METAFONT's mode_def in action, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 37-39
keywords: METAFONT, mode_def, bitmapped fonts
abstract: In order to obtain maximum output quality when using
METAFONT for rendering bitmapped fonts you need to specify
the characteristics of the intended output device. This is
done by defining a mode_def in which several variables
are assigned. The meaning and effect of these variables
are discussed in a case study of two types of laser
printers.

Combining TeX and PostScript, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 40-46
keywords: PostScript, inclusion of graphics, dictionaries,
macros, error handling
abstract: PostScript is becoming a de facto standard as a device
independent page description language. By embedding
PostScript elements in TeX we can extend the use of
TeX to new areas of application. In the first part of
the paper we give some general information about
PostScript and its features. In the rest of the paper we
present some of our own experiences and solutions in
combining TeX and PostScript:
-- dictionaries, prolog files and how to save a lot of
space with PostScript figures produced in CorelDRAW,
Mathematica, ...;
-- writing TeX-PostScript macros, case: drawing graphs
(combinatorics) in TeX; PostScript error handling
mechanism, an application in function graph drawing
macro.

HTML & TeX: Making them sweat, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 56-60
keywords: !!
abstract: HTML is often criticised for its presentation-oriented
conception. But it does contain sufficient structural
information for many everyday purposes and this has led to
its development into a more stable form. Future platforms
for the World Wide Web may support other applications of
SGML, and the present climate of popularity of the Web is
a suitable opportunity for consolidation of the more
stable features. TeX is pre-eminently stable and
provides an ideal companion for the process of translating
HTML into print.

LaTeX2HTML ervaringen; Van Handleiding in LaTeX tot Hulp Module op Internet, Dutch, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 69-73
keywords: !!
abstract: Welkom op de digitale snelweg! Steeds meer informatie
wordt er aangeboden op het Internet, en met het uitgroeien
van het Internet groeit de onoverzichtelijkheid. In dit
artikel wordt een toepassing van LaTeX2HTML beschreven
waarbij een LaTeX document wordt omgezet naar een reeks
goed gestructueerde pagina's op het World-Wide Web. Deze
toepassing betreft een document die een handleiding is
voor Internet-gebruikers (voornamelijk voor medewerkers
van Laboratoriumvoor Analytische Chemie, KUN, Nijmegen).
Er worden wat voordelen en voorbeelden van het LaTeX2HTML
gebruik gegeven en hoe je het programma kunt aanpassen
naar je eigen wensen. Bekijk de LaTeX documenten ook
eens op deze moderne manier en blader eens met de muis
door je tekst, getransformeerd tot een digitaal wonder op
je scherm. Oftewel: LaTeX2HTML2!

A World Wide Web Interface to CTAN, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 77-82
keywords: !!
abstract: There are a lot of different software packages, style
files, fonts, etc. in the CTAN archives. Finding the
things you need in a timely fashion can be difficult, as I
found out while writing Making TeX Work. The ability to
combine descriptions of packages with the directory
listings from CTAN could help alleviate some of the
difficulty. HTML, the document structuring language of the
World Wide Web, provides one possible means of combining
different views of the archive into a single vision. The
CTAN-Web project is my attempt to provide this vision.

An Introduction to HyperTeX, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 83-86
keywords: !!
abstract: The popularity of the World-Wide-Web and the HTML
hypertext language for electronic distribution of
information over the internet has thus far been difficult
to extend to scientific documents, in part because TeX,
the word processing language of choice for technical and
mathematical documents, does not have the hypertext
capabilities necessary for full integration into the WWW.
HyperTeX consists of a collection of extensions of TeX
to handle both internal and external (local or networked)
hypertext, thus allowing the huge body of TeX-based
documents to be more fully integrated with the WWW. This
introduction was originally prepared for the American
Physical Society e-print meeting at Los Alamos, New
Mexico, Oct. 15, 1994.

The Hyperlatex Markup Language, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 87-98
keywords: !!
abstract: Hyperlatex is a little package that allows you to use
LaTeX to prepare documents in HTML (the hypertext markup
language used by the world wide web), and, at the same
time, to produce a fine printed document from your input.
You can use all of LaTeX's power for the printed output,
and you don't have to learn a new language for creating
hypertext documents.

