468.0. "In-line CODE_EXAMPLE doesn't use typewriter font" by PDVAX::P_DAVIS (Peter Davis (aka SARAH::P_DAVIS)) Thu Jun 04 1987 16:10

    Why doesn't the in-line form of CODE_EXAMPLE (ie, <CODE_EXAMPLE>(code))
    use the same font as the non-in-line form?  I don't know about other
    doctypes, but in MEMO (and I think REPORT as well), using CODE_EXAMPLE
    in-line looks the same as italics.
    
    I really like the monospaced (Courier?) font used in the non-in-line
    form of CODE_EXAMPLE.  Is there another way to get the effect of a word
    or phrase in whatever typewriter font in the middle of a line of more
    typographic font?

468.1change DESIGN fileCLOSET::ANKLAMThu Jun 04 1987 18:5210
    
    that is doctype-specifiable in the DESIGN file:
    
    \def\codexampleintextfont{\codexamplefont}
    
    should produce what you want. using italics is just a common
    convention.

468.2Taking the plunge (ie, making a private doctype)PDVAX::P_DAVISPeter Davis (aka SARAH::P_DAVIS)Fri Jun 05 1987 14:5521
    Well, I tried changing this in the REPORT doctype, and it seemed
    to work ok.  Actually, I wanted tenpointmono instead of ninepointmono,
    but there doesn't seem to be any.
    
    I couldn't find any reference to codexampleintextfont in the CUP$MEMO
    doctype, but I noticed that changing it in REPORT seemed to magically
    change it in MEMO, so I guess MEMO just defines the header, and
    uses REPORT for the body of the memo.
    
    Now, since I've been monkeying around with REPORT, I'd like to define
    my own doctype based on it.  I'll call it GENERAL, since you're
    no longer using that.  I've copied the REPORT design file to
    [DOC$TOOLS.LOCAL.FORMATS]PD$GENERAL.DESIGN.  What else do I have
    to do to add this design definition to the database?
    
    Since I'm now going to have a private doctype, I'd still like to
    know how to center the damn title and abstract lines.  Is there
    an easy way to do this?
    
    Thanks.

468.3modify doc$designs.datCLOSET::ANKLAMMon Jun 08 1987 10:1310
    
    Add an entry to the file DOC$DESIGNS.DAT in DOC$LOCAL_FORMATS, such
    as:
    name GENERAL/definitions=TAG$REPORT/macros=PD$GENERAL/fonts=TEX$STANDARD_FONT
         
    (the last item is tex$standard_fonts ) this entry has to be written
    all on one line. use the existing entries in that file as a model.
