I'm trying to become an apprentice novice TeX neophyte beginner. I heartily approve of the TeX idea of style sheets to describe documents, but there are a few things I want to adjust in the style sheet for letters. Does anybody have a *commented* version of a LaTeX .sty file? I used to think that troff macro files were cryptic... 1/2 :-) P.S. I already joined the TeX User's Group. Someday they're going to mail me some more books (I've already read Lamport & Knuth). -- Luke Jones, luke@mtung.att.com, ...!att!mtung!luke, phone 201/957-2733 Quote: "System Test?

For starters you should get the .doc files. These are the .sty files before the comments have been stripped. They are available (with the rest of LaTeX) in the lamport archive here at Clarkson. You should have latex.tex and lplain.tex. If you are more excited you may want to look in latex-style where I have user contributed stuff. Some of it is interesting. Down in there you will find res.sty which I wrote. I went to great pains to comment it a great deal as it is intended to also be a teaching tool but some of the code in there is still hairy. You MUST have the TeX manual to understand any of this. Files are available via anonymous ftp and the archive-server. -- Michael DeCorte // H215-546-0497 W386-8164 Fax386-8252 // mrd@clutx.bitnet 2300 Naudain St. "H", Phil, PA 19146 // mrd@sun.soe.clarkson.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clarkson Archive Server // commands = help, index, send, path archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu archive-server%sun.soe.clarkson.edu@omnigate.bitnet dumb1!dumb2!dumb3!smart!sun.soe.clarkson.edu!archive-server ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
