Subject: When does TeX use ^^X notation?
Organization: none
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 03:13:55 GMT

This may be a simple question, but I couldn't find the answer in
a reasonably careful search of The TeXbook.  How does TeX decide
which characters to convert to the "^^X" notation in a \write
or \message operation?  I was working on a macro that needed to
read part of a file verbatim and write it off to another file for
later processing.  One of the characters I wanted read and written
was the ASCII tab character.  I catcoded tabs to 12 ("other"), and
TeX read them as expected but wrote them out as "^^I".  Since
the files that TeX is writing may need to be processed by other
programs than TeX, I'd really prefer to have TeX write an actual
tab character.  Is there a way I can get it to do that (without
editing the TeX source and re-compiling)?  A table of codes (similar
to delcodes, sfcodes, catcodes, and the like) that I can modify?
I know that DEK foresaw the use of certain "control characters" as
special input characters in national TeX variants (I'm thinking
of the example of the "ae" character input as a single character
on a Norwegian keyboard, as described on page 45 of The TeXbook).
It puzzles me to think that he meant TeX to be able to *read* the
control sequence "\saertrykk" (with "ae" as a single letter) but
intended TeX only to be able to *write* "\s^^Zrtrykk".  What controls
this?  Any pointers would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance--

I did one, which you can find (under the name ACM.STY) in the archives
on YMIR.CLARKSON.EDU (and probably elsewhere).  You should also get the
ACM.BST bibliography style from the same source.

Note:  You should read the comments at "FONTS" and "DIMENSION OF TEXT" for
some important information.

There is at least one other ACM style file, which I've never seen (though
I've seen many papers created using it).

It runs on both.  Only the previewer, dvipm, explicitly needs OS/2.
Dvippm is an excellent previewer, a good reason to switch from DOS to
OS/2 if you have a high res graphics adapter.

Only a bit of experience, and it was a bit of a disappointment.
Mainly because it is only stretch and I had to add some shrink in 
\rightskip.

The maximum sensible value for \emergencystretch is easy to calculate.  
Since its function is to make very underfull lines still have finite 
badness, you want 

100*(\hsize / \emergencystretch)^3 < 10000, 

so use 

\emergencystretch=.22\hsize

This setting might give more raggedness in the spacing in some instances, 
because the natural glue of each line is probably much less than this.
Thus a line with two long words words and a line with ten short words
will try to stretch the same amount.  A particular document may never
need \emergencystretch=.22\hsize and may look better with a smaller value.
Here is my prescription to choose that value:

Start with \emergencystretch=.22\hsize.

Fix any badness=10000 paragraphs by other means (there may be none)

(If desired) reduce \emergencystretch until the worst paragraph
has badness in the 9000 range.

vanilla is Spivak's early AmS-TeX-like macro package. I doubt that you can
use it with LaTeX. On the other hand, there is nothing that vanilla provides
which cannot be easily done in LaTeX or AMS-LaTeX or AMS-TeX. vanilla
shipped with early versions of PCTeX (a MSDOS version of TeX, commercial).
vanilla is most likely freely distributale. Check the tex-index from 
DM Jones (everyone needs a copy of this excellent index--we would have many
fewer questions on this group if folks would just get the FAQs and tex-index).

Please elaborate.

If you mean that the standard Roman LaserWriter PostScript fonts (Times,
Bookman, Palatino, New Century Schoolbook) are poorer than Computer Modern
I tend to agree with you, in particular if you use a phototypesetter for
the final copy.

Do yourself a favor and check out Janson, Caslon, New Century, or one of
the Garamonds. Those are real fonts for real books. If you still prefer
Computer Modern then that's a matter of taste and I won't discuss that.

I've read the FAQ and FAQ supplement; my question isn't addressed there.
It goes like this:  I'm trying to read some documentation on a tool; I'm not
a user of Tex where I try to develop my own docs.  I ran into files with
extensions like .tex., .info, .dvi, .texinfo, ....  So I asked questions
around work; some people knew it was all related to Tex, but nobody here
seems to use it.  So I was sent to this news group.  What I need is a simple
intro doc(s) in text format that tell me about file format conversion, the 
tools to use, the converters, viewers, etc., a basic how-to-get-started-for-
the-casual-user.  This would be a good FAQ; I'm sure it's been asked before me.

Thnx.

Well, if there was an approved standard for \specials I might agree with
you.  But then everyone has their favourite \specials, that `any good DVI
driver should support'. How about hyper text linkage - does your favourite
DVI previewer implement it?  Basically, what you think are \specials that
any `good' driver should support, is simply a function of what driver you
are using at the moment.  And DVI driver authors are notorious for refusing
to implement each others protocols.

The format of \special in my original message violates even the most basic
rules that one might want \specials to obey (as suggested by Beebe Nelson),
namely that they use key value pairs (as suggested by DEK), and that they
have a distinguishing marker so one can tell what driver they are meant for
--- as opposed to say random raw PostScript, or the name of a PostScript
file to be inserted, or whatever.  If they started with `tpic:' say, I
would not have had to post the original query.  DVIALW is very well behaved
in that respect.  If DVI driver authors agree on not using \specials
designed by anyone else, then maybe they should also agree on at least
labelling their creations so it makes it easy for the user to figure out what
driver some DVI file is meant for...

  Try doing a large document on a last-generation workstation.  I don't care

one page, so I argue that the speed to TeX a document is an important part
of the convenience.  Here are my results for my "TeX benchmark" which

I have managed to tweak dvidvi to sort the pages correctly in order
to print a5 booklets on duplex printers. But my solution is quite
dirty. I had to introduce two extra switches

    -s  sides per sheet
    -p  page step between each new sheet

in order to get it to work. Thinking about it afterwards it seems
like the modulo parameter should do the work of the '-p' switch.
Anyhow, if someone wants to beta-test my dvidvi version, and perhaps
do some rewriting of my changes, I'll be most happy to send him the
program.

It is the same with any cammand that relies on changing \catcodes.
Categories are assigned as the characters are read in.  Any macro
of the form 

\def\macro#1{change catcodes; do something with #1}

reads its parameter BEFORE changing catcodes, so the old codes are
applied.

The solution is to use two macros, changing catcodes in the first
and reading the parameter with the second:

\def\macro{\begingroup change catcodes \Macro}
\def\Macro#1{do something with #1\endgroup}

Do you know about Yannis Haralambous' MacDVICopy, which converts a dvi file
with vfs to one without?
