
- not the verbatimcmd environment which is only defined when the moreverb
- package is used. Also the example should show
- \renewenvironment{theindex}{..}{..}
-
- -* Page 354 (FMi)
- The right hand side shows an index entry "include index" which
- isn't any longer in the source :-(
-
- -* Page 355 (FMi)
- It should say (in one line):
- makeindex [-ciglqr]
- [-o \Larg{ind}] [-p \Larg{no}] [-s \Larg{sty}] [-t \Larg{log}]
- [\Larg{idx0} \Larg{idx1} ...]
- with \Larg giving italics indicating variable names
-
- * Page 355 description of -g (FMi)
- Not an error in the book but in the program: work correctly only in
- version 2.13 of Makeindex (2.12 dies with larger files).
-
- -* Page 355 (PvO)
- It should say:
- -o \emph{ind} Take the file \emph{ind} as the output index file.
-
- -* Page 355 description of -p no(FMi)
- "no" should always be in italics not typewriter.
- the words "any", "odd", and "even" should be always in typewriter.

- It should say:
- -s \emph{sty} Take the file \emph{sty} as the index style file.

- -t \emph{log} Use \emph{log} as the transcript file.
-
- -* Page 356 (FMi)
- It should say:
- Extra `@' at position ...
-
- -* Page 357 Inconsistent page ...(FMi)
- Replace: \index{cat|iv} by: \index{cat|see{animals}}
-
-
- -* Page 358 (PvO)
- The description of escape is very confusing.
- (FMi:) agreed, what about (FMi, MGo):
- quote symbol that escapes the character following it.
- escape symbol without special meaning unless followed by
- the quote character in which case that character
- looses its special function and both will be printed.
-
- -* Page 358 (FMi)
- Replace
- (s) signals an attribute of type string, (c) of type char
- with
- (s) attribute of type string, (c) of type char (surround with single or
- double quotes, respectively)
-
- -* Page 358, end of first para (FMi)
- Add: Makeindex uses UNIX string syntax in the style file. For this
- reason one has to enter \\ to get a single \ in the output.
-
- * Page 359 (PvO)
- Description of delim_t is missing.
-
- -* Page 359, delim_0 (FMi)
- Replace: entry-page number delimiter at level 0
- by: delimiter between entry and first page number at level 0
- (because the original is not understandable)
-
- -* Page 359, encap_suffix (FMi)
- Remove surplus dot in default: "}"
-
- -* Page 359 (SMi)
- In Makeindex 2.12 and higher up
- page_precedence(s) is "rnaRA"
- Therefore the examples on page 363 should be the other way around.
-
- * Page 364 (RWo)
- Remind the reader how to use a file not ending with .idx with
- Makeindex.
-
- -* Page 364+365 (FMi)
- The redefinition of theindex environment should set \parindent to zero
- otherwise one ends up with all entries except the first being indented.
-
- -* Page 365 (WLe)
- According to the text on page 365, The index in the example should
- have three columns instead of two.
- FMi: change this sentence to something like this:
- ... we have used a redefined theindex environment similar to the one
- shown in section 12.5 but with two columns and without the \newpage.
-
- -* Page 366 fig 12.8 (FMi)
- This looks like the "spot the ten differences pictures:
- Replace: \renewcommand[2]{\printindex}{%
- by : the correct order of arguments :-(
- Add a \ in front of textbf in definition of \printindex
- Add a proper definition of \Prog and \Com, they are not the same
- as in fig 12.8.
- Outline that \renewenvironment{theindex}{...}{...}
- Indent \input{#1.ind} (this is cosmetics)
- and don't use \begin{center} use \section* (cosmetics too)
-
- -* Page 367 item 5 (FMi)

- ========== Chapter 13 =============
-
- -* Page 373 l. -2 (FMi)
- Replace sentence (was not correct) with:
- The punctuation characters (.,;:) will be moved in front of the
- superscript which might be incorrect in case the \Lcs{cite}
- immediately follows a quotation, e.g.,
- \verb=``The \TeX book''\cite{Knuth}.=
- gives ``The \TeX book''.$^5$
-
-
- * Page 378 (UVi)
- The table of .bst files list some styles named phxxx.bst, where xxx
- stands for abbreviations like aip, nf, pf, ppcf etc. On CTAN these
- styles are now located in a subdirectory phy-bstyles and they no
- longer carry the prefix ph in their name. It would be a good idea
- to update this in the Companion, because otherwise people looking
- for the names with the famous 'quote site index' might not find
- them. (MGo: in fact they are there onder both names)
- Comment (FMi): I'm right now reluctant to change anything since i wonder
- whether those names will stay. It seems wrong to me that the names
- (prefix) have changed.
-
- * Page 378 (UVi)
- (ph)ppcf.bst is described as ``a physics version of the apalike
- BibTeX style''. This might be true somehow, but a better
- describtion would be ``BibTeX style for Plasma Physics and
- Controlled Fusion'', since that is the name of the journal the
- abbreviation ppcf stands for (see physjabb).
- (ph)report.bst is described as ``BibTeX style for internal
- reports''. It might be a good idea to add some hint that this
- probably refers to the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab or Princeton
- University.
- (MGo: Perhaps in a future edition).
-
- -* Page 385, line 7 (PvO)
- "only works without modifications on UNIX" is probably a bit too
- harsh: It is meant that modifications are necessary for systems
- such as MS-DOS that have file names with strict length limits.
- By the way should UNIX not be typeset with small capitals?
- MGo: No, ATT (and most publishers) spell it all uppercase.
-
- -* Page 386 l.3 of 13.3.2 (FMi)
- Replace "style" by "package".
-
- -* Page 387 l.1 (FMi)
- The root file should be called chapterbibexa.tex (as in the

