As Mike point out since the USA are very decentralized, there is a lot more inertia with these things. I'm slowly getting better at converting furlong-hundredweight-fortnight measurements to MKS. I still convert Farenheit to Celsius to figure out if it's cold outside :-)
The file prints fine. Other quibbles: 1. The "note" up front: translate 'oder' to 'or'. 2. sec 3.3.4.3, table: the word 'add' is sometimes in the default font, sometimes marked 'Sans Serif'. 3. sec 3.3.4.4, second *: it's _displayed_ math that doesn't work in a section heading. Inline math is fine. 4. sec 3.3.6.2, second-to-last paragraph: the ERT "\linebreak" seemes unneccesary. If it's needed, replace with 'C-Return'. 5. 3.4.1, discussion of keybindings: do consider a footnote reminding R-To-L users that "S-M-Left", "S-M-Right" decrease and increase the nesting level respectively, regardless of the direction of the paragraph! 6. 3.4.2, "Unnestable": Part* and Chapter* in 'default' rather than 'Sans Serif' font. 7. 5.7.2, example: this should use '\cases' rather than a 2x2 matrix. [independently, does '\cases' deserve its own subsection?] Lior On Wed, 25 Feb 2004, Uwe St�hr wrote: > On my system LaTeX uses by default the paper format A4, so hopefully it > will use USletter on US systems. > It was new for me that the USA don't use the ISO standard. > But I tried to reproduce your problem and printed the Userguide in > USletter format on A4 without any problems.
