<ab><pt18>T.1<N>Introduction<pt12><xb><ql>

To understand what the Rubicon Publisher is, and how it works, imagine
that you are living about 50 years ago, before computers were invented.
You are faced with the job of publishing a document by the traditional
method: namely, preparing the text in the form of a ``manuscript'', and
sending the manuscript to a traditional printing shop, where the
printers will set it in type and print it. Naturally, you have to
provide the printers with written instructions specifying the size of
paper to be used, the locations of the margins, the number of columns to
appear on each page, the width of the ``gutter'' (space) between
columns, the type ``fonts'' (typefaces, sizes and weights of type) to be
used, the desired line spacing, and so on. If you are going to use
enhancements like bold-face printing, underlining or italics, you have
to indicate the exact points in the text where enhanced printing is to
start and stop.

You therefore include the necessary printing instructions in the
``manuscript'' of your document. The instructions concerning page format
and layout naturally must appear at the beginning of the manuscript.
Instructions concerning font changes, enhancements, etc. are of course
placed at the points where the changes are desired. To avoid
misunderstandings, you give your instructions using technical
typesetting terms. To avoid any confusion between the printing
instructions and the text which is to be printed, you enclose all
instructions in triangular brackets: ``<60>instruction<62>''.

When you have completed the manuscript with all necessary instructions
included, you send it to the printers. They set the document in type,
following the instructions you have given them, and then print a
specimen copy (known as a ``proof'') which they send to you for your
approval. If corrections are needed, you enter the necessary
instructions, and send the document back to the printers, who make the
required changes, and print a second ``proof'' copy for your inspection.
If necessary, this process is repeated until the printers produce a
``proof'' which is satisfactory.

Publishing a document using the Rubicon Publisher follows this
traditional publishing method, but the old-fashioned printing shop and
its human employees have been replaced by the Rubicon Publisher program,
installed on your own personal computer, and your dot-matrix, ink-jet or
laser printer. You prepare your document as a ``manuscript'' in the form
we have described, with all necessary printng instructions, using your
personal computer and whatever word-processing program you find most
convenient. However, when you have finished it, instead of sending it
to a printing shop, you simply submit the computer file containing it to
the Rubicon Publisher, which sets it in type electronically, following
the instructions you have provided, and, in a matter of minutes,
generates a ``preview'' of your document on your computer screen, or
prints out a copy on your computer printer for immediate inspection.

Of course, the Rubicon Publisher cannot know whether your instructions
are <ai>reasonable<xi> or not. The Publisher will simply do what you
have told it to do, unless it is actually impossible. You must therefore
provide it with instructions that are complete, correct, and exact. As
you will find by following the Tutorial, this is not difficult, but it
does require reasonable attention to detail.

Learning to use the Rubicon Publisher successfully is <ai>easy<xi>, as
long as you keep in mind what it is that you are doing: you are
preparing a manuscript with printing instructions, and sending it to an
electronic ``printing shop'' which happens to be sitting right there on
your desk.

The Rubicon Publisher consists of two main parts: (1) a typesetting
language consisting of ``tags'' (instructions) concerning page layout,
font selection, etc., which can be inserted by the user at appropriate
locations in a computer text file; and (2) an executable ``batch
processor'' program which, upon command, accepts a computer text file
including such tag instructions, interprets and acts on the tags, and
either previews the results on your computer screen, or transmits the
results directly to a printer (or, optionally, to a disk file for later
transmission to the printer).

This Tutorial is designed to teach you how to use the Publisher. The
best way to learn how to do anything is by actually doing it, and the
Tutorial follows this approach by taking you, step by step, through the
preparation and publication of some specimen documents.

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.2<N>Installation and Hardware Setup<pt12><xb><ql>

This Tutorial is designed to be used with Version 2.2C of the Publisher,
installed in the conventional manner on Drive C by means of the
installation program, for a printer which will use Rubicon's Trajan and
Renner fonts, and which is set up to use standard letter-size (8.5x11
inch) paper. This is the normal setup, and if you did not do anything
unusual when installing the Publisher, this is what you will have,
<ai>unless<xi> you selected the LaserJet-3 or PostScript printer option.


If your setup differs from this, you will have to amend some of the
commands and/or Publisher tags specified in the Tutorial, to conform to
your setup.<ql>
<pt10><leading line=12pt para=6pt><ih2em><qz>

Note 1:<n>If your Publisher is not installed on Drive C, references to
Drive C should of course be replaced by references to the drive it is
installed on.

Note 2:<n>If you are using a LaserJet-3 or Postscript printer, or are
using third-party soft fonts instead of the Rubicon fonts, the tags
``Trajan'' and ``Renner'' should be replaced by tags specifying fonts
available for your use, typically ``Times'' and ``Helv''.

<pt12><leading line=14pt para=7pt><ih><qz>
If your computer setup does not support VGA graphics, you will not be
able to use the Screen Preview feature. However, Screen Preview is
strictly a convenience feature; if you have it, it may save you some
time and paper, depending on the kind of work you are doing, but the
Publisher works perfectly well without it.

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.3<N>Preliminaries<pt12><xb><ql>

This Tutorial is self-contained, and it is not necessary to study the
Concise Manual provided with the Publisher, before proceeding through
the Tutorial. However, you may get more out of the Tutorial if you take
a quick look through Section 2 of the Manual, OPERATION AND STRUCTURE
(file Manual.2), before proceeding.

If you have not already done so, you should PUBLish specimen text files
SAMPLE_1, SAMPLE_2, <.><.><.> SAMPLE_4, and one or more of the
``REGFORM'' files (REGFORM.CAN, REGFORM.US, etc.) which you will find on
the RUBICON directory. PUBLishing these samples will give you a ``feel''
for the way the publisher operates. Note: SAMPLE_4 is the table of
contents for the Concise Manual; the REGFORM files are the licence
registration forms.