-
- -* Page 388, caption (RSt)
- For "advisable precedure" read "advisable procedure".
-
- -* Page 392, 4th para (CMi)
- The argument of the \bibliography command must ...

- Add: ... after the BibTeX run unless the bibliography entries
- themselves contain citations to other entries
- (eg note = {reviewed in \cite{..}}).
-
- -* Page 393, bibextract (FMi)
- the regular expression must (!) contain only lowercase chars (even
- when looking for words like "Adobe") otherwise nothing will be found.
- Thus our examples should read:

- bibextract "author|organisation" "adobe" bibfile(s) > new-bibfile
-
- -* Page 393, bibextract (FMi)
- Another restriction:
- one might have to clean the .bib files using
- bibclean before bibextract finds correct entries.
-
- -* Page 393, l. 6. bottom (FMi)
- while the next command will only extract those entries containing
- Adobe in the author or organization field.

- Add \Finale to the box with \StopEventually{final text} since they
- belong together.
-
- -* Page 426, figure 14.1 (FMi)
- It should be \DocInput{docexam.doc} because .dtx is reserved for

- through LaTeX.
-
- -* Page 426, line 4 of section 14.2.7. (PAp)
- You should run the file thought ...
- should read:
- You should run the file through ...
-
- -* Page 427, figure 14.2 (FMi)
- The \item in the definition of "docsampleenv" should be removed.
- Also: the documentation of "docsampleenv" is incorrect.
-
- -* Page 429 (FMi)
- Replace the heading: Document structure and validation support
- by: Document structure commands
-
- -* Page 433, 6 para (FMi)
- Not only NFSS2 but the whole LaTeX (2e) is now distributed using
- the doc system.
-
- * Page 433, Section 14.3.1 (Msc,FMi)
- Mention that \preamble ...\endpreamble is meant for straight text and
- that nearly no command will work between. One can use \string\foo to
- put out a command name literally.
-
- -* Page 434, l. 10 (FMi)
- Replace: \batchfile Batch file commands can be ...
- with: Batch file commands, like \generateFile, can be ...
-
- -* Page 434, l. -9 (FMi)
- Replace the sentence: Note that these tags must ...
- By: The tags must be placed at the beginning of the line
- preceded by a %, e.g.,
-
- -* Page 437+438 (ASc)
- In the second last code line the \@@end should be replaced by
- \csname @@end\endcsname since otherwise \@@end isn't recognised
- in most situations. This also means that the checksum changes to 15.
-
- ========== Appendix A =============
-
- -* Page 440, second example (FMi)
- It should better be: \newcommand{\PsI}{\Ps\index{PostScript}}
-
- -* Page 440 (RWo)
- Use the same formula in the last two examples to show the advantage
- of \ensuremath better.
-
- -* Page 476 (FMi)
- Add to the description of \newcounter:
- It also defines \thenewctr to be \arabic{newctr}.
-
- -* Page 447 (MSc)
- A counter can't be larger than 9 if used with \fnsymbol.
-
- -* Page 477 (FMi)
- All the \the... commands in the examples should be defined with
- \renewcommand.
-
- -* Page 450, table A.2 (FMi)
- \hfill is better described as a "rubber space" not a rubber length.
-
- * Page 456, last para (FMi)
- Replace: "In the case below" by "In the next case" since the next
- example is on the following page.
-
- -* Page 459 (FMi)
- Add "x333x" after \usebox{\myboxb} in the example (just cosmetics).

- For \Requirepackage read \RequirePackage in the explanation of
- \LoadClass.

