BUGS IN AND CHANGES TO LATEX
----------------------------
1. Some file extensions were in upper case. Makes no difference for
TOPS-20, but messes up on Unix. (Corrected 18 Dec 83)
2. Glossary command wrote .IDX instead of .GLO file. (Corrected 18 Dec 83)
3. Size-changing commands add a blank space. (Corrected 22 Dec 83)
4. \mainbaselineskip has been eliminated, being replaced by the
parameter \baselinestretch. All font-size-changing commands, which
are the commands that change \baselineskip, multiply the normal value
of \baselineskip for the chosen font by \baselinestretch.
\baselinestretch can be changed at any time by a \renewcommand
command, but doing so affects only the next font-size-changing
command. Note that the \begin{document} command executes a \normal
command to set the font size initially.) (Change made to version 2.01,
on 1 Jan 1984.)
5. \writecommand has been eliminated and a new command \protect added.
Writing \protect\foo makes \foo do the right thing in an array or
tabular @-expression and in the argument of a sectioning or caption
command. When used in an \addcontents command, \protect\foo has the
same effect that \writecommand{\foo} used to. Writing
\section{\protect\foo} achieves what writing
\section[\writecommand{\foo}]{\foo} used to. The .STY files must now
\let\protect=\noexpand when doing a \mark. (Change made to version
2.02 on 11 Jan 1984.)
6. The error message 'This is a LaTeX bug' has been changed to
'This may be a LaTeX bug', since it is possible for a user error
to cause it. (Change made to version 2.02 on 11 Jan 1984.)
7. A new error message 'Missing \item' has been added. It detects
an error that previously caused TeX to hang up. I THINK that
it can be caused only by a missing \item in a list environment.
(Change made before 26 Jan 1984)
8. A tabbing environment inside a list environment will use the
document's outer right margin rather than the right margin of the
list environment. (Corrected 7 February 1984.)
9. \newcommand doesn't work if there's a \par in the definition.
(corrected 17 Jan 1984)
10. \newlist has been given an optional argument, which can come right
before the last mandatory argument. This optional argument specifies
the number of arguments the new list environment has. These arguments
can be mentioned in the last mandatory argument just as in the
\newcommand command. For example, you can write
\newlist{labellist}{}{}[1]{\item [#1:]}
(Change made 27 Jan 1984)
11. A missing entry in an array or tabular environment may cause
trouble -- e.g., writing '& &'. until this is corrected, you can
add a null item, such as '\mbox{}'. (Corrected 8 Feb 84.)
12. No longer applicable.
13. The page headings don't come out right on float pages in twoside
page layouts. (Left-hand headings come out on right-hand pages.)
Found by Gary Swanson. (Corrected 8 Feb 84.)
14. By popular demand, a new environment eqnarray is being added
to LaTeX. \begin{eqnarray} ... \end{eqnarray} acts like
\[ \begin{array}{lcl} ... \end{array} \]
except that
1. An equation number is put on every line, unless
there is a \nonumber command anywhere on that line.
2. Page breaking can occur between lines of an equation,
so the *-form of the \\ command is useful.
3. There is an extra \jot amount of space added between lines.
Also, document-style designers who want to change where and how
equations are numbered, should look for \@eqnnum in LATEX.TEX
to see what to do; you no longer change \endequation.
(Change made to version 2.03 on 6 Feb 84)
15. An eqnarray* environment has been added. It's the same as
eqnarray except it doesn't number the equations.
(Change made to version 2.03' on 7 Feb 84)
16. A test should be made at the end of a list to check that
it ends with an item---see manual change 4 below.
(Change made on 8 Feb 84.)
17. The tabbing environment doesn't work right when inside a list
environment if it's the first thing after an \item command.
(Corrected 8 February 1984)
18. \protect now works in the argument of \typeout and \typein,
so \typeout{Command \protect\foo} types out 'Command \foo'.
(Change made to version 2.04 on 16 February 1984.)
19. \typein doesn't work if the last item typed in by the user is a
control sequence. (Corrected 22 February 1984)
20. A whole new method of handling fonts has been introduced. LaTeX
no longer produces an error if a typeface hasn't been preloaded. It
either loads it or else substitutes a different font and types a
warning. The commands \boldmath and \unboldmath have been added,
allowing the user to produce boldface symbols and math formulas. See
LERRATA.TEX for a description of these commands. Note: to be
consistent, \boldmath should change the boldness of the characters
that come from the math extension font. However, I don't have a bold
version of the AMEX font, so I can't implement that. (Change made to
version 2.05 on 22 February 1984)
21. LPLAIN is changed so \rightline, \leftline and \centerline work.
However, the LaTeX \line command bears no relation to PLAIN TeX's
\line command. (Changed 28 Feb 1984)
22. The 'Missing \item' error message changed to
'Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.' (Changed 28 Feb 1984)
23. \protect now works in the argument of an \index command.
(2 Mar 1984)
24. A ']' in a section title or caption caused an error.
(Corrected 6 Mar 1984)
25. The commands to automatically load needed fonts have a bug.
Suppose, for example, that \sl is not preloaded for the \small size.
The first time you use \sl inside a \small environment, it works OK.
However, subsequent \sl commands inside the same \small environment
are no-ops. \sl works fine the next time you execute \small.
In other words,
{\small ... \sl SLANTED \rm ROMAN \sl ROMAN!} ... {\small \sl works ok here}
(Found by David Smith, Corrected 16 Mar 1984)
26. Setting \textwidth before the \begin{document} doesn't work. Can
be fixed by putting a \onecolumn or \twocolumn command after the
command to set \textwidth. (Found by Mark Moriconi, Corrected 18 Mar 1984.)
27. For one-sided output, LaTeX uses \evensidemargin f
