Memoir is a flexible class for typesetting poetry, fiction, non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or manuscripts. Documents can use 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, or 17pt as the normal fontsize and, if you have scalable fonts, 20pt, 25pt, 30pt, 36pt, 48pt, or 60pt sizes, or even larger. Many methods are provided to let you create your particular design. The class incorporates over 30 of the more popular packages. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK THEM ON TEX.STACKEXCHANGE.COM (PLEASE USE THE MEMOIR TAG) OR BY EMAIL TO THE MAINTAINER. PLEASE ADD MEMOIR TO THE SUBJECT. PLEASE DON'T WRITE PETER DIRECTLY AS HE IS AWAY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. Lars Madsen is maintaining memoir. WORD OF ADVISE: It is not recommended to manually update memoir into an old LaTeX installation. Not all changes are compatible with older un-updated LaTeX systems and we often make no attempt to be backwards compatible. Instead we assume that users use updated memoir with an updated LaTeX installation. Changes (2024/01/26) o memoir v3.8.2 -- In v3.8 I forgot to add some internal testing code related to \@startsection. The code experiment has now been added, but is not enabled by default. -- Axel Sommerfeldt suggested a useful macro abstraction for sidecaption and sidecontcaption that simplifies his adjustments whenever the caption package is loaded. -- Fixed a small (but important) typo in my maintainers note (Peter started memoir in 2001, not 2021) -- The Nov-2023 kernel update gave issued with our version of \verb. Now fixed by un-embedding the verbatim package. Issue first reported by Andrew Swann. -- Fixed a typo in \m@make@footnotetext where ##1 got interpreted as a macro name, not contents. Reported by Richard Zach. -- Replaced the embedded copy of the shortvrb package by loading the package instead. -- Replaced the embedded and modified copy of the verbatim package by just loading the package. Have chosen to *not* patch in the modification back in. Primarily because they are (1) disabled by default, (2) unknown how many users actually use them, (3) the implementation had errors. \setverbatimfont and the system to make comment-like envs of course stayed. The features removed are - marking tabs using several spaces - wrapping webatim text at white space Macros disabled - \tabson (\tabsoff redef to do nothing) - \wrappingon (\wrappingoff redef to do nothing) No longer used - \verbatimbreakchar - \verbatimindent Removing the embedded verbatim copy also fixes the issue with \verb+a b+ behaving like \verb*+a b+. Many of the other verbatim-like creations have had tabs support removed -- In verbatim 1.5x the macro \verbatiminput* has been altered slightly such that it also marks tabs as spaces (just like \verb* now also does via a kernel update). If 1.5x has not been released yet, we automatically apply that patch. -- Updated \readverbatim* with the same patch as \verbatiminput* so it also marks tabs as spaces. o memhfixc v1.22 -- The change Axel S. suggested in memoir removes the need for memhfixc to redefine \endsidecaption and \endsidecaption, thus those redefinitions have been removed. Changes (2023/08/21) o memoir v3.8.1 -- The new additions to \@xfloat via AddToHook is too fragile (the float package changes \@xfloat in an incompatible way). We've moved the additions to the \@floatboxreset. Changes (2023/08/14) o memoir v3.8a -- forgot to enable the announced stop if the LaTeX format is to old. -- updated the bibliography to more recent years. Changes (2023/08/08) o memoir v3.8 -- now requires a LaTeX format from 2021/06/01 or newer. The class will halt compilation (in all interaction modes) if the format is too old. -- \titleref is now an alias for \nameref (autoloaded). The class have been adjusted to provide info for sectionals and normal captions. The titleref package will remain marked as being emulated as it shouldn't be used with the class (and haven't been updated in 20+ years). -- nameref paches in the class are no longer needed -- label handling for subcaptions and friends have been reimplemented. -- no longer re-defines \label as per request of the LaTeX Team. -- booktabs is now loaded as a required package instead of being embedded -- Fixed typo in the caption of figure 2.13. Thanks to Vladimir G. Ivanović for the report. -- removed etex loading (was only loaded for kernels from before 2015). The noetex class option removed as well. -- reimplemented \pagenumbering(*) as a single macro -- additions to \@xfloat is now done via a cmd/after hook