Announcement TeX90 Conference (English)

keywords:
TUG conference, Cork
abstract:
The 1990 TeX meeting in Europe is the fifth such conference organised since 1985. It also breaks new ground as the first to be a TeX Users Group (TUG) meeting outside North America. The TeX computer typesetting program is now widely established as the de facto standard in scientific, educational and commercial use for the setting of documents requiring very high standards of typographic control, particularly technical documents, and for applications where high quality, portability and device-independence are of importance.

The Development of National LaTeX styles (English)

21.pdf (48kb)
keywords:
LaTeX, national styles
abstract:
In its autumn 1988 meeting, the Dutch TeX users group (NTG) established a working group (number 13) that was to concentrate on the problems involved in the use of TeX for Dutch texts. Since then the working group, which includes the authors, has created a number of style options for LaTeX that remedy some common problems with the non-English use of LaTeX, and is on its way developing document styles that are compatible with the standard styles, but have a layout that is more palatable for Dutch users. In this article we treat implementation aspects of the styles and style options, and we discuss some matters of layout.

Unusual paragraph shapes (English)

keywords:
paragraph shapes
abstract:
Although the TeXbook states that TeX's paragraph mechanism `can be harnessed to a surprising variety of tasks', the strangest paragraph shapes that I have implement use no feature of the line-breaking algorithm. Instead, I have found that the control sequences \everypar and \lastbox are extremely powerful tools. I give three examples of this.

Teaching TeX: Critics & LaTeX proposal (English)
MAPS 4, 1990, 77-82
25.pdf (56kb)
keywords:
education, courseware, modules
abstract:
Some critics — mainly LaTeX based — on the approach are given: TeXnically driven instead of result driven. Also is notified the omission of a general pedagogical method to be used. Furthermore, it is urged to have unified courseware. A set of LaTeX courses is proposed. No test set is included. The underlying idea of having TUG certified courses world-wide is strongly endorsed.

Wat is TeX? (Dutch)
MAPS 4, 1990, 83-88
26.pdf (48kb)
abstract:
In de huidige tijd van WYSIWYG `desktop publishing' systemen lijkt het vreemd een systeem te propageren met honderden, vaak ingewikkelde, instructies. Wat het tekstopmaaksysteem TeX desondanks aantrekkelijk maakt, is het feit dat het programmeerbaar is: de basisinstructies kunnen worden samengevoegd tot zeer gecompliceerde instructies die een eenmaal ontworpen opmaak geheel automatisch feilloos reproduceren. Hierdoor hoeft de gebruiker uitsluitend nog de structuur van het document aan te geven en niet de vormgeving, het uiterlijk, ervan. Met deze gedachte sluit TeX nauw aan bij recente ontwikkelingen in de uitgeverswereld omtrent SGML.
