Questions to be answered in the New FAQ This file contains lists of questions I have conjured up (or have had suggested to me) for inclusion in the new FAQ. I have still to do some work on scanning the content of our news spool's copy of comp.text.tex, which will probably turn up some more stuff. Questions prefixed with a + remain to be done - font encodings: what does T1 mean to me (Robin) + why (and why not) to customise your LaTeX2e (e.g., the heated topic of paper sizes) + how do I create a subsubsubsection - what is a dvi file (Carol) - what is a driver (Carol) - what are pk files (pxl, gf, ...) Cross ref to question on PS problems (Carol -- not pxl, gf -- quite right too) - LaTeX version numbers (just where did that \varepsilon come from?) - How to flow text around figures (Robin, from Piet van Oostrum's stuff) - Hyper(La)TeX, utilities and creation of pdf (Seb) + Generate a question to which fancyheadings is the answer (one almost every day on c.t.t) From Malcolm: + how do i manage to set my document ranged left in latex? \raggedright seems to work only for a paragraph (just like the manual says). + are there interfaces from papyrus or the other bibliographic management packages to bibtex? + how do i use the new ghostview with the paradissa fonts (i ask this one every day, so it is becoming frequent). + what is the best way to make an index? i.e., how to decide what to index, etc. From Damian Cugley: + What is all the %%% @TeX-file {...} stuff at the top of files? Is there a program for making these headers? What's this checksum program they refer to? (we're now agreed that we're not doing this one, are we?) From Stephen Gildea: + how to get all the semi-standard LaTeX packages (i.e., the set listed in the companion -- I haven't checked whether this needs any more work...) + how to upgrade to a new release of LaTeX 2e From Kees van der Laan: - MetaPost... (Robin) From Teck Kin Suan + TeX/LaTeX web sites + resume/vita style files + some talk about .bst files + `coding gems' (hmmm.... how do we address that one?) From Barbara B + MakeTeXPK (and any other font-generation stuff?)
