WK LaTeX Software Error Reports 27 November 1996 ERROR REPORTS Before you report an error please check that: * Your LaTeX system is not more than one year old. New LaTeX releases occur at 6 monthly intervals, thus your problem may have already been fixed. * The error is not already fixed by a patch added recently to the current distribution. If you have access to a CTAN archive then you can easily check whether there is already a new version or a patch that fixes your problem; so please do so. * The error is not already mentioned in the documentation of the distribution, e.g., in a .dtx file (in this case it is a feature :-). * The error is not caused by software other than the core LaTeX software that is produced and maintained by the LaTeX3 project team or by a WK LaTeX software (please report problems with other software to the authors or suppliers of that software). * The error is not caused by using an obsolete version of any file or of other software. * You are using the original version of all files, not one that has been modified elsewhere. If you think you have found a genuine bug in a recent version of a WK LaTeX software, please report it in the following way: * Prepare a *short* test file that clearly demonstrates your problem; see below for a discussion of `short'. * Run this file through latex to obtain the transcript file (often .log) since you will need to submit this file also. * Generate a bug report template by running the file latexbug.tex through LaTeX2e. * Fill in the spaces in the generated template file. * Include all necessary information, especially a complete input file, a complete transcript file, and all other files used (if they are not standard). Please check carefully to ensure that any non-standard files are essential to the bug; and remember that we cannot debug files not supplied by us. Any such non-standard files should be included in a `filecontents' environment at the start of your input file. * Please note that it is important to make the input file as short as possible since this will enable us to find and fix the error quickly. It also helps us because then we can often use it as a test file for future releases. We would expect most files to be less than 60 lines, and very rarely to be longer than 100 lines. This can often be achieved by defining a command to be some arbitrary text and using this several times if it is necessary to generate longer bits of text.