To PUBLish these files:

(a) Make sure your printer is ready and on line.

(b) Log on to the directory RUBICON on Drive C (if you are not already
there) by entering the command:

CD C:\RUBICON [return]<QC>

(c) enter the command:

PUBL SAMPLE_1 /T [return]<QC>

(d) Wait for Sample_1 to be printed out, and examine the results.

(e) Repeat steps (c) and (d) for SAMPLE_2, SAMPLE_3, SAMPLE_4 and
the REGFORM file(s).

Remember to <ai>be patient<xi>: the Publisher generally requires <ai>at
least one and one-half minutes<xi> of processing time, before it starts
to print, and may require <ai>several minutes,<xi> depending on the
complexity of the document being published, and the hardware setup being
used. During much of this processing time, the Publisher may not appear
to be doing anything.

In this Tutorial, we have included the run-time switch ``/T'' in the
command line to invoke the ``Tracers'' option (described in Section 2.4 of
the Manual) so that you will be able to see that the program is really
running. However, the screen display invoked by the ``/T'' switch is not
necessary for the operation of the Publisher, and when you have become
accustomed to the operation of the program, you may decide to dispense
with it.

The next step to take (if you have not already done so) is to PUBLish
this Tutorial, which is of course located on the RUBICON directory under
the filename TUTORIAL.

NOTE: This Tutorial is about 20 pages long, and takes substantial
time<L->typically 30 to 45 minutes<L->to PUBLish. Having PUBLished the
``Samples'', you will have some idea of how long it takes your computer
and printer to PUBLish one page: the Tutorial will take about 15 times
as long. However, once you have started the process, it will proceed
automatically without further instructions, provided that your printer's
paper-handling mechanism is reliable and is loaded with enough paper for
the job.

To PUBLish the Tutorial:

(a) Make sure your printer is ready and on line, with an adequate supply
of paper.

(b) Log on to the directory RUBICON on Drive C (if you are not already
there) by entering the DOS command:

CD C:\RUBICON [return]<QC>

(c) enter the command:

PUBL TUTORIAL /T [return]<QC>

(d) Wait for the Tutorial to be printed out. <ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.4<n>Text Files<pt12><xb><ql>

The Publisher requires as input a plain ASCII text file, that is, a text
file in standard ASCII format, without embedded control characters,
right-justification, indentations or enhancements. Paragraphs should be
separated from each other, and from headings and subheadings, by a
single blank line, and trailing blank space characters at the end of
lines or paragraphs should be avoided if possible.

The first step in producing a published docoument is, therefore, to
prepare the contents of the document in the form of a plain ASCII
computer text file. This job is usually done by means of a ``word
processor'' (text editing program). Most major word processors either
produce text files in ASCII format in normal operation, or can be
instructed to do so as an optional operating mode.

To prepare text files for PUBLication by the Rubicon Publisher:

1. You should set your word processor to produce files in ASCII format,
if it does not normally do so. (With some word processors, the necessary
instruction is given at the time of saving the workfile to disk.)

2. Your word processor's right-justification feature (sometimes referred
to simply as ``justification'') should be switched off (disabled).

3. Your word processor's built-in enhancements (bolding, underlining,
alternate fonts, etc.) should <ai>not<xi> be used.

4. Tabular stops (``tabs'') should <ai>not<xi> be used. (The Publisher
uses a different method for producing tables.)

If you are uncertain about how to comply with these three requirements,
please refer to your word processor's instruction manual.

To save you the time and trouble of generating text files from scratch,
we have provided two suitable plain text files for use in this Tutorial.
They are located on the RUBICON directory, under the names TEXT.ONE and
TEXT.TWO. In the Lessons which follow, you will learn how to use your
word processor to ``tag'' these files for PUBLication.

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.5<N>Style Sheets and the <60>Include <.><.><.><62> Tag<pt12><xb><ql>

The Publisher's ``include'' tag looks like this:

<60>Include XXX<62><QC>

where ``XXX'' is the name of some disk file. Its effect is to include
the contents of the file ``XXX'' in your document file at the point
where the ``Include'' tag appears. The included file may consist of
instruction tags, or printable text, or both.

A ``style sheet''is a special kind of file, consisting entirely of
instruction tags, which provides a complete specification of the page
layout and format to be used in PUBLishing the document.

Style sheets for a selection of page formats are provided on your
RUBICON directory as disk files, identified by the filename extension
``.sty''. The names of these files indicate the formats they represent.
The first element in a style sheet filename is a number followed by the
letter ``C'': this indicates the number of columns. The next element is
a number followed by the letter ``P'': this indicates the size of print
which will be used for the text, measured in ``points''. The final
element is a 2-character abbreviation indicating the paper size: ``LT''
for letter size, ``LG'' for legal size, ``A4'' for A4 size.

Examples:

<tab i=1 stop=0 justify=ql><qz>
<tab i=2 stop=2in justify=ql><qz>
<tab i=3 stop=6.5in justify=ql><qz>
<HS>Filename<HT>Format<HE>

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.6<N>Lesson 1<pt12><xb><ql>

In this Lesson, we will use the Publisher's ``Include'' tag and a
standard ``style sheet'' to PUBLish a document in a standard style and
format. The document we will PUBLish is contained in the file TEXT.ONE,
and we will use the style sheet 2C12PLT.STY, which will set the text in
12-point Trajan type, 2 columns per page.

<ab>STEP 1:<xb>

Using your Word Processor (set up as described in Section T.4):

(a) create a new version of the file C:\RUBICON\TEXT.ONE, amended as
follows:

Insert one new line at the beginning of the file, consisting of the
instruction tag <60>INCLUDE 2C12PLT.STY<62> positioned at the left margin.

