\bigskip\noindent
From version 3.0 onwards, {\TeX} allows the use of eight-bit fonts in the
manuscript. In Euro{\TeX} this is utilized, so that non-English
letters as far as possible are treated as English letters.
This description concerns the Euro{\TeX} extensions founded on plain
{\TeX}, version 3.141, with the use of dc fonts.
\bigskip
\item{$\bullet$}Non-English letters are allowed in the text part of
the manuscript (in equations only by using{\tt\ \backslash hbox}). 
All letters in the font ISO Latin 1 except{\tt\ \"y }may be used.
Letters like{\tt\ ä ö ü ß ŕ â ç č é ę î ď ô ű ů ć ř ĺ }can hence be
typed directly into the{\tt\ tex }file. Paraphrases like{\tt\ 
\backslash "a \backslash "o \backslash "u \backslash ss
\backslash `a \backslash \caret a \backslash c c \backslash `e 
\backslash 'e \backslash \caret e \backslash \caret\backslash i 
\backslash "\backslash i \backslash \caret o 
\backslash \caret u  \backslash `u
\backslash ae \backslash o \backslash aa }are still understood, however.
The letters in the font ISO Latin 1 may also be used in control words.
Characters in ISO Latin 1 which are not letters, will as a rule not be
understood. However, {\TeX} understands the 
characters{\tt\ § ˇ ż Ł « » }in text mode
and the characters{\tt\ $±$ $·$ }in math mode.
\item{$\bullet$}{\TeX} can hyphenate words containing the letters in
the dc font. The treatment is the same, whether the letters are
typed directly or as macros.
\item{$\bullet$}Languages can be selected with the command{\tt\ \backslash 
language\backslash $\langle${\rm language}$\rangle$}, 
where $\langle$language$\rangle$ is one of the 
words {\tt\ english german french italian polish danish norwegian
swedish icelandic finnish}. 
By the selection of language, rules for hyphenation, quotes and sentence
space are set. For each of the ten languages, a list
of syllables is read, with rules for hyphenation of words. Correct quotes in
each language appear by typing{\tt\ \backslash 
qt\{$\langle${\rm text}$\rangle$\}\ }or --- 
for single quotes ---{\tt\ \backslash siqt\{$\langle${\rm 
text}$\rangle$\}}.
The different quotes are treated below.
Sentence spaces are for all languages, except French, set 
to{\tt\ \backslash nonfrenchspacing}; for French it is set 
to{\tt\ \backslash frenchspacing}.
One may switch between languages arbitrary often within a document.
The selected language is valid until a new language is selected.
The default language is English.
\item{$\bullet$}Test on the selected language can be done
with the command{\tt\ \backslash ifnum\backslash
language=\backslash englishhyphenation }and equivalently for the other
languages. Other{\tt\ \backslash if }tests may also be used.
\item{$\bullet$}Quotes are traditionally written differently in the different
languages. The customary notation in the ten languages is:
\hihi{English} \lohi{German} \ltgt{French} \ltgt{Italian} \lohi{Polish} 
\lohi{Danish} \ltgt{Norwegian} \hiqq{Swedish} \lohi{Icelandic} \hiqq{Finnish}. 
By typing{\tt\ \backslash qt\{$\langle${\rm 
text}$\rangle$\}}, one gets the mentioned quotes in the ten
languages. Single quotes appear by 
typing{\tt\ \backslash siqt\{$\langle${\rm 
text}$\rangle$\}}. Hence, with this control word one gets:
\sihihi{English} \silohi{German} \siltgt{French} \siltgt{Italian} 
\silohi{Polish} \silohi{Danish} \siltgt{Norwegian} \sihiqq{Swedish}
\silohi{Icelandic} \sihiqq{Finnish}. Independently of the selected
language, {\tt `` }and{\tt\ '' }are still ligatures for `` and ''.
Further, {\tt &lt;&lt; }and{\tt\ &gt;&gt; }are ligatures for &lt;&lt; and &gt;&gt;.
