(section{Introduction}): added a reference to Alan's server (even though it's inevitably out of date w.r.t. this document...) Sat Oct 1 (evening) 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home) * newfaq.tex: significant upheaval (several new questions, fewer new answers), following discussion with Jonathan; add \NeedsTeXFormat requirement (should this be in faq.sty?); new section The Background with some stuff moved out from Introduction, containing questions What is TeX?, What is LaTeX?, should I use plain or LaTeX?, why's it free?, why isn't it wysiwyg?, and what is the future?; Introduction completely re-written; new questions in The Latest Developments, What is the NTS project?, what is the LaTeX3 project? * faq.sty: new commands for \BV, \NTS, \eTeX and \URL Thu Sep 29 12:43:52 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home) * newfaq.tex: lots of minor typos corrected; yet more markup added; one or two more of Joachim's comments addressed (but note new \Q about LaTeX 2.09 and `weird hyphenatoin') * faq.sty: load times.sty only \IfFileExists (such taste; such originality) Wed Sep 28 10:23:30 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home) * newfaq.tex: modified so that all question references (that I've spotted so far ;-) simply consist of a \Qref in parentheses; first iteration of sticking stuff in new sections; more books (well, one more) and into a new question; more markup tidying (\Newsgroup, \CTAN, etc.); now version 1.1, added \hfuzz and \emergencystretch * faq.sty: (possibly merely experimental ;-) made Questions into subsections, removed subsection from \cl@section, numbered sections alphabetically...; make \Qref produce "see question \ref{#1}" Tue Sep 27 16:10:17 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk) * newfaq.tex: change to use \BibTeX instead of \BiBTeX (since the latter's not one of the forms the name appears in texnames.sty; refer to PiCTeX, VorTeX through their (new) logo macros; similarly (though not new logos) tex->\TeX, AMS[La]TeX, LaTeX, BibTeX, SliTeX; correct wording describing incorporation of SliTeX into 2e (ex Joachim Schrod's suggestion) * texnames.sty: new, copied from eplain distribution, but with \PiCTeX and \VorTeX added (pro tem, at least) * faq.sty: moved the font-setting commands, etc., into the package Tue Sep 27 14:17:51 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home) * faq.sty: markup commands in separate package (ultimately to come in several versions according to the environment it's to be processed in -- e.g., versions for PS font usage/cm font usage, even a version for processing to plain text?) * newfaq.tex: moved all the markup commands out to (new) faq.sty; couple of typos corrected following input from Joachim Schrod Thu Sep 22 09:18:38 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk) * newfaq.tex: (last night's work) new-style markup for question references, label for last question (so we can see how well we're doing), \makeshortverb of \| so as to get coherent log output Tue Sep 20 13:54:51 1994 Robin Fairbairns (rf@dorceus.cl.cam.ac.uk) * newfaq.tex: moved \documentclass, \usepackage above defs of fileversion and date, so as not to pick up that from mflogo; `getting a copy' - removed fileserv@shsu.bitnet, put various email addresses in \Email; put NEWS.ANSWERS into more coherent form (verbatim; and yes, it _does_ need to be upper case) `pictex manual': escape the $s (!) `oztex': it's now shareware, not PD `fig and where to get it': remove escape from _ in \path (!) `music': corrected email address for Taupin and his ftp site `double-spacing': doublespace.sty is a file name; close paren round ref to CTAN; "latest release of LaTeX"->"LaTeX2e" `macros to do Y': verbatim site index command in text `... for machine Y running Q': FTP.nwc is a file, and yes, it is there ibid, both AIX and PC made explicit reference to fpt.dante.de `blackboard bold': tech-support is an email address; add reference to the extraordinary bbm fonts `repositories': correct address corresponding to ftp.tex.ac.uk; put site index command into verbatim `Laserjet': converted S's \Q about Berry's prog into an actual reference to it `\pagestyle{empty}': correct (;-) spelling of behaviour, "is"->"if" `NFSS': rewritten to clarify relationship to New LaTeX New question about things like \tenrm in 2e added `references wrong': line up corrected code in two columns `change margins': indent code `width of letter, etc.': indent examples; remove redundant `T' from LaTeX `LaTeX2e': first production release was June `log-like functions': indent examples `\@': "?" at end of question `Companion ... @': space after LaTeX in question, "!" at end `I've found a bug': slight elaboration of 2.09 case New version of path.sty with some hacking; redo all S's (and my one) markup commands Mon Sep 19 11:46:40 1994 Robin Fairbairns (robin@home) * define \Newsgroup (same as all the rest, pro tem) and use it for comp.tex.tex, comp.unix.wizards, news.answers, comp.sources.unix, comp.programming.literate, comp.sources.misc, comp.text, comp.fonts * added new questions "what's all this about \@", "but the companion tells me to use \@startsection" and "I've found a bug: what do I do" (which last was a suggestion of Jonathan's) * put \fileversion in the title (rather than \filedate twice) * defined command \cs (out of ltxdoc.cls) so that we can put commands in question names, required for q32 about \pagestyle{emtpy}