(b) name the amended file LESSON.1; and

(c) save it as an ASCII file on the directory C:\RUBICON.

[The exact procedures for doing this will depend on what word processor
you are using.]

The beginning of the amended file LESSON.1 should look like this:

<pt10><ib8em><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<60>INCLUDE 2C12PLT.STY<62><ql>
At that time, in Kentucky (said the Hon. Mr. K--), the law was very
strict against what are termed ``games of chance''. About a dozen of the
boys were detected playing ``seven-up'' or ``old sledge'' for money, and
the grand jury found a true bill against them. Jim Sturgis was retained
<.><.><.><.><ql>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<pt12><ib><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

Note: The <60>INCLUDE ..<62> tag must be at the very beginning of the
file. It must <ai>not<xi> be preceded by any blank lines or spaces.

<ab>STEP 2:<xb>

<ai>If your Publisher installation does not include the VGA Preview,
omit this Step and proceed directly to Step 3.<xi>

If your Publisher installation includes the VGA Preview, Preview your
file LESSON.1, by doing the following:

(a) Exit from your Word Processor and Log on to the directory RUBICON on
Drive C (if you are not already there) by entering the DOS command:

CD C:\RUBICON[return]<qc>

(b) enter the command:

PUBL LESSON.1 /P [return]<QC>

(c) Wait for the Preview of LESSON.1 to appear on your screen.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(d) The Preview displays a standard (8.5x11 in) document in 4
overlapping views: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, and Bottom Right.
You are now looking at the Top Left view of Page 1 of your document
LESSON.1. You will see that the document has been set up in Trajan
(serif) type, in two columns. The Top Left view shows the top half of
the first column, and a small part of the top half of the second
column.

(e) After you have examined the Top Left view, press the [CURSOR RIGHT]
arrow key, and wait for the Top Right view of Page 1 to be displayed.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(f) After you have examined the Top Right view, press the [CURSOR DOWN]
arrow key, and wait for the Bottom Right view of Page 1 to be displayed.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(g) After you have examined the Bottom Right view, press the
[CURSOR<nb>LEFT] arrow key, and wait for the Bottom Left view of Page 1
to be displayed. <ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(h) You have now seen all 4 views of Page 1. If you wish, you can
re-examine any view by using the cursor arrow keys to move around the
page. <ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi> The Publisher takes a few
moments to move from one view to another: the new view does not appear
instantly.

(i) After you have finished examining Page 1, press the [PAGE DOWN] key
to move to Page 2. Wait for the Preview of Page 2 to appear on your
screen. <ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(j) In a few moments, the Top Left view of Page 2 of LESSON.1 will
appear. (You will get the Top Left view of Page 2, no matter which view
of Page 1 was on your screen when you pressed the [PAGE DOWN] key.)

(k) Repeat (e), (f) and (g) to examine the other 3 views of Page 2.

(l) After you have finished examining Page 2, press the [PAGE DOWN] key.
Since Page 2 is the last page of your document LESSON.1, pressing [PAGE
DOWN] will conclude the Preview session, and return you to the DOS
prompt, ``C<pi62>''.

<ab>STEP 3:<xb>

PUBLish your file LESSON.1, by doing the following:

(a) Make sure your printer is ready and on line.

(b) If you are still in your Word Processor, exit from it. Log on to the
directory RUBICON on Drive C (if you are not already there) by entering
the DOS command:

CD C:\RUBICON[return]<qc>

(c) enter the command:

PUBL LESSON.1 /T [return]<QC>

(d) Wait for LESSON.1 to be printed out, and examine the result.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi> Save the printed document for future
reference.

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.7<N>Lesson 2<pt12><xb><ql>

In this Lesson, we will rePUBLish the same document used in Lesson 1, in
two different formats by using different style sheets in place of the
style sheet 2C12PLT.STY, which we used in Lesson 1.

<ab>STEP 1:<xb>

Using your Word Processor (set up as described in Section T.4):

(a) amend your file C:\RUBICON\LESSON.1 by changing the instruction tag
at the beginning of the file to read:

<60>INCLUDE 1C12PLT.STY<62>

[That is, change the name of the style sheet being included to
``1C12PLT.STY''.]

(b) Rename the file ``LESSON.2A'', and save it as an ASCII file on the
directory C:\RUBICON.

The beginning of the file LESSON.2A should now look like this:

<pt10><ib8em><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<60>INCLUDE 1C12PLT.STY<62><ql>
At that time, in Kentucky (said the Hon. Mr. K--), the law was very
strict against what are termed ``games of chance''. About a dozen of the
boys were detected playing ``seven-up'' or ``old sledge'' for money, and
the grand jury found a true bill against them. Jim Sturgis was retained
<.><.><.><.><ql>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<pt12><ib><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

Note: The <60>INCLUDE ..<62> tag must be at the very beginning of the file. It
must NOT be preceded by any blank lines or spaces.

<ab>STEP 2:<xb>

<ai>If your Publisher installation does not include the VGA Preview,
omit this Step and proceed directly to Step 3.<xi>

If your Publisher installation includes the VGA Preview, Preview the new
file LESSON.2A, by doing the following:

(a) Exit from your Word Processor and Log on to the directory RUBICON on
Drive C (if you are not already there) by entering the DOS command:

CD C:\RUBICON[return]<qc>

(b) enter the command:

PUBL LESSON.2A /P [return]<QC>

(c) Wait for the Preview of LESSON.2A to appear on your screen.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(d) The Preview displays a standard (8.5x11 in) document in 4
overlapping views: Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, and Bottom Right.
You are now looking at the Top Left view of Page 1 of your document
LESSON.2A. You will see that the document has been set up in Trajan
(serif) type, in a single column, the full width of the page.

