Subject: Page # of # pages
From what I know of TeX, I don't think it is possible to put a header
of Page # of # Pages where the second # is the total number of pages
in less than two passes. But I might be wrong, so I am throwing this
out to the TeXHaX readership.

Subject: Mirror-image fonts
> Does anyone happen to have fonts for the English alphabet in *reverse*--

I actually did this, for the songbook for the party after my
PhD-defense... I just inserted a minus-sign (or did I remove it?) in
the PostScript file generated... (It sure was a weird song book.)
Seriously speaking, if you are using PostScript as you output medium,
this is easy. PostScript has a current transformation matrix, CTM.
By manipulating this, all affine transformations of the image can be
done. E.g. different magnifications, not necessarily same in x- and
y-direction, slanting, etc... Works just the same for PostScript
fonts as for the downloaded bit pattern fonts. In particular, by just
flipping the x-axis (that's my minus-sign), everything comes out
mirror image. I am almost (but not quite...) sure that you can
achieve this just by putting the line
-1 1 scale
at the right place in the PostScript file. Ask your local PostScript
guru. The prolog of dvi2ps is well commented.
This all assumes that you are satisfied with having your entire
document in reverse, i.e. can use a pair of sissors and some glue. If
not, it can still be done, but is more complicated.

Subject: Re: Page numbering in LaTeX
In TeXhax #60, mike@ucdhep.bitnet asks for a way to get page numbers
appear both in the header and footer.
You will need to create your own page style. Any silly pagestyle is
best defined in a style file, since the '@' character needs to be a
letter while you define a new page style. The style file should contain
a definition of the form
\def\ps@silly{ ... }
whereupon you can say things like \pagestyle{silly}. The body of the
\ps@silly macro should define headers and footers for even and odd
pages, respectively. This is explained quite well in the file
latex.tex. Search for the string "ps@" to learn the details. I suggest
you copy the definition of \ps@plain to your style file and modify it.
Producing chapter relative page numbers should be doable in several
ways. Perhaps the easiest would be to make a separate counter which is
initialized by a new chapter and is incremented by the \@oddfoot and
\@evenfoot routines. This should work as long as If you don't need
the chapter relative page numbers for cross referencing purposes.

Subject: Alternate hyphenation patterns for ctex
I have modified TeX to handle multiple hyphenation languages. This is
done with integer parameter \patternsnum, which selects the pattern
set currently used. The TeX version I modified is the web-to-c
version. It should work with most UNIX-machines.
For example:
% tex
This is TeX, C Version 2.9 (preloaded format=plain 88.7.5)
**\relax
*\patternsnum=0 % Well, this is default (English)
*\showhyphens{hyphenation}
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 0
[] \tenrm hy-phen-ation
*\showhyphens{tavutus} % tavutus = hyphenation in Finnish
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 0
[] \tenrm tavu-tus
*\patternsnum=1 % Finnish
*\showhyphens{hyphenation}
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 0
[] \tenrm hyp-he-na-tion
*\showhyphens{tavutus}
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 0
[] \tenrm ta-vu-tus
*\bye
(see the transcript file for additional information)
No pages of output.
Transcript written on texput.log.
%
You can see how the hyphenation changes. \patternsnum is used also
with the \patterns primitive, when TeX reads all the patterns. This is
our /usr/lib/tex/macros/hyphen.tex file:
\patternsnum=0
\input enghyphen % English hyphenation patterns (the original hyphen.tex)
\patternsnum=1
\input fh % Finnish hyphenation patterns
\patternsnum=0 % Reset to the default
If \patternsnum <> 0 accents, hyphenation algorithm sees accented
characters as pairs: \"a shows as ~~?a etc. This is useful with
many languages.
\patternsnum can be used in an environment where many languages are needed in
the same document. \patternsnum affects when the whole paragraph is
being hyphenated; that means that you should change change
\patternsnum immediately after a \par.
I sent diffs to ctex.ch file with this. If moderator wants to place it
in a public place, please do so. It could be a good idea to send them
to UNIX-TeX distributor, too.

takes everything else in its line as an argument? I've tried some variations
on \def\line#1<return>{...} but haven't been able to make it work. Perhaps
one needs category code tricks. (It's definitely possible--for example,
the bibliography stuff in AMS-TeX works this way.)

Date: Wed, 13 Jul 88 11:13:29 -0700
From: kelem@aerospace.aero.org
There is a problem with \Longleftarrow and \Longrightarrow at 12pt in TeX
and LaTeX, not in the metafont descriptions of \Leftarrow and \Rightarrow
as previously reported. These characters are defined as
\def\Longleftarrow{\Leftarrow\joinrel\Relbar}
\def\Longrightarrow{\Relbar\joinrel\Rightarrow}
They look fine at 10pt, but at 12pt the = (\Relbar) looks like it's too low
by about half the thickness of the lines in the =. This ``stairstep'' in
the character looks pretty bad.

