61879b3a | 6 | This directory contains the source of the "Introduction to Programming |
e8ea3caf EZ |
7 | in Emacs Lisp" written by Robert J. Chassell, bob@gnu.org. This |
8 | manual is an elementary introduction to programming in Emacs Lisp for | |
9 | people who are not programmers, and who are not necessarily interested | |
10 | in programming, but who do want to customize or extend their computing | |
11 | environment. | |

16 | The Texinfo source file `emacs-lisp-intro.texi', formats without | |
61879b3a RC |
17 | reported error using `pdfeTeXk', Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C |
18 | 7.5.4) and texinfo.tex version 2006-08-26.17 started by `texi2dvi' | |
19 | version 4.8, and with `makeinfo' version 4.8. | |

21 | Also, this tar file contains the following optional Encapsulated Post | |
22 | Script figures. | |

35 | See the beginning of the `emacs-lisp-intro.texi' file for appropriate | |
36 | settings. These figures are not necessary; they are merely nice to | |
37 | look at --- without them you get the same figures printed with ASCII | |
38 | characters. | |
39 | ||
40 | Whether and how you print PostScript depends on your site. You not | |
41 | only need to set 'print-postscript-figures' before creating the .dvi | |
42 | file, but then must convert the .dvi file to .ps with a 'dvips' or | |
43 | equivalent command. | |
44 | ||
45 | On some systems you will see an error message when `psfig.tex' is | |
46 | loaded for the last two .eps files: | |
47 | ||
48 | ! No room for a new \write . | |
49 | ||
50 | If this happens, try `epsf.tex' instead of `psfig.tex', or try typing | |
51 | RET at the error; the formatting may continue successfully. | |
52 | ||
53 | Or else find the section that says: | |
54 | ||
55 | @c !!! Clear print-postscript-figures if the computer formatting this | |
56 | @c document is too small and cannot handle all the diagrams and figures. | |
57 | @c clear print-postscript-figures | |
58 | ||
59 | and change the file so it reads: @clear print-postscript-figures | |
60 | This will prevent TeX from attempting to load the last few .eps files. | |
61 | ||
62 | You will find additional instructions on formatting in the beginning | |
63 | of the Texinfo file 'emacs-lisp-intro.texi'. Best Wishes! | |
