- This is a preliminary release of REFMAN.CLS for
- LaTeX2e. [1994/06/01]
-
- Version 1.9 e
-
- It is based on the Classes.dtx (1.2s) and the Refman.sty version 1.1.
-
- This new class is a class by it's own and no style-option.
- I've made this change to support some things which would have
- been difficult with a style-option.
-
- The new class consitst of
- refart.cls an article-like style (former refman-s)
- refrep.cls a report-like style (former refman)
-
- The size-depending files
- ref10.clo
- ref11.clo
- ref12.clo
- are no longer needed because size{10|11|12} will be used now.
-
- There is only little difference between refart and refrep:
-
- Refrep supports chapters, has a titlepage by default and uses
- chaptermark and sectionmark in footings and headings.
- Refrep supports \pageperchapter
-
- Refart supports an optional titlepage and uses sectionmark
- and subsectionmark in footings and headings.
-
- Changes:
- ========
-
- Both classes support different papersizes in the same way as the
- original LaTeX2e-classes, including the landscape option.
- There is a new option to produce a square-layout.
-
- The pagelayout is not 100% compatible to refman.sty due to the
- multiple-papersize-support.
- The running head and foot is not compatible to refman.sty.
-
- I've changed the footnote-layout since a not indended footnote-
- layout fits better to a not indended textlayout.
-
- I've tried to support an index-environment. This is not tested
- (It is now and it works!)
- and may change in the final release. The current version supports
- twocolumn-layout in the index.
-
- The maketitle-command sets title *and* autor *and* date. If you
- don't want the date use \date{} before calling \maketitle.
-
- I've followed the example of Markus Kohm and renamed the classes
- to refart.cls and refrep.cls. Thus it is easier to remember what is
- what and it can't be confused with refman.sty
-
- Obsolete commands:
- ==================
-
- The command setleftmarginwidth is no longer supported. There is no
- use setting the leftmargin to a fixed value if you don't know
- the fullwidth. (See Future commands)
-
- The makeauthor is no longer supported, this is done by maketitle.
-
- New commands (not in refman.sty v. 1.1)
- ====================================
- There are some commands I consider usefull in a reference
- manual style:
-
- /pagebychapter
- This will give you new pagenumbers each chapter,
- looking like 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-1 ...
- Prefacepages will be numberer 1,2,3 since 0-1 is not desireable.
- (I can't make this a package because I have to change the chapter command)
-
- \settextfraction{fraction}
- This will reset the horizontal layout, giving you a textwidth
- of fraction*fullwidth. The restriction to lines with 60-70 chars has
- been removed.
-
- Both commands should only be used in the preamble.
-
- 1.9 a Included redefinition of pagestyle{plain} for twoside printing
- 1.9 b Refman now works with LaTeX2e [1994/06/01] and is in sync
- with classes 1.2 s
- 1.9 c Fixed refman: There should be an opening { in markright
- (every pagestyle, except for plain and empty)
- Moved changing of topmargin inside ps definition
- 1.9 d Fixed the pagestyles for oneside printing
- Changed chapter layout (uses fullwidth now)
- Changed typeout to ClassError where needed
- 1.9 e Renamed refman to refrep and refman-s to refart.
- Cleaned up fullwidth-environment, now it works on
- even-sides too:-)
- Added \pageperchapter to refrep.cls
- Added \settextfraction
- Removed ref{10|11|12}.clo. Refman is now using the
- size{10|11|12}.clo files.