(e) After you have examined the Top Left view, press the [CURSOR RIGHT]
arrow key, and wait for the Top Right view of Page 1 to be displayed.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(f) After you have examined the Top Right view, press the [CURSOR DOWN]
arrow key, and wait for the Bottom Right view of Page 1 to be displayed.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(g) After you have examined the Bottom Right view, press the
[CURSOR<nb>LEFT] arrow key, and wait for the Bottom Left view of Page 1
to be displayed. <ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(h) You have now seen all 4 views of Page 1. If you wish, you can
re-examine any view by using the cursor arrow keys to move around the
page. <ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi> The Publisher takes a few
moments to move from one view to another: the new view does not appear
instantly.

(i) After you have finished examining Page 1, press the [PAGE DOWN] key
to move to Page 2. Wait for the Preview of Page 2 to appear on your
screen. <ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi>

(j) In a few moments, the Top Left view of Page 2 of LESSON.2A will
appear. (You will get the Top Left view of Page 2, no matter which view
of Page 1 was on your screen when you pressed the [PAGE DOWN] key.)

(k) Repeat (e), (f) and (g) to examine the other 3 views of Page 2.

(l) After you have finished examining Page 2, press the [PAGE DOWN] key.
Since Page 2 is the last page of your document LESSON.2A, pressing [PAGE
DOWN] will conclude the Preview session, and return you to the DOS
prompt, ``C<pi62>''.

<ab>STEP 3:<xb>

PUBLish LESSON.2A, by doing the following:

(a) Make sure your printer is ready and on line.

(b) If you are still in your Word Processor, exit from it. Log on to the
directory RUBICON on Drive C (if you are not already there) by entering
the DOS command:

CD C:\RUBICON[return]<qc>

(c) enter the command:

PUBL LESSON.2A /T [return]<QC>

(d) Wait for LESSON.2A to be printed out, and examine the result.
<ai>(Remember to be patient!)<xi> Save the printed document for future
reference.

<ab>STEP 4:<xb>

Using your Word Processor (set up as described in Section T.4):

(a) amend your file C:\RUBICON\LESSON.2A by changing the instruction tag
at the beginning of the file to read:

<60>INCLUDE 3C10PLT.STY<62>

[That is, change the name of the style sheet being included to
``3C10PLT.STY''.]

(b) Rename the file ``LESSON.2B'', and save it as an ASCII file on the
directory C:\RUBICON.

The beginning of the amended file LESSON.2B should now look like this:

<pt10><ib8em><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<60>INCLUDE 3C10PLT.STY<62><ql>

Note: The <60>INCLUDE ..<62> tag must be at the very beginning of the file. It
must NOT be preceded by any blank lines or spaces.

<ab>STEP 5:<xb>

<ai>If your Publisher installation does not include the VGA Preview,
omit this Step and proceed directly to Step 6.<xi>

If your Publisher installation includes the VGA Preview, Preview the new
file LESSON.2B, by using the procedure described in Step 2 of this lesson.
[The command this time will of course be: PUBL LESSON.2B /P.]

<ab>STEP 6:<xb>

PUBLish LESSON.2B, by usinmg the procedure described in Step 3 of this
lesson. [The command this time will of course be: PUBL LESSON.2B /T.]

<ab>STEP 7:<xb>

Compare the PUBLished versions of the document produced in this lesson
with each other, and with the version produced in Lesson 1.

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.8<N>Lesson 3<pt12><xb><ql>

In this lesson, we will use a Publisher instruction tag to modify the
document format specified by a Style Sheet.

Your file LESSON.2B included the Style Sheet 3C10PLT.STY; that is, it
was printed in Trajan 10-point type, in 3 columns. Looking at your
printed copy, you will see that the text <ai>almost<xi> fits on one
page, but not quite. To make the text fit on one page, we will make a
small reduction in the line spacing, known technically as the
``leading'' (pronounced ``ledding''). The <ai>minimum<xi> leading for
10-point type is 10 points (ten seventy-seconds of an inch), but a
printed page looks less crowded, and is easier to read, if a leading
larger than the minimum is used.

Leading is controlled by the instruction tag <pi60>leading line=x
para=y<pi62> where x is the line leading, and y is the extra leading
inserted between paragraphs. The Style Sheet 3C10PLT.STY prescribes a
line leading of ``12pt'' (12 points) and a paragraph leading of ``5pt''
(5 points). We are going to reduce each of these by one point, as
follows:

<ab>STEP 1:<xb>

Using your Word Processor (set up as described in Section T.4):

(a) amend your file C:\RUBICON\LESSON.2B by inserting a new line
<ai>immediately below<xi> the instruction tag ``<60>INCLUDE
3C10PLT.STY<62>''. The new line to be inserted is:

<pi60>leading line=11pt para=4pt<pi62><pi60>qz<pi62>

[The tag <pi60>qz<pi62> is a punctuation tag which tells the Publisher
that the line of instructions has ended, without creating a blank line
in the printed file.]

(b) Rename the file ``LESSON.3'' and save it as an ASCII file on the
directory C:\RUBICON.

The beginning of the new file LESSON.3 should now look like this:

<pt10><ib8em><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<60>INCLUDE 3C10PLT.STY<62><ql>

At that time, in Kentucky (said the Hon. Mr. K--), the law was very
strict against what are termed ``games of chance''. About a dozen of the
boys were detected playing ``seven-up'' or ``old sledge'' for money, and
the grand jury found a true bill against them. Jim Sturgis was retained
<.><.><.><.><ql>

Note: The new line should be <ai>exactly<xi> as given above.

<ab>STEP 2:<xb>

<ai>If your Publisher installation does not include the VGA Preview,
omit this Step and proceed directly to Step 3.<xi>

If your Publisher installation includes the VGA Preview, Preview the new
file LESSON.3. (Refer back to Step 2 of Lesson 2, in Section T.7, if you
need to.) Note: When you press [PAGE DOWN] after previewing Page 1, the
Preview session will terminate, and you will be returned to the DOS
prompt, ``C<pi62>''. Since the document now consists of a single page,
there is no ``Page 2'' to be previewed.

