Haskell update to prg2lout

Hi all,

when setting Haskell source code I got

1412,14: prg2lout 92,13: skipping unexpected  <at>  character

when the code contained "at"-patterns. These characters
got ignored.

The attached patch corrects the problem. Also, it
removes the unused HaskellBacktickToken definition
and adds the "mdo" reserved word.

Cheers,

"downifneeded <at> Scale" miscalculates the scaling factor

Hi,

It seems that "downifneeded  <at> Scale", as well as the ` <at> Scale' that's
automatically inserted when an object is too large, miscalculates the
scaling factor.

The example below illustrates this problem: in a margin-less document,
we create a box larger than the page and scale it down.  The scaled-down
box should fill the whole page width but doesn't.  The same problem can
be observed when commenting out "downifneeded  <at> Scale".

   <at> SysInclude { langdefs} # language definitions
   <at> SysInclude { bsf	} # BasicSetup package
   <at> SysInclude { dsf	} # DocumentSetup package
   <at> SysInclude { docf	} # OrdinarySetup extension

   <at> Use {  <at> BasicSetup }
   <at> Use {  <at> DocumentSetup
     <at> PageWidth		{ 100c }
     <at> OddLeftMargin	{ 0c }
     <at> OddRightMargin	{ 0c }
     <at> EvenLeftMargin	{ 0c }
     <at> EvenRightMargin	{ 0c }
  }

   <at> Use {  <at> OrdinarySetup }

   <at> SysDatabase  <at> FontDef  { fontdefs }		  # font definitions
   <at> SysDatabase  <at> RefStyle { refstyle }		  # reference printing styles

[PATCH] Add ` <at> XXXFormat' options for the title page of `slides'

Hi,

The attached patch adds ` <at> XXXFormat' options driving the layout of the
title page of `slides' documents.  The default layout remains unchanged.

Thanks,
Ludovic.

Paragraph with multiple columns

Re: Paragraph with multiple columns

Lout is not very good at this; it doesn't have any idea
where to stop filling the first column and start filling
the second, so as to get the two columns to be the same
height.

I think your best bet is to get as close as you can
with a two-column table.  Alternatively, tell us more
about the application and we can talk over the possibilities.

The documentation for `ordinary documents' (Section 3.1 of
the User's Guide) has some stuff about multiple columns,
but I don't think it will be much use to you.

Exam macro/format

Hi,

I have to write a multiple choice exam paper and would like to use
lout to handle the formatting. Before I attempt to make a document
format to do this, I wondered whether somebody has done this before
and would be will to share it with me.

Kind regards,

New Lout website up and about

Hi all,

Remo and I have more or less completed moving the material from
the old wiki to a new website that is hosted on SF's wiki
services. Some material, such as links, have been refreshed. The
old URL will also redirect to the new site at:

    http://lout.wiki.sourceforge.net/

The wiki is protected so that maintenance needs are minimal. If
anyone is interested in signing up for a spot of editing for the
Lout wiki, please let me know. Keeping the Lout website in this
form is also the method with the lowest barrier to entry; as long
as there is at least one SF project leader responding, the wiki
can be accessed and edited.

If anyone has stuff to add, please post the material to this
mailing list and I'll pick it up and add it to the wiki. Comments
and suggestions are welcome, but be aware that I prefer to aim for
minimal maintenance effort so that it is sustainable in the long term.
