% \myprinting
%
% Specifies which (revised) printing you own. For example, if you

%
% The default below ensures that all entries relevant to the second
% printing are typeset. (first printing are not included so don't
% try, and a third printing does not exist although some extries
% claim they are which means i have corrected the source :-)
%
% If you really own a first printing (which is something like a

% \norevisionnumbers
%
% Specifies that all page numbers in the errata are shown in the same

\CHAPTER{General }
\erroronpage{i}{last line}{KSe}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace ``Signapore'' with ``Singapore''.
\erroronpage{iii}{copyright notice}{BDe}{1997/06/01}{}
True copyright symbol provided by Lucida Bright should be used.
\erroronpage{xi}{}{FMi} {1997/06/01}{}
Add a section entitled ``Using the examples'' and describe the need
for a) |\makeatletter| ... for commands with |@| in their name, i.e.,
something like the explanation on page 15 and b) that people have
to watch out for the packages they need, something that might be
explained a little earlier on in the same section.
\CHAPTER{Front matter}
\CHAPTER{Chapter 1}
\erroronpage{1}{last line}{DAr}{1997/06/01}{}
Replace ``the \TeX{} book'' by ``The \TeX book'' (capitalized ``The'' and
close up).
(The same for page 23 footnote).
\erroronpage{2}{para 3}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace ``in the public domain'' with ``free of charge''
as \TeX{} is copyrighted by Donald E. Knuth and *NOT* public domain.
\erroronpage{2}{para 4}{UVi}{1997/06/01}{3}
In the book title `\TeX{} and METAFONT ...', the METAFONT logo should
be in italic.
\erroronpage{5}{para 3, l.1}{MOs}{1997/06/01}{}
``LaTeX'' should be typeset ``\LaTeX''.
\erroronpage{6}{l -8 }{MOs}{1997/06/01}{}
|Y\&Y| should by typeset |Y\&Y\@|.
\erroronpage{7}{last line}{MGo}{1997/06/01}{3}
``International Standards Organization'' should be
``International Organization for Standardization''.
\CHAPTER{Chapter 2}
\erroronpage{12}{two lines of white space}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
This is not a mistake, only a bad design (perhaps). What you see on
this page is a looooong caption and the line
``need different logical ...''
is the rest of the sentence that was started on the previous page.
\erroronpage{14}{l.8}{CKr}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add missing ``be'': ``it will \u{be} assumed to be...''.
\erroronpage{14}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace last para with:
``Finally, when the |\begin{document}| is reached, all global options are
checked to see whether each of them has been used by any package; if
not, you will get a warning message. It is usually a spelling mistake
if your option name is never used; another possibility is the removal
of a |\Lmcs{usepackage}| command loading a package that used this
option.''
\erroronpage{17}{}{JSa}{1997/06/01}{3}
Last sentence of 2.1.2 is unclear.
MGo: Replace with:
``If a document is too large to process in a single run,
it can be sub-divided into sub-parts that can be run separately.
However, in this case, they must be processed
\emph{in the correct sequence} to ensure that the
cross-references and page numbers are correct.''
\erroronpage{17}{sec 2.1.3}{FMi}{1998/05/23}{}
The |\end{filecontents}| should be on a line by itself without
any text or spaces on either side. If this is not the case a
warning is produced. Also mention that this environment has a star
form which does not write any comentary into the file.
\erroronpage{18}{para 2}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
In the front matter the so-called \emph{starred form} of the
sectioning commands is normally used.
\erroronpage{20}{table 2.1}{DAr}{1997/06/01}{}
Replace ``-1'' by ``$-1$'' (minus sign not hyphen).
\erroronpage{23}{the footnote}{UVi}{1997/06/01}{3}
There is a spurious space between ``\TeX'' and ``book''.
\erroronpage{24}{description of ``name'' argument}{BRa}{1997/06/01}{}
Add something like:
``The \emph{name} must be non-empty. |\@startsection| internally
calls the command \emph{name}mark with one argument to produce
the running head if necessary, see pages 93ff. For this reason one
has to define such a command for completely new sectioning
commands. Similarily, a command with two arguments (title and
page number) and the name |\l@|\emph{name} must exist to format any
table of contents entries properly, see pages 34ff.''
\erroronpage{25}{description of ``afterskip''}{CRo}{1997/06/01}{}
Boundary condition is wrong.
Replace: ``afterskip $\geq 0$'' by ``afterskip $> 0$''
and
replace: ``afterskip $< 0$'' by ``afterskip $\leq 0$''.
\erroronpage{31}{sec 2.4}{DAr}{1997/06/01}{}
First sentence of sec 2.4 is awkward. Sounds like the titles specify
the page numbers!
\erroronpage{31}{Table 2.3}{GSa}{1997/06/01}{3}
|\refname| (default ``References'') should appear in the table.
\erroronpage{35}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Explanation of |\addtocontents| and |addcontentsline| arguments: file
argument contains |toc|, |lof|, or |lot| (i.e., without ``.'' in front)!
\erroronpage{35}{ }{MDa}{1997/06/01}{}
The last example with |\addcontentsline| is set with a different font
for the braces than all other examples. Very minor ``error''.
\erroronpage{36}{ }{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
Reword first para to make it clearer that files with arbitrary extensions
can be used and that ``|.xmp|'' is just one example
(done already in German edition).
\erroronpage{37}{last line in table 2.4}{IAN}{1997/06/01}{}
Add missing parenthesis:
``(The default definition is a small roman font.\u{)}''.