They may also be produced by typing them directly, i.e., {\tt « }and{\tt\ »}.
Of course, also the single characters ` and ' can be typed directly 
with{\tt\ ` }and{\tt\ '}.
The other quotes may also be selected independently of the selected
language. The quotes can be produced as shown in the table below.
The table also shows in which languages a quote traditionally is used.
\halign{\qquad\qquad\tt #\hfil&amp;\qquad yields\quad #\hfil&amp;\qquad #\hfil\cr
\backslash lohi\{low-high\}&amp;\lohi{low-high}&amp;German Polish Danish Icelandic\cr
\backslash hihi\{high-high\}&amp;\hihi{high-high}&amp;English Spanish Italian\cr
\backslash hiqq\{high-equal\}&amp;\hiqq{high-equal}&amp;Swedish Finnish Norwegian\cr
\backslash ltgt\{outwards\}&amp;\ltgt{outwards}&amp;French Italian Spanish Norwegian\cr
\backslash gtlt\{inwards\}&amp;\gtlt{inwards}&amp;German Danish\cr
\backslash gtgt\{right\}&amp;\gtgt{right}&amp;Swedish Finnish\cr}
\item{}Single quotes appear by putting{\tt\ si }in front, i.e., with
the macros{\tt\ \backslash silohi \backslash sihihi \backslash sihiqq
\backslash siltgt \backslash sigtlt \backslash sigtgt}.
For ``Gänsefüßchen'' in front, the macro{\tt\ \backslash hiqq }yields a better
positioning than the ligature{\tt\ ''}:
\halign{\qquad\qquad\tt #\hfil&amp;\qquad yields\quad #\hfil\cr
\backslash hiqq\{Swedish\}&amp;\hiqq{Swedish}\cr
''Swedish''&amp;''Swedish''.\cr}
\item{}Do you see the difference?
\item{$\bullet$}Macros for letters and diacritical marks.
In addition to the letters defined in the {\TeX} book, the following
letters have names of their own:
\halign{\qquad\qquad\tt #\hfil&amp;\qquad yields\quad #\hfil&amp;\ 
#\hfil&amp;\qquad #\hfil\cr
\backslash dh \backslash DH &amp;\dh &amp;\DH &amp;(edh)\cr
\backslash th \backslash TH &amp;\th &amp;\TH &amp;(thorn)\cr
\backslash ng \backslash NG &amp;\ng &amp;\NG &amp;(Lappish eng)\cr
\backslash y \ \backslash Y &amp;\y &amp;\Y &amp;(Dutch ij)\cr
\backslash dj \backslash DJ &amp;\dj &amp;\DJ &amp;(Croatian and Lappish d bar)\cr
\backslash lp \backslash Lp &amp;\hbox{\lp}&amp;\hbox{\Lp}&amp;(Catalan l dot,
as in \qt{para\lp lel}).\cr}
\item{}({\tt\backslash lp } is actually not a letter, but a macro that puts
a dot after the l, if the word is not hyphenated there.)
Diacritical marks (umlaut, accents, etc.) can be produced as
mentioned in the {\TeX} book. Three additional macros are defined:
\halign{\qquad\qquad\tt #\hfil&amp;\qquad yields\quad #\hfil&amp;\qquad #\hfil\cr
\backslash k o &amp;\k o &amp;(ogonek, right-adjusted for \k A, \k E, 
\k a, \k u)\cr
\backslash p L &amp;\p L &amp;(prime, only for Czech and Slovak \p d, \p t,
\p l, \p L and Latvian \p g)\cr
\backslash r u &amp;\r u &amp;(ring).\cr}
\item{}With the above macros, names like Lech Wa\l\k esa, 
Pel\.eda Lazdyn\k u, Pie\v s\p tany, \TH ingvellir, Morgunbla\dh
i{\dh} and B\'a\dj a\v soaivi can be written.
Correct spellings of such names cannot be produced with the
traditional cm fonts.
