This is nothing wrong with this approach.'' There is very definitely something wrong with this approach: it makes the possibly incorrect assumption that the previous font was {\bf \bs rm}. Because electronic text is likely to be edited and reused, such assumptions should be strictly avoided. \erritem{p. 151, l. 19} \erratum{ $16,384 \ldots{} -16,384$ }{ $2,147,483,647 \ldots{} -2,147,483,647$ } \erritem{p. 153, l. 12} \erratum{ fog bank cover }{ fog bank would cover } \noindent See the input example on l.~5. \erritem{p. 162, l. 17} The text shows output examples with \verb|\hangafter = 3| and \verb|\hangafter = -3|, but the text only has two output lines, so the effect cannot be seen. \erritem{p. 177, l. 12} \erratum{ $16,384 \ldots{} -16,384$ }{ $2,147,483,647 \ldots{} -2,147,483,647$ } \erritem{p. 265, l. 1} \erratum{ Matrixes }{ Matrices } \erritem{p. 266, l. 19, 21} \erratum{ Matrixes }{ Matrices } \erritem{p. 296, l. -4, -1} \erratum{ This box is 1in wider than normal. }{ This box has normal width. } \erritem{p. 297, l. 2, 3} \erratum{ .75in \ldots{} 0.25in }{ 0.75in \ldots{} 0.25in } \noindent The text is inconsistent in its use of a leading zero. \erritem{p. 347, l. -2} \erratum{ An better marker }{ A better marker } \erritem{p. 354, l. -10} \erratum{ }{ {\tt<}To Be Read Again{\tt>} } \erritem{p. 355, l. } \erratum{ }{ {\tt<}Inserted Text{\tt>} } \end{errata} \end{document}
