This revised edition contains expanded information about typesetting in Versions 3.5, 4, and 5 of SWP and SW. It presents many new techniques for achieving special typesetting effects and includes a new chapter containing extensive troubleshooting in- formation. About This Manual Our purpose is threefold: to answer common questions and solve common problems related to typesetting in SWP and SW; to help you choose document shells appropriately; to explain when and how you can tailor typesetting specications and document shells from within the program so that you can create documents that more precisely meet your typesetting needs. To these ends, we begin the manual with what may be the only thing you need to read: the answers to the questions users ask most frequently about working with LATEX typesetting in SWP and SW. Chapter 1 “Tailoring Typesetting to Your Needs” provides tips on modifying page layout, document elements, tables and gures, and mathematics in SWP and SW documents. If you need more basic information, we suggest you start with Chapter 2 “Working with Typesetting Specications and Document Shells.” The chapter briey discusses the structure of LATEX documents. It explains how typesetting specications work and ad- dresses the most basic and perhaps most important document development task: how to choose a document shell—or template—that meets the typesetting requirements of you and your publisher. The chapter discusses how and to what extent you can tailor a doc- ument using available document class and LATEX package options and, where necessary, TEX commands. Chapter 2 also explains how to create SWP and SW documents using typesetting specications obtained from an outside source and how to work with LATEX documents not created with SWP or SW. The LATEX packages provided with the program are the focus of Chapter 3 “Using LATEX Packages.” The discussion explains how the packages extend TEX typesetting ca- pabilities and notes how each package interacts with and, occasionally, conicts with other typesetting elements. Chapter 4 "Troubleshooting" offers information to help you isolate and resolve com- mon errors generated by SWP and SW and by LATEX and PDFLATEX. The information is related to problems that can occur at various stages of document preparation. xiv What's New Accompanying this manual is another volume, A Gallery of Document Shells for Scientic WorkPlace and Scientic Word, available on your program CD as a PDF le.

    The Transformation of Calligraphy from Spirituality to Materialism in Contemporary Saudi Arabian Mosques A dissertation submitted to Birmingham City University in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art and Design By: Ahmad Saleh A. Almontasheri Director of the study: Professor Mohsen Aboutorabi 2017 1 Dedication My great mother, your constant wishes and prayers were accepted. Sadly, you will not hear of this success. Happily, you are always in the scene; in the depth of my heart. May Allah have mercy on your soul. Your faithful son: Ahmad 2 Acknowledgments I especially would like to express my appreciation of my supervisors, the director of this study, Professor Mohsen Aboutorabi, and the second supervisor Dr. Mohsen Keiany. As mentors, you have been invaluable to me. I would like to extend my gratitude to you all for encouraging me to conduct this research and give your valuable time, recommendations and support. The advice you have given me, both in my research and personal life, has been priceless. I am also thankful to the external and internal examiners for their acceptance and for their feedback, which made my defence a truly enjoyable moment, and also for their comments and suggestions. Prayers and wishes would go to the soul of my great mother, Fatimah Almontasheri, and my brother, Abdul Rahman, who were the first supporters from the outset of my study. May Allah have mercy on them. I would like to extend my thanks to my teachers Saad Saleh Almontasheri and Sulaiman Yahya Alhifdhi who supported me financially and emotionally during the research.

  • The Selnolig Package: Selective Suppression of Typographic Ligatures*
    The selnolig package: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures* Mico Loretan† 2015/10/26 Abstract The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TEXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelfful rather than as shelfful. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called “common” ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression rules for a number of so-called “discretionary” or “rare” ligatures, such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLATEX format provided by a recent TEX distribution, e.g., TEXLive 2013 and MiKTEX 2.9. Contents 1 Introduction ........................................... 1 2 I’m in a hurry! How do I start using this package? . 3 2.1 How do I load the selnolig package? . 3 2.2 Any hints on how to get started with LuaLATEX?...................... 4 2.3 Anything else I need to do or know? . 5 3 The selnolig package’s approach to breaking up ligatures . 6 3.1 Free, derivational, and inflectional morphemes .

  • Installation
    APPENDIX A Installation In case you do not already have a LATEX installation, in Sections A.1 and A.2, we describe how to install LATEX on your computer, a PC or a Mac. The installation is much easier if you obtain TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group, TUG (see Section E.2). It contains both the TEX implementations we discuss. No installation is given for UNIX computers. The attraction of UNIX to its users is the incredibly large number of options, from the UNIX dialect, to the shell, the editor, and so on. A typical UNIX user downloads the code and compiles the system. This is obviously beyond the scope of this book. Nevertheless, TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group supplies the compiled (binaries) of LATEX for a number of UNIX variants. First read Chapter 1, so that in this Appendix you recognize the terminology we introduce there. I will assume that you become sufficiently familiar with your LATEX distribution to be able to perform the editing cycle with the sample documents. 490 Appendix A Installation A.1 LATEX on a PC On a PC, most mathematicians use MiKTeX and the editor WinEdt. So it seems appro- priate that we start there. A.1.1 Installing MiKTeX If you made a donation to MiKTeX or if you have the TEX Live 2007 (or later) from the TEX Users Group, then you have a CD or DVD with the MiKTeX installer. Installation then is in one step and very fast. In case you do not have this CD or DVD, we show how to install from the Internet.

A manuscript might consist of hundreds of bound leaves, five gatherings, or a single sheet of paper. The term “manuscript” is used here for all of these. A factitious manuscript is comprised of several parts or sections of different provenance.