\erroronpage{37}{l.6 below Table}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
The latest versions of the package now support ``short''
extensions for use with operating systems like DOS.
\erroronpage{41}{ }{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Remove the ``|\label{before}|'' in the example since it does not serve
any purpose.
\erroronpage{41}{ }{JSa}{1997/06/01}{3}
Last paragraph starting with ``|vref| will produce a |ref| only
when...'' is ambiguous or misleading.
MGo: Replace with:
``The command |\vref| is like |\ref| when reference and
|\label| are on the same page. If label and reference differ by
one, |\vref| creates one of the strings: ``on the facing page,''
``on the preceding page,'' or ``on the following page''; the word
``facing'' is used when label and reference both fall onto a double
spread. When the difference is larger than one page, |\vref|
produces both |\ref| and |\pageref|.''
\erroronpage{42}{footnote}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
``flafter'' is a package not an option!
\erroronpage{43}{before: Language Support}{FMi,JAd}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add:
``If the space added by |\vpageref| turns out to be wrong, as in
|(\vpageref[here]{ex:foo})|
use the variant with two optional arguments and put all text up to
the preceding blank (in this case just the open parentheses) into both
optional arguments, ie
|\vpageref[(here][(]{ex:foo})|.''
\CHAPTER{Chapter 3}
\erroronpage{48}{para 3}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add the following sentence:
``Note, that accented characters have to be
surrounded by braces like this: \verb={\"a}=.''
\erroronpage{50}{para 1}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Remove this sentence ``They are optional features ...'' since
the new version of ulem activates them automatically.
\erroronpage{50}{example}{RBa}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace: ``The |\USA| has 50 states.'' by ``|\GB| was unified in 1707.''
\erroronpage{53ff}{ }{PvO}{1997/06/01}{}
An alternative to picinpar is the pickins package which provides
sophisticated picture inclusion (with and without caption, with
frames etc.) into a paragraph. Main drawback perhaps: the
documentation is very good but right now only available in German.
\erroronpage{54}{l.2}{PvG}{1997/06/01}{}
Add a right parenthesis ``)'' after ``|tabwindow|\u{)}.''.
\erroronpage{54}{last line}{DAr}{1997/06/01}{}
Replace ``are very specific'' by ``are intricate''.
\erroronpage{61}{first example}{FMi} {1997/06/01}{3}
Finish line with a percent:
``|\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}}%|''.
\erroronpage{64}{last l.}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace: ``(forcing a new line)'' by
``followed by a forced line break''.
\erroronpage{64}{code \string\Lentrylabel}{FMi}{1998/01/10}{}
Change the line
\begin{verbatim}
{\makebox[0pt][l]{\textsf{#1:}}\\}}%
\end{verbatim}
to
\begin{verbatim}
{\makebox[0pt][l]{\textsf{#1:}}\\\mbox{}}}%
\end{verbatim}
to avoid an underfull hbox message.
\erroronpage{68}{}{PvO}{1997/06/01}{3}
``|\verbatiminput|'' should be ``|\verbatimtabinput|'' (in the box).
\erroronpage{69}{}{PvO}{1997/06/01}{3}
|\begin{listing}|: I find that confusing, although I guess it is just
the way the package works. The problem is that the required
argument is NOT the first number that you see, but the first number
you see = req.arg+opt.arg-1. Maybe the description can include a
warning about this.
MGo proposes the following text:
``An optional argument ``step'' specifies
the step between numbered lines (its default value is 1,
and it corresponds to all lines being numbered), while
the required argument ``firstline''
is the number of the first line.
If ``step'' is different from |1|, then the first number
shown will be ``\emph{step}$+$\emph{firstline}$-1$,'' for instance
if the \texttt{listing} environment is invoked by the command
\verb!\begin{listing}[2]{3}!, each second line
will be numbered, starting with the number $2+3-1$, i.e., $4$.''
\erroronpage{71}{figure 3.7}{PvO}{1997/06/01}{3}
``|\skip\footins|'' is missing in the figure.
\erroronpage{72}{l -2}{OBa}{1997/06/01}{}
``|\renewcommand{footnoterule}|'' should be
``|\renewcommand{\footnoterule}|''.
\erroronpage{73}{l 3}{GGr}{1997/06/01}{}
``|\renewcommand{footnoterule}|'' should be
``|\renewcommand{\footnoterule}|''.
\erroronpage{74}{l.11}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace ``may not match'' by ``will not match''.
\erroronpage{74}{last para of 3.4.2}{GGr,FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
Change to:
``There are three parameters to define the style of marginal notes:
|\marginparwidth|, |\marginparsep|, and |\marginparpush|. Their
default values are shown in table 4.2 on page 87.''
\erroronpage{75}{para 2}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace ``accumulated in memory'' by ``accumulated in the external file''.
\erroronpage{75}{para 3}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Drop ``in memory'' since the text is stored externally.
\erroronpage{80}{last two paras from 3.5.5}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Since ftnright.sty is now updated for \LaTeX2e the last two paragraphs
can be dropped.
\erroronpage{82}{2nd paragraph after
boxed\texttt{\textbackslash excludeversion}}{MGo}{1997/06/01}{3}
``\emph{tag} is a name...'' should read ``\emph{tagname} is a name...''.
\CHAPTER{Chapter 4}
\erroronpage{87}{table 4.2}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
The table shows the value for the document styles of \LaTeX\
2.09. The class files of \LaTeXe\ have slightly different values:
\begin{verbatim}

