Thanks, - --Wei ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Sep 1994 17:30:30 -0000 From: DEVANS@lynx.colorado.edu Subject: underlining I know that the TeXbook says that the best way to do underlining is to build a new font, but for my purposes that seems like overkill. On the other hand, all my simple macros to produce underlined text fail to produce the correct results. What I want is something like: \underline{This text should be underlined, but the space characters contained in the text should be left without underlines} This seems like it ought to be simple, and it probably is, but I can't get a macro to do what I want. Anyone out there who can give me some help?

Thus I sat down yesterday evening and wrote it myself (that's The True Trouble with TeX: it's too much fun wasting your time by hacking up cutee little macros :-). Anyway, you can get it from crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de:pub/ohl/mcite and (hopefully) soon from a CTAN site near you. This LaTeX2e package provides support for collapsing multiple citations into one, as custumoary in physics journals. For example \cite{foo1,*foo2,bar} will combine the BibTeX entries foo1 and foo2 into a single \bibitem. Obviously, the non-trivial point is that it works with BibTeX. See mcite.dtx for more detailed documentation.

It is still lame, compared to the amazing Seminar package. V1.0 of seminar.sty works with LaTeX2e in compatibility mode, but I have finally added a seminar.cls that works in LaTeX2e's native mode. This is a minimal modification of seminar.sty, not a new version. The new distribution is called V1.0e. If you already have v1.0, the only new files you need are seminar.cls semhelv.sty semlcmss.sty from Princeton.EDU:/pub/tvz/seminar/inputs You can also get the entire package (which still includes seminar.sty and still works with LaTeX 2.09). Let me know about any problems. Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz for making the necessary changes.

This is a LaTeX2e document class, derived from seminar.sty v1.0 by Sebastian Rahtz. If you already have have seminar.sty v1.0e, then all you need are this read-me file plus these files from the inputs directory: seminar.cls semhelv.sty semlcmss.sty USING SEMINAR WITH LATEX2E: !!! YOU MUST BE USING A LATEX2E RELEASED AFTER 19 FEBRUARY 1994 You can either use seminar.sty in compatibility mode: \documentstyle{seminar} Or use the seminar.cls document class: \documentclass{seminar} Unless you are using other macros that only work in compatibility mode, you might as well use the document class. You can use the following options with \documentclass{seminar}: article slidesonly notes notesonly notesonly* noxcomment portrait a4 semhelv semlcmss semlayer semrot semcolor slidesec NOTE: Use `a4', not `sem-a4'. `seminar.cls' is a minimal modification of seminar.sty. The next release will take advantage of more of LaTeX2e's special capabilities.