if the format version supports it. -- Definition of \theHpoem changed to \providecommand -- The \theH macros defined in memoir was modified to use \the\value{counter} instead of just \arabic{counter} as some packages change \arabic. -- \toclevel@part was actually never fixed in v3.7.19, now it is -- added \@currentcounter in various places that manually set \@currentlabel (primarily footnote constructions). Reported by Gustavo Barros. -- replaced hardcoded \footnotesize in \verbfootnote by \foottextfont -- made a small change to footnote formatting. Now one can use \raggedright in \footnotetext to get raggedright footnotes. Use with care as \raggedright does change various paragraph settings -- replaced etoolbox loading by xpatch (which loads etoolbox) as it can patch more. -- Added a Hook named memoir/subcaption/aftercounter which is executed after \refstepcounter in \subcaption, \subbottom, \subtop etc. Requested by Gustavo Barros. -- Redefinition of \@setsize removed, was copied from setspace.sty which states that it was only needed for some 209 packages. The following macros have been disabled (to either give a warning or an error). -- \namerefon and \namerefoff => warning (now always on) -- \currenttitle => error (given that many things are now "titled", relying on this to get the current "title" is too risky, use proper \label+\titleref instead) -- \theTitleReference => warning (was used in the old implementation of \titleref and \currenttitle) o memhfixc v1.21 -- All nameref patches have been removed -- provided \subfigureautorefname Changes (2022/11/17) o memoir v3.7.19 -- changed version numbering to v3.7. (no plans to switch to 3.8 anytime soon) -- changed several \theH... definitions to \def to work better with coming hyperref/tagging changes -- similar for \toclevel@... macros -- only declare \stockwidth and \stockheight if the kernel hadn't done so already o memhfixc v1.20 -- removed patch for \@starttoc and thus \Hy@AtBeginDocument is no longer used in memhfixc Changes (2022/07/29) o memoir v3.7r -- fixed typo in menual (table 7.2), \tocmark and similar does not take arguments, they have a static definition. Reported in private email by Ronno Das. -- fixed sporious space in \m@m@addamp, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/647910/3929 for details. -- made the font sizing macros robust (\normalsize, \small, ...) like with the standard classes (reported via private email) -- Addressed an issue where the combination of \DoubleSpacing and \paragraphfootnotes lead to an arithmetic overflow. Same fix has been applied to \paragraphfootstyle{...} where additionally a hardcoded 64 has been replaced by \footfudgefiddle. -- NB: Next memoir version will be labelled v3.7.19 (not v3.7s) Changed (2022/02/20) o memoir v3.7q -- Added memhfixc autoloading to memoir (via \AtEndPackage{hyperref}...), then the equivalent code can be removed from hyperref -- now auto loads the etoolbox package in order to enable a future patching approach instead of overwriting kernel macros (nb: re-coding has not started yet) -- changed definition of \medspace into \providecommand for better testing with older kernels -- added some code to a hook provided by footmisc fixing a bug with the combination of memoir+footmisc+reledmac, especially the 2022 update of footmisc -- fixed typo in manual regarding \setupmaintoc, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/602963/3929 for details. -- The LaTeX team changed the order of the file/package hook names into a more precise scheme. \AtBegin/EndFile, \AtBegin/EndPackage, \AtBegin/EndClass changed accordingly Changed (2021/06/16) o memoir v3.7p -- moved various \theHxxx definitions from memhfixc directly into memoir. They are only relevant when hyperref is loaded, but do no harm otherwise. o memhfixc v1.19 -- moved several hyperref related additions from memhfixc to memoir Changed (2021/03/23) o memoir v3.7o -- \footref will be added to the kernel, so we now "provide" it instead -- as of late 2020 the caption package will now adjust it self to the class. It will even map several of the caption styling macros the class provides onto the the corresponding setup in the caption package. Special thanks to Axel Sommerfeldt for this feature. Therefore we no longer reset in preparation for caption. -- The mparhack package is no longer marked as emulated as we did not emulate the fix for the bug regarding \if@firstcolumn. If a document specifies as twocolumn, we automatically load mparhack -- some internal cleanup and added some recommended alternatives Changed (2020/10/04) o