============================================================================== TEXNIKA November 2006 ============================================================================== The Technica suite Typesetting for the Humanities Version 0.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Requirements 2. Installing Technica 3. Typesetting the examples 4. Documentation 5. License ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Technica requires the LaTeXe release dated 2003/12/01 or the release dated 2005/12/01 and will not work with any earlier or later release. If and when a new LaTeXe release is published, the Technica software will be changed to allow use of the new release, provided the latter consists, as it has been the case with all previous versions of LaTeX, of a set of macros for TeX. Should the new release require, as has been hinted, a program other that TeX, the Technica software will not be changed. The reason for this restriction is simple: Technica has been written for TeX and it will never depend, directly or indirectly, on any set of macros that cannot be processed by TeX. Please note that the licence under which the Technica software is distributed prohibits any modification of the files. The following packages are required by Technica: calc Kresten Krab Thorup, Frank Jensen and the LaTeX3 Project ifmtarg Peter Wilson and Donald Arseneau ifthen Leslie Lamport, the LaTeX3 project, David Carlisle keyval David Carlisle soul Melchior Franz All the packages are available on CTAN. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.
