Does anyone have a set of TeX macros for doing Newletters? What I am
espically interested in is macros that allow for an article to be
continued on a later page (as is often done in newspapers and
newsletters).
A TeX input file would look something like:
\beginarticle{How to Use \TeX}{4in}{HowTo}
Using TeX is very easy.......
...
\endarticle
This indicates the start of the article titled "How to Use \TeX". On
the current page, there should be four inches of text. What is left
should be saved (written to a file) using the key (filename) "HowTo".
Later in the TeX file one could then type:
\continuearticle{HowTo}
This would place the rest of the text from the article "HowTo" at this
point along with a line like
(How to...continued from page 1)
at the top of the column.
Are such macros possible? Has anyone written anything similar? Of
couse things like double/multiple columns would also be nice, but I
think I can adapt the macros from the TeXbook to do this.
Thanks for any and all help.
Dan