- Replace "(real or integer)" by "integer". They can't be real!
-
- -* Page 470 following (CRo)
- In the description of the ifthen package, no clear distinction is
- made between those commands which can be used only in a
- {test}-argument, and those which are for other uses.
-
- -* Page 472 (RWo)
- The index entries in the .idx file would actually look like this

- * Page 491 (RWo)
- The name is Peter Vollenweider; somebody inverted the `w'---mea culpa.
-
- ========== Index ==================
-
- (BBe)
- i was a little surprised to find the listing for "tex users group"
- where one would expect to find "tug" in the index, although "tug"
- doesn't appear in the entry. i also would have expected to see
- p.260 listed with that entry, considering the reference there to
- the twgmlc and the portland meeting.
-
- the people who were acknowledged in the preface don't show up in
- the index. although it's not necessary, of course, knuth did
- include his acknowledgees and sources of quotes in the texbook
- index, so there's a precedent.
-
- * (FMi)
- There should be entries for all encodings, OT1, T1, OML, OMS, OMX,
- at least to page 192, perhaps to others.
-

- \cornersize is incorrecly indexed as "rigid length"
-
- * Page 501 (FMi)
- \DeclareFontSubstitution should have bold entry to page 203.

- Add index entry for "Fragile command" and "Commands, fragile"
- to point to 246 and 471
-
- -* Page 508 (FMi)
- Index entry for \IndexMin should be a "rigid length"
-
- * Page 509 (PvO,FMi)
- Reference 249 for \left should be 248. (This is probably true for
- other entries pointing to the example section of chapter 8, because
- index entries to the examples are placed after the example.)
-
- -* Page 519 (FMi)
- environment supertabular is incorrectly indexed under \supertabular.
-
- * Page 520 (PvO)

- ========== 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.

- 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}{}

- \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

- 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 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:-)
-
- -* Page 128 (FMi)
- Lowercase word "comparison" in caption for table 5.8
- Also correct lot entry page xxiii.

- 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

-
- -* 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
-

- Add space before `This'
-
- -* Page 187 last line (GGr)
- Captialize: new font selection scheme
-
- * Page 199 top (FMi)
- NFSS now doesn't load math fonts until unless it encounters
- a formula in the new size. So the first para needs alteration.
-
- -* Page 191 last line (FMi)
- 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

- 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 for ...". Also change \DeclareFontEncoding to
- \DeclareFontSubstitution in last sentence of explanation for this
- message.
-
- -* Page 211 (FMi)

- font or a math alphabet) in the math version \m{name}.
-
- -* Page 214 (FMi)
- New message added:
-
- \erritem{Size substitutions with differences up to \m{size} have occured}
-
- This message will appear at the end of the run in case \NFSS{}
- selected at least one significantly different size because the
- requested size was not available. The \m{size} is the maximum
- deviation that was needed.
-
- -* Page 214 (FMi)
- New message added:
-
- \erritem{Some font shapes were not available, defaults substituted}

- The typeset equation just before (8.41') should have a tag: '
- (This is once more a printer problem. the tag ' is in the PS file

-
- -* Page 243 (FMi)
- Replace fist sentence of 8.6.5 with:
- A few options are recognized by the amstex package and the class
- files coming with AmS-LaTeX.
- (but this is still only true for the 2e version)
-
- -* Page 244 ... 251 (FMi)
- The vertical lines in the examples (mentioned on this page) are all

- the backslash).
-
- -* Page 458, 2 para (MGo)
- innner-pos should be inner-pos
-
- -* Page 459 (DCa, MGo)

- "Script Mathematical Formula Formatter -- SMFF"
-
- -* Page 485, [33]--[35] (BBe)
- omit "Technical Report" from before the ISO numbers.
- the ISO document system also has technical reports, which have "TR"
- in their number designations; these are quite different from the
- standards, which is what is being referred to here.
- also in [35] you should refer to "ISO/IEC 10646, ISO Geneva, 1993."
- this was approved as a formal standard last year, so the "draft" is
- no longer appropriate. and it's joint with the International
- Electrotechnical Commission, no longer just ISO.
-
- -* Page 486, [37] (BBe)
- publication location is not Stanford, but Bedford, MA.
-
- -* Page 491, [85] (BBe)

- -* Page 492, [88] (BBe)
- not sure where crc press is located, but "Ann Horbor" isn't likely it.
- possibly "Ann Arbor"? Yes, it is (MGo)
-
- -* Page 492, [90] (BBe)
- is there a reason why in "\LaTeX{} Kompaktf"uhrer"
- the latex part is italic and the kompaktf"uhrer is upright? i'd
- have made both italic, and knowing leslie's predilection about the
- latex logo, ...
- -* Page 492, (MGo)
- Add new reference [95]
- George Gr"atzer.
- Math into TeX: A Simple Introduction to AmSLaTeX.
- Birkh"auser, Boston, 1993.
- The first part of the book provides the novice user of
- AmSLaTeX with a simple approach, based on many examples,
- a formula gallery, sample files, and templates.
- The second part contains a systematic discussion with
- detailed examples and rules of all aspects of AmSLaTeX,
- while the final part looks at more advanced customization issues.