\erroronpage{89}{l.10}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Portrait and landscape should be in typewriter font since they are actual

Replace last sentence by:
``Note that in this case the length |\headheight| and perhaps
|\footskip| might have to be increased.''.
\erroronpage{100}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
Add a warning that |\enlargethispage| only modifies the
main part of the page: running headers and footers stay
unchanged. This means that it is possible to overprint
information in the footer if the main text gets too large.

Shouldn't Table 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.7 (and perhaps others) better be
Figures, like a lot of other examples presenting tabulated \LaTeX\ output?
MGo: We have renamed all example ``tables'', namely 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5,
and 5.7 to become figures.
\erroronpage{122}{5.4.2, para2, l.4}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
It could be helpful to explicitly mention that one shouldn't use |\nofiles|
together with longtable since longtable needs to write to the |aux| file.
It would be even better if longtable would detect this problem.
MGo: add a footnote at the end of the sentence ``...table in question'':
``This means that the |\nofiles| command, that suppresses
writing of all but the \texttt{dvi} and \texttt{log} files,
should not be used together with the \texttt{longtable} package.''.
\erroronpage{122}{5.4.2., para 2, l.5 following}{DKa}{1997/06/01}{}
With version 4 of longtable the |\setlongtables| command
is no longer necessary. For this reason the documentation
starting with
``This feature has to be activated ...''
up to the end of page 122 can be removed.
In addition |\setlongtables| should be removed from the table
on page 124 and the description on page 125.
David's suggestion for a new description:
``longtable breaks the table into several chunks which are typeset one
after the other. As later chunks are only able to influence the width
of earlier chunks by writing information to the .aux file it might
take several \LaTeX\ runs until the column widths converge. (If
additional runs are necessary \LaTeX\ will output a warning). Earlier
releases of the package needed the |\setlongtables| command to trigger
this mechanism. Starting with version~4 this works automatically.''
Also starting with the 1996/12/01 release longtable has additional
commands like |\pagebreak| and also distinguishes |\\| and |\\*| (which
are the same in ordinary tabulars).
\erroronpage{124}{table 5.6}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
In line ``|\LTchunksize|'' replace ``(\TeX\ counter)'' by
``(\LaTeX\ counter)''.
Both are correct but why mention the \TeX\ version?
\erroronpage{127}{inside the tables}{JKn}{1997/06/01}{}

