I'd like to suggest that the Docs link on the Web site be expanded. Right now it takes one to the HTML version of the user manual, which is buggy and out-of-date. There's a lot of other documentation. I'd like to suggest that the Docs link take a visitor to a page with links to the User Manual,

new manual in TexInfo format?

2002-10-18 Thread Bill Janssen
I've been pondering re-writing the User Manual, but I'd like a more friendly primary format. I'm partial to TexInfo, which produces TeX (and thus PS and PDF) outputs, as well as HTML and Info (which can be loaded into Emacs for handy reference). For ILU, we used something called TIM, which is

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 For ILU, we used something called TIM, which is TexInfo Macros -- basically a feeble macro front-end for TexInfo. The macros added URL links and images, which at the time weren't in TexInfo. It looks to me as if Texinfo 4.2 will support both.

David, what is the preferred format generally? I'm not Tex or LaTex (casing?) comfortable, but work decently well with XML and am exceptionally comfortable with HTML. I'm partial to SGML as a core format, others may differ. I'm doing the Guide in HTML simply because it's universal,

One quick question. Where do I download the 1.2 source?? It isn't on the downloads page. A few ways, via cvs (cvs link) or the Snapshot link. I'll pull the plucker_1_2 tag, pack it up and put it on the download page for people who wish to download that directly instead of