\item{$\bullet$}The control symbol{\tt\ \backslash| }is used to split
characters. It can be used to split a word from a hyphen (-),
if {\TeX} does not manage to hyphenate the word.
As an example, if {\TeX} does not manage to hyphenate the 
word{\tt\ \$W\$-orthogonal}, one may instead 
type{\tt\ \$W\$-\backslash|orthogonal}.
Correspondingly, if {\TeX} does not manage to hyphenate the word
before the hyphen in an expression 
like{\tt\ Lebesgue-integrable}, one may instead 
type{\tt\ Lebesgue\backslash|-integrable}. With such a use
of{\tt\ \backslash|}, {\TeX} will be able to hyphenate the words in
question. 
Behind an apostrophe ('), {\tt \backslash| }may be used in the same
way. To make {\TeX} hyphenate the word \qt{d'Alembert} one may 
type{\tt\ d'\backslash|Alembert}.
Behind a slash (/), {\tt \backslash| }can be used in the same way,
but the macro{\tt\ \backslash hskip0pt }will there be better, since it
allows a line break just behind the slash.
The control symbol{\tt\ \backslash| }can also
be used to split the characters in a ligature.
Thus,
{\tt fl }yields the ligature \qt{fl}, whereas{\tt\ f\backslash|l
}yields \qt{f\|l}.
Such a splitting of ligatures is almost never important, but for
Cyrillic fonts it may be necessary.
In math mode, {\tt \backslash| }produces the norm character $\|$. 
\item{$\bullet$}For German hyphenation, two macros are defined. 
The macro{\tt\ \backslash SS }is capital ß (eszett). It is printed out
as \qt{SS}, but produces another hyphenation than the input{\tt\ SS}. 
The notation{\tt\ \backslash SS }always gives a correct hyphenation for
words with capital ß. This is shown in the table below:
\halign{\qquad\qquad\tt #\hfil&amp;\qquad yields\quad #\hfil&amp;\qquad #\hfil\cr
GRÖSSE &amp;GRÖS-SE &amp;(wrong)\cr
GRÖ\backslash SS E &amp;GRÖ-SSE &amp;(correct, compare Grö-ße)\cr
MASSTHEORIE &amp;MASSTHEO-RIE &amp;(one hyphen is missing)\cr
MA\backslash SS THEORIE &amp;MASS-THEO-RIE &amp;(complete, as in Maß-theo-rie).\cr}
\item{}The macro{\tt\ \backslash ck }(and the corresponding for
capital letters{\tt\ \backslash CK}) gives correct hyphenation in the
old spelling for the letter group \qt{ck}. The notation{\tt\ Verrü\backslash 
ck ungen }thus yields the hyphenation possibilities \qt{Ver-rückungen}, 
\qt{Verrük-kungen} and \qt{Verrückun-gen}. 
However, the macro must not be used in words where \qt{ck} cannot be
hyphenated, as in the word \qt{rückwärts}. The notation{\tt\ rü\backslash 
ck wärts }would give the hyphenation \qt{rük-kwärts} (wrong), whereas
the notation{\tt\ rückwärts }gives the hyphenation \qt{rück-wärts} (correct). 
\item{$\bullet$}For Scandinavian and German before the spelling
reform, macros  for three equal consonants that are
contracted to two, are defined.
Such consonant groups must be hyphenated, such that $2+1$ equal
consonants appear.
Examples of such words are \qt{Nu\lll ösung} and \qt{Progra\mmm odul} (German)
and \qt{to\ppp unkt} and \qt{ta\lll inje} (Norwegian), 
which on hyphenation on the spot in question are written 
\qt{Null-lösung}, \qt{Programm-modul}, \qt{topp-punkt} and \qt{tall-linje}. 
By typing{\tt\ Nu\backslash lll ösung}, 
{\tt\ Progra\backslash mmm odul},
{\tt\ to\backslash ppp unkt }and{\tt\ ta\backslash lll inje}, one
always gets a correct spelling of these words.
