Subject: Subsubsection title in report's table of contents
Summary: subsubsection captions are not printed in report's table of contents
Keywords: LaTeX, .toc, subsection
Date: 19 Aug 92 23:31:27 GMT
Organization: University of Pennsylvania

For some reason, LaTeX would not insert subsubsection titles in the table of
contents of a report-style document.  This happens even though the title of the
subsubsection is included in the .toc file as follows:

\contentsline {chapter}{\numberline {1}Introduction}{1}
\contentsline {section}{\numberline {1.1}Objectives}{1}
\contentsline {section}{\numberline {1.2}Methods}{5}
\contentsline {subsubsection}{First Method}{12}
\contentsline {subsubsection}{Second Method}{13}

On the page, only the chapter and section titles get printed.

I tried to explicitly use an \addcontentsline in the .tex file, but to no
avail.

Any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: dynamic parbox in tabular env - is it possible?
Organization: Rechnerbetrieb Informatik  /  RWTH Aachen
Date: 13 Aug 92 06:09:37 GMT

I would like to have a table (created with tabular environment) with
one (or maybe more than one parbox) columns (p{...}). The width of this
(or these) parbox columns, however, should not be fixed but rather be
dynamically adjusted to the space not used by the other columns.
For example, with textwidth 15cm, \begin{tabular}{|l|p{***}|}, and
the longest entry for the left column being 5cm long, *** should be
automatically set to 10cm (minus the space needed for separating the
columns, of course). Is anything like that possible?

I've been trying to use the subfigure style, but I'm running into some
problems; here's my little tex file:

\documentstyle[subfig,12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
Refer to \ref{fig:a} and \ref{fig:b} \ref{fig:c}

\vspace{0.5in}

\subfigure[]Subfigure 3

\caption{The Main Caption}

\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{document}


Now, the output looks like so:

		(b)
		Sub-

	Subfigure 3

What I'd like to get (and centered) is:

(a) Subfigure 1

(b) Subfigure 2

(c) Subfigure 3

Figure 1: The Main Caption


If anyone is familiar with this style, please let me know
how to handle this.

I'm also a bit confused about where I should put my \vspace{1.0in}
etc.; should they be below or above the \subfigure command?

Thanks for your help.

Howdy,

I couldn't find this in the FAQ, so...

Does xtex work with postscript fonts?  For example, if I create
a LaTeX document with bookman.sty, can I display the dvi
file using xtex?  If so, what do I need to do?

Running: 

tex 3.14t3
X11R5
xtex 2.18.5

Thanks for any help.

Earlier today I posted a query and answer about a Blackboard Bold

{\rm 1\mskip-4.5mu l} {\rm 1\mskip-5mu l}}}

I now have need of this within AMSLaTeX which accepts it but lays
the extra line over as if it was in italics when I use it in a maths
expression while:

\sf\bf\Large

is in operation.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this. The macro may be alright as
I could be misinterpreting the rules for the use of NFSS which I
am using for the first time. What I want is the use of \sf\bf for
all text in \large, \Large and \LARGE and maths of the same size in
standard cmr math italic.

But now I am using NFSS with LaTeX 2.09 which works fine on all my other  
documents that don't have explicity reference to \xipt etc.  Being a  
novice at setting up fonts in TeX (the NFSS setup took me awhile), what  
sequence should I convert the xipt etc to in order to map them into the  
NFSS sequences for LaTeX?  I am using psfonts.sty that comes with David  
Jones's psfonts package.  This sets up the fonts with the proper x spacing  
and all.  All I have to include is David Jone's times.sty (not Tom Rick  
and dvips) to get times fonts.  How do I do the mapping!

It is possible to bring over ArabTeX to the Macintosh and use it there under
OzTeX. However, for using it under Textures, the fonts have to be adapted
to the bitmap format required by Textures. This seems to be possible
by a metafont program for the Macintosh supplied by Blue Sky Research
and possibly also by some public domain metafont program for the Mac.

