I think the majority of printers/publishers now want electronic files for direct-to-plate printing. This cuts out the messy process of camera work and intermediate lay-up. All you should need is page crop size, margins, point size, fonts, etc.
Some may be fussy about details for toc and index. YMMV. Clarke (Ted Harding) wrote:
Another possibility is to use groff to produce ".dvi" output. If a publisher can cope with TeX, they can deal with ".dvi" somehow. Again, this tends to come back to doing the entire final formatting oneself, conforming to the publisher's style and layout requirements. Just some thoughts. I'm afraid I don't have any neat solution for Robert's problem, and the above is based on my past experience, some of it from a long time ago. Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <ted.hard...@manchester.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 03-Mar-09 Time: 18:52:07 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------