The following macros give correct treatment of such consonant 
groups:{\tt\ \backslash bbb},{\tt\ \backslash 
ddd},{\tt\ \backslash fff},{\tt\ \backslash ggg},{\tt\ \backslash
kkk},{\tt\ \backslash lll},{\tt\ \backslash mmm},{\tt\ \backslash
nnn},{\tt\ \backslash ppp},{\tt\ \backslash rrr},{\tt\ \backslash
sss},{\tt\ \backslash ttt}. (Correspondingly for capital
letters:{\tt\ \backslash BBB},{\tt\ \backslash 
DDD}, etc.)
\item{$\bullet$}The eight-bit fonts contain some characters which have
names of their own. They are shown in the following table:
\halign{\qquad\qquad\tt #\hfil&amp;\qquad yields\quad #\hfil&amp;\qquad #\hfil\cr
\backslash pound &amp;\pound\cr
\backslash promille &amp;\promille\cr
\backslash ? &amp;\? &amp;(inverse question mark)\cr 
\backslash ! &amp;\! &amp;(inverse exclamation mark)\cr
\backslash caret &amp;\caret &amp;(caret (a little different from circumflex \^{}))\cr
\backslash wave &amp;\wave &amp;(repeat mark (a little different from tilde \~{}))\cr
\backslash underscore &amp;\underscore &amp;(underscore (different from the macro{\tt\ 
\backslash \underscore\ }which yields \_))\cr
\backslash visiblespace &amp;\visiblespace &amp;(visible space).\cr}
\item{}The character sequences{\tt\ ?`\ }and{\tt\ !`\ }were earlier 
ligatures for
\? and \!, but they are no longer defined. In math mode, the control
symbol{\tt\ \backslash !\ }is still defined as \qt{negative thin
space}. The notation{\tt\ \backslash it\backslash\$ }gave earlier
{\it\pound}, %actually: $\mathchar"424 $, 
but now gives {\it\$}. The characters{\tt\ &lt; &gt; | }(and{\tt\ "}) in 
text mode were earlier only usable in typewriter fonts, but may now be
used in all text fonts.
The macros{\tt\ \backslash\{},{\tt\ \backslash\}\ }and{\tt\ \backslash
backslash }were earlier only defined in math mode, but are now valid
also in text mode.
\item{$\bullet$}In the macro{\tt\ \backslash hyphenation}, the letters
in ISO Latin 1 as well as macros for the letters in the dc fonts may
be used. Hence, one may 
type{\tt\ \backslash hyphenation\{ĺng-ström\} }or{\tt\ \backslash
hyphenation\{\backslash aa ng-str\backslash "om\}}. 
In both cases \qt{Ĺngström} will be correctly hyphenated. 
However, braces can not be used 
within{\tt\ \backslash hyphenation}. Thus, the notation{\tt\ \backslash 
hyphenation\{\{\backslash aa\}ng-str\backslash "om\} }yields an error
message in {\TeX}.
\item{$\bullet$}In the macros{\tt\ \backslash uppercase }and{\tt\ \backslash
lowercase}, the letters in ISO Latin 1 and macros for diacritical
marks may be used. Macros for letters of their own, like{\tt\ \backslash aa
\backslash oe \backslash l}, however, will not be treated correctly.
Also, the letters which change diacritical marks (like \p
d, \v D and \p t, \v T) will not be  treated correctly.
Thus, the command{\tt\ \backslash uppercase\{\backslash 
"o\backslash oe\backslash ss\backslash l\backslash k a\backslash
"\backslash i\backslash p t\} }produces
\qt{\uppercase{\"o\oe\ss\l\k a\"\i\p t}}.
In remedy of this, two new macros{\tt\ \backslash upcase }and{\tt\
\backslash lowcase }are introduced. 
They give correct treatment for all letters in the dc fonts, whether
they are typed directly or as macros, together with most letters
with diacritical marks. 
Thus, {\tt \backslash upcase\{\backslash 
"o\backslash oe\backslash ss\backslash l\backslash k a\backslash
"\backslash i\backslash p t\} }yields the result
\qt{\upcase{\"o\oe\ss\l\k a\"\i\p t}}.