memoir v3.7n -- The new implementations for the \AtEndPackage and friends only require single #s not # doubling as in the old implementation. That is not backwards compatible. # doubling now forced in the new implementation as well. Changed (2020/09/10) o memoir v3.7m In preparation for the LaTeX format/kernel update (2020/10/01) several class file hook features will change to use these new kernel features, see the manuals for lthooks, ltfilehook, ltshipout for details on these new hooks. Thus from the 2020/10/01 LaTeX forward onwards we have the changes below. Until 2020/10/01 the new format can be tested via e.g. pdflatex-dev As of writing, you can test the new format via e.g. pdflatex-dev if you have an up to date LaTeX installation. Details about the changes: -- trimmarks are now added via the shipout/background hook, the added hook is labeled "memoir/trimmarks" See the ltshipout manual for more details. -- \AtBeginFile{filename}{code} and \AtEndFile{filename}{code} are now implemented via the file/before/filename and file/after/filename hooks. **Breaking change:** In the old implementation of \AtBegin/EndFile{file}: if file is a `.tex` file, then one could use \AtEndFile{test}{code} to add code at the end of inputting `test.tex`. Now you will have to use \AtEndFile{test.tex}{code}. See the manual for ltfilehook for more details. -- \AtBeginPackage{name}{code}, \AtEndPackage{name}{code} and \RequireAtEndPackage{name}{code} are now implemented via the package/before/name and package/after/name hooks. -- \AtBeginClass{name}{code}, \AtEndClass{name}{code} and \RequireAtEndClass{name}{code} are implemented via class/before/name and class/after/name -- the redefinition of \trimmarks inside the definition of \quarkmarks have been removed -- Whenever the caption package is loaded, memoir will reset it self so the caption package can take over. We issue some information to the user at this point. In this update we have changed this information from a class warning to a class info as the warning confused a ot of users. Changed (2020/06/02) o memoir v3.7l -- Minute change in preparation for october kernel update (several amsmath spacing functions will be moved to the kernel, we made versions of these also usable in the text, so will the kernel). Changed (2020/03/25) o memoir v3.7k -- Changed how glossaries are written to the glo file. Should now support UTF8 just fine. This fixes https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/529127/3929 -- typo in manual: for \subbottom the \label goes into the subtitle part, aka \subbottom[...\label{...}]{...}. Text in example fixed -- added a check for showkeys final-mode, and do nothing in that case. This fixes https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/526922/3929 -- brought the class into sync with booktabs dated 2020/01/12 -- the provided .ins files will now just overwrite instead of asking for permission. -- various typos Changed (2019/11/21) o memoir v3.7j -- Typo when textcase.sty is not found. The embedded fallback (textcase v0.07, 2004) nedded # doubling, now fixed. Changed (2019/11/15) o memoir v3.7i -- indexes now uses protection when being moved from the aux to the idx file(s) -- changed loading ifpdf, ifetex, ifxetex and ifluatex to just loading the new iftex package. Suggested by The LaTeX Support Team. -- new feature for \createmark: the variable now accepts: nonumber, shownumber and notitle (implies shownumber). The latter enables chapter headers to be just of the form "Chapter " -- By request, added a7paper and b7paper options (plus \stockavii, \stockbvii, \pageavii and \pagebvii) -- changed the header construction for tableofcontents and friends. The anchor that hyperref will use for TOC, LOF etc entries in the TOC will now point above the header not below it. -- changed a few things in \subbottom, which hopefully fixes an issue with hypcap, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/440399/3929 (and https://github.com/ho-tex/oberdiek/issues/42) -- the handling of \absindent, \absparsep is now correctly described in the manual (any changes of these of use of them has to be delayed to the start of the document via \AtBeginDocument) -- Updated the patched \InputIfFileExists to match the one used in the 2019/10/01 format (if using that format, we use the old version) -- Updated the embedded copy of the booktabs package, bringing it in ling with booktabs v1.6180339. -- Changed the warning emitted at the start of loading the caption package. Apparently users got spooked by it. The caption package works just fine with with memoir, the warning is just there to remind users that once the caption package is loaded, all caption related configurations should go through the caption package interface, not through the class interface. -- Fixed a bug in \lofmark and \lotmark when using the oneside option. The default headings style uses \markright for all marks under oneside, but due to an ordering mistake, \lofmark and \lotmark would still be using \markboth unless you explicitly issued \pagestyle{headings} in the preamble. This is now fixed. -- fixed bug in \newfootnoteseries, the included footnote type did not support more than one paragraph. Is now long. -- fixed bug in \pagenote[...]