<ab>STEP 3:<xb>

PUBLish LESSON.3. (Refer back to Step 3 of Lesson 2,
in Section T.7, if you need to.)

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.9<N>Lesson 4<pt12><xb><ql>

In this lesson, we will use the Publisher ``header'' instruction to
insert a heading at the beginning of the file LESSON.3. The heading we
will insert is the title of the story, ``Luck versus Science'', and we
will insert it in large 24-point bold type. We will also use the
``Footer'' instruction to cancel page numbering, which is not needed for
a 1-page document.

<ab>STEP 1:<xb>

Using your Word Processor (set up as described in Section T.4):

(a) amend your file C:\RUBICON\LESSON.3 by inserting 7 new lines
<ai>immediately below<xi> the instruction line<ql>
``<pi60>leading line=11pt para=4pt<pi62><pi60>qz<pi62>''

The new lines to be inserted are:

<60>header<62><ql>
<60>margin left=0.75in right=7.75in<62><60>qz<62><ql>
<60>Trajan24b<62>LUCK versus SCIENCE<60>Trajan12m<62><60>qc<62><ql>
<60>end<62><ql>
<60>footer<62><ql>
<ql>
<60>end<62><ql>
<ql>

(b) Rename the file ``LESSON.4'', and save it as an ASCII file on the
directory C:\RUBICON.

The beginning of the new file LESSON.4 should now look like this:

<pt10><ib8em><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<60>INCLUDE 3C10PLT.STY<62><ql>

<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<pt12><ib><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

Note: The new lines should be <ai>exactly<xi> as given above. There must
be a blank line between the lines ``<60>footer<62>'' and
``<60>end<62>'', as shown, and no other blank lines between the
beginning of the file and the first line of actual text.

<ab>STEP 2:<xb>

<ai>If your Publisher installation does not include the VGA Preview,
omit this Step and proceed directly to Step 3.<xi>

If your Publisher installation includes the VGA Preview, Preview the new
file LESSON.4. (Refer back to Step 2 of Lesson 2, in Section T.7, if you
need to.) Note: When you press [PAGE DOWN] after previewing Page 1, the
Preview session will terminate, and you will be returned to the DOS
prompt, ``C<pi62>''. Since the document now consists of a single page,
there is no ``Page 2'' to be previewed.

<ab>STEP 3:<xb>

PUBLish LESSON.4. (Refer back to Step 3 of Lesson 2, in Section T.7, if
you need to.)<ql>
<il3em><pt10><leading line=11pt para=5pt><qz>

[The ``header'' and ``footer'' instructions are used to define running
headers and footers. A ``header'', once defined, will appear at the top
of every new page of the document, starting at the first page break
after the instruction, until a new header instruction is encountered. To
make a header appear on the first page of the document, you must define
it at the beginning of the file, before the first page begins, that is,
before any printable text. Similarly, a ``footer'', once defined, will
appear at the bottom of every new page of the document, starting at the
first page break after the instruction, until a new footer instruction
is encountered. To make a footer appear on the first page of the
document, you must define somewhere before the end of the first page.

In this lesson, we have used a ``header'' instruction at the beginning
of the file to define a heading which appears on the first (and only)
page of the document.

The standard Style Sheets all include a definition of a standard footer
consisting of the page number, printed at the center of the page.
(Inside a header or footer definition, the page number is represented by
the tag <60>PN<62>.) In this lesson, we have cancelled this by using a
``footer'' instruction to define a ``blank'' footer, that is, a footer
containing nothing.]<ql>

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.10<N>Lesson 5<pt12><xb><ql>

In this lesson, we will use some Publisher instruction tags to add some
``enhancements'' to the file LESSON.4 which will give the
document a more professional appearance. Looking at the printed
copy of LESSON.4, you will see that there are 5 places where a pair of
hyphens, ``--'', has been used to represent a dash, ``<L->''. We will
replace these hyphen pairs with single dashes, using the tag
``<60>L-<62>'', which specifies a ``long dash'' (three-quarters of an em
long). We will also add some italics, and we will right-justify the last
line of the document, which identifies the author and date of the story;
that is, move it over so that it ends at the right-hand side of the
column.

<ab>STEP 1:<xb>

Using your Word Processor (set up as described in Section T.4), access
the file LESSON.4, and:

(a) Locate the 5 occurrences of ``--'', and replace each of them with
``<60>L-<62>''. Your word processor probably has a ``search and
replace'' utility which can perform this task easily.

Example: The first line of text in the file should now read:

<pt10><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
At that time, in Kentucky (said the Hon. Mr. K<60>L-<62>), the law was
very<qc>
<pt12><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

(b) Locate the word ``proven'' in the text. (It is found a few lines
from the end of the second paragraph). Italicize it by inserting the tag
``<60>ai<62>'' in front of it, and the tag ``<60>xi<62>'' after it.

The line of text in which the word ``proven'' appears should now look
like this:

<pt10><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
it was <60>ai<62>proven<60>xi<62> that it was a game of chance. Judge
and counsel<qc>
<pt12><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

(c) Move to the last line of the file, and amend it by inserting the tag
``<60>ai<62>'' at the beginning of the line, and the sequence of tags
``<60>xi<62><60>qr<62>'' at the end of the line, like this:

<pt10><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<60>ai<62><60>L-<62>Mark Twain (1870)<60>xi<62><60>qr<62><qc>
<pt12><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

The beginning and ending of the file LESSON.4 should now look like this:

<pt10><ib8em><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<60>INCLUDE 3C10PLT.STY<62><ql>

``That is the way that seven-up came to be set apart and particularized

(d) Rename the file ``LESSON.5'' and save it as an ASCII file on the
directory C:\RUBICON.

