MiKTeX and proTeXt ⇒ xkeyval package

[ofeyrpf]

I am using Miktex 2.7 on WinXP. Using the 2003 PSTricks (http://www.esnips.com/doc/441f8168-4997 ... -Van-Zandt) user's guide by Tim Van Zandt. I am trying to run the following program, (p.165 of that guide) but am not sure if the packages in the preamble are correct.

It appears from the xkeyval documentation (http://www-hep2.fzu.cz/tex/texmf-dist/d ... keyval.pdf) that it overrides keyval. I know xkeyval is an extension of keyval but that that mean it needs keyval or does it work on its own?

As you can see I tried different packages and just commented them out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Refer to the current versions of the manuals. Please use the short URL from CTAN when linking packages. Your problem may be caused by a clash of package version and manual version.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thanks for your help. Still no luck with compiling. I added the pstricks-add package and pst-xkey to the preamble. I am getting an error after \pst@getint but this is a pstricks macro and detailed in the documentation. So I don't know why it isn't working. Anyone have any ideas?



How do you link to something without writing the full URL.

<a href="http://www.google.ie">Google</a> this obviously doesn't work.

http://www.google.ie that's the same as before.

I can't see how to do it.

I suggest to write to the PSTricks mailing list. The author himself and the regulars are very helpful in solving issues like this.

If you want to link terms with a certain URL, just use the according button right above the input window. Links and other attributes are done with BBCode. So the code for a link looks a little bit different from HTML.

Thanks again for your help. BBcode, very interesting. Now I see how to do it! I have posted to the PsTricks mailing list. Thanks again. Shane