Note that 1.2 release of amslatex introduced amsmath as the
successor to amstex. Starting with this release the package amstex
should only be used in compatibility mode, i.e., in old documents
using |\documentstyle|. Nearly all documentation in this chapter is
nevertheless still valid (if amsmath is used). Exceptions are
hopefully all documented in the errata by now. Sorry for the
inconvenience but this incompatible change happened after the \LaTeX{}
Companion was printed and making a second edition for that reason
would look silly in my eyes. A PDF file with a new version of
chapter 8 is available on CTAN see above.
\erroronpage{216}{first two paragraphs of 8.2.1}{BBe}{1997/06/01}{}

a bold italic A, and insert ``|\boldsymbol{A}|,'' in the appropriate
place in the code list.
\erroronpage{217}{}{GSa}{1997/06/01}{3}

equation was 4.8. The argument can be a,A,i,I,1,f for the standard
\LaTeX\ numbering types: |\alph|, |\Alph|, |\roman|, |\Roman|, |\arabic|,
|\fnsymbol|. A |\label| command immediately after
|\begin{subequations}{...}| will produce a |\ref| of the parent number
``4.9'', not ``4.9a''. The counters used by the subequations environment
are ``parentequation'' and ``equation'' and standard uses of
|\addtocounter|, |\setcounter|, etc. are possible with these counter
names.

