mkchap is a shell script that will generate the PostScript for a chapter
and compress it, making it ready for Netscape browsing. Determine by
xdvi book
the range of pages that you want to include in the chapter. Execute
mkchap f4_family 97-110
to create a file called f4_family.ps.gz with pages 97 through 110

Examples of some problems and fixes given at the bottom of this text.
EXAMPLES OF THIS AND THAT
%%%%%%%%%%% equation can be bracketed this way \beq ...\ee{eq_name} :
\beq
\left(
i \hbar {\partial \over \partial t}
+ {\hbar^2\over 2m} {\partial^2 \over \partial q^2}
- V(q)
\right) \psi(q,t) = 0
\,,
\ee{schrod}
%%%%%%%%%%% equation ARRAY can be bracketed this way
%%%%%%%%%%% \bea ... \continue &=& .... \label{eq_name}\eea :
%%%%%%%%%%% (you tend to forget &=& in the first line...)
\bea
Z(k) &=& \exp\left( - \sum_p \sum_r^{\infty} {1 \over r}
{ t_p^r
\over \left( 1- 1/\Lambda_p^r \right) }
\right)
\continue
t_p &=& z^{n_p} { e^{-\frac{i}{\hbar} S_p + i \pi m_p/2}
\over {\sqrt{|\Lambda_p|} }}
\,.
\label{arr_name}
\eea
%%%%%%%%%%% to split a long equation
try \lefteqn
%%%%%%%%%%% margin comment looks like this:
\PC{Predrag's text printed on the margin:}
\DG{Dorte's text printed on the margin:}
\AJ{Ander's text printed on the margin:}
%%%%%%%%%%% equations, chapters, sections, tables, figures, etc
%%%%%%%%%%% are refered to by \ref...{type_name}:
manuscript ---> LaTeX version
table 21.2 ---> \reftab{t_21.2}
(21.5) - --> \refeq{21.2}
For example:
Substitute this into \refeq{schrod} and differentiate.
In the spirit of \refchap{c_ev_oper} we introduce ...
As in \refsect{s_oper} we generate the \reftable{t_haha},
and plot the result in \reffig{f_hoho}. ...
%%%%%%%%%%% manuscript reference like (18.5) becomes \refeq{18.5}
%%%%%%%%%%% put *.ps, *.eps figures into directory figs/
%

if you Netscape to
http://www.nbi.dk/~cats/predrag/group_the/
click on
list of birdtracks
and click on ''orientation'' ''Landscape'' you will get the list of all
existing diagrams and commands that call them forth
%%%%%%%%%%% symbols in the text
should always be sandwiched $\cdots$, for example
parameter $a$, $n$-th value of $A$, ...
