PRODUCTION NOTES

The files in this directory (docsrc) are the LaTeX2e source for
cstruct.pdf and cstructpr.pdf.

The first of these is configured for on-screen viewing, and
contains links produced with the hyperref package.  The page
size of 6.2"x5.5" is aimed at having an entire page on the
screen at a readable resolution.

The second is configured for double-sided printing on 8.5"x11"
paper, suitable for a loose-leaf notebook.

Our initial hope was to produce instead a PDF version for
printing and an HTML version for viewing, from the same LaTeX
source.  The only complex formating is one simple table; there
is no mathematics.

We were attracted by Ian Hutchinson's TtH program, which can be
used as a LaTeX to HTML filter; but unfortunately we didn't read
the documentation early enough to constrain our LaTeX source
properly.  We remain impressed by TtH and hope to give it
another try later.

We got quite a bit further with Eitan Gurari's TeX4ht, which
without tweaking produced HTML output that we could have edited
into shape by hand.  But we put that off for another day.

Perhaps the moral is that we should have used texinfo instead of
LaTeX, since we understand it to be constrained enough as is for
HTML output.  Unfortunately, we are familiar with LaTeX and
unfamiliar with texinfo.

We used LaTeX 2000.1.28, hyperref 6.67h, dvips 5.86d, all with
CMacTex 3.5, along with Adobe Distiller 3.02 for the Macintosh. 
We did not succeed in getting the hypperref pagebackref option
to work properly, possibly because our bibliography entries are
complicated by the two output configurations.  We had to work
around a problem in Distiller 3.02 which is probably well-known
(at least we don't *think* the problem is elsewhere in the
chain).  Namely, its page-size job option reverses the width and
height when we set them to 6.2" and 5.5", respectively, whereas
it works fine for 8.5" and 11", respectively.  The solution is
to make the width in Distiller 5.5" and the height 6.2".  The
PDF output then shows the proper 6.2" width and 5.5" height in
Acrobat Reader 3.01 and 4.0.5.