<ab>STEP 2:<xb>

<ai>If your Publisher installation does not include the VGA Preview,
omit this Step and proceed directly to Step 3.<xi>

If your Publisher installation includes the VGA Preview, Preview the new
file LESSON.5. (Refer back to Step 2 of Lesson 2, in Section T.7, if you
need to.) Note: When you press [PAGE DOWN] after previewing Page 1, the
Preview session will terminate, and you will be returned to the DOS
prompt, ``C<pi62>''. Since the document now consists of a single page,
there is no ``Page 2'' to be previewed.

<ab>STEP 3:<xb>

PUBLish LESSON.5. (Refer back to Step 3 of Lesson 2, in Section T.7, if
you need to.)

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.11<N>Lesson 6<pt12><xb><ql>

In this lesson we will be using the prepared files TEXT.TWO and TAB.ONE,
from your Rubicon directory, to demonstrate the basic procedures for
defining headers, for using enhancements, and for presenting information
in tabular form.

<ab>STEP 1:<xb>

Use your word processor, or the DOS command ``TYPE <ai>filename<xi>'',
to display the file TAB.ONE on your screen. This file contains a series
of instruction tags which set up a table 5 inches wide, consisting of 4
columns, defined by 5 tab stops spaced at equal intervals of 1.25
inches. Each tab stop is defined by a tag:<ql>
<60>tab i= stop= justify= <62><qc>
where ``i= ''defines the tab stop number; ``stop= '' specifies the
distance of the tab stop from the left-hand edge of the table; and
``justify= '' specifies the method of justification to be used inside
the tab column: ``ql'' for left justification, ``qr'' for right
justification, or ``qc'' for center justification. In this example,
center justification is being used.

This file is ``included'' at 2 locations in the file TEXT.TWO, to
present information in the form of a table. When you Preview or PUBLish
this text file (Steps 3 and 4, below) you will see the form of table
which results from these instructions.

<ai>Leave this file<xi> TAB.ONE <ai>unchanged.<xi>

<ab>STEP 2:<xb>

Using your Word Processor (set up as described in Section T.4), access
the file C:\RUBICON\TEXT.TWO, and:

(a) insert the following 8 new lines at the very beginning of the file,
starting at line 1:

<60>include 1c12plt.sty<62><ql>
<60>header<62><ql>
<60>margin left=0.75in right=7.75in<62><60>qz<62><ql>
<60>Renner24b<62>PAGE LAYOUT GUIDELINES<60>Trajan12m<62><60>qc<62><ql>
<60>end<62><ql>
<60>footer<62><ql>
<ql>
<60>end<62><ql>

The first new line adopts the style sheet 1C12PLT.STY for printing the
document in Trajan 12-point type, in one column. The next 4 lines place
the heading ``PAGE LAYOUT GUIDELINES'' centered in the header space at
the top of the first page, printed in Renner 24-point bold type, by
defining it as the initial running header for the document. The next 3
lines cancel the standard page-numbering footer defined by the style
sheet, by defining a blank footer.

(b) Amend the first line of text, ``Column Layouts'', by inserting the
tag ``<60>Renner14b<62>'' at the beginning of the line, and the tag
``<60>Trajan12m<62>'' at the end of the line, so that the whole line
looks like this:<ql>
``<60>Renner14b<62>Column Layouts<60>Trajan12m<62>''

``<60>Renner14b<62>'' is a font tag, specifying that the text following
it is to be printed in the Renner typeface, in 14-point bold type.
Similarly, ``<60>Trajan12m<62>'' specifies that the text following it is
to be printed in the Trajan typeface, in 12-point medium type.

(c) Immediately below the line amended in (b), insert a blank line, then
insert the following 5 new lines:<ql>

<60>header<62><ql>
<60>margin left=0.75in right=7.75in<62><60>qz<62><ql>
<60>Renner12i<62>Page Layout Guidelines<60>qz<62><ql>
Page <60>pn<62><60>Trajan12m<62><60>qr<62><ql>
<60>end<62><ql>

The last of these new lines should be separated from the next line of
text by a blank line.

The beginning of the text file should now look like this:

<pt10><ib8em><leading line=11.5pt para=5pt><qz>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<60>include 1c12plt.sty<62><ql>
<60>header<62><ql>
<60>margin left=0.75in right=7.75in<62><60>qz<62><ql>
<60>Renner24b<62>PAGE LAYOUT GUIDELINES<60>Trajan12m<62><60>qc<62><ql>
<60>end<62><ql>
<60>footer<62><ql>
<ql>
<60>end<62><ql>
<60>Renner14b<62>Column Layouts<60>Trajan12m<62><ql>

<60>header<62><ql>
<60>margin left=0.75in right=7.75in<62><60>qz<62><ql>
<60>Renner12i<62>Page Layout Guidelines<60>qz<62><ql>
Page <60>pn<62><60>Trajan12m<62><60>qr<62><ql>
<60>end<62><ql>

For a page interior 7 inches wide, the following column layouts may
be considered:

Arrangement 1. <60>column measure=7.0in<62> or <60>column count=1<62>.
One column 7 inches wide fills the page.<ql>
<.><.><.><.><ql>
<line thick=1pt><ql24pt>
<pt12><ib><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

The newly-added lines define a new running header for the document.
Because the new header definition is located <ai>after the first line of
printable text,<xi> but <ai>before the end<xi> of the first page of the
document, the new header will not appear on the first page, but will
appear on all subsequent pages. The new header will be printed in Renner
12-point italic type, and consists of the title ``Page Layout
Guidelines'', which will appear at the left of the page, and the word
``Page'' followed by the page number, which will appear at the right of
the page.