{...}. Under hyperref \pagenote{.}\pagenote[.]{.}{\pagenote{.} did not add a separator as expected. It does now. o memhfixc v1.18 -- added a \par to \contcaption to get rid of a sporadic space coming from \refstepcounter under hyperref -- additionally added a patch when hypcap is loaded, now using \contcaption is no longer an error (hypcap looks to see if \caption has been used) Changed (2018/12/12) o memoir v3.7h -- The following packages are no longer embedded into the class sources: array, delarray, dcolumn and tabularx. These are all part of the _tools_ section of every LaTeX installation, thus there is no reason to embed it anymore (let alone keep track of when they are updated). Instead we require them from the LaTeX installation. Note that the class still makes its own defaults for some of the default settings for these packages. Historical note: When the class was first created updating LaTeX was not an easy task, often done by hand. Also there was no manual requirements, or if there were a manual it might not be easy to find. So it made sense to have it all in one place and their manuals added to the class manual. This usage information in the manual will stay, but might no longer be 100% up to date, so users are always referred to the package manuals. We may remove more embedded packages in the future and replace them with just require the distribution provided ones. -- remembered to note \pagerefname when dealing with page notes. -- fixed bug in inline toc entries in the manual when there are subitem that are not typeset and hyperref is in use (\endlinechar=-1 around the toc), also noted in the manual that this problem may occur and how to deal with it. One might argue that \endlinechar=-1 should be the default thenever the ToC are being typeset. -- Added \SingleSpacing* which does *not* add a \vskip at the end. Also adjusted \SingleSpacing such that it does not emit a \vskip when used in the preamble. This fixes Changed (2018/04/04) o memoir v3.7g -- is now using colorlinks hyperref option in the manual. We switched it off year ago because some users were printing the manual. Nowadays most is reading the manual online, and thus colorlinks brings a better reading experience. -- under hyperref \index{... |)} now also adds `|)hyperpage` to the idx file. This is needed for xindy to process the idx file. Makeindex does not seem to mind. Reported via private email. -- added examples of the nine much overlooked \setpageXX macros, these can be used instead of \settrimmedsize and \settrims to place a trimmed page on the stock in nine often used configurations. -- the way the class writes the pagesize to the output have been rewritten and should now work with lualatex. Therefore we no longer auto load the luatex85 package. We have also canceled \fixpdflayout and \fixdvipslayout (they now just emit a warning) -- the class will truncate certain layout lengths to a whole number of point (e.g. \textwidth). This can now be disabled using the fullptlayout class option, reported via https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/372381/3929 -- in as of the release of TeXLive 2018 \counterwithin/out will be added to the LaTeX kernel, we changed our version to use \providecommand accordingly -- removed loading the mempatch.sty package, it has been empty for many years -- now requiring ifpdf, ifetex, ifxetex and ifluatex packages to exist. Earlier we attempted to emulate them if missing, this does not make sense any more -- started adding "Recommended alternative" blocks to the manual. These are just mentioning more modern alternatives to what ever is mentioned in the manual. Fx using tcolorbox instead of the buildin framed env. Suggestions are welcome (by email) -- added \titlingpageend{}{} which can be used to set the clearing code at the end of the titlingpage env. -- clearified the interaction between 14pt and extrafontsizes options -- updating the embedded array