Local TeX macro packages

2022-10-14T00:24:19Z

Brandon: /* Installing Local Macro Packages on Your Machine at Home */

=Installing Local Macro Packages on Your Machine at Home=
Our TeX system includes a number of non-standard additions to TeX Live.
Some of the more useful of these files have been bundled for easy
installation on home machines. To install these files on your home machine,
carry out the following steps:

# Download the file https://math.berkeley.edu/~beltiste/local.tgz.
# Open a terminal on your local system.
# On Unix or Linux
## for a user-based installation change to your home directory '''~''', with '''cd ~''',
## for a system-wide installtion change to the directory '''/usr/local/share''', with '''cd /usr/local/share'''.
# On MacOS change to the directory '''~/Library''', with '''cd ~/Library'''.
# Extract the downloaded file in that directory with command '''tar -xvf ~/Downloads/local.tgz''', assuming the file was downloaded to your '''~/Downloads''' directory.
# Run a command '''mktexlsr''' or some equivalent command to get the TeX system to recognize it.

This package includes local package '''ucbthesis''' and '''ucbletter''' document classes.

=Installing Local Macro Packages on Your Machine at Home=
Our TeX system includes a number of non-standard additions to TeX Live.
Some of the more useful of these files have been bundled for easy
installation on home machines. To install these files on your home machine,
carry out the following steps:

# Download the file https://math.berkeley.edu/~beltiste/local.tgz.
# On Unix or Linux
## for a user-based installation change to your home directory '''~''',
## for a system-wide installtion change to the directory '''/usr/local/share'''.
# On MacOS change to the directory '''~/Library'''.
# Extract the downloaded file in that directory with command '''tar -xvf ~/Downloads/local.tgz'''.
# Run a command '''mktexlsr''' or some equivalent command to get the TeX system to recognize it.

This package includes local package '''ucbthesis''' and '''ucbletter''' document classes.

Welcome to the [/ UC Berkeley Department of Mathematics] computing support wiki. We hope to provide useful information to all members of our department. In order to do that, we want to enlist your help. Most pages can be edited by anyone who's logged in. Anyone with an email address ''@math.berkeley.edu'' or ''@berkeley.edu'' may request a wiki account via [mailto:consult@math.berkeley.edu?Subject=Math%20wiki%20account%20request&body=Please%20create%20a%20wiki%20account%20for%20me. consult@math.berkeley.edu]. Feel free to add any computing related help and information.

==Getting Help==
* The primary support email address for computer, printer and network problems within the department is [mailto:request@math.berkeley.edu request@math.berkeley.edu].
* Web related questions should be addressed to [mailto:webmaster@math.berkeley.edu webmaster@math.berkeley.edu].
* For hardware printer problems '''only''', (including low toner), use [mailto:trouble@math.berkeley.edu trouble@math.berkeley.edu].
* [https://technology.berkeley.edu/contact-us The Campus Shared Services (CSS) IT] covers wireless network issues, campus wide outages, support of recently purchased office computers, etc. However, CSS are not familiar with the departmental web, Unix, printing and wired network services.
* There is also a consult mailing list [mailto:consult@math.berkeley.edu?Subject=subscribe consult@math.berkeley.edu] for general questions, which is read (and answered) by volunteer faculty knowledgeable about Unix and mathematical software.
Please do not copy more than one of above mentioned addresses on your email. If you happen to send to the wrong address, it will be redirected by someone to the correct one.

Ucbletter

2019-08-27T21:51:32Z

Brandon:

=Writing Letters in TeX: The '''ucbletter''' Document Class=
The '''ucbletter''' class is a subclass of the standard LaTeX
'''letter''' class that incorporates the University of California letterhead.

==The Letter Environment==
The '''letter''' environment is used to create a standard business letter.

The following declarations, shown with examples, give information
about the sender. See the sample files for placement.
{|border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
| '''\name{Dr. L. User}'''
| To be used for the return address on the envelope.
|-
| '''\signature{Larry User}'''
| Goes after the closing.
|-
| '''\address{3245 Foo St.\\Gnu York}'''
| Used as the return address in the letter and on the envelope. If not declared, then an institutional standard address is used. If declared, then is suppressed unless '''\letterheadanyway''' is used.
|-
| '''\letterheadanyway'''
| Causes the letterhead to appear even if the '''\address''' macro is used.
|-
| '''\location{Room 374}'''
| Acts as modifier to the standard institutional address.
|-
| '''\telephone{(510) 123-4567}'''
| Put into the letterhead.
|-
| '''\email{dave@hal.jupiter.mil}'''
| Put into the letterhead.
|-
| '''\sigspace=36pt'''
| Amount of space to allow for the signature. The default value is 36 points, which is equivalent to four typewriter line spaces. This is the standard for business letters. I've seen more space used, but not less, and recommend against decreasing it, but requests to change it seem to refer to decreasing it. I should put in a nasty warning if people put in too little space.
|}
In all of the above, the '''\sfcode''' for "." is set to 1000,
so one never needs to say "Mr.\ User".

