Subject: Help wanted: underline long text
Date: 13 Dec 92 13:49:32 GMT

Hi,

I want to underline a portion of text in a paragraph.  Since the
LaTeX command \underline{text} puts the text in an hbox, this 
won't work for long text.  I know a trick to get around the problem.
For example, \underbar{this}\underbar{\ }\underbar{\will}\underbar{\ }%
\underbar{do}\underbar{\ }\underbar{the}\underbar{\ }\underbar{job}.  
However, this is very cumbersome.  Knuth wrote in the TeXbook ``If
you really want underlined text, it's best to have a special font in
which all the letters are underlined'' (page 323).  I think the command
should be something like {\ul long text}.  Could anyone tell me how to
do it?  Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Probably a typo which was never fixed in the paperback printing
plates. Barbara Beeton will likely let you know if you have money
coming for spotting this.

You likely have an older printing. By 1990, it had been included.
On the other hand my 1990 paperback has the duplicate exercise
while:

It's a joke. The source code for the TeXbook is filled with
them.

  Does anybody know if there is a way to transform a Publisher document into a 
LaTeX doc, eventually into a TeX doc ? I know tat Publisher is able to generate
LaTeX style document, but that's nearly the only knowledge I have on this tool.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

to enhance a graphical interface to BibTeX with

I'm looking for a piece of C code that compares
author names, taking in consideration all the
features of BibTeX for specifying names. The result
should be for example:
  {Herbert von Karajan} == {Karajan, Herbert von} == {von Karajan, Herbert}

Thank you

Summary: A list of some.  Others?

In support of a suggestion by a recent poster, bm2font is very handy.
It converts GIF, PCX, TIFF, LBM/IFF, CUT, BMP, IMG and raw bitmaps
to (TFM, PK) font characters.

pbm and pbmplus I have not used, but they are said to convert a very
large collection of bitmap formats to and from Portable BitMap.

Also, the emTeX drivers can preview and print TeX files with embedded
MSP graphics.

I think that the topic of graphics conversions for use with TeX merits
an overview of its own.  I've been thinking since at least March this
year, but my knowledge of names is limited to these programs:

    bm2font
    ega2mf
    fig2mf (under development)
    fplot (commercial;  hpgl to pcl)
    ghostscript (postscript to PCL, GIF, PCX, ...)
    hp2mf  (hpgl/ibm-gl to mf)
    hp2xx  (hpgl/ibm-gl to pcl, ps, ...)
    metafont  (well ...)
    metapost (under AT&T non-disclosure licence)
    mf2ps
    pbm
    pbmplus
    pcltomsp (pcl to msp, pcx;  part of emtex for the ibm pc)
    ps2mf
    ps2pk
    transfig (fig to ps, ibm-gl/hpgl, tpic, textyl, pictex, latex)
    vga2mf

Names and descriptions of others would be most welcome.

(I suppose TeX-font to TeX-font converters, such as:

    chtopx
    gftopk
    gftopxl
    pktogf
    pktopx
    pxtopk
    pxtoch

might be useful links in some conversion chains.)

All the Best!

X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]

When writing documentation for programs, I often encounter "Overfull \hbox..."
warnings because of the long identifiers that are used.  These long
identifiers almost always have underscores embedded in them.
I currently globally replace all underscores with "\discretionary{\_}{}{\_}",
which allows long identifiers to break at the underscores.

Is there a way to redefine the underscore character so that the manuscript
will not be proliferated by these ugly-looking \discretionary control
sequences, while achieving the same effect?

Many people have sent me the same solution: a style file
ulem.sty.  It will underline all the text after the \em
declaration.  For example, long text in {\em long text}
will be underlined.  This works for me.  

To retrieve this file via e-mail, include:
 SENDME STY.ULEM
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET 
(FILESERV@SHSU.edu).  For anonymous ftp retrieval, the

That's a great idea!  Since you suggested it (and obviously have the

I'd like to modify the standard letter documentstyle to produce the
Wellesley College letterhead on the first page.  Unfortunately, the
letterhead has a copy of the college seal (no, not the type that eats
fish), which is a standard sort of ridiculously classical thing that would
be impossible to do in LaTeX.

I'm vaguely aware that there are some utilities to convert graphic images
of various sorts into things useable by LaTeX, but I'm afraid that I never
paid any attention to all that because I assumed I'd never need it.   This
message is a request that any kind soul (or seal) that knows about such
things please enlighten me.

In particular, as I begin my chain of telephone calls to
administrators/copy center directors around the college, what format of
graphic image should I be seeking?  Also, after I've got it, how do I
convert it into something useable in LaTeX?  In case it matters, I can deal
with things that run on PCs, Macs, UNIX, or VMS.

All suggestions gratefully received.

True but vague; main memory is used for many different types of storage.
An alternalt example:
\def\again{\hrule\again}\again
prints endless black pages, with no overflow.  For {and again}, TeX
starts building a paragraph "and and and and and..."*.  Since TeX 
formats paragraphs with global optimization, it needs to store the
whole paragraph.  Any overly-long paragraph can cause a main memory
overflow.  An endless paragraph must.

* A restauranteur was using TeX to typeset his menus, but he used the 
Fraktur math fonts, which have zero interword space.  The result was the 
Fish and And and And and Chips were too close together.

Using \text is a very bad idea since it defined in lfonts.new the replacement
lfonts.tex loaded for the NFSS.  This then affects the definitions of
\pdollar and \ppounds which use \text.  The definitions are
%% \changes{v1.1e}{90/01/25}{Completely redefined.}
\def\${\protect\pdollar}
\def\pdollar{\text{\ifdim \fontdimen\@ne\font >\z@
              \sl \else \normalshape \fi\char`\$}}
\def\pounds{{\protect\ppounds}}
\def\ppounds{\text{\ifdim \fontdimen\@ne\font >\z@
    \it \else \fontshape u\selectfont \fi \char'44}}
%% \changes{v1.1e}{90/01/25}{Macro added.}
%% \changes{v1.1k}{90/06/23}{Changed to `mbox.}
\def\text{\mbox}

I'm not sure why \mbox needs to have an alias of \text but this is the way
it is.

Be forwarned, this caused me major grief sometime ago when a local macro
had redefined \text and then the user used math ($...$) as part of the
argument to \text.  Very messy!!

Note: this is not a problem with the original LaTeX lfonts.tex file.

Now I'd like to thank those who responded and tried to help me.
The `rotate.sty' is just good enough for my problem.

Goce.

If you want to wrap text around an arbitrarily-shaped figure, and your
LaTeX file is simple, try using LameTeX.

You can get it by anonymous ftp from wilma.cs.brown.edu:pub/lametex.tar.Z

Hi,

Does anyone know how to make a two-stack equation?  e.g. within a big curly
bracket, there are two equations, each occupying one line.  And this two-stack
equation has an autonumber associated with it.

Thanx in advance!
