2006-02-14  Karl Berry  <karl@gnu.org>

	* doc/texinfo.tex: update from texinfo

2006-01-27  Karl Berry  <karl@gnu.org>

	* doc/texinfo.tex: update from texinfo

2006-01-13  Karl Berry  <karl@gnu.org>

	* doc/.cvsignore: .

	* doc/eplain.texi, ChangeLog, doc/Makefile, doc/eplain.info, doc/eplain.pdf:
	move contents

2006-01-12  Karl Berry  <karl@gnu.org>

	* doc/eplain.texi: move @contents to front; also include
	@shortcontents.
	* doc/Makefile (eplain/index.html): don't try to create links if
		they already exist.
	* doc/.cvsignore: ignore links, etc.
	And upload to lulu ...

2006-01-06  Oleg Katsitadze  <olegkat@gmail.com>

	* doc/progdef.texi (\ifempty): New subsection.

2006-01-05  Oleg Katsitadze  <olegkat@gmail.com>

	* doc/intro.texi: Reference to David Walden's article.

	* INSTALL, doc/install.texi:  Removed info on etex.fmt and emtex.
	Updated recommended installation locations.

	* doc/eplain.texi:  Added variable index (for environment vars in
	install.texi) and redirected program and variable indices into
	concept index.

	* Makefile: Removed etex.tex.
	* etex.tex: Removed.

	* xeplain.tex: Improved hyperlink messages.

	* doc/Makefile: Use texi2dvi --pdf instead of texi2pdf.

	* xeplain.tex (beginpackages):  Save and restore \input to avoid
	redefinition by miniltx.tex and packages (\packageinput stores the
	redefinition).

	* test/usepackage.tex: Added \enablehyperlinks (this test depends
	on hyperlinks being enabled).  Added test for \urldef from
	url.sty.

	* xeplain.tex:  Added \protected@edef for \urldef from url.sty.
	(hldriver@nolinks):  The label argument to \hlstart and \hldest
	must be passed to \write-1 _fully expanded_, otherwise macros that
	the label uses may become redefined/undefined by the time the page
	is shipped out and the \write is executed (this resulted in URLs
	defined with \urldef to fail under the nolinks driver).
	(@generalref):  Use \@generalref@class instead of \temp, since
	\@generalrefoptarg can possibly trash \temp.

2005-12-26  Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>

	* doc/texinfo.tex: update from texinfo

2005-12-23  Oleg Katsitadze  <olegkat@gmail.com>

	on LaTeX graphics.

	* demo/xhyper.tex:
	Input ../eplain instead of eplain, in case Eplain is not (yet)
	properly installed.

	* doc/Makefile:
	Added _FLAG variables for each program used.  Split targets like
	`pdf eplain.pdf' and made pdf depend on eplain.pdf, etc. (otherwise
	`make pdf' always rebuilds eplain.pdf).  Added rules and dependencies
	for the demo file images.
	(ps): New target.

	* Makefile:
	Added demo subdir.  Changed all calls to Make to use $(MAKE).
	(ps): New target.

	* pdfcrop.pl, demo/Makefile, doc/demo.texi: New files.

	* AUTHORS: Added pdfcrop.pl.

	(Footnote hyperlinks): Showed how to turn off footnote hyperlinks.

	\enablehyperlinks for the dual links/nolinks output.
	(Setting default types and options):  Example of how to turn off
	boxes for the links.

	* doc/eplain.texi: Changed the title.  Included demo.texi.

2005-09-25  Oleg Katsitadze  <geolsoft@mail.ru>

	* Makefile, doc/Makefile: Remove intermediate files from the
	tarball.  NOTE:  It was agreed not to include aux, toc, and index
	files into the tarball, because if the user compiles the manual
	with the command `tex eplain.texi' for a different paper size
	(specified, e.g., in texinfo.cnf), then the references, TOC and
	indexes will be off without the user knowing about it.

2005-09-23  Oleg Katsitadze  <geolsoft@mail.ru>

	* Makefile:
	Added intermediate files (aux, toc, ??, ??s) to MANUALS so that
	they are included in the tarball (later reverted, see above).

2004-08-31  Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>

        * xeplain.tex: \def\endcolumns{\singlecolumn} instead of \let...

        Suggested by TeXdraw author Peter Kabal
        <kabal@ece.mcgill.ca>.        

Sat Apr 9 00:17:00 2000 Adam Lewenberg <adam@macrotex.net>

        * xeplain.tex: Fixed problem introduced when double column uneven 
	bug was `fixed'. 