The following modify the letterhead; default values are declared at the end
of the file:
\department{DEPARTMENT OF REDUNDANCY DEPARTMENT}
\upperaddress{1234 CHANNING WAY}
\mailcode{9876}
N.B.: '''\department''' erases whatever '''\mailcode''' is in effect,
so the '''\mailcode''' must come ''after'' the '''\department'''.

In this installation, the letterhead appears as:
--------------------------------- <logo, etc.> ----------------
\department \upperaddress
\location BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA 94720-\mailcode
\email * \telephone
\email *
\address
date
&ast; By default, the '''\email''' appears on the right; this can be
overridden by specifying '''\emailatleft''' or '''\emailatright'''.

The macro '''\adjustmargins''' can be used to make the margins wider--for
example, '''\adjustmargins{.5in}'''. This affects top and bottom margins
as well, but not the placement of the letterhead. This should be done
before the macro '''\begin{document}'''.

Another option is to set '''\textwidth''' and '''\textheight''' directly.
Again, this should be done before '''\begin{document}'''; you should also
adjust '''\oddsidemargin''', '''\evensidemargin''', and
'''\indentedwidth''' if you change '''\textwidth''', and
'''\topmargin''', '''\headsep''', and '''\footskip''' if you change
'''\textheight'''. An alternative is to use the '''center''' option on the
'''\documentclass''' line; it will then center the letter automatically.

The signature will appear on the right, aligned with the address, if one is
given; otherwise it will appear on the left. This can be overridden with
'''\closingatright''' or '''\closingatleft'''.

The '''\makelabels''' declaration causes mailing labels to be made. It
must go before the '''\begin{document}''' command.

The '''letter''' environment creates a new letter, starting from page 1.
(The first page is unnumbered.) It has a single argument, giving
the addressee and his/her address, as in:
\begin{letter}{Sam Jones\\Institute for Study\\Princeton, N.J.}
Local declarations, such as '''\address''', can follow the '''\begin{letter}'''.
For informal letters, the address of the recipient can be left out:
\begin{letter}{}

Text is begun with the '''\opening''' command, whose argument generates the
salutation, as in
\opening{Dear Henry,}
The body of the letter follows, ended by a '''\closing''' command, as in
\closing{Yours truly,}
The "signature" is provided automatically.

After the '''\closing''' you can put arbitrary stuff, which is typeset
with '''\parindent=0''' and no page breaking. Commands designed
for use after the closing are:
* '''\cc{Tinker\\Evers\\Chance}''' -- which produces:
cc: Tinker
Evers
Chance
* '''\encl{Foo(2)\\Bar}''' -- which produces:
encl: Foo(2)
Bar

==The Memo Environment==
The '''ucbletter''' class also implements the UC interdepartmental memo format
as a '''memo''' environment. The use is much the same as for the '''letter'''
environment; we will give here only the differences.

The '''\begin{memo}''' macro has one argument giving the recipient(s); for example,
\begin{memo}{Sam Jones\\Nicolas Bourbaki}

To declare the subject of the memo, the '''\begin''' may be followed
''immediately'' by a '''\subject''' or '''\re''' macro:
\re{Our recent discussion}

The text of the memo follows; the '''\opening''' macro, if present, is
ignored. After the memo, one can invoke the '''\closing''' macro
(whose argument, in this case, is ignored; the macro merely serves the
purpose of preventing further page breaks). The usual '''\cc''' and
'''\encl''' options may follow this; if they are not used, then there is
no point in using the '''\closing''' macro, either. The reason for
keeping the '''\opening''' and '''\closing''' macros is so that a letter
can be converted to a memo merely by changing the name of the environment.
The converse works as well: the '''\subject''' or '''\re''' macros
are ignored in the '''letter''' environment.