Conversion from WORD/WordPerfect to LaTeX, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 120-124
keywords: conversion, WORD, WinWord, WordPerfect, RTF
abstract: Production of a large document with many contributors may
require conversion of all submitted manuscripts into the
same format, for example LaTeX. A large proportion of
manuscripts are submitted in the formats of WORD and
WordPerfect, two very popular word processing programs. I
will discuss different approaches converting such files to
LaTeX format. First of all the differences between the
word processors WORD and WordPerfect versus the document
preparation system LaTeX will be explained, and problems
encountered during text conversion into LaTeX will be
discussed. The conversion can be done either by means of a
seperate program (external conversion) or using macros,
style sheets and a printer driver from within the word
processors (internal conversion). Advantages and
disadvantages of both methods for different types of text
elements such as plain text, lists, tables and
mathematical formulas will be discussed. This is followed
by an overview of the conversion programs currently
available.

Scientific Word / Workplace 2.0.1; Whats new?, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 127-128
keywords: !!
abstract: Scientific Word version 1.x from TCI Software Research
has gotten improvements and an offspring. The improvements
are not only better support for different LaTeX styles
and dialects but also more user conveniences and better
stability. The offspring is Scientific Workplace, a
similar Windows software package under Windows 3.1. But
besides all the Scientific Word functions it also has a
built-in Maple Version V interface and many Maple symbolic
calculation functions. Not to forget that version 2.0.1.
works fine under OS/2 Warp with all its speed and data
exchange advantages.

Scientific WorkPlace; een eerste indruk, Dutch, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 129-130
keywords: !!
abstract: Het pakket SCIENTIFIC WORKPLACE. versie 2.0(SWP), vroeger
Scientific Word, is een uitgebreide versie van een
`WhatYouSeeIsWhatYouGet' tekstverwerker gebaseerd op
LaTeX2e en werkend onder Microsoft Windows. De
uitbreiding bestaat uit een deel van een `Computer
Algebra' pakket, de kernel van Maple. Verder is er een
programma om toetsen samen te stellen, uit databestanden
met opgaven. Deze voorlopige test van versie 2.0 is
uitgevoerd op een IBM compatibele PC, met een 486
processor en 8MBintern geheugen, door een persoon met
LaTeX 2.09 en Maple ervaring, maar zonder kennis van
MSWindows (`waar is dat nou voor nodig...') of
SCIENTIFIC WORKPLACE. Voor het installeren en testen zijn
twee volle dagen gebruikt. Dit verslag geeft
vanzelfsprekend slechts een eerste indruk van het
pakket.

TeX-verwerking in kleur, Dutch, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 137-138
keywords: !!
abstract: Vooral beginnende TeX-gebruikers ervaren de mix van
commando's en tekst als verwarrend. Mede om die reden
hebben wij zo'n vier jaar geleden onze tekstverwerker
afgestemd op het gebruik van TeX, door TeX-commando's op
een wat afwijkende manier weer te geven. Het blijkt dat,
afgezien van aanvullende mogelijkheden om de syntax te
controleren, het aantal fouten in commando's drastisch
afneemt.

Een zwart-wit kijk op kleur, Dutch, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 139-145
keywords: !!
abstract: Wie tegenwoordig op een zwart-wit tv-toestel een
uitzending volgt zal zich vaak tevreden moeten stellen met
een weinig contrastrijk beeld. Na de introductie van de
kleuren-tv is nog lang rekening gehouden met
zwart-witkijkers. De keus van kleuren in decors werd mede
afgestemd op de weergave in zwart-wit. Dit is niet
verwonderlijk, omdat de zwart-witkijkers een ruime
meerderheid vormden. Op papier lijkt zich een dergelijke
ontwikkeling af te spelen. Voor kleurenprinters geschikte
illustraties, kunnen op zwart-wit printers een matig beeld
opleveren. Het is dan ook de vraag hoe we aan de `wensen'
van de overgrote meerderheid van zwart-wit printers
tegemoet kunnen komen.

Genezen van WPosis -- nu heb ik chronische TeXitis..., Dutch, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 146-148
keywords: !!
abstract: Bij het vormgeven van een voorstel voor reglementen
overschreed een verstokte WordPerfect-gebruiker de grenzen
van zijn geliefde tekstverwerker. Frans Goddijn hielp hem
aan de TeX. In dit artikel geeft een nieuwe
TeX-gebruiker een globale indruk van zijn laatste
ervaringen met WordPerfect en zijn eerste ervaringen met
TeX. Hij doet dit aan de hand van het werk aan een
document waarin het mogelijk moest zijn om vele
typografische middelen onafhankelijk van elkaar te
gebruiken om verschillende soorten passages aan te duiden.
Dit bleek in TeX goed te realiseren, zij het met veel
inspanning, en het resultaat was zeer bevredigend. Toen
het eerste document eenmaal gereed was, bleek het
bovendien daarna zeer eenvoudig om soortgelijke documenten
te zetten.

provided but you can define enwhatevering macros yourself
by means of the macros provided by hhflxbox. Finally
hhcount is presented: macros to handle simple and
composite counters in a fancy way.

