questions about Aditya's thesis

[Mohamed Bana]

Hello everyone,


Here's the link to his thesis; 
http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam/publications/thesis/thesis.tar.gz


1. Is this the new official syntax?

\chapter[chap:01] Introduction

\section Motivation


2. How do I enabled colour links for the bibliography citations? I've 
tried - You'll have to move/delete t-bib.tex if you're running a recent 
ver. of the minimals to get the the doc to compile.

% env-thesis.tex lines 289-291
\setupinteraction[state=start,style=,color=]
\setupinteraction[focus=standard]
\placebookmarks  [chapter,section][chapter]

and

% line 3, macros.tex
\setupcolors[state=start]

% line 8, macros.tex
\setupcite  [interaction=start, compress=no,color=] %darkgreen]

Yet the links are still in black. Here's the pdf; 
http://filebin.ca/mzxxpc/thesis.pdf or http://filebin.ca/mzxxpc


3. The entries in bibliography outflow into the margins; pages 23 
onwards. I don't mind if the line contains huge gaps as long as the 
entries don't flow into the margins.

4. How do I decrease the linespacing? Don't you agree with Minion Pro it 
doesn't look as good as with Palatino.

Well, this has been possible for a long time. I prefer this over 
\section{Motivation} since there is less things to type :-) I don't think 
that this is documented anywhere.

Change color= to color=darkgreen (or any other color that you like).

This will also make all the section heads colored. If you do not like it, 
remove color=something from the \setuphead commands.

cite currently does not support changing colors of links. You get the same 
color as interationcolor. I had made some changes in my local copy of 
t-bib, but that won't work because old t-bib uses deprecated method of 
setting variables and constants.

Add something like

\setuptolerance[verytolerant, stretch] before \placepublications. 
Occasionally, I had to edit the bbl file by hand to get the spacing that I 
wanted.

Change \setupinterlinespace    [medium,auto] to [small,auto] or simply 
remove this line.
