Mailing List Guidelines

      WinEdt Mailing List Guidelines
      ==============================

   These guidelines are sent to the WinEdt Mailing List once a month.
   Please keep them in mind when posting to the list.

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

* What To Post

   The WinEdt Mailing List is for questions about the WinEdt editor. You
   should  not post questions concerning LaTeX, MiKTeX, BibTeX et al. to
   the mailing list. WinEdt is a shell/editor for  LaTeX  etc.  and  the
   list  is  intended  to  answer questions concerning WinEdt, not LaTeX
   etc.
   (Sometimes it might be difficult  to  decide  whether  a  problem  is
   related to WinEdt or to MiKTeX, LaTeX etc. A rule of thumb is: If you
   are having the same  problems  when  running  the  program  from  the
   command line, it is NOT related to WinEdt.)

   A lot of questions are being asked over and over  again.  Check  that
   your question isn't already answered in the WinEdt FAQ at
      <http://www.winedt.org/Doc/FAQ>
   or in the mailing list archives at
      <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinEdt>.

   When sending a question to the mailing list, try to be specific.
   Include (at least)
     + the Build number of your WinEdt (see "Help | About WinEdt...")

greek sigma and apostrophe

Re: greek sigma and apostrophe

Just a thought, but have you tried putting { } around either the ' or the 
final varsigma?

The only thing that seems to sort of work is to change into a latin 
alphabet and put a c instead, but that mixes things up and is not very 
practical.

Re: greek sigma and apostrophe

You may need to say which package(s) you
are using.  If I write

	$\varsigma'$
	\end

		and

	$\varsigma$
	\end

I get a varsigma in both cases (cf $\sigma$ \end).

Re: greek sigma and apostrophe

I use the following packages and I write the text in greek so I don't 
actually type "varsigma" but just "s" (the greek letter)
\usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
\usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc}
I was hoping that some command at the beggining or something in WinEdt 
formatting could allow this permanently without adding/changing things as I 
write text.

Thank you,
Elissaios Karageorgiou

Re: greek sigma and apostrophe

OK, so here is my minimal example :

     \documentclass {minimal}
     \usepackage[english,greek]{babel}
     \usepackage[iso-8859-7]{inputenc}
     \begin {document}
         abcds

         abc'ds'
     \end {document}

This confirms your assertion (abc'ds' -> ...\sigma' ,
rather than ...\varsigma' ), and I suspect you would
have to read the Greek appendix of the Babel
documentation (if such a thing exists) to see
if you could globally change the behaviour of s'\space
Locally, s{}' will suffice.

Re: greek sigma and apostrophe

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Re: MikTeX vs. Tex Live

Can't make TeXify.edt work with Tex Live!!!

Hi,
Using Tex Live, I can't make TeXify.edt or PDFTeXify.edt work (of
course, I'm running these macros from %B\Exec\Tex Live).
I get the following message:

"Error starting PDFTeXify!
See WinEdt's Tex Configuration Wizard
for detailed diagnosis of your TeX system."

I already did that, but everything looks fine there.

If it's of any help, I'll paste the resulting diagnosis below.
Thanks for any help!

Summary 
===========

Your TeX installation appears to be fine. If you experience problems
after an application has been launched this usually isn't a
WinEdt-related matter. In such case, you should test a problematic
application from the Command Prompt, consult the documentation that
comes with your software, and try to locate the real source of your
problem...

Searching for Executables:
==========================

WinEdt will try to locate external executables based on the
information stored in the variables that were imported from Windows
Registry in its Startup Macro. If some components are not found follow
the instructions. Some applications such as, for example, TtH or HHC
are optional; you can ignore any messages about the "missing"
accessories that you are not intending to use...

TeX-Root: OK
  D:\TeX\TexLive
TeX-Bin:  OK
  D:\TeX\TexLive\bin\win32

TeX-Help Folder: OK

TeX-Bin (dvipdfm.exe): OK*
  D:\TeX\TexLive\bin\win32\dvipdfm.exe

TtH: (tth.exe): not Found
****************************************************
TtH is an optional LaTeX to HTML convertor. If TtH is installed on
your system you should modify the PATH to include its location (or
else place "tth.exe" to TeX's Binary folder or somewhere else on
WinEdt's PATH).

For a variety TeX convertors visit www.tug.org and follow the
information and links on this page. TtH can be found at:

  http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth

Unless you want to convert TeX files into html format you can safely
ignore this message because you don't need this application for
TeX-ing...

Please note that TeX convertors are not really a WinEdt-related issue...
****************************************************

GS-Bin: (gswin32c.exe): OK*
  C:\gs\gs8.60\bin\gswin32c.exe

GSView: OK (REG)
  "d:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\AcroDist.exe"

AcroRead: OK (REG)
  "d:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe"
  d:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ACROBA~1.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe

HHC: not Found
  "hhc.exe"
****************************************************
HHC (HTML Help Workshop and Compiler) is determined in Startup.edt
from the Windows Registry. WinEdt did not find any valid registry
entries pertaining to HHC. If you are planning to use HHC make sure
that MS HTML Help Workshop (free download from www.microsoft.com) is
properly installed on your system. If absolutely necessary, you can
edit WinEdt's Startup Macro and explicitly enter definition of the
executable:

  // Detect MS HTML Workshop in Windows Registry!
  ...
  // Enter it Manually if not found
  Assign("HHC",|"C:\...\HTML Help Workshop\hhc.exe"|);

Unless you want to use the HTML Help compiler to create your own
".chm" files you can safely ignore this message because you don't need
this application...