Sun Apr 25 22:30:00 1999 Adam Lewenberg <ahl@uakron.edu>

        * doc/progdef.texi: Added a section on user-defined environments
	to progdef.texi and fixed a few typos in documentation. Suggested
	by Paul Abrahams.  
	
Thu May 14 11:30:00 1998  Adam Lewenberg <ahl@uakron.edu>

        * xeplain.tex: Changed \columnfill after suggestion of 
        Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@IGPM.Rwth-Aachen.DE>. 
       
Wed Dec 5 09:10:00 1997  Adam Lewenberg <adam@math.uiuc.edu>

        * Version 2.7.

        * xeplain.tex: Added the control sequence \gutterbox as a hook
        to add arbitrary vertical material between columns in
        multi-column mode. 
       
Wed Mar 26 07:17:00 1997  Adam Lewenberg <adam@math.uiuc.edu>

        * xeplain.tex: Moved an \obeywhitespace to the end of the
        definition of \verbatim to remove spurious space.
        Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. 

Wed Jan 28 08:00:00 1997  Adam Lewenberg <adam@math.uiuc.edu>

        * xeplain.tex: Added \def\@emptymarkA{\@emptymarkB} so that
        \ifempty\undefined is false. Suggested by Stanislav Brabec. 

Sat Oct 5 18:11:00 1996  Adam Lewenberg <adam@math.uiuc.edu>

        * xeplain.tex: Changed a line in the definition of \@fineqdefn
        to remove a \noexpand which seemed to be causing a problem
        with \eqdef. 

Tue Sep 24 10:25:00 1996  Adam Lewenberg <adam@math.uiuc.edu>

        * xeplain.tex: Added some code to multiple columns so that
        when switching from multi- to single-columns the last line or
        so does not get lost. Let's hope it works; added a \newif. 

Wed Apr 1 10:11:00 1996  Adam Lewenberg <adam@math.uiuc.edu>

        * arrow.tex: changed \smash to \smash@@ (a synonym for plain's 
        smash) so that arrow.tex works with amstex.
	
        * xeplain.tex: Put a test at the start so that eplain.tex is loaded
        only once.
	
	* xeplain.tex: changed -1in to -1truein in margin macros; 
	Macros affected:
  	    \@finishtopmargin
	    \@finishleftmargin
	    \@computebottommargin
	    \@computerightmargin
	    \indexsetmargins.
	Also, initialize \paperheight to 11truein and \paperwidth to
        8.5truein when \mag is not 1000.

        These changes forced a redefinition of \magnification in the event
        that \magnification is called AFTER eplain.tex is \input (in
        particular, when \magnification is used with an eplain .fmt). 

        * xeplain.tex: changed {toc} to {#1} in the definition of 
	\readcontentsfile to allow more general use. 

        * merge: the merge script improperly replaced "xeplain" by "eplain"
        in too many places.

Sat Dec  1 07:44:52 1990  Karl Berry  (karl at hayley)

          Also, don't put a \ in the invalid example.

        * eplain.texinfo (Allocation macros): use `proclaim' in the
          example, not `innerproclaim'.

        * xeplain.tex (\alwaysspace): use \font instead of \the\font.

        * xeplain.tex (^^I): use \fontdimen2\font, instead of \tt, since

Sun Nov 25 09:30:46 1990  Karl Berry  (karl at hayley)

        (Cross-references): ditto.

        * xeplain.tex (\ifxrefwarning): define to be \if@citewarning, so
          changes to the latter are reflected in the former.

          other typos corrected.

        * btxmac.tex (\@innerdef): new macro to give an inner definition
          to an outer control sequence.
          (\@innernewcount, \@innernewdimen, \@innernewif,
           \@innernewwrite): use it to define these macros.
        * xeplain.tex: make \innernewcount et al. synonyms for the above,
          and also make inner versions of all the other plain TeX macros.
        * eplain.texinfo (Allocation macros): new section to document this.

Sat Oct 27 09:46:54 1990  Karl Berry  (karl at hayley)

        * eplain.tex becomes xeplain.tex; a shell script `merge' puts
          definitions from btxmac.tex that are used in the rest of eplain
          into xeplain, creating eplain.tex.  Also, a new conditional,
          \ifnobibtex, determines whether we read btxmac.tex or not.
          (Being able to not read btxmac suggested by Paul.)

        generalized to arbitrary dimensions.
        (\vfootnote): advance \splittopskip by \interfootnoteskip, so that
        split footnotes have the right amount of space at the top.
        * footnote.tex: test the new dimension parameters.
