TeX

tex logo

TeX is a typesetting system created by Donald Knuth at Stanford University in 1978. TeX works by reading a source file containing text and macro definitions which instruct the TeX engine how to typeset the document. It also reads TFM files containing character widths, ligatures, and other information relevant to a particular font. After processing the source document, TeX outputs a DVI file which is a device-independent binary file containing the positions of all characters in the document. The DVI file is then supposed to be processed by a device-specific program that combines the DVI file with the necessary fonts to create something that can be sent to a printer. Nowadays it is more common to use one of the extensions to TeX, e.g. pdfTeX which outputs a pdf file instead of a DVI file.

The current tufte-book documentation has no guidance on the how to display epigraphs. Use of the \epigraph package seems incongruous with the general style and theme of the tufte-book class. Could guidance be given on a way to display quotes at the beginning of a chapter?

I use this PDF with my students in a middle school. They have commented that they think the diagrams aren't big enough, especially compared to the pages from the orginal Byrne which I was giving them. Compare, just as an example, Book 1 Prop 13. The original is much "chunkier" (in the words of my students.) Is it possible to easily change the size of the diagrams, or would that require a complete

I am a novice at Go, so this might have an obvious reason/solution, however I have run into a problem on the first page of the book. It says to use godoc hash to read about the hash package. I tried that and it says this:

Unexpected arguments. Use "go doc" for command-line help output instead. For example, "go doc fmt.Printf".
usage: godoc -http=localhost:6060

When using `go doc

The current documentation states for the "add-confirm" setting that: "If set to True, every time you run papis add the flag --confirm will be added automatically." This would seem to imply that the default value (False) prevents the confirmation message from showing up when you run "papis add [file]" from the command line. However, one must include the --batch flag in order to accomplish that (add

On page 1164, the documentation to \pgfpointtransformednonlinear reads:

Works like \pgfpointtransformed, but also applies the current nonlinear transformation...

However, \pgfpointtransformed is not documented at all - but it really should be, I'd say it is rather a rather important function.

For developers, it would also be nice to know what the recommended way
