Package: linuxdoc-tools
Version: 0.9.21
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The LaTeX input files generated with sgml2latex contain obsolete or
unnecessary code. In particular,
- instead of t1enc, [T1]{fontenct} should be used (see
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=t1enc); this is of
minor importance (the URL says:
,----
| So, unless you have program-generated T1 input, use
| \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} rather than \usepackage{t1enc}.
`----
This of course assumes that the program that generates the input knows
what it does; it might be easier to use fontenc.sty once you have the
first input files in UTF-8 and also use the respective inputenc
option.
- The package gives hyperref.sty an explicit "pdftex" option if PDF is
produced. This isn't necessary, since hyperref detects the engine by
itself. Furthermore, hyperref is disabled for dvi output. I don't
know why this has been done, but for sure it isn't necessary. Note
that xdvi and probably other dvi viewers have hyperlink support
built-in, so it is useful even if no pdf is produced. Only if dvipdfm
is to be used for processing the dvi output, you need to pass hyperref
the respective option.
I attach a patch that fixes these issues.
- the epsfig package is horribly outdated, and should be replaced by
graphicx (the successor of its successor). However, this is not
trivial because the syntax for file inclusion has changed; therefore
the patch keeps epsfig.sty.