(d) Locate the heading ``Leading (Line Spacing)'', which appears on a
line by itself, about 80 lines from the beginning of the file. Amend
this line by inserting the tag ``<60>Renner14b<62>'' at the beginning of
the line, and the tag ``<60>Trajan12m<62>'' at the end of the line, so
that the whole line looks like this:<ql>
``<60>Renner14b<62>Leading (Line Spacing)<60>Trajan12m<62>''

This will cause the heading to be printed in Renner 14-point bold type.

(e) Locate the heading ``General Comments'', which appears on a
line by itself, about 144 lines from the beginning of the file. Amend
this line by inserting the tag ``<60>Renner14b<62>'' at the beginning of
the line, and the tag ``<60>Trajan12m<62>'' at the end of the line, so
that the whole line looks like this:<ql>
``<60>Renner14b<62>General Comments<60>Trajan12m<62>''

This will cause the heading to be printed in Renner 14-point bold type.

(f) Locate the first sentence in the last paragraph of the document
(about 167 lines from the beginning),
which reads:<ql>
``Finally, print enhancements<60>L-<62>bold face, italics, and
underlining<60>L-<62>should be used sparingly.''

Amend ``bold face,'' to
``<60>ab<62>bold face,<60>xb<62>''.

Amend ``italics,'' to
``<60>ai<62>italics,<60>xi<62>''.

Amend ``underlining'' to
``<60>au<62>underlining<60>xu<62>''.

The whole sentence, as amended, should read:<ql>

``Finally, print enhancements<60>L-<62><60>ab<62>bold face,<60>xb<62>
<60>ai<62>italics,<60>xi<62> and
<60>au<62>underlining<60>xu<62><60>L-<62>should be used sparingly.''

(g) Name the amended text file LESSON.6 and save it as an ASCII file on
the directory C:\RUBICON.

<ab>STEP 3:<xb>

<ai>If your Publisher installation does not include the VGA Preview,
omit this Step and proceed directly to Step 4.<xi>

If your Publisher installation includes the VGA Preview, Preview the
file LESSON.6. (Refer back to Step 2 of Lesson 2, in Section T.7, if you
need to.) Note: This document is 3 pages in length. When you press [PAGE
DOWN] after previewing Page 3, the Preview session will terminate, and
you will be returned to the DOS prompt, ``C<pi62>''.

<ab>STEP 4:<xb>

PUBLish the file LESSON.6. (Refer back to Step 3 of Lesson 2,
in Section T.7, if you need to.)

<ab>STEP 5:<xb>

Examine the printed document, with particular attention to the headings,
running header, and tables.

The document contains useful guidelines for publishing text files: save
it for future reference.

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.12<N>Publishing Your Own Documents<pt12><xb><ql>

Now that you have completed the ``six easy lessons'', you can use the
Publisher to PUBLish your own documents in a wide variety of styles and
formats, and with various enhancements. In fact, you can do a lot of
useful PUBLishing without learning anything more about the Publisher
than you know right now.

Of course, this Tutorial has covered only the basics. The Publisher has
more than 100 operational features, far too many to be included in a
tutorial of reasonable length.

The <ai>best<xi> source of information about the additional features of
the Rubicon Publisher is the printed <ab>Reference Manual<xb>, which is
included in the Commercial Edition of the Publisher, supplied to all
registered users. The Reference Manual includes a Quick Reference Guide
and an alphabetical index, which makes it easy to look up information
about the specific features you want to use, as and when you need them.

If you have obtained the Publisher as Shareware, and have not yet
registered and paid your licence fee, you can learn about the Publisher's
additional features from the <ab>Concise Manual<xb>, which is found in
your RUBICON directory in files MANUAL.1 <.><.><.> MANUAL.8. You can
print out a ``hard copy'' of the Concise Manual by printing these files,
using your word processor or the DOS ``PRINT'' utility. They can also be
displayed on your screen, using your word processor, or the DOS command:
``TYPE <ai>filename<xi> |MORE''. The file SAMPLE_4, which you have
already PUBLished, is the table of contents for the Concise Manual, and
the MANUAL file numbers correspond to the section numbers of the Manual:
Section 3 of the Concise Manual is found in file MANUAL.3, and so on.

The PUBLished ``Samples'' and Tutorial are also good sources of
information, since they include various enhancements and special
effects, and you can find out how these were produced by examining the
text files from which the Samples and Tutorial were PUBLished. The text
files can be displayed on your screen, using your word processor, or the
DOS command: ``TYPE <ai>filename<xi> |MORE''. If desired, you can print
hard copies of them using your word processor or the DOS ``PRINT''
utility, for detailed comparison with the PUBLished documents.

<il3em><pt10><leading line=11pt para=5pt><qz>
[Note: The text file for this Tutorial may look confusing at first. As
you know, instruction tags are separated from the printable text by
chevron brackets, ``<60>'' and ``<62>'', and the Publisher treats
<ab>anything<xb> enclosed in such brackets as an instruction, not as
printable text. This causes a minor problem when you actually want to
print a chevron bracket ``<60>'' or ``<62>'' as part of the text.

To print ``<60>'' you must insert the tag ``<60>60<62>'' at the desired
location in the text: to print ``<62>'' you must insert the tag
``<60>62<62>''. (If you are an experienced computer user, you may
recognize ``60'' and ``62'' as the ASCII numbers for the characters
``<60>'' and ``<62>''.) Since the chevron brackets ``<60>'' and ``<62>''
are used very frequently in the Tutorial, the tags ``<60>60<62>'' and
``<60>62<62>'' appear very frequently in the TUTORIAL text file, giving
it a somewhat cluttered and confusing appearance.]<ql>
<pt12><il><leading line=14pt para=7pt><qz>

The standard Style Sheets on your RUBICON directory provide a good
selection of page styles, but the Publisher is not limited to these. You
can use any page style that will fit inside the printable zone of your
page. (Printable zones are explained in Section 7.1.2 of the Concise
Manual.) To use a different style, you can include a standard style
sheet at the beginning of your file, followed by one or more over-riding
instruction tags, as was done in Lesson 3. You can also create your own
Style Sheets: see Section 8 of the Concise Manual.

