New version (3.4) of UK TeX FAQ on CTAN and the Web
by Robin Fairbairns 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

I have installed a new version of the FAQ. As usual, a small set of new questions/answers has been added, and a number of typos and plain-and-simple bugs have been corrected. In addition, I have addressed a significant problem with the presentation of URLs for directories, on the Web. In the last few months I have learned that some browsers always provide the answer non-existent if you ask a CTAN node for a .tar.gz or a .zip file of a directory. (Tracing reveals packets where the client is asking whether the file exists before attempting to download it; of course the file _doesn't_ exist, and our FTP daemons aren't smart enough to spot this case. None of which explains _why_ these browsers behave like this.) Now, whenever the FAQ used to present a .tar.gz URL for a directory, it also presents a .zip URL, and a URL for browsing (the latter two in parentheses). If all else fails, frustrated users may download a directory one file at a time. I have also made a small improvement to the way searches are conducted. I've been thinking about how to do this job better, but at least now one of the worst excesses of the stupidity of the old version have gone: the search regards space-separated words as distinct. A further advance has come for users of the PDF versions; thanks to the good offices of Heiko Oberdiek, those files now have thumbnails by each question title. In the thumbnail's data, one finds the URL for this question (in my favoured label format), and the question title. As always, I shall be pathetically grateful for help with new answers, or corrections to old answers, in the FAQ -- feel free to mail to faq(a)tex.ac.uk An HTML-only (i.e., no searching) version of the FAQ is available for use by TeX distribution builders; for those who already use it, the new version is in the usual place -- those who don't already use it may contact me for details.