Berry" Subject: modes 2.1 available I have released version 2.1 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/modes.mf and shortly from the ctan sites in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-2.1.mf. finger ctan_us@ftp.shsu.edu for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors. You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!) file server if you cannot ftp: email fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of `sendme modes'. News: No new modes, but I've added landscape definitions for all the devices with meaningfully nonsquare aspect ratios, named as the primary device with an `l' appended. Some primary names were changed to be shorter as a result, but the old names are still there as synonyms. I've also been told that `ljfour' is suitable for the Apple Select 360, and that the Xerox 4050 mode works for the Xerox 4700, so that information is included. It's generally of no use to mail me about devices not in modes.mf; everything I know about is described therein. It also includes lots of text about how to create a new mode_def, etc. General information: modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c) or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I can't decipher mf.web well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it. If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition, particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome. kb@cs.umb.edu mode_def agfafzz = % AGFA 400PS mode_def amiga = % Commodore Amiga mode_def aps = % Autologic APS-Micro5 mode_def apssixhi = % Autologic APS-Micro6 mode_def atariezf = % Atari ST SLM 804 printer mode_def atarinf = % Atari 95dpi previewer mode_def atarins = % Atari 96x96 previewer mode_def atariotf = % Atari ST SM 124 screen mode_def bitgraph = % BBN Bitgraph at 118dpi mode_def bjtenex = % Canon BubbleJet 10ex mode_def boise = % HP 2680A mode_def canonex = % CanonEX in LaserWriter Pro 630 mode_def canonlbp = % e.g., Symbolics LGP-10 mode_def cg = % Compugraphic 8600 mode_def cgl = % Compugraphic 8600 landscape mode_def cgnszz = % Compugraphic 9600 mode_def crs = % Alphatype CRS mode_def cx = % Canon CX, SX, LBP-LX mode_def datadisc = % DataDisc mode_def newdd = % DataDisc with special aspect ratio mode_def declarge = % DEC 19-inch, 1280 x 1024 mode_def decsmall = % DEC 17-inch, 1024 x 768 mode_def deskjet = % HP DeskJet 500 mode_def docutech = % Xerox 8790 or 4045 mode_def dover = % Xerox Dover mode_def epsdrft = % Epson at 120x72dpi mode_def epsdrftl = % Epson at 120x72dpi landscape mode_def epsfast = % Epson at 60x72dpi mode_def epsfastl = % Epson at 60x72dpi landscape mode_def epson = % 9-pin Epson MX/FX family mode_def epsonl = % 9-pin Epson MX/FX family landscape mode_def epsonact = % Epson Action Laser 1500 mode_def epsonlo = % Epson at 120x216dpi mode_def epsonlol = % Epson at 120x216dpi landscape mode_def gtfax = % 204 x 196dpi G3fax mode_def gtfaxl = % 204 x 196dpi G3fax landscape mode_def gtfaxlo = % 204 x 98dpi G3fax mode_def gtfaxlol = % 204 x 98dpi G3fax landscape mode_def hprugged = % HP RuggedWriter 480 mode_def ibm_a = % IBM 38xx (\#1) mode_def ibmd = % IBM 38xx (\#2) mode_def ibmega = % IBM EGA monitor mode_def ibmegal = % IBM EGA monitor landscape mode_def ibmfzon = % IBM 4019 mode_def ibmfztn = % IBM 4029-30, 4250 mode_def ibmpp = % IBM ProPrinter mode_def ibmppl = % IBM ProPrinter landscape mode_def ibmsoff = % IBM 6154 display mode_def sherpa = % IBM 6670 (Sherpa) mode_def ibmteot = % IBM 3812 mode_def ibmtetz = % IBM 3820 mode_def ibmtont = % IBM 3193 screen mode_def ibmtosn = % IBM 3179 screen mode_def ibmtosnl = % IBM 3179 screen landscape mode_def ibmvga = % IBM VGA monitor mode_def ibx = % Chelgraph IBX mode_def itoh = % CItoh 8510A mode_def itohl = % CItoh 8510A landscape mode_def itohtoz = % CItoh 310 mode_def itohtozl = % CItoh 310 landscape mode_def iw = % Apple ImageWriter mode_def jetiiisi = % HP Laser Jet IIISi mode_def lasf = % DEC LA75 mode_def linolo = % Linotype Linotronic [13]00 at 635dpi mode_def linoone = % Linotype Linotronic [13]00 at 1270dpi mode_def linotzzh = % Linotype Linotronic 300 at 2540dpi mode_def ljfour = % 600dpi HP LaserJet 4 mode_def ljlo = % HP LaserJet at 150dpi mode_def lmaster = % 1000dpi LaserMaster mode_def lnzo = % DEC LN01 mode_def lps = % DEC LPS40 mode_def lpstz = % DEC lps20 mode_def lqlores = % Epson LQ-500, 180x180dpi mode_def lqmed = % Epson LQ-500, 360x180dpi mode_def lqmedl = % Epson LQ-500, 360x180dpi landscape mode_def lview = % Sigma L-View monitor mode_def macmag = % Mac screens at magstep 1 mode_def mactrue = % Mac screens at 72dpi mode_def ncd = % NCD 19-inch mode_def nec = % NEC mode_def nechi = % NEC-P6 at 360x360dpi mode_def nexthi = % NeXT 400dpi, Newgen mode_def nextscrn = % 100dpi NeXT monitor mode_def nullmode = % TFM files only mode_def ocessfz = % OCE 6750-PS mode_def okidata = % Okidata mode_def okidatal = % Okidata landscape mode_def pcscreen = % also, e.g., high-resolution Suns mode_def phaser = % Tektronix Phaser PXi mode_def prntware = % Printware 720IQ mode_def qms = % QMS (Xerox engine) mode_def qmsostf = % QMS 1725 mode_def qmsoszz = % QMS 1700 mode_def ricoh = % e.g., TI Omnilaser mode_def ricoha = % e.g., IBM 4216 mode_def ricohlp = % e.g., DEC LN03 mode_def sparcptr = % Sun SPARCprinter mode_def starnlt = % Star NL-10 mode_def starnltl = % Star NL-10 landscape mode_def sun = % Sun and BBN Bitgraph at 85dpi mode_def supre = % Ultre*setter at 2400dpi mode_def toshiba = % Toshiba 13XX, EpsonLQ mode_def ultre = % Ultre*setter at 1200dpi mode_def vs = % VAXstation monitor mode_def vtftzz = % Varityper 4200 B-P mode_def vtftzzhi = % Varityper 4300P at 2400dpi mode_def vtftzzlo = % Varityper 4300P at 1200dpi mode_def vtfzszw = % Varitype 5060W, APS 6 mode_def vtszz = % Varityper Laser 600 mode_def xrxesnz = % Xerox 8790 or 4045 mode_def xrxfzfz = % Xerox 4050/4075/4090/4700 mode_def xrxnszz = % Xerox 9700 mode_def xrxtszz = % Xerox 3700 ------------------------------ About TeXhax...
