1 Installation instructions and recent changes
1.1 Installation
If you did not download this file from the internet chances are that mathastext is
already in your TEX installation and that you are reading this documentation after
having done something like texdoc mathastext. Still, read the following which
explains how to produce some test files illustrating package features.
Download from the internet (from CTAN or from the package home page)
mathastext.dtx (or copy the file already installed on your system, assuming it
is up-to-date), put it in a temporary repertory and do latex (or pdflatex) on it.
The compilation will not succeed if your installation is missing package etoc but
even then it will have generated the package file mathastext.sty. You may then
(if installing manually the package) move this up-to-date mathastext.sty to the
appropriate location within your TEX installation (i.e to a repertory with name
mathastext inside a repertory latex inside a repertory tex inside ...).
This latex run generated also a number of test files. They are provided to illustrate some features of the package. You can then run latex, pdflatex, lualatex
or xelatex on them. Some test files are to be used only with XETEX and LuaTEX,
as they use Unicode fonts.
1.2 Recent changes
The current version is 1.2e. Additions were made: in this user manual to the section 2.10 describing the compatibility issues, and to the test files illustrating various
package features. Important changes to the source code were done to fix compatibility problems with active characters dating back to the 1.2 version. Also, an
oversight in the implementation of the italic correction features from 1.2b was
corrected.
Version 1.2d introduced the asterisk option (strangely the command \MTlowerast was not the one described in the manual; this has been corrected) and solved
a problem of compatibility with amsmath.
The main new features in versions 1.2 and 1.2b were the extended scope of the
math alphabets and, respectively, added italic corrections in math mode. Both use
mathematically active characters and some (thorny) technical problems related to
globally active characters were finally solved to (almost) complete satisfaction (let’s
hope) only in the current 1.2e version. These issues are commented upon in the
compatibility section, in the test file testmathastextalphabets.tex and in the
commented source code.
Earlier, version 1.15 introduced the concept of the subdued math versions.
