218.0. "SOFT.SPEC doctype design "bug"" by COOKIE::JOHNSTON () Tue Apr 07 1987 21:30

Just noticed that SOFT.SPEC doctype has a doctype design "bug".
Chapter numbers and titles print on the left, but appendix 
letters and titles print on the right.  Haven't tested Glossary.

I think I like the numbers and titles on the right, like appendix (this
week, anyway; I do I have a fickle mind).  But I'm personally bottom-line
indifferent so long as they're eventually the same.  Your doctype designer
knows best!

218.1Rules here, but not thereCOOKIE::JOHNSTONTue Apr 07 1987 21:315
Appendices also get rules, whereas chapters do not.  At least
under the appendix title; haven't tried an appendix section.

218.2Text font smaller?JAWS::STRYKERStew StrykerWed Apr 08 1987 13:593
    Is it my imagination, or are the text fonts used in the
    SOFTWARE.SPECIFICATION doctype smaller than, say that of the GENERAL
    doctype?
218.3no, I don't think soCLOSET::ANKLAMThu Apr 09 1987 16:107
    
    the text fonts are the same. I've already caught most of the
    inconsistencies in the SOFT.SPEC major heading designs, but will
    double-check...

218.4Mea Culpa, or however you spell itJAWS::STRYKERStew StrykerFri Apr 10 1987 09:576
    I now believe that I was comparing the font size of the abstract to
    that of the body text.  I then probably managed to further confirm my
    misguided delusions by comparing two versions that were printed
    using styles with different gutter widths.  Sorry about that.

218.5My eyes must be failing...BUNSUP::LITTLETodd Little NJCD SWS 323-4475Fri Apr 17 1987 14:356
    Strange, I too seem to feel that either the font got smaller or
    maybe lighter weight for SOFT.SPEC than it was in BL6 GENERAL.
    Weird...
