Author index There is no limit to how much these systems can expand and become a more significant force in computerized Title index automation. In this issue of the PracTeX Journal we present several articles by authors involved in these areas, with the BibTeX bibliography hope that their experiences and techniques using LaTeX and other TeX tools will be useful to others. Next issue Not too long ago there was a fairly small number of LaTeX and TeX users, and they concentrated mostly on math and Spring 2013 scientific documents. As LaTeX and TeX matured over the years and became more accessible, it was natural that they would be used more in Information Technology. Today, there are countless universities, research organizations, and Editorial board commercial enterprises using TeX in IT. Lance Carnes, editor Kaja Christiansen This issue grew beyond what we expected at the outset. Although it's a very specific area, it generated a lot of interest --- Peter Flom we had over 1,800 hits on the pre-release web site. Hans Hagen Robin Laakso I hope you enjoy reading the articles, and be sure to give us feedback by clicking the links next to each article. Tristan Miller Articles Tim Null Arthur Ogawa The first article, Formatting Sweave and LaTeX Documents in APA Style, by Brian D. Beitzel, explains the use of the class Steve Peter aps6.cls for preparing manuscripts to be submitted to American Psychological Association's journals, according to its 6th Yuri Robbers edition Publication Manual. Will Robertson Other key people The second paper, The Vocal Tract LaTeX Package, by Dimitrios Ververidis, Daniel Schneider, and Joachim Köhler, is More key people wanted dealing with the package VocalTract.sty, devoted to the visualisation of the vocal tract. The next paper, Writing Posters with Beamerposter Package in LaTeX, by Han Lin Shang, discusses the use of the package beamerposter, a LaTeX tool for creating conference posters as well as some connected packages. In Seeing stars, James S. Hefferon shows how to create star symbols with MetaPost for rating a web page. In TeX in the eBook Era, Luca Merciadri emphasizes the advantages of using eBooks, in connection with LaTeX-composed documents. The following paper, Easy-to-use Chinese MTEX Suite, Hongbin Ma describes, to use his own words, "an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn Chinese MTeX Suite". It was developed by Hongbin Ma and friends in order to provide Chinese LaTeX users with a compact TeX distribution. In Bashful Writing and Active Documents, Joseph Gil discusses a new paradigm in computer science, active documents. These offer ways of presenting users with documents that change in response to exterior events. The author proposes a new package, bashful, and documents created with this package, in the author's own words, "extend the user interaction offered by active documents to the time of the document creation". Finally, the article by Rayans Carvalho and Francisco Reinaldo, Documenting ITIL processes with LaTeX (Portuguese), presents a LaTeX-based processes and services documentation tool, as suggested by the Information Technology Infrastructure Library . Columns Ask Nelly answers some questions about the customization of lists in LaTeX and about creating logos with LaTeX. The Distraction demonstrates a package writing guitar chords, and offers some entertaining font quizzes.

Kaja Christiansen Peter Flom Proofreader Calleecharan Hans Hagen Robin Laakso [Horner] writes $ \frac{ds}{dt} $ on page 3. The differential operator "d" should be upright and not in italic. Tristan Miller Tim Null Arthur Ogawa Author Horner Steve Peter Yuri Robbers I made the changes in the derivative notation because the argument that the derivative is an operation and so Will Robertson shouldn't look like a variable made sense to me. I later checked every single math and physics book on my Other key people shelves at home (I have another shelf-full at school that I keep forgetting to check) and not a single one of More key people wanted them - including the one by an author who had his wife write a font for the TRS-80 to properly typeset his book - writes the derivative in any way differently from the variable d. I guess LaTeX is out to change the way we write math in this case. We asked a well-known math book publisher and TeX expert, Michael Spivak. Should dx/dy have an italic d or a roman d? For centuries, of course, mathematicians have used an italic d. Then some standards committee or other decided it should be roman d, since italic letters are reserved for variables. As far as I know, $e^{i\pi}=-1$ is still written with an italic e and an italic i, but perhaps they were worried about Emerson's hobgoblin of small minds. I believe the roman d flag is now carried by physicists and engineers, but don't know that many mathematicians who use it. I haven't yet seen a Calculus book that uses a roman d, though there's almost certainly an enthusiast somewhere who has written one. Claudio Beccari cites the ISO standard for this (and also published an article on it in TUGBoat ten years ago): The roman d (differential), the roman i or j (imaginary unit), the roman e (base of natural logarithms) must be typed in upright type by an ISO regulation, but it deals only with typesetting mathematics in Science and Technology.