However, there is an option allowing the end of the memo to be treated
as a signed letter. To specify this option, just include '''signed'''
as one of the options in the '''\documentstyle''' line. In that case the
'''\closing''' macro functions just as it does for a letter.

The format of the top of the memo is:
BERKELEY: \department
\location
\upperaddress
\telephone
\email

date

Webpage Guide

2019-08-22T21:29:42Z

Brandon: Add note that Cyberduck is available for Windows.

This page provides a tutorial on how to manually create your own web page on the Math department server. You have to learn basics of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML HyperText Markup Language (HTML)] language to do that. It would be nice to know elements of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)], if you care about presentation aspects of your web page.

== Setting up a web page ==

===Hello World page===

Below is a minimal example of well formed ([http://validator.w3.org/ W3C]-compliant) HTML document.
<pre>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Hello, World!</h2>
</body>
</html>
</pre>

===Unix command line method===

This section explains how to create a webpage from a Unix terminal session, assuming you already know a little of Unix commands and HTML. For an introduction to HTML, see [[#Basic HTML|below]].

* First you need to login to <tt>login.math.berkeley.edu</tt> (department Unix shell server) via SSH terminal emulator or start the Terminal application (menu item: Applications/Accessories/Terminal) if you are logged in to Math thin client server <tt>keira.math.berkeley.edu</tt>.
* In your home directory, you need to create a directory called <tt>public_html</tt> with the appropriate permissions. You can do this from a math department computer or over [[File Management#SSH|SSH]] by typing:
<pre>
mkdir public_html
chmod 755 public_html
</pre>
* All files and directories for your webpage should be placed in the <tt>public_html</tt> directory, and the directory and all its contents must have their [[File_Management#Permissions|permissions set]] so that others can read the files and read and execute the directories.
* Additionally, inside <tt>public_html</tt>, you should have a file called <tt>index.html</tt>, which will be your homepage, i.e. the first page that pops up when someone visits your website.
* You can edit this file with any Unix editor. To use emacs, for example, type
<tt>emacs public_html/index.html</tt>
* An alternative to <tt>emacs</tt> is <tt>pico</tt>, which is used for writing emails in alpine. Other popular command line editors are <tt>vi</tt>, <tt>vim</tt>, and <tt>nano</tt>. When you're done, type <tt>chmod 644 public_html/index.html</tt> to give the file the right permissions. Your page should now be visible at <tt><nowiki>/~USERNAME/</nowiki></tt>. You can create other pages by creating other files in the <tt>public_html</tt> directory. For example, the file <tt>public_html/math1b.html</tt> will have the URL <tt><nowiki>/~USERNAME/math1b.html</nowiki></tt>.

For more information on managing files on the math department's file server and what the permissions mean, see the page on [[File Management|file management]].

===GUI method===

This method works from any Math thin client computer connected to <tt>keira.math.berkeley.edu</tt>. The steps are essentially the same but no knowledge of Unix commands is necessary.

* Start GUI file manager (a.k.a. Nautilus): either double-click on home folder icon on your desktop or select Home Folder from Places menu.
* Create <tt>public_html</tt> directory in your home: select Create Folder from right-click menu in the Nautilus window.
* Verify the directory access permissions: right-click on newly created "public_html" directory icon and select Properties, then select Permissions tab in the Properties dialog window. Make sure the owner can "create and delete files" while group and others can only "access files".
* Create an empty HTML document in the <tt>public_html</tt> directory: double-click on the "public_html" icon and select Create Document (Empty File) from right-click menu in the Nautilus window. Call the empty document <tt>index.html</tt>.
* Similarly verify the index files permissions: right-click on newly created index.html icon and select Properties, then select Permissions tab in the Properties dialog window. Make sure the owner can "read and write" while group and others can "read-only".
* Edit the index document: right-click on newly created index.html icon and select Open with "Bluefish Editor" (or chose any other GUI editor you are comfortable with).
* You may copy the above [[#Hello World page | sample page]] and paste to the editor window, save the document and view it in the web browser (URL: <tt><nowiki>/~USERNAME/index.html</nowiki></tt>).
: '''Note:''' All your changes become visible to the world the moment you save the file. It is not recommended to use this error and try approach with the <tt>index.html</tt> file. Use a different file instead, e.g. <tt>test.html</tt>, and rename it to <tt>index.html</tt> when you are satisfied with changes.

===Upload method===

This method works from any (non-department) computer. Again, the essential steps are the same, but you edit your HTML code on a personal laptop or home computer and upload ready-made web pages to the <tt>public_html</tt> subdirectory of your Math department home directory.