and tabularx copies fixes https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/411862/3929 (an issue with bidi) -- dumped the emulated date for delarray to 2014/10/28 (the code, after the array update) is the same -- fixed a bad interaction in \subbottom when the showkeys and hyperref is loaded. Reported via https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/374301/3929 -- removed unnecessary \phansomsection from the thebiblipgraphy setup. Reported via https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/396303/3929 -- added \nobreak to \@vslnumleft and @vslnumright (internal to verse), reported via https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/415939/3929 -- added \phansomsection to \startnoteentrystart, otherwise \label in \pagenote does not work correctly. -- fixed a typo in \@listii where \itemsep is not pointing towards \itemsepii, similar to the other \@listK macros. -- fixed problem with \setfloatadjustment, font size changes did not come through Changed (2016/05/16) o memoir v3.7f -- Sidecaption placement in oneside docs did not work as advertised. Now left and inner will place it on the left side, and right and outer will place it on the right. -- fixed sporious spaces in \createmark -- added loading luatex85 under certain conditions -- updated the embedded booktabs code so we are back aligned with latest booktabs version. Changed (2015/07/08) o memoir v3.7e -- per request, memoir no longer auto load the etex package on newer kernels (as the 2015+ kernels auto allocate the extra registers) Changed (2015/04/23) o memoir v3.7d -- \end@dblfloat code reversion now only happens if fixltx2e has a release date older than 2014/01/01. Newer versions of fixltx2e has no problems with memoir -- added \feetatbottom. Use it to force footnotes to be added from the bottom up when in a \raggedbottom context. Has no effect under \flushbottom -- \twocolumnfootnotes, \threecolumnfootnotes, \paragraphfootnotes now use \skip\footins -- added \setfootins, it will set \skip\footins and its minipage counterpart, plus the \...v@r versions used by e.g., \twocolumnfootnotes -- fixed a bug in page styles whereby one could not apply rule prefixes to a copied style. -- Fixed typo in manual about \newleadpage, reported by Werner Grundlingh -- updated our version of \@doclearpage to match fixltx2e v1.1s (which will also be in the next ltx kernel). This will change float placement in a twocolumn doc (for the better) Changed (2015/03/05) o memoir v3.7c -- by request from LTX3, the \textsubscript definitions now only takes place if \textsubscript is not already defined -- fixed interaction between memoir and fixltx2e, we delay our \baselinestretch adjustment, reported by Ulrike Fisher -- provided \@textsuperscript instead of \newcommand, then fixltx2e can be loaded before \documentclass, reported by Ulrike Fischer -- fixed typo in pagestyle message, reported by Werner Grundlingh -- fixed a few sporious spaces -- made changes to the article option (reported by Victor Ivrii): o it no longer sets \chaptername to be empty (no idea why it did in the first place, certainly not a good idea when using babel) o under the article option, the headings page style now correctly removes the term 'Chapter' -- added a caveat about \tightlists vs. \small/\footnotesize -- reimplemented the ell chapter style -- various typos Please note that there are still items on my TODO list that has not yet been addressed. They will when time permits. Changed (2013/05/30) o memoir v3.7b -- bugfix sidecontcaption o memhfixc v1.17 -- bugfix sidecaption and sidecontcaption Changed (2013/05/22) o memoir v3.7 -- Emulated date for array package made to match the actual package -- When ever the caption package is loaded we now reset \abovecaptionskip to 10pt and \belowcaptionskip to 0pt as in the default classes -- Typos in manual -- Fixed bug in \subbottom[]{...}. If an empty argument is given, we will automatically eat the space after the (a)-part -- Fixed bug in \makeheadposition, the last two arguments was ignored, now works as intended -- Removed \thanksfootextra from manual -- Factored the box part out of the various \numberline macros -- The \cftXfont can now end with a macro taking one argument, say \MakeTextUppercase -- Included a carbon copy of the textcase package by David Carlisle, thus the class now provide the \MakeTextUppercase and \MakeTextLowercase macros -- Default casing macro for the header information is now \MakeTextUppercase not \MakeUppercase -- A hook is provided into \part, \book and \chapter which is executed just before