- ERROR REPORTS
-
- Before you report an error please check that:
-
- * Your LaTeX system is not more than one year old. New LaTeX
- releases occur at 6 monthly intervals, thus your problem may
- have already been fixed.
-
- * The error is not already mentioned in the documentation of the
- distribution, e.g. in a .bug file. (In this case it is a feature :-)
-
- * The error has not already been reported (if you have internet
- access, you can search the LaTeX bugs database using
- http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html)
-
- * The error is not caused by software other than the core LaTeX
- software that is produced and maintained by the LaTeX3 project
- team (please report problems with other software to the authors
- or suppliers of that software).
-
- * The error is not caused by using an obsolete version of any file or
- of other software.
-
- * You are using the original version of all files, not one that has
- been modified elsewhere.
-
- If you think you have found a genuine bug in recent version of the
- core LaTeX software please report it in the following way:
-
- * Generate a bug report template by running the file
- latexbug.tex through LaTeX2e.
-
- * Fill in the spaces in the generated template file.
-
- * Include all necessary information, especially a complete input
- file, a complete transcript file, and all other files used (if they
- are not standard).
-
- Please check carefully to ensure that any non-standard files are
- essential to the bug; and remember that we cannot debug files not
- supplied by us.
-
- Any such non-standard files should be included in a `filecontents'
- environment at the start of your input file.
-
- * Please note that it is important to make the input file as small
- as possible since this will enable us to find and fix the error
- quickly. It also helps us because then we can often use it as test
- file for future releases.
-
- We would expect most files to be less than 60 lines, and very
- rarely to be longer than 100 lines.
-
- This can often be achieved by defining a command to be some
- arbitrary text and using this several times if it is necessary to
- generate longer bits of text.
-
- Error reports concerning UNCHANGED versions of CORE LaTeX files
- which are less than one year old should be sent by E-mail to:
-
- latex-bugs@uni-mainz.de