# Login to <tt>login.math.berkeley.edu</tt> via SFTP and go to you home directory. Use any GUI or text-based SFTP client software available for your platform.
#: Here are some popular free SFTP clients:
#:* [http://cyberduck.io/ Cyberduck] - GUI client for Mac or Windows.
#:* [http://winscp.net/eng/download.php WinSCP] GUI client for Windows.
#:* Linux [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME GNOME] file browser [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus_%28file_manager%29 Nautilus] comes with a built-in "Connect to Server" feature.
#:* A great Linux text-based SFTP client (aside from relatively limited <tt>sftp</tt>) is called [http://lftp.yar.ru/lftp-man.html <tt>lftp</tt>].
# Create <tt>public_html</tt> directory in your home if it does not exist already.
# Upload HTML documents, CSS style sheets (if any) and other files and folders (as needed) to remote <tt>public_html</tt> directory.
# Make sure that the remote directories and files are not writable by group and others.

===Potential problems===

Some things which might go wrong when you try to view the page in a browser:
* Error 403: This means that you don't have the permissions set correctly or the <tt>index.html</tt> file is missing. To make sure the permissions are correct for your homepage, type on a terminal command line:
<pre>
chmod 755 ~/public_html
chmod 644 ~/public_html/index.html
</pre>
* Error 404: This means that the web server couldn't find your file at all. Make sure you have the files in the <tt>public_html</tt> directory.
* Error 403 while accessing a subdirectory of <tt>public_html</tt>: Again, this means incorrect permissions or missing index.html file.
: '''Note:''' The automatic directory listing is turned off by default for security reasons but can be turned on if needed (you have to learn how).

==Basic HTML==

Each individual web page on your site corresponds to a file of the form <tt>name.html</tt> . An HTML document file consists of plain text with formating (markup) commands that tell the browser how to the display the text. Just like in LaTeX, there are some special meta-characters that tell the browser "I am giving you a command"; they are <, > and /. Every command starts with the code <code><tag></code>, and most commands end with the code <code></tag></code>. For example, if you want to turn on '''bold''' font, type <code></code>. When you are done typing the text that you'd like to be bold, turn off bold font with <code></code>.

A nice thing about HTML is that the browsers are very forgiving. If you make a mistake in the HTML code the browser will try its best to render your page as it is. This makes it easy to see the mistake and fix it. HTML tags are case-insensitive.

; <code><html></code>: In principle, every .html file should begin with <code><html></code> and end with <code></html></code> to let the browser know that you are going to use HTML markup. But if you plan on just writing plain text, then this is not necessary.
; <code><head></code>: This starts the head section of HTML document. It is used for setting up the title, style and other parameters applied to the visible elements of the web page. Don't forget to close the head section with the <code></head></code> tag.
; <code><title></code>: The title element is placed inside of the head section. The text between <code><title></code> and <code></title></code> tags is the title of the web page that appears in the top bar of the browser window.
; <code><body></code>: This marks the limits of the body of the web page: all the text, images, etc that you want to appear on the page should go in between the body start and end tags.
; <code> </code> <code></code>: Note that if you type text in an HTML file, the browser will ignore all newline characters (Enter keystrokes). In general, browsers treat multiple "whitespace" characters as just one space (as if the space bar is pressed once). To tell a browser that you would like a line break, use the <code> </code> tag. If you would furthermore like a blank line to start a new paragraph of text, use <code></code> instead.
; <code></code> <code></code> <code></code> <code><s></code>: '''Bold''', ''italic'', underlined and <del>strike-through</del> text, respectively.
; <code><a href="URL">link text</a></code>: Use the <tt>a</tt> tag for links to other pages on your site or on other sites. This can also be used to link to a PDF file or some other file for download. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL URL] is either the full URL for some website resource (including the initial <tt>http://</tt>), or else just a pathname for a file in your <tt>public_html</tt> directory. When the link is clicked, the browser directs you to the resource specified by the <tt>href</tt> attribute. The "link text" is the text of hyperlink. For example, you may want the text to say "Solutions to Homework 9", but the URL will be something like "solutions9.pdf".
; <code><img src="URL" alt="alternate text"></code>: Tag for inserting an image into your web page. The value of <tt>src</tt> attribute is either a filename path of the image in your <tt>public_html</tt> directory, or a complete URL to an image elsewhere. The required <tt>alt</tt> attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed.
; <code><nowiki><a href="mailto:jdoe@example.com">jdoe@example.com</a></nowiki></code>: Creates a link that when clicked will open up the user's email program to send an email to "jdoe@example.com". It is '''not''' advisable to expose your email address in clear text. Instead, use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript JavaScript] to conceal your email from spammers (see [[#Concealing_Your_Email_From_Spammers | below]]).