by: ``The tags must be placed at the beginning of the line
preceded by a |%|, e.g.,''.
\erroronpage{434}{l.-2}{SBe}{1997/06/01}{}
Change space after ``!'' from inter-sentence to inter-word space.
\erroronpage{437+438}{}{ASc}{1997/06/01}{3}
In the second last code line the |\@@end| should be replaced by
|\csname @@end\endcsname| since otherwise |\@@end| isn't recognised
in most situations. This also means that the checksum changes to 15.
\CHAPTER{Appendix A}
\erroronpage{440}{second example}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
It should better be: ``|\newcommand{\PsI}{\Ps\index{\Ps}}|''.
\erroronpage{440}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
As a general comment we should remark that when nesting command
definitions, e.g., a |\renewcommand| inside a |\newenvironment| one has to
double the |#| characters denoting the arguments when referring to the
arguments of the inner definition, for instance,
\begin{verbatim}
\newenvironment{foo}[1]
{ ... #1 % argument of environment foo
\renewcommand\bar[2]{ ...
##1 % argument of command \bar
#1 % argument of environment foo
##2 % argument of command \bar
}%
... #1 % argument of environment foo
}{...}
\end{verbatim}
\erroronpage{440}{following}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
|\newcommand| and |\renewcommand| now support a starred form which
makes it illegal to use |\par| (or an empty line) in the argument(s)
of the command being defined. This can be helpful for tracking
down errors of missing closing argument braces and can be used if
a command is intended to be used only within paragraphs.
\erroronpage{440}{}{RWo}{1997/06/01}{3}
Use the same formula in the last two examples to show the advantage
of |\ensuremath| better.
\erroronpage{442}{last line of A.1.1}{PvG}{1997/09/09}{}
Add the reference (see section 13.5.4 on page 404) at the end of the
line.
\erroronpage{446}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add to the description of |\newcounter|:
``It also defines |\thenewctr| to be |\arabic{newctr}|.''.
\erroronpage{447}{}{MSc}{1997/06/01}{3}
A counter cannot be larger than 9 if used with |\fnsymbol|.
\erroronpage{447}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
All the |\the...| commands in the examples should be defined with
|\renewcommand|.
\erroronpage{449}{Table A.1}{PvG}{1997/09/09}{}
For consistency with the previous definition of pt and the following
definition of dd change: (72 bp = 1 in) \> $= \frac{1}{72}$in .
FMi: or perhaps the other way around?
\erroronpage{449}{table A.1}{MSe}{1997/06/01}{}
The cicero length in millimetres is wrong:
Replace: ``4.531 mm'' by ``4.513 mm''.
\erroronpage{449}{l.4}{EPi}{1997/06/01}{}
Remove accent from Did\^ot.
\erroronpage{450}{table A.2}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
|\hfill| is better described as a ``rubber space'' not a ``rubber length''.
\erroronpage{454}{l.7}{UGo}{1997/06/01}{}
The optional arguments to |\raisebox| are exchanged: ``height'' comes
before ``depth''.
\erroronpage{454}{para 2, l.3}{PvG}{1997/09/09}{}
Replace: ``by specifying a height and depth ...''
by: ``by specifying a \textit{height} and \textit{depth} ...''.
\erroronpage{456}{last para}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
Replace: ``In the case below'' by ``In the next case'' since the next
example is on the following page.
\erroronpage{459}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add ``x333x'' after both |\usebox{\myboxb}| commands in the example
(cosmetics!).
\erroronpage{461}{table A.4}{WLe}{1997/06/01}{3}
For ``|\Requirepackage|'' read ``|\RequirePackage|'' in the explanation of
|\LoadClass|.
\erroronpage{470}{text l.5 from bottom}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Replace ``(real or integer)'' by ``integer''. They can't be real!
\erroronpage{470}{text l.3 from bottom}{RCr}{1997/08/21}{}
Replace ``more that twenty'' by ``more than twenty''.
\erroronpage{470}{A.5}{CRo}{1997/06/01}{3}
In the description of the ifthen package, no clear distinction is
made between those commands which can be used only in a
{test}-argument, and those which are for other uses.
\erroronpage{472}{}{RWo}{1997/06/01}{3}
The index entries in the |.idx| file would actually look like this
(remove the surplus ``page:AAAA1'' in the middle of them):
\begin{verbatim}
\indexentry{AAAA!both}{472}
\indexentry{AAAA!indexentry}{472}
\indexentry{AAAA!indexonly}{472}
\end{verbatim}
\erroronpage{474}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
Add a remark that one can't use |\isodd| to directly test |\value{page}|
and expect correct information because the value of this counter
isn't always correct due to \TeX's asynchronous output routine.
\CHAPTER{Appendix B}
\erroronpage{475}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Maybe rename the heading to ``\TeX\ Software and User Group information''.
\erroronpage{475}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add information about the possibility to get the CTAN software on
CD:
\begin{verbatim}

Vicki Brown, editor.
\newblock {\em Prime Time {\TeX}cetera}, volume~1.
\newblock Prime Time Freeware, Sunnyvale, CA, 1994.

\end{verbatim}
MGo: Now (end of 1997) there are various other CD's which offer
(parts of) CTAN and/or ready-to-run \TeX\ environments for UNIX,
Windows, DOS, Mac, etc.
\erroronpage{477}{l 13}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Should read: ``contents of the morebin \u{zip} archive on \u{y}our
local node.''.
\erroronpage{479}{under b.2 mail servers}{BBe} {1997/06/01}{3}
I am irked by the difference in the depth of the underline under
``end'' right after ``send help'';
maybe you could be persuaded to use a strut?
\CHAPTER{Bibliography}

The name is Peter Vollenweider; somebody inverted the `w'.
\CHAPTER{Index}
\erroronpage{}{}{JKn}{1997/06/01}{}
I suggest to index the table 5.7 (page 127) under ``Language''
and the table on top of page 140 under ``S''.
\erroronpage{}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
There should be entries for all encodings, |OT1|, |T1|, |OML|,
|OMS|, |OMX|, pointing at least to page 192, perhaps to others.
\erroronpage{493}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
The two funny looking entries of the form ``|\, 220|'' actually should
be ``|\{, 220|''
``|\}, 220|''.
\erroronpage{497}{}{GGr}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add entry for ``Blackboard bold'' pointing to page 218.
Also add one pointing to page 208 (MPi).
And add a similar entry for |\Bbb| (MPi).
\erroronpage{500}{}{JBa}{1997/06/01}{}
``Commutative Diagrams'' should point to 233-235.
\erroronpage{500}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
|\cornersize| is incorrectly indexed as ``rigid length''.
\erroronpage{500}{dd}{MCl}{1997/11/06}{}
Did\^{o}t \> Didot
\erroronpage{501}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
|\DeclareFontSubstitution| should have bold entry to page 203.