  • Creating My First Latex Article, Part 2
    The PracTEX Journal Vol 1 No 2, 2005-04-15 Rev. 2005-JUL-11 \begin{here} \title{Sujet du jour: Creating my first LATEX article, Partie 2} \author{Tim Null} \input{LATEX Survivor’s Guide} Abstract This is the second in a series of columns on the preparation of a simple and short LATEX article. The main topic of discussion is techniques for avoiding and resolving LATEX errors. It is proposed that working to minimize risk is a good strategy for new LATEX users. Techniques for reducing risk are offered. The topic for the simple example article will be introduced, and the topic will be related to the philosophy of risk minimization. The information presented in the first \begin{here} column is reviewed in an included appendix. This material is re-presented in a different and, hopefully, clearer format. \begin{here} Col. #2: Topic #1, Part #2 Tim Null is a semi-tired Technical Editor. Recently he’s been keeping himself occupied doing copyediting and figure “repair”; that is, when he’s not busy watching his old Marcus Welby tapes. c 2005 Tim Null 1 Introduction The \begin{here} column is for LATEX newbies and wannabes. I happen to be a LATEX rube myself, so I am personally looking forward to learning lots of good stuff. I come from a family of teachers, and they say the best way to learn a subject is to teach it. I guess this column will put that theory to the test, even though I don’t consider myself much of a teacher. I missed out on the family’s teacher gene, but that’s OK.

  • Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows
    The PracTEX Journal TPJ 2005 No 02, 2005-04-15 Rev. 2005-04-17 Travels in TEX Land: Choosing a TEX Environment for Windows David Walden The author of this column wanders through world of TEX, as a non-expert, reporting what he observes and learns, which hopefully will be interesting to other non-expert users of TEX. 1 Introduction This column recounts my experiences looking at and thinking about different ways TEX is set up for users to go through the document-composition to type- setting cycle (input and edit, compile, and view or print). First, I’ll describe my own experience randomly trying various TEX environments. I suspect that some other users have had a similar introduction to TEX; and perhaps other users have just used the environment that was available at their workplace or school. Then I’ll consider some categories for thinking about options in TEX setups. Last, I’ll suggest some follow-on steps. Since I use Microsoft Windows as my computer operating system, this note focuses on environments that are available for Windows.1 2 My random path to choosing a TEX environment 2 I started using TEX in the late 1990s. 1But see my offer in Section 4. 2 While I started using TEX, I switched from TEX to using LATEX as soon as I discovered LATEX existed. Since both TEX and LATEX are operated in the same way, I’ll mostly refer to TEX in this note, since that is the more basic system. c 2005 David C. Walden I don’t quite remember my first setup for trying TEX.

  • About Basictex-2021
    About BasicTeX-2021 Richard Koch January 2, 2021 1 Introduction Most TeX distributions for Mac OS X are based on TeX Live, the reference edition of TeX produced by TeX User Groups across the world. Among these is MacTeX, which installs the full TeX Live as well as front ends, Ghostscript, and other utilities | everything needed to use TeX on the Mac. To obtain it, go to http://tug.org/mactex. 2 Basic TeX BasicTeX (92 MB) is an installation package for Mac OS X based on TeX Live 2021. Unlike MacTeX, this package is deliberately small. Yet it contains all of the standard tools needed to write TeX documents, including TeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, MetaFont, dvips, MetaPost, and XeTeX. It would be dangerous to construct a new distribution by going directly to CTAN or the Web and collecting useful style files, fonts and so forth. Such a distribution would run into support issues as the creators move on to other projects. Luckily, the TeX Live install script has its own notion of \installation packages" and collections of such packages to make \installation schemes." BasicTeX is constructed by running the TeX Live install script and choosing the \small" scheme. Thus it is a subset of the full TeX Live with exactly the TeX Live directory structure and configuration scripts. Moreover, BasicTeX contains tlmgr, the TeX Live Manager software introduced in TeX Live 2008, which can install additional packages over the network. So it will be easy for users to add missing packages if needed. Since it is important that the install package come directly from the standard TeX Live distribution, I'm going to explain exactly how I installed TeX to produce the install package.
