Hi there!
	I wanted to know how to rotate text in latex?
i.e. instead of getting a 8.5" X 11" printout I want
to get 11" X 8.5" one. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks ...

I vaguely recall someone mentioning that someone else had
written a version of xdvi (patches to the existing xdvi?)
which would allow xdvi to do anti-aliasing of characters
on an 8-bit screen to give better resolution.

Has anyone heard of this and know where I can get it?

Thanks for any info

Hello everybody!

I have got the following problem. I think I could be able to solve it if I only
had more time. But now I'm so busy that I have to ask you:

Let's suppose that I have in -let's say - boxmybox  some picture. And I would
like the text to continue around the picture on the right side. If the text
around the picture was only 1 paragraph, there's no problem - hangafter and
hangindent. But what should I do if the text consists of many paragraphs?
(Suppose that the picture is 20 cm high and 5 cm wide - it makes no sense
to let it on the page alone. So I must use something like twocolumn - but
I don't know exactly what amount of text will fit in the narrower part
of the page). The solution may be LaTeX/PlainTeX - never mind. And I don't
need to use it in twocolumn, so one column solution is also enogh.

Thank you all very much in advance.

I recall seeing this question posted before but I have lost the reply.
I would like to change the default size (in report.sty) of the
chapter, section, subsection etc headings in my document. Unfortunately
my University thesis regulations don't like the large bold headers and
want them a lot smaller.

I've tried looking in the rep12,sty file and making some adjustments,
but it doesn't want to cooperate!
 
Please could someone help me with this simple but frustrating problem.

Also, when I run my version of dvips (dvilaser/ps IBM-PC version 3.0.0)
it crashes and says that it cant find the file "dvips.fnt". Does anyone
know where I can get hold of a copy of this file?
P.S. I am using a pc, but I do have access to latex on the UNIX mainframe
as well as ftp etc.
     
Thanks again,

for a while I've been annoyed at LaTeX's \underline command, 
mainly because \underline{mine} and \underline{yours} will
come out with the underline substantially lower on the latter
example.  when it came time for my resume, it got truly 
annoying -- the lines alternated between high and low.

so I took half an hour out this afternoon and wrote the
following, \under.  it'll take any text that you give it and
underline it, as per usual, but with the assumption that the
text does have a tail.  everything will be underline lower 
down.

I hope someone out there finds it useful, all that I can say
is that the resume looks a lot better now that it's uniform.

(one other comment:  the amount that it's shifted down by was
tested with 10pt \normalsize and \Huge; the calculation is
done using ex, so it should be universal.  however, if anyone
does find problems with it, I'd appreciate your letting me
know)

The positioning of the  \label  *within* the  \begin{table} ... \end{table}
is important.  To quote from the \LaTeX{}book, p.~72:
	Since there can be several captions in a  figure  or
	  table  environment,  \caption  works like a sectioning
	command within the environment, with the  \label  command
	going either after the  \caption  command or in its
	argument.
If you do this it should work ok.

Subject: Virtual fonts - what are they?
Date: 10 Apr 92 11:10:08 GMT
Organization: Edinburgh University

I recently installed dvips, and it seems to work very well.  The
manual mentions that PostScript fonts can be used, via virtual
fonts.  Can someone explain to me exactly what virtual fonts are and
what advantages there are to doing it this way rather than just
specifying a mapping between the TeX fonts and PostScript fonts, so
that, for example, when the DVI file says to use cmr10, dvips
generates PostScript to switch to Times-Roman scaled to 10 point?

The version of TeX we're running announces itself with "This is TeX,
C Version 3.14t3" - will this version support virtual fonts?

On a related note, I think I understand what the various font files
TeX uses are - tfm just contain information on the character sizes
etc, gf, pk and pxl are different forms of character bitmap files.
Is this correct?

Thanks

Yep, if you look carefully, \footnote will only work inside paragraph
mode, and won't work inside a box (except within MINIPAGE). Fortunately
the solution is dead easy, first put

        \footnotemark

where you want the mark inside the table, and then as soon as you've
got back into normal paragraph mode (like immediately after your table):

        \footnotetext{ <this is the missing footnote text> }

You don't even need to worry about the footnote counters, good old
LaTeX increments them correctly. If only ALL questions had such a 
clean solution.....

Share and Enjoy....

The wording of your request seems to indicate that you're using LaTeX,
but let me sing a little song of praise for Lamstex anyway. This macro
package has every conceivable numbering scheme easily available, in
addition to producing much more esthetically pleasing output than the
usual LaTeX styles. Lamstex contains AMSTeX, and like AMSTeX is almost
100% compatible with plain tex commands. Its treatment of commutative
diagrams is by far the best of any package that I've seen. In
addition, it contains all the usual numbering, crossreferencing etc.
features of LaTeX, but generally more powerful and flexible versions.
It is also compatible with BibTeX.

Stein 

Disclaimer: 
A happy Lamstex user myself, I have an interest in promoting the use
of the package in general. Only if there is a significant group of
Lamstex users can we expect further improvements and more style files.

Date: 10 Apr 92 21:08:01 GMT
Article-I.D.: bsu-ucs.1992Apr10.160801.6105

Hi folks,

I may be looking for a printer (company, that is not device) who can 
print nice looking copies of documents that I have constructed and
tested on a 300dpi (normal resolution) laser printer.  That is, I want
someone to whom I can send .dvi files and get back a 1000dpi or better
printed copy of my document.  Another requirement that may narrow the
choices is that I will have to send them some Metafont sources for
unusual faces that will be needed in addition to Computer Modern. 
This is for the Journal of Southeast Asian Language Teaching, so in
particular, I will need IPA and Thai fonts at least, and by the time
we really get into this big-time, I hope to have at least Khmer,
Burmese and Lao fonts prepared also.  (I am learning Metafont and
trying to design them at the same time.)  I don't expect that very
many printing companies have such things lying around already.

So far, the journal has been produced using a DEC LN03 300dpi laser
printer, but the editorial board would like to improve the quality, if
it is feasible.

All of this means we will be needing to deal with a comparatively
knowledgeable outfit, and since we are located in Muncie IN rather
than in some major metropolis, I expect that we will have to deal with
them by mail and phone.  I would really like to hear from anybody who
has had any relevant experience.  I need any recommendations I can
get.

If you are a printer who fits that description, I would be happy to
hear from you directly too.

Whoa!  Darrel's & Berthold's ideas for a hypertext previewer send me giddy,
but was the original question reaching so far?

If a command line solution is adequate, ie interactive highlighting isn't
needed, then how about a DVI processor?

	process -highlight "very important text" THAT.DVI | preview

Two reasons why this is feasible:

1.  EmTeX's previewer, "dviscr", already searches for text.
2.  After looking at the DVI standard, level 0, draft 0.5,
	the idea _looks_ readily feasible.

One reason why I boobooed:

3.  If the standard input comes from the DVI processor's output stream,
	then where do the user's instructions go?

Two ways to do this:

Subject: Re: LaTeX symbol references?

  I guess I wasn't very clear in my first posting.  I am currently
setting up EmTeX on my home computer, but I haven't got the money to
purchase any TeX or LaTeX reference guides.  What I am looking for is
a on-line reference to the LeTeX commands.  
  The commands I am interested in are the formatting and math
commands.  All the math symbols and their codes (such as /alpha,
/beta, /geq, etc...)  As well as a list of the text formatting
commands (/bf, /HUGE, etc...)  Just a TeX based document of all these
codes would suffice  I hope this clears things up a little bit.