Did\^{o}t \> Didot
\erroronpage{506}{}{CRo}{1997/06/01}{3}
Add index entry for ``Fragile command'' and ``Commands, fragile''
to point to 246 and 471.
\erroronpage{507}{}{BBe}{1997/08/25}{}
The name is Kris Holmes, not Chris.
\erroronpage{508}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Index entry for |\IndexMin| should be a ``rigid length''.
\erroronpage{509}{}{PvO,FMi}{1997/06/01}{}
Reference 249 for |\left| should be 248. (This is probably true for
other entries pointing to the example section of chapter 8, because
index entries to the examples are placed after the example.)
\erroronpage{517}{}{OBo}{1997/06/01}{}
Entries for ``Page header'', ``Header of page'', ``Page footer'', and
``Footer of page'' should also point to pages 91 and 96 and perhaps
also to page 20 where table 2.2 describes how sectioning commands
relate to page headers.
\erroronpage{519}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
Environment supertabular is incorrectly indexed under |\supertabular|.
\erroronpage{520}{}{PvO}{1997/06/01}{}
Reference 249 for |\right| should be 248.
\erroronpage{525-527}{}{BBe}{1997/06/01}{}
I was a little surprised to find the listing for ``\TeX\ users group''
where one would expect to find ``TUG'' in the index, although ``TUG''
doesn't appear in the entry. I also would have expected to see
p.260 listed with that entry, considering the reference there to
the TWGMLC and the Portland meeting.
The people who were acknowledged in the preface don't show up in
the index. Although it's not necessary, of course, Knuth did
include his acknowledgees and sources of quotes in the \TeX book
index, so there's a precedent.
\erroronpage{526}{}{UVi}{1997/06/01}{}
Add index entry ``Title page'' to point to 452.
\erroronpage{527}{}{FMi}{1997/06/01}{3}
``|\unitlength|'' is incorrectly indexed as a command.

