Have "modernised" the manuals.
1. By default it now uses pdflatex. Postscript can still be generated
with "make ps".
* Authors should not use pstricks - it doesn't work with pdflatex.
* The commuting diagrams in the tutorial have been redone with
XP-pic -- with much less code.
* Other figures can be included with "\includegraphics", which is provided
by the graphicx package. Just make sure you upload EPS and PDF versions
of the diagrams.
* The Covers directory and old logos have been removed -- they weren't
maintainable. (Have tarted up the title.tex pages.)
2. The make files have been updated and cleaned up. There is
now "make clean" option in $HOLDIR/Manuals.
* As a side note, I noticed that a call to "make" in $HOLDIR/Manuals didn't
do anything on Mac OS X. I had to do "make -B".
3. Have eliminated font substitution errors.
* Don't include the charter.sty package - the font is now changed
in LaTeX/layout.sty. This avoids changing the \tt font, which
causes problems with \section{\texttt{stuff}}.
* Left and right braces in \tt font can be a problem. \{ and \} give
maths font, which is fine in places. \verb%{}% will work but
\verb can't be used in certain places (inside another command).
Have added \lb and \rb to LaTeX/commands.tex. These are just
\char'173 and \char'175 and can be used anywhere.
4. Have commented out the mucking about with page numbering.
* This means that if you do a goto page N (in Acrobat, Preview.app etc.)
then you go to page N of the main text. (Stops folks having to add
an offset to entries in the index.)
5. Have made things more compatible with amsmath.
* The environment "boxed" (LaTeX/commands.tex) has been renamed to "holboxed".
* Have changed "\over" to "\frac".
* amsmath is turned on in the Logic manual, mainly to get text subscripts
typesetting better.
6. Have removed a bunch of hbox (and other) warnings.
* Don't do "\begin{session}\begin{hol}\begin{verbatim}...", do
"\begin{session}\begin{verbatim}..." instead.
* Don't use "\begin{hol}\begin{verbatim}..." is item lists.
Instead just do "\begin{verbatim}".
* Have done some small text edits - hopefully these are okay.
* A few more warnings remain and there's not much that can be done
about underfull vboxes -- short of going with "\raggedbottom".
7. Have made Doc2TeX and reference.tex used fancyvrb, This means the
font size can be set to \small globally. Have also removed the
\samepage directive -- a few bad breaks are better than having
material bigger than the size of the page.