The Scenario -- in Three Versions; hhparmrk does it, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 156-162
keywords: paragraph, mark, distribution, select
abstract: During work towards a flexible document as a continuous
report on a wide variety of contacts for the Meridian Arts
Ensemble in New York, Frans Goddijn felt the need to tag
and mark certain paragraphs for specific groups of
readers. Herman Haverkort wrote a package for LaTeX2e,
hhparmrk, which facilitates this by offering the
possibility to set various signs next to paragraphs. This
article presents hhparmrk, gives examples of its use and a
short manual. For the hackers among us some of the
TeXnical tricks involved behind the scenes are glanced
at.

Sorting in TeX's Mouth, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 163-168
keywords: !!
abstract: TeX's macro processor, the so-called mouth, can be used
to perform very complex tasks. Because this part of TeX's
programming language is as powerful as a Turing machine,
it is possible to implement algorithms using only TeX's
mouth. I will show how sorting algorithms can be
implemented in a straight-forward and very elegant and
under-standable way using only macros and macro expansion
TeXniques.

abstract: The backgrounds, use, and coding of BLUe's Format
Databases have been discussed. Two kinds of databases have
been introduced class I (data, such as addresses,
references, and script parts for example pictures), and
class II (macros, such as variant formats and tools). At
the heart lies the selective loading TeXnique, which
allows that only what is needed will be loaded on-the-fly.
The data structures and operations on them have been
treated. The use within the context of typesetting scripts
have been elucidated via examples. At the end the coding
is explained.

keywords: compatible extension, education, index, macro writing,
number ranges, one-pass job, ordering table, plain TeX,
reusable software parts, software engineering, sort
keys
abstract: The creation of a modest index within a one-pass TeX
job is proposed. In general a proof run and a final run
are needed. The markup for the index entries is the same
as used by Knuth for The TeXbook. The process is
controlled by the tags: \sortindex and
\pasteupindex. The file which emerges after
\sortindex can be enriched by hand, for example to
include `see also' and the like. Sorting keys can be
specified too, as well as items which have to be ignored
for the sorting. The macros have been developed for use
with English documents. To leave open the use with other
languages the ordering has been parameterized in an
ordering table.

abstract: The backgrounds, use, design, and coding of BLUe's
Letters format have been discussed. The purpose is to
format a letter, merge it with address(es) from a
database, and typeset it all with the appropriate
background such as logo and the like, completely within
TeX. Separate labels can be obtained too, either
specified by name or searched for by pattern.

BLUe's Reports, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 193-199

data integrity, education, FIFO, house style, lazy
evaluation, list element tag, macro writing,
on the fly, pattern matching, plain TeX, reports,
reusable software parts, separation of concerns, set
macros, software engineering
abstract: The backgrounds, use, design, and coding of BLUe's
Reports format have been discussed. The purpose is to
format a report as a compatible extension of the default
note format of BLUe's format. As such it is an example of
how to customize BLUe's format system with a format of
your own. The differences have to do with not only using
titles but also reusing the titles for table of contents,
list of examples, and running headlines the preliminary
pages and cover pages which are absent with the default
note format appendices may contain collected information
from the script such as answer to the exercises (similar
as in The TeXbook), table of examples, table of
contents, and an index.

Paradigms: Two-part macros, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 200-204
keywords: BLUe's format, catcodes, education, macro writing,
multiple use of copy, plain TeX
abstract: The use of two-part macros in BLUe's format is discussed.
First the reason why in general two-part macros are
beneficial is explained. Practical examples from the
TEX-NL discussion list have been treated. The
automatically generation of a one-part macro on top of
two-part macros is given. The impossibility of reusing
copy with different catcodes in TeX is mentioned and
illustrated with an example from the TeXbook.

Paradigms: Parameterization I -- options, English, MAPS 14, 1995, pp. 205-207
keywords: BLUe's format, education, macro writing, optional parameters,
plain TeX
abstract: The use of options in BLUe's format is discussed. A
survey is given of how Knuth coped with the functionality
of optional arguments in TeX and manmac. As an extension
to TeX's \every<tag> the BLUe's \this<tag>s are
introduced, with the advantage of simpler handling of
arguments. It is contrasted with the use in TUGboat's style
files and AMS's ppt.sty.

reusable software parts, software engineering
abstract: The formatting of (partial) PASCAL programs within plain
TeX is proposed. Only \beginpascal and
\endpascal have to be added as markup. In general
the literate programming tools are to be preferred,
especially when designing, developing, documenting, and
maintaining professional software.