**********************************
* *
* Errors in first printing *
* *
**********************************
========== General ===========
* Some source files in the LaTeX2e distribution have got new names,
for example latex.tex -> lt....dtx (many files). The final
distribution is still under construction.
========== Front matter ===========
-* Title Page
Drop IPS, from affiliation of Samarin (just leave ISO)
-* Copyright page
Add second printing
-* Table of Contents, Page xviii
10.5 should read "Packages Based on epic
-* Table of Contents, Page xxi
Page number of Bibliography should be 481
-* Table of Contents, Page xxiii
5.8 A comparison (not A Comparison)
========== Chapter 1 ===========
-* Page 3 last para (SKi)
files containing the structures and layout definitions (extension
.sty) should also include extension .cls
-* Page 4 (JSa)
Add clo to LaTeX layout & structure file extensions
-* Page 5 third par (GGr)
In Textures, the transcript file has no extension.
========== Chapter 2 ===========
-* Page 13 (PHa)
4th bullet item: define your own (not OUR own)
-* Page 15 (JSa)
1994/08/02 should also be 1994/08/01
-* Page 29 (NPo)
fig 2.9: braces round argument `title' and `toc_entry' missing.
(very strange this)
-* Page 37, l.6 below Table (GGr)
Extension .mtc<N> will not work in DOS (Windows).
-* Page 44 (JSa,FMi)
The default for \reftextfaraway was missing.
Also changed the local adaption example to use \RequirePackage
with a reference to Appendix A.
========== Chapter 3 ===========
-* Page 48 (LLa)
The paragraph above the example unfortunately doesn't describe the
example any longer, it describes an old version of it.
-* Page 52 (OBa)
\fuzzy should be \fussy (3 lines above title 3.1.5...)
-* Page 52 (SKi)
The multispace package was written by Stephen (not Stephan) Page.
-* Page 59 (FMi)
The representation of \labelitemiv is missing. This seems to be
a``correction'' of the printer people since the dot is in the
PostScript file!
-* Page 62 (MGo)
More general (and more correct) description of general list
parameters. Especially the relation between the \labelwidth and
\itemindent lengths are made clearer.
-* Page 65 (DCa)
The labels in the Mentry env are aligned on the top of their *boxes*
not on their first baselines. (A buggy \parbox[t] implementation on
the way to LaTeX2e)
-* Page 67 (NPo)
\begin{verbatimtab}[...] instead of \verbatimtab[...] since we
describe an environment
-* Page 70 (FMi)
verbatimwrite is incorrectly mentioned as a command but it is an
environment. Also correct index entry.
-* Page 71 (DCa)
stepping the mpfootnote counter
should be
stepping the footnote counter
========== Chapter 4 ===========
-* Page 86 (FMi)
testpage.tex in LaTeX2e now asks interactively for the paper your
printer uses so there isn't any need to use testa4.tex any longer.
-* Page 94-95 (FMi)
Replace para starting at the bottom with:
The marking commands work reasonably well for right markers ``numbered
within'' left markers (for example, when the left marker is changed by
a \Lcs{chapter} command and the right marker is changed by a
\Lcs{section} command). However, it produces somewhat anomalous
results if a \Lcs{markboth} command is preceded by some other mark
command on the same page---see the page receiving \texttt{L5 R3.2} in
Figure~\vref{fig:pagemarkers}. This figure shows schematically which
left and right markers are generated for pages being shipped out.
-* Page 95 (FMi)
Replace the last four lines in figure 4.3 with the following five
lines:
\markboth{L4}{} {L4}{}
\markboth{L5}{} {L5}{}
\newpage% ----page break ---- L5 R3.2
\markright{R5.1} {L5}{R5.1}
\end{document} L5 R5.1
-* Page 97 (GGr,FMi)
Replace begin of second para with:
Some \LaTeX{} commands, like \Lcs{chapter}, use a \Lcs{thispagestyle}
command to automatically switch to the \Psty{plain} page style, thus
overriding the page style currently in effect. To customize such
pages use the \Pmsty{fancyplain} page style. This page style sets up
\Psty{fancy} for normal pages and in addition ...
-* Page 98 (EPi)
\usestylefile{fancyheadings} (in bottom example)
should be
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
-* Page 99 (EPi)
\usestylefile{fancyheadings} (in figure 4.6)
should be
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
-* Page 99 (FMi)
\samepage is considered obsolete in LaTeX2e and will not be
documented by Leslie Lamport in his book; the relevant paragraph has
been rephrased.
========== Chapter 5 ===========
-* Page 111 (OBa)
"substracting" should be "subtracting" (12th line from top)
-* Page 120 (DKre,FPo)
Bring Example text and table 5.3 in synch
-* Page 121 (DKre,FPo)
Bring Example text and table 5.4 in synch
-* Page 123 (FMi,FPo)
Bring Example text and table 5.5 in synch
-* Page 127 (FPo)
The bottom left figure seems to have a quote before Tsonga
This is a printing artefact.
-* Page 127 (PvO)
Bottom left figure, there is also some spurious ink before
Croatian.
-* Page 127 Table 5.7 (FPo)