<ql18pt>
<ab><pt18>T.13<N>Solving Problems<pt12><xb><ql>

If the Publisher fails to Preview or PUBLish your text file, or appears
to be ignoring your instructions, or acting on instructions you did not
intend to give it, the problem can almost invariably be traced to some
error in your text file, or in some file included therein. When trying
to locate and correct such errors, you must bear in mind that all
instructions to the Publisher must be letter-perfect, using the exact
syntax shown in the Manual or Tutorial.

Some common errors to look for:<ql>
<ih2em><qz>

Missing chevron bracket, particularly in a line containing several
instruction tags. Each individual tag must start with ``<60>'' and end
with ``<62>''.

Blank spaces in the wrong place. Instruction tags must appear exactly as
shown in the Manual, without any extra blank spaces, and in a line of
instructions containing several tags, there should be no blank spaces
between tags. Example:<ql>
<M>WRONG: <60>margin<nb>left=<n>1in<n>right=<n>7.5in<62><n><60>qz<62><ql>
<M>RIGHT: <60>margin<nb>left=1in<nb>right=7.5in<62><60>qz<62><ql>

Unit of Measurement missing. When specifying a measurement or distance,
you <ai>must<xi> specify the unit you are using. Example:<ql>
<M>WRONG: <60>margin<nb>left=1<nb>right=7.5<62><60>qz<62><ql>
<M>RIGHT: <60>margin<nb>left=1in<nb>right=7.5in<62><60>qz<62><ql>
<M>RIGHT: <60>margin<nb>left=2.54cm<nb>right=19.05cm<62><60>qz<62><ql>

Margin locations wrong, especially right, bottom and footer margins.
Remember that <ai>all<xi> margin locations are measured from the <ai>top
left corner<xi> of the page. If you want a 1-inch margin at the right
side of a standard 8.5x11-inch page, the correct value for the right margin
is ``7.5in'', <ai>not<xi> ``1in''. Example: 1-inch margins all
around:<ql>
<60>margin<nb>left=1in<nb>right=7.5in<nb>top=1in<nb>bottom=10.0in<62><60>qz<62><qc>

Line of instruction tags not ended by ``quad'' tag. Generally, a line
consisting only of instruction tags (other than a ``directive'') must
end with a ``quad'' (punctuation) tag such as ``<60>qz<62>'': see
Section 2.5 of the manual.

Line break tag missing. The Publisher inserts line breaks automatically
when it reaches the right-hand edge of the column, and when it reaches
the end of a paragraph (indicated by a blank line or a ``<60>qp<62>''
tag). If a line break is needed anywhere else, you must use a ``quad''
tag, such as ``<60>ql<62>''. See Section 4.1 of the Manual.

Chevron bracket (``<60>'' or ``<62>'') which is not part of an
instruction tag. In text files to be PUBLished, chevron brackets should
be used <ai>only<xi> to designate instruction tags, and nowhere else. To
print chevron brackets as part of the text, you must use the tags
``<60>60<62>'' for ``<60>'' and ``<60>62<62>'' for ``<62>''.

Nested ``Include'' instructions. The file named in an
``<60>include<nb><.><.><.><62>'' tag may consist of instructions,
printable text, or both, but must <ai>not<xi> contain any further
``<60>include<nb><.><.><.><62>'' tags.

Column too narrow. The defined column width is so narrow that individual
words are too long to fit in it.

Text is being clipped at one or more edges of page. This happens when
one or more of the margin settings is incompatible with the paper size
and printer model. The margins (including header and/or footer drops, if
there are headers and/or footers) must be chosen so that all text to be
printed, including any headers and footers, falls inside the printable
zone. See Section 7.1 of the Manual.

We hope that you will find the Rubicon Publisher both useful and
enjoyable. We believe that it out-performs all other products in its
price class, and that its output compares favorably with the most
expensive (and complicated) desktop publishers.

Of course, no software product is ever perfect: improved future versions
of the Rubicon Publisher are already in the planning stages, and input
from our customers is always welcome. If you have suggestions<L->changes
which would make the Publisher easier to use, new features or
capabilities which you would like to have, additional hardware you would
like the Publisher to support<L->please let us know.

evaluation is against the law, unless you purchase a user's licence.

When you register, you will receive a copy of the Commercial Edition of
the current version of the Publisher. The Commercial Edition is too
large for convenient distribution as Shareware, and contains licensed
third-party software not available as shareware. It therefore includes
the following important features, not found in the Shareware Edition:

<il0.5in><qz>
*<N>Automatic Optimal Paragraph Composition<QL>
*<N>Automatic Hyphenation<QL>
*<N>Graphics (LaserJet & Postscript)<QL>
*<N>Rubicon's Times, Helv, Classic, Nova and Courier soft fonts<QL>
<M><M>in wide range of point sizes<QL>
*<N>Bold Italic soft fonts<QL>
*<N>Installation Utility for third-party soft fonts<QL>
*<N>Font compression utilities<QL>

<il><qz>
You will also receive a printed copy of the complete Reference Manual,
which provides full documentation of all features of the Publisher,
together with a glossary of technical terms, a quick reference guide,
numerous worked examples, and much other useful information which would
not fit in the Concise Manual included with the Shareware distribution
files. For period of one year, you will be entitled to purchase all
program updates, for an update licence fee of $15.00.