I wonder if anybody has prepared Arabtex fonts for Textures in this way
and if he or she is willing to make these fonts available in some archive.

My publisher suddenly decided that they want the camera ready document in
14 point font, rather than 12 point, so that they can shrink it even
smaller during reproduction. 

My problem now is: How can I get my fonts to be in 14 point? I am basically
using a mocked up version of the springer style file smva.sty, plus 12pt on
the report.sty. The ideal thing would be if there were a 14pt option file
that would work well in conjunction with report.sty. 

In case there is no such option file available, is there an easy
understandable procedure to produce such a file, based on the 12pt option?

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Thomas.

My HP DeskJet 500 prints my thesis at an average of 35 seconds per
page, which ranks right up with supposed 4ppm cheap laser printers
(which I find typically can't print anything but blank pages in 15
seconds).

And the DeskJet is certainly no noisier than a laser printer!

Plus, no obnoxious fumes.

And print quality really is 300 dpi on the DeskJet.

To be fair, there is one downside:  You have to try different brands
of paper to find one that gives the best quality.  Laser printers
are much less fussy about the type of paper they are fed.


I have no connection to HP, I'm just a happy user.

The closest compatibility I think is AMSLaTeX with LaTeX 2.09 + NFSS.
It would be possible for almost any user to transfer .tex files from

with LaTeX 2.09 without NFSS.

[problem with tabularx]

I posted a quick fix a while ago, but you may prefer to modify the
code, as follows.

1) add {\ifnum0=`} to the start of \tabularx, so that it looks like:

% \begin{macro}{\tabularx}
% Save the first two arguments in registers, and  clear the
% token register "\toks@". Then call "\TX@get@body" to begin
% saving the body of the table.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\tabularx#1#2{{\ifnum0=`}\fi



2) Add \ifnum0=`{\fi} to the end of \TX@endtabularx, so that it looks
   like: 

% Now finish off the {\tt tabularx} environment. Note that we need
% "\end{tabularx}" here as the "\end{tabularx}" in the user's
% file is never expanded.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifnum0=`{\fi}\end{tabularx}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}

The special {\ifnum0=`} style braces are more or less explained on
page 385 of the TeX book.

I am only posting this to c.t.t to save anybody else thinking about
this, if you have further problems please email me.

If you do modify your local copy of tabularx, please modify the header
at the top of the file.

If I still think this fix is correct in a day or so, I will get the
files on the various archives changed. (archive maintainers: please do
not apply this patch yet!)

Of course a reasonable TeX implementation doesn't encounter this.
I don't think DOSTeX is even maintained anymore. emTeX, PCTeX and
$\mu$-TeX all can use EMS, leaving sbTeX as the only current TeX

I recently priced 486/50 EISAs and found that I could get the
above configuration at 8M RAM+200M HD for about $2500. Add in the
extra ram and hard disk will put one out maybe another $2500
(being generous to the vendor). Total cost for this monster
system is then, say $5000. Most people can make do with the
smaller figure but still, I'd like to know where you can get
Sparc2 Suns for $2500. Does that include niceties like an
operating system? How about availability and cost of software.
While it's what I make my living from, I do need to have more
than TeX and EMACS running on my system. But still, if Sparcs can
be had for $2500 at a non-educational price with the monster mem
and hard disk above, I might be interested in buying one
(assuming that I could find the desk space).

As for good platforms to run TeX on, Blue Sky can now get some
ridiculously large number of pages of the TeXbook processed in
one second on a Mac Quadra (it's either 4 or 40, I forget which,
but even 4 is impressive). Of course the description of a Mac
Quadra as an "ordinary everyday Macintosh" at the TUG meeting is
a bit misleading (what do _those_ go for these days).

For bang for the buck, I still think that an Amiga is probably
the best TeX platform available, although with Tom putting some
work into it, the NeXT TeX implementation might have begun to
catch up with AmigaTeX by now.

	I am interested in finding MS-DOS software to do this, hopefully
public domain.