Subject: TeX files on Boston bulletin board
I have gradually been building up a TeX files area on the Channel 1 bulletin
board in Cambridge MA. The number of the BBS is (617) 354 8873, and it
supports modems up to 9600 baud, I think.
The TeX files area is no. 29, and it already contains a reasonable amount,
including executables for Common TeX 2.1 (with Plain fmt), Beebe's drivers
DVIJEP, DVIALW and DVIIMP, with a complete set of CM fonts at 300 dpi, in
5 magsteps. I recently uploaded the C source code for Common TeX 2.9
(cmntex29.arc) and the full C source of Beebe's DVI driver family
(beeb210a.arc and beeb210b.arc), the latest version of LaTeX (as of about
June 1988), DVIEW, DVIVGA (VGA previewer), HP2TEX, PCWRITEX (PC-Write to
TeX converter). There is much else besides.
Several of these files are very large, and it would take ages to download
them. But if you "join" Channel 1 ($25 or so) you can have disks sent to
you with whatever you want on them, so the problem is soluble for a small
fee.
Now I am leaving Cambridge, and returning to the UK. But the sysop of
Channel 1, Brian Miller, is pleased with the TeX stuff, and happy to keep
it up. But of course I am not about to send stuff over from England. My
time as a supplier for Channel 1 is over.
If anyone would like to contribute DOS executables of TeX related programs,
sources, macros, or anything, to Channel 1, please feel free. And likewise,
there is much available there for people without FTP access.
Enjoy.

Subject: verbatim mode
I need an environment which does the same things that verbatim does,
but it should accept one command: "\input{...}".
I have a lot of small programs which aren't complete now, so for
the documentation they should be included from separate files
with the input command. The programs themselves have {, }, @ and so on
and I wish to print them in typewriter. It isn't possible to
write "\begin{verbatim}" and "\end{verbatim}" in each separate
file, I want to write it like this:
..
\begin{verbatim}
\input{prog1}
\end{verbatim}
..
\begin{verbatim}
\input{prog2}
\input{prog3}
\end{verbatim}
If I use the ALLTT STY the input command is accepted, but all
other special characters in my programs are also treated as
TeX commands.

Subject: Beginners question: How to change textwidth within a document
Thanks for all the answers to my last question, including Dr. Lamports. This,
again, is a simple question; so LL should not read it EXCEPT IF ALL OTHER
WIZARDS HAVE GIVEN UP ON IT. I am sorry to post such an easy question, but the
next LaTeX wizard is 2500 miles west, and the people at Talaris (who sold us
TeX) shouldn't even be allowed to sell pencils.
How do I change \textwidth within a (long) document? Reason: The text has some
chapters (for example the "Executive Summary") with a lot of marginal notes, so
I increased \marginparwidth and decreased \textwidth by 80 points each; most
other chapters have no marginal notes, but a lot of figures, so the margin
shouldn't be wasted (both to save paper, and because a two-inch margin looks
ugly). Unfortunately, \textwidth can only be changed in the preamble; that
means: changing either \textwidth or \columnwidth within the document just
doesn't have any effect. The LaTeX book explicitly states that \textwidth
should not be changed in the text.
So, how do I do it ? What parameter do I have to change to make the text
narrower or wider ?? I promise to do the change only at page breaks (using
\clearpage before the change). My favourite solution would be something like a
"narrow with marginnotes" pagestyle, so I could use \pagestyle$narrow and
\pagestyle$plain commands to switch back and forth. I tried defining a
\ps@narrow with the \addtolength commands for \textwidth and \marginparwidth in
it, but that doesn't have any effect, as explained above.
And now a question about figures and other floating bodies. We (that is: my
boss) would like floats to be seperated from the rest of the text by a rule
(like the one which usually seperates footnotes from the text, except extending
all the way across the page). Unfortunately, I have no idea how to accomplish
that. It seems to be pretty straightforward, if one knows where the placing of
floats is done.
Any help appreciated.

Subject: Re: bib stuff: keys
I always use "author:word" where "author" is *always* the last name of
the paper's first author (even if there are multiple authors) and
"word" is the first significant word in the title (in other words,
skipping articles). There are two goals to keep in mind when inventing
an algorithm for creating keys: (1) it needs to be good enough to avoid
duplicates and (2) the simpler the better. Remember that the key is
only a means of identifying the entry: it doesn't really need to have
all the authors names or half the title.
Example: "The Logic of Aliasing" by Robert Cartwright and Derek Oppen,
I use the bibtex key "cartwright:logic".
It may not be optimal, but it has worked (so far) for me.

Subject: Preventing Line Break and Line Feed
If someone on the TeX list could help me with this I will really appreciate it.
I am obviously missing something in the following macro. The objectives of this
macro are to keep track of figure numbers in my thesis, print the figure number
in the text, do a pageinsert or vskip if needed, and insert the figure title
and its page number into the table of contents file. Everything works fine,
EXCEPT the macro does a line feed after printing the figure number in the
text. I have tried using \penalty and \nobreak wherever possible but I still
get a blank line after the figure number. In the example shown below, the
macro inserts a blank line between the figure number and " shows the ..."
I know this is trivial, but could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Example of Usage:
Figure \figure{y}{designfig}{System Design}{p}{6.0truein} shows the ...
\def\figure#1#2#3#4#5{
\global\advance\figurecount by 1 \the\figurecount
\global\expandafter\xdef\csname#2\endcsname{\the\figurecount}