writing to the TOC. The hook is especially intended when using the hyperref package and the layout dictates upper or lower casing these titles in the TOC. -- All use of \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase in page styles, chapter styles etc. have been changes into \MakeTextUppercase and \MakeTextLowercase -- Added a sniplet showcasing an approach to auto adjust the numwidths in the toc using calc and etoolbox -- Added titlingpage* which does not reset the page counter after the env -- Added \mempreaddchaptertotochook and \mempostaddchaptertotochook hooks, executed right before and right after \chapter writes to the .toc file. It can be used to create a simple \chaptertoc command, see sniplet appendix. Added similarly named hooks to \part and \book, plus \mempreaddapppagetotochook and \mempostaddapppagetotochook added to \appendixpage -- Clarification about \maxtocdepth (turns out, it is not used in memoir), related to http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/97018/3929 -- Made sure \postchapterprecis include code such that the text after \chapterprecis is indented in the same manner as it would just after \chapter -- Added a hook at the very end of \chapter, could be used to add a \clearpage or similar -- Added a remark about trimmarks vs. synctex. -- Fixed bug in \foottopagenote, now it works with \continuousnotenums -- Section on the \pagenotecommand moved to the chapter about page notes (\footnote, \sidefootnote, \sidepar etc.) -- documented \cftKformatpnumhook, which could be used to auto adjust pnumwidth -- Added a hook enabling color change in the showlocs page style -- Workaround for colors leaking into paragraph footnotes (a proper solution would involve fixing the color stack problem as in bigfoot) -- Subfloat counter reset factored out into macros, requested by Axel Sommerfelt -- split \@makecaption into two, and inner (\@@makecaption) which handles the formatting, and an outer (\@makecaption) handling the space before and after -- longtable caption support, added only if the ltcaption package is not loaded (either directly or indirectly). -- Added an autoadjustment feature for \marginparwidth (suggested by Steffen V. Petersen), thus unless the user has used \setmarginnotes a suitable choice for \marginparwidth is made. More of these auto adjusting macros may be added later. -- rewritten how page notes are written to the .ent file -- added hyperref support to page notes o memhfixc v1.16 -- restore footnote comma separation, when hyperfootnotes option is active (default in current hyperref) -- make sure \@starttoc behave like ours, when running under hyperref Changed (2011/03/06) o memoir v3.6j -- fixed typo in trimmarks -- changed \chapter (and chapter like titles), \section's, \part and \book such that a non-zero \parskip no longer interfer with the title layout. -- yet another fix for the reimplemented page notes. Now 'x x' only results in one line break not several. Changed (2011/02/18) o memoir v3.6i -- fixes two problems, one in \addtonotes and implemented the float inner adjustment in a different manner such that \setfloatlocation works again Changes (2011/02/13) o memoir v3.6h -- provided marginfigure and margintable environments modelled after tufte latex (work in progress) including special justification macro to force content flush against the textblock -- copied the contents of the placeins package, though under a different name (\FloatBlock) -- added \setfloatadjustment to allow users to globally add stuff to the start of floats, e.g. make typeset floating tables using \small -- added the possibility to change the color of the head/foot rule in the pagestyle -- reimplemented the page note construction. Note that the new implementation does not rely on the same macros as the old implementation -- Manual: checked and verified the links in the bibliography and made all the CTAN links active in the PDF version of the manual. -- \namesubappendices and \anonsubappendices never existed, their real names are \namedsubappendices and \unnamedsubappendices, fixed in the manual. -- fixed bug in \pfbreak -- added hook/wrapper such that packages like bidi can control the typesetting direction of the headers/footers -- added footer and header measuring, inspired by similar feature in fancyhdr. Though we do not change, say, the \headheight we leave this to the user and simply warn about it. -- made sure that \footnote, \sidefootnote, \sidepar and \sidebar use the same baseline stretch setting (note that for now \marginpar is not covered) -- fixed a font problem inside \quarkmarks -- subsequent pagenotes are now separated in the same manner af footnotes o mem12.clo -- changed \headheight to 14.5pt, to match the pattern used by the other clo files. o memhfixc.sty -- now take care of using \printpagenoteshyperref to print back references for page notes using hyperlinks. Changes (2010/09/19) o memoir v3.6g -- fixed a typo in the vplaces env -- made \needspace work better with \section and friends -- added \settypeoutlayoutunit such that users can choose in which unit the layout list should be written to the log file. -- removed the \footnoteA--C commands from the manual, they have never existed -- Added \OnehalfSpacing* and \DoubleSpacing* which will additionally also make floats and page notes have the same spacing. Macros to explicitly set these values have also been added -- made it more clear who the maintainer is Changes (2010/08/22) o memoir v3.6f -- fixed a typo in memoirs float handling which caused floats to become lost, this brings float handling back in line Changes (2010/08/20) o memoir v3.6e -- changed \parnopar to make its changes inside a group -- some clarifications in the manual o Memhfixc v1.15 - fixed typo introduced in v1.14 (special thanks to Ian D. Leroux and meho_r on ctt for reporting this) Earlier changes are noted at the end. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Peter Wilson (Herries Press) herries dot press at earthlink dot net Copyright 2001--2010 Peter R.

To read the commented source code o run: (pdf)latex memoir.dtx For an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist memoir o run: (pdf)latex memoir.dtx o Print the result for a hardcopy of the documented code (which consists of nearly 500 pages) To process memman.tex (if you really want to do this and not just use memman.pdf as supplied) o Make sure you can use the memoir class and the alltt, fixltx2e, layouts, graphicx, comment, and url (and perhaps some more) packages. o Make sure you have memman.ist, and memman.gst, they are a part of the memoir documentation files o Run: pdflatex trims-example.tex o Run (pdf)latex twice on memman.tex o For an index run: makeindex -s memman.ist memman o For an index of first lines run: makeindex lines o For a glossary run: makeindex -s memman.gst -o memman.gls memman.glo o Run (pdf)latex twice more on memman.tex o Print the manual (it is preferable to use pdflatex as the graphics from trims-example.tex will otherwise be ignored) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes (2010/07/01) o Memoir v3.6d -- added \precistocformat, default \noindent, thus the toc precis text is no longer indented by default. -- Fixed some typos in the manual and in the class -- reorganized the manner by which we handle the memoir user manual. This enables us to add revision numbers and dates to the start of each chapter of the manual. Please note that these revision numbers do not appear if one attempts to compile memman.tex as it relies on a modified (and thus private) version of svn-multi and also relies on splitting memman.tex into separate files. -- If the 'article' class option is in effect we now use the plain page style by default instead of headings. o Memhfixc v1.14 -- Brought memoir sections back in line with hyperref. Now a hyperlink to a section should end up above the section title, instead of below. Changes (2010/04/19) o Memoir v3.6 -- reversioned memoir to version 3.6. The version number was tending towards the golden ratio, but apparently this numeric value is not widely known. -- fixed \marginparmargin{left} in twoside mode -- fixed a race condition in memhfixc Changes (2010/02/20) o Memoir v1.618033988c -- fixed sporadic space in regular \footnote command Changes (2010/02/17) o Memoir v1.618033988b -- fixed typo that broke \feetbelowfloat Changes (2010/02/16) o Memoir v1.618033988 -- changed internal toc handling, as not to open extra files if the TOC is being used several times. -- fixed bug in the emulation of ifpdf, ifxetex and ifluatex that might cause memoir to crash in certain cases -- added \clearmark and \clearplainmark to 'clear' mark commands when defining specialised page styles -- made \subcaptionref robust -- added \letcountercounter and \unletcounter to let one counter act as if it had another name -- add possibility to have \footnote write in the margin by internally use \marginpar -- added a separate bottom aligned side footnote feature -- added consistent interface for \marginpar, \sidepar, \sidebar, and \sidefootnote for specifying into which margin the note should go -- added feature that makes it easier for the side