Here is my reason for asking-- I am I can recommend `version.sty', which I collected from some ftp site somewhere. I've just checked sun.soe.clarkson.edu and ymir.claremont.edu, neither of which have it, so I have tacked it onto the end of this item. ---- Mike Strasser Psychology Dept.

These let you define environments whose contents % will be optionally added to or deleted from the text when you run LaTeX. % Usage: place either of the following near the start of your file: % \includeversion{NAME} % \excludeversion{NAME} % Here, "NAME" is any name you choose. The first one indicates that text % between \begin{NAME} and \end{NAME} will be processed in the normal way. % The second indicates that text between \begin{NAME} and \end{NAME} will % be totally deleted. % You can define environments for as many versions as you want. % A ``comment'' environment has already been pre-defined for you with % \excludeversion{comment}; you can override this using \includeversion. % % Example: % \includeversion{abridged}\excludeversion{unabridged} % Text for the % \begin{abridged} % short % \end{abridged} % \begin{unabridged} % long and really longwinded, opaque and boring % \end{unabridged} % version of the paper. Punctuation works correctly\begin{unabridged} % because sphack is used\end{unabridged}. % \begin{comment} This is deleted by default. \end{comment} % % Stephen Bellantoni 1990, loosely based on "annotation.sty" by Tom Hofmann. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begingroup \catcode`@=11\relax% \catcode`{=12\relax\catcode`}=12\relax% \catcode`(=1\relax \catcode`)=2\relax% \gdef\includeversion#1(% \expandafter\gdef\csname #1\endcsname% ()% \expandafter\gdef\csname end#1\endcsname% ()% )% \gdef\excludeversion#1(% \expandafter\gdef\csname #1\endcsname% (\@bsphack\catcode`{=12\relax\catcode`}=12\relax\csname #1@NOTE\endcsname)% \long\expandafter\gdef\csname #1@NOTE\endcsname ##1\end{#1}% (\csname #1END@NOTE\endcsname)% \expandafter\gdef\csname #1END@NOTE\endcsname% (\@esphack\end(#1))% )% \endgroup \excludeversion{comment} -- Mike Strasser Psychology Dept The University of Queensland