In the last `page' the code for Tsonga appears as 'ts, with a quote
in front of it. It might be a blob of ink, but it looks very much like
a quote. (It is a blob of extra ink, and this was missed by the
printer, compare p59. FMi:-)
-* Page 128 (FMi)
Lowercase word "comparison" in caption for table 5.8
Also correct lot entry page xxiii.
-* Page 133 (MGo)
In table 5.9 URW is misspelled as URM
========== Chapter 6 ===========
-* Page 151 (MGo)
Figure 6.2, the vertical lines of the box surrounding the map
are partly invisible (printing problem)
========== Chapter 7 ===========
-* Page 170 l. 9, f.b. (GGr)
Change sentence to: Font metric files (i.e., .tfm files) are loaded
for all intermediate typefaces, even if these fonts are never used.
-* Page 171 caption (GGr)
Change
easy memorable
to
easily memorizable
-* Page 171 (FMi,LLa)
The default for \nocorrlist was changed to
\newcommand{\nocorrlist}{,.}
in the LaTeX distribution because :; do not look right with the
default LaTeX fonts from the Computer Modern families.
-* Page 177 (FMi,LLa)
The example shows that \mathnormal produces italic numbers. This is
only true for the Lucida Math Fonts used in the Companion. Thus, the
following footnote should be added to the expanation:
\footnote{With the default setup of \LaTeXe{} using Computer Modern
math fonts, \Lmcs{mathnormal} will produce old style numerals, not the
italic ones shown in the example, where Lucida is used.}
-* Page 180 in 7.5, l. 3 (GGr)
section B should be Appendix B
-* Page 180 l. 3 f.b. (GGr,FMi)
`Consequentially' should be `Consequently';
in the same sentence change `used' to `uses'.
-* Page 186 l. 8 f.b. (GGr)
Add space before `This'
-* Page 187 last line (GGr)
Captialize: new font selection scheme
-* Page 191 last line (FMi)
Add: For this to work the encoding OT2 must be declared in the
preamble or a package file.
-* Page 194 (FMi)
\cmdunh10.tfm
should be
cmdunh10.tfm
-* Page 195, 197 (FMi)
Again all .tfm files shouldn't have \ in front of their names
-* Page 201 (MGo)
substract should be subtract on second line explaining \fontdimen4
-* Page 202 (FMi)
For peamble read preamble
-* Page 204 (GGr)
fontdef.tex was renamed to fontdef.ltx in the final distribution
(also correct index entry)
-* Page 205, last para (SMi)
[...], you first have make the typeface [...]
should be
[...], you first have to make the typeface [...]
-* Page 211 (FMi)
Warning message "Check substitution defaults for ..." was changed to
"Checking defaults for ...". Also change \DeclareFontEncoding to
\DeclareFontSubstitution in last sentence of explanation for this
message.
-* Page 211 (FMi)
The message "Don't use ..." was changed to "Command ... invalid in
math mode".
-* Page 211 (FMi)
The message "Encoding scheme <name> changed to <new name> in ..."
has changed to "Encoding <name> has changed to <new name> for ..."
-* Page 213 (FMi)
New message added:
\erritem{Overwriting \m{something} in version \m{name} ...}
A declaration, like \Lcs{SetSymbolFont} or \Lcs{DeclareMathAlphabet},
has changed the assignment of font shapes to \m{something} (a symbol
font or a math alphabet) in the math version \m{name}.
-* Page 214 (FMi)
New message added:
\erritem{Size substitutions with differences up to \m{size} have occured}
This message will appear at the end of the run in case \NFSS{}
selected at least one significantly different size because the
requested size was not available. The \m{size} is the maximum
deviation that was needed.
-* Page 214 (FMi)
New message added:
\erritem{Some font shapes were not available, defaults substituted}
This message will appear at the end of the run in case \NFSS{}
had to use automatic font substitution for some font shapes.
========== Chapter 8 ===========
-* Page 215 (FMi,MGo)
Added a reference to George~Gr\"atzer's book on AmSLaTeX.
Also add bibliography [95] (see bibliography section later)
-* Page 218 (DCa)
\o
should be
o
-* Page 219 (DCa)
`blank' \rown
should be
/-\ \frown (didnt this one create a TeX error :-)
(FMi no because of TeX's \csname bug :-( )
-* Page 219, 222 (DRo,FMi)
The \varnothing and \emptyset do show the wrong
character, ie need exchanging.
-* Page 220 (DCa)
{ should be \{
} should be \}
-* Page 220, Table 8.13. (LLa)
Is that \digamma right? It looks an awful lot like a slanted
F to me.
This is unfortunately true. The Lucida Fonts do not contain that
character and we overlooked that the font setup simply points to the
slanted F.
-* Page 222, Table 8.20 (FMi)
The characters \Game \Finv \Bbbk \diagdown \diagup are now part of
amssymb.sty
-* Page 231 (DCa)
The \biggl( in the scope of \begin{large} is *smaller* than the
normalsize one!
-* Page 238 (DCa)
The examples of split environment with and without the ctagsplt
option do not work as the linewidth is too narrow, so in both cases
the tag apears on the line before the display.
-* Page 241 (PHa)
The typeset equation just before (8.41') should have a tag: '
(This is once more a printer problem. the tag ' is in the PS file