==Learning more HTML==

There are many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html HTML] tutorials and reference guides. For example, have a look at [http://www.w3schools.com/html/ w3schools.com].

If you come across a web page and want to know how they did that, you can try looking at the webpage's source. Most browsers have a View Source option in their menu (e.g. Firefox has a convenient keyboard shortcut Ctrl-U for source viewing); this will bring up the HTML page which you can examine.

There are also free templates (a.k.a. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Css cascading style sheets or CSS]) available online. A particularly good site can be found at [http://www.openwebdesign.org/ openwebdesign.org].

==Concealing your email from spammers==

Spammers use automated programs called webcrawlers to browse through webpages searching for email addresses. If your email address is just written in plain text in the HTML file (especially if you use the <code>mailto:</code> command) a webcrawler will pick it up and you will get more spam. There are a few ways to conceal your email address from webcrawlers. We have listed them below, in increasing difficulty of implementation (which also happens to be increasing order of strength).

* Use words instead of punctuation. Many primitive webcrawlers are designed to look for the @ symbol and then copy the text around it. If you write words, like <code>mgsa AT math DOT berkeley DOT edu</code>, many webcrawlers will not realize it is an email address. This is a pretty commonly implemented trick to fool webcrawlers, but it's easy for a spammer to adapt and include searches for "AT <word> DOT" and still find your email. However, if your email address has some natural form, then you can use that in the description and webcrawlers will not be able to get it. For example: <code>my last name AT math DOT berkeley DOT edu</code>.
* Another way to fool webcrawlers who search for @ is to replace @ with an image of the symbol @. Webcrawlers cannot "see" what an image says, so this method completely works. The only downside is that someone trying to copy your email address has to remember to add the @ symbol. A large selection of images can be found doing an Google advanced image search for "at.gif" with the requirement that all images be small size.
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript JavaScript] is used to embed programs in HTML and we can use it in a very simple way to conceal the <code>mailto:</code> command from spammers. This method also allows viewers to simply click on the email address link to invoke their email program. Below is an example of JavaScript code for email link [mailto:jdoe@example.com jdoe@example.com]:
<pre>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
GoFish=new Array();
GoFish[0]="%3c"+"%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c";
GoFish[1]="%74%6f%3a%6"+"a%64%6f%65%40%65%78%61%6d%70%6c%65%2e%63%";
GoFish[2]="6f"+"%6d%22%3e%6a%64%6f%65%";
GoFish[3]="40%6"+"5%78%61%6d%70%6c%65%2e%6";
GoFish[4]="3%6f%6d%3c%"+"2f%61%3e";
OutString="";
for (j=0;j<GoFish.length;j++){
OutString+=GoFish[j];
}document.write(unescape(OutString));
//]]>
</script>
<noscript>Sorry, you need to enable JavaScript to email me.</noscript>
</pre>

You may generate the above code from Unix command line using the following python script:
<pre>
import sys
import random
sys.stdout.write('your email address: ')
a = sys.stdin.readline().strip()
t = '<a href="mailto:%s">%s</a>' % (a, a)
l = ['%%%2x' % ord(c) for c in list(t)]
s = ''.join(l)
n = len(s)
i = random.sample(range(1, n - 1), 9)
i = [0] + sorted(i) + [n]
c = '''
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
GoFish=new Array();
GoFish[0]="%s"+"%s";
GoFish[1]="%s"+"%s";
GoFish[2]="%s"+"%s";
GoFish[3]="%s"+"%s";
GoFish[4]="%s"+"%s";
OutString="";
for (j=0;j<GoFish.length;j++){
OutString+=GoFish[j];
}document.write(unescape(OutString));
//]]>
</script>
<noscript>Sorry, you need to enable JavaScript to email me.</noscript>
'''
print c % tuple(s[i[j]:i[j+1]] for j in range(0, 10))
</pre>
Just copy and paste the script to a text file <code>obfuscate.py</code> and run it in a terminal session as follows:
<pre>
python obfuscate.py
</pre>