writing macros to determine whether they are on the left or right of the text. The defaults for \sidepar and \sidebar have been changed such that their text now comes out flush up against the text. -- added appendix about the picture environment. Apparently there is no extensive freely available information about this environment. There is now. The chapter stems from an abandoned book project. -- extended the pagestyle changing macros such that they now warn if the page style does not exist or if the page style is an alias (trying to change an alias might lead to odd results) -- added tocvsec2 to list of emulated packages (left out by mistake) -- some undocumented hooks have been added to the toc building macros, more about these later. Changes (2009/11/17) o Memoir v1.61803398c -- fixed typo that broke \flushbottom. Please note that this fix WILL change existing documents, potentially changing page breaks. -- fixed a problem that might cause the addition of trimmarks to shift the output box a bit downward. Thanks to Heiko Oberdiek for the analysis and fix -- fixed a typo in an example in the manual -- changed \tmarkml, \tmarkmr, \tmarktm and \tmarkbm to place markers for the middle parts of the text. Earlier they did nothing and had to be defined by the user. Now the user can simply define them to do nothing if needed. -- added visual example to the manual showing the four trim mark types -- changed the madsen chapter style such that it now has a better unnumbered look Changes (2009/09/21) o Memoir v1.61803398b -- fixed typo that broke \thanks Changes (2009/09/10) o Memoir v1.61803398 -- fixed bug with the upquote package -- added support for the bidi package -- added a simple page style -- added feature to \newlistof such that \KeepFromToc will locally change say \tableofcontents into \tableofcontents* -- Fixed bug, such that XeLaTeX will get the correct pages sizes Changes (2009/08/23) o Eighth edition of the User Manual covering memoir v1.61803398. The design Part is now in a separate document, memdesign, which should be available from CTAN in /info. Changes (2009/07/24) o Memoir v1.6180339h fixes minor typos in memoir.dtx and mempatch.dtx Changes (2009/07/21) o Memoir v1.6180339g fixes minor bugs in memoir and mempatch Changes (2009/07/12) o Memoir v1.6180339f fixes minor bugs and adds new commands -- \begin{labelled}{name} A description list where \name is the labelling macro -- \twocoltocetc - the ToC and friends will be set in two columns -- \onecoltocetc - the ToC and friends will be set in one column (the default) -- \doccoltocetc - the ToC and friends will be set according the class column option -- \frontmatter, \mainmatter and \backmatter have had their float counter change factored out such that users may now change these o Memoir now automatically loads the etex package o The manual includes a chapter giving some historical backround related to typesetting and further information about fonts. There is a new chapter describing an example implementation of a memoir-based package for a US University thesis. Changes (2009/02/06) o Memoir v1.6180339d,e fixes a bug introduced by v1.6180339c -- \makeheadwidth, \makerunningheadwidth and \makerunningfootwidth no longer support the '+' syntax from the calc package. -- under hyperref \nameref is now an alias for \titleref Changes (2009/01/26) o Memoir v1.6180339c released with minor bug fixes that could not be done via the patch file, plus some new functionality. The manual has NOT been updated and the changes are noted below. -- New paper size options: `a0paper', `a1paper', `a2paper', `b0paper', `b1paper', and `b2paper' for A0, A1, A2, B0,B1, and B2 size stock paper. -- Macro \memoirpostopthook{} which is called after the options are processed but before anything else is done (like setting the page layout). As an example, you may define it as (before the \documentclass} command): \newcommand*{\memoirpostopthook}{% \setlength{\stockwidth}{}\setlength{\stockheight}{}} \documentclass[...]{memoir} to specify a stock paper size of by that is not provided by the defined options. -- New `portrait' option (default, the opposite of `landscape'). -- New command \setbinding{} for a binding offset of . -- New commands: \setpagetm, \setpagetr, \setpagemr, \setpagebr, \setpagebm, \setpagecc to position a (smaller) page on a (larger) stock at the top-middle, top-right, middle-right, bottom-right, bottom-middle, and centered with respect to the stock. The macros are to be used instead of \settrimmedsize taking the same arguments. -- New optional parameter in \makeheadwidth{