An exception constitute the Lithuanian vowels with ogonek (\k i, \k u)
and the Latvian consonants with cedilla (\p g, \c k, \c l, \c n). 
{\TeX} gives an error message, if one tries to treat them 
with{\tt\ \backslash upcase }or{\tt\ \backslash lowcase}.
Also, the macros{\tt\ \backslash upcase }and{\tt\ \backslash lowcase
}do not work across paragraphs.
The active characters{\tt\ § ˇ Ł « » }cannot be used with 
{\tt \backslash uppercase}, and hence not 
with{\tt\ \backslash upcase}. {\TeX} gives an error message by such a
use. The corresponding 
macros{\tt\ \backslash S \backslash !\ \backslash pound \backslash qt
}may, however, be used.
\item{$\bullet$}Print to file (with{\tt\ \backslash write}) 
--- e.g.\ in connection with preparation of an index  --- was
earlier problematic in {\TeX} for non-English letters. All letters in 
ISO Latin 1 are now printed as such, whether they are typed
directly or as macros. Other dc letters are printed as macros on
the form{\tt\ \backslash char `\caret\caret xy }. 
As an example, {\tt \backslash "o }is printed as{\tt\
ö},{\tt\ \backslash ss }is printed as{\tt\ ß}, 
{\tt \backslash oe }is printed as{\tt\ \backslash
char `\caret\caret f7 }, whereas{\tt\ \backslash k a }is printed
as{\tt\ \backslash char `\caret\caret a1 }. 
Since the macro{\tt\ \hbox{\backslash char `\caret\caret xy} }gobbles
up succeeding space, this means that space will disappear behind a
word which ends with such a macro. Letters which are not in the 
dc fonts, but which can be created with {\TeX}, will normally be
printed as macros. An exception constitute the Lithuanian vowels
with ogonek (\k i, \k u) and the Latvian consonants with
cedilla (\p g, \c k, \c l, \c n). 
These letters cannot be further treated with 
{\TeX} when they are printed to file. The problems with difficultly
readable or not treatable macros are reduced by using{\tt\ \backslash string}.
As an example, {\tt \backslash string\backslash k\backslash space 
a }produces{\tt\ \backslash k a}.
However, if the words printed to file are to be sorted, in
practice only the letters of ISO Latin 1 are appropriate in such a
print.
\item{$\bullet$}The dc fonts are used everywhere in text mode. In math
mode the cm fonts are used as mentioned in the {\TeX} book.
Below, the font dcr10 (ten-point Roman) is shown. 
The characters have the same position in all dc fonts.
The dc fonts contain the letters of the most important European
languages written with Latin letters. Unfortunately, it was impossible
to find room for the
Catalan letters \lp, \Lp, 
the Lithuanian letters \.e, \.E, \k i, \k I, \k u, \k U, \=u, \=U 
and the Latvian letters \=a, \=A, \=e, \=E, \=\i, \=I, \=u, \=U, 
\p g, \c G, \c k, \c K, \c l, \c L, \c n, \c N. 
From a Nordic point of view, it is also of interest, that the
Lappish letters \tj, \TJ\ are missing.
On the other hand, the letters \"y, \"Y do not enter into any European
language. The Dutch letter groups \y, \Y\ also seem to have a very
limited value of use.

On November 14, 1885, Senator \&amp; Mrs.~Leland Stanford called
together at their San Francisco mansion the 24~prominent men who had
been chosen as the first trustees of The Leland Stanford Junior University.
They handed to the board the Founding Grant of the University, which they
had executed three days before. This document---with various amendments,
legislative acts, and court decrees---remains as the University's charter.
In bold, sweeping language it stipulates that the objectives of the University
are ``to qualify students for personal success and direct usefulness in life;
and to promote the publick welfare by exercising an influence in behalf of
humanity and civilization, teaching the blessings of liberty regulated by
law, and inculcating love and reverence for the great principles of
government as derived from the inalienable rights of man to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.'' \moretext
