Subject: Landscape / multicolumn output
Date: Fri, 02 Oct 92 00:56:00 GMT
Organization: The University of Calgary, Alberta

Does anyone know how to get three or more column output using
LaTeX?  I'd like to print a brochure with 3 columns, set in
landscape orientation on the page.  I know dvips can do landscape
(-t landscape or some such -- no problem), but would like to know
if anyone has made up a style file for 3 or more column output?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am assuming you are using System 7 from the explanation you gave
(Richard) and what Rolf says is true if ou have an option with the
software on the Mac to save the file as Encapsulated PostScript.
However many Mac applications rely on the print driver to add the
necessary macros to generate a printable/previewable PostScript file.

You also did not indicate what dvi->PostScript driver you are using
and so the information I will give will work for dvips (Tom Rokicki).

What I have found to work is the following if you do not have
the option to save as an Encapsulated PostScript file:

1. Delete all the lines between and including

   %%BeginProcSet:
    ...
   %%EndProlog

   which removes the LaserPrep System 7 file (the macros for that
   application)

   You may also need to look at/change the %%Boundingbox: information.

2. Now to include this is your LaTeX file as an example:


   \documentstyle {article}
   \input{psfig}
   \special{header=lprep71.uofd}
   \begin{document}

   \begin{figure}
   \begin{center}
   \psfig{figure=filename.ps}
   \end{center}
   \caption{This is the caption}
   \end{figure} 

   \end{document} 


or

   \documentstyle [epsf] {article} 
   \special{header=lprep71.uofd}
   \begin{document}

   \begin{figure}
   \begin{center}
   \epsffile{filename.ps}
   \end{center}
   \caption{This is the caption}
   \end{figure} 

   \end{document} 

   I have found that if you are printing to an Apple LaserWriter NTX,
   then you must use the psfig macros, otherwise you can use epsf macros
   that are part of dvips.


3. You need to get the lprep71.uofd or lprep71.pro (same file).  There
   is also documentation (tmPostScript.tex) and examples available.

     I would like to thank the following people for replying to my question
about underlining in TeX.  Your help had been very valuable, especially so
close to the paper's due date.

   Mr. Donald Arseneau (asnd@erich.triumf.ca)

   Mr. George Greenwade (bcd_gdg@shsu.edu)
   Mr. James W. Chrissis (jchrissi@afit.af.mil)

     I also would like to explain why I especially wanted to do underlining
in TeX while there are other (better) options, such as italicizing,
slanting, bolding, etc.  The reason is very simple, that is, my instructor
wants all papers to be uniform so even though in my opinion italicizing the
text is much better than underlining it, she still would not accept it.

     In any case, at least now I have a macro that does decent text
underlining, thanks to Mr. Donald Arseneau.

The problem is not the "{" per se. Rather, the "text" after the "\bf" is
what starts the paragraph, being the first letter that comes along. Since
this "text" is inside a group, the \everypar gets executed inside a group,
and so its effect is local.

I suspect changing the definition to

   \everypar{\global\hangindent=10 ex \global\hangafter=0}

will have the desired effect, but I haven't checked it. (Note that of
course this screws up paragraphs in nested environments.)

The other alternative is never to start a paragraph inside a group, perhaps
by starting such paragraphs with a \leavevmode instead.

The system in question was developed by the Computer Technology Institite

As far as I know it is an adaptation of Multilingual TeX. I had brought

Organization: Info-Tex<==>Comp.Text.Tex Gateway
X-Gateway-Source-Info: Mailing List

Hi,

I like the idea of mfpic but ran into a minor problem
when using MakeTeXPK: assuming that you do not want the .tfm/.mf
files in your global macro/input/tfm directories, since they belong
to the specific document as pictures, the logical step would be to
keep them in the current directory with the main tex-document.
However, even though you can include . in your TEX/MF search paths,
MakeTeXPK does a cd $TEMPDIR, so the search in the current directory is
in vain.
Solution:

|  # added by gwb, to allow searching in current dir before cd'ing  |
|  MFINPUTS=${MFINPUTS}`pwd`; export MFINPUTS                       |
|  cd $TEMPDIR                                                      |

This means that dvips will automatically generate the required pk
files, even with the tfm/mf/gf files in the current directory.

Since you don't have a compiler, perhaps you should get a compiled version.
dvips 5.490 for OS/2 2.0 was done by Sinha, and is available on
ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/emtex/.  An OS/2 1.3 and MSDOS archive will
soon be available in pub/os2/all/emtex or ./emtex/utils. I made this file
from Sinha's files. Sinha's archive is needed in addition to my zip file.

ftp-os2 has been swamped by uploads. I uploaded dvips some time ago, but
it is still in the queue for processing.

The emtex distribution site does have dvips (5.47?), and I have seen 
another MSDOS announcement for 5.490 (I may be able to find this).

.c is C-source, .1 means docs in troff form (can be formatted with groff).

This is, as far as I can recall, not a bug, but a feature.

If you're using the dvitps that has a -C option, i.e. generate standard
PostScript, that should do the trick.

No, this is not quite correct.  When a document is printed 2-up it means
that two 'logical' pages are printed on one 'physical' page.  So, for
example, if you wanted to print a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 booklet on plain
8 1/2 x 11 paper folded in half, you would probably reorder the pages
(1,10,2,9,3,8,etc.) and print them 2-up, so that page 1 and 10 appear side
by side.  (Actually, maybe you'd order them 1, 10, 9, 2, 3, 8, and print
2-up/2-sided :-)).  

If you print something 100-up that means one hundred logical pages on one
printed page . . . i.e., "thumbnail sketches".
