: Subject: BETA Testers Wanted
: To: LitProg at SHSU.edu
:
: I need some beta testers for a pretty-printer for TeX.
:
: LitTeX is a program and a set of macros to typeset TeX source
: code.  I was unhappy with the way that tgrind, fweb, and noweb
: process TeX files.  So I wrote my own.
:
: Current features are:
:
:     Major and minor sections.
:     Automatic generation of table of contents
:     Automatic generation of index.  Index is of all control
:         sequences in the file.  Option of specifying control
:         sequences to be left out of the index.
:     Placement of rules:  hairline, single, double.
:         rules are supressed prior to major and minor sections
:         as well as at the top of a page.
:     Limited understanding of \catcode changes.  This means
:         that if @ (or any other character) if made a letter,
:         control sequences with the specified character will
:         be included in the index.
:     Lines may be omited from the typeset document.  This
:         is useful for things like version control statements.
:
: LitTeX, the program, runs under MS-Dos.  After beta test both
: the macros and the source to the formatting program will be
: available.  I want to keep the source until I am sure it is a
: bit more stable.
:
: If you would like to see an example of what LitTeX can do to
: your TeX source file, send it to me and I will send back the
: converted file as well as the macros to typeset it.  I have
: typeset plain.tex with LitTeX.
:
: I currently do not have out-going ftp access so I cannot
: post LitTeX to an ftp site.
:
: Beta-test copies will be a uuencoded .zip file using pkzip 2.04g.
: It will include the program, the macros, and some documentation
: on how to use LitTeX.
