This work has the LPPL maintenance status "maintained". The Current Maintainer and author of this work is Markus Kohm. The work consists of the file `normalcolor.dtx` only. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHORT DESCRIPTION The package simple provides a command `\setnormalcolor` with the same syntax as command `\color' either of package `color' or package `xcolor'. But `\setnormalcolor' will not change the current colour but the normal colour. So using `\normalcolor' (implicit or explicit) afterwards will change the current colour to the colour given by the previous `\setnormalcolor'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE GENERATION Simple way: To use the simple way you need the original `makefile' from the source distribution of `normalcolor' and `GNU make'. Then you can use: make all to generate all files of `normalcolor'. Manual way: If you cannot use make you can extract all the files using: tex normalcolor.dtx Note that you have to use `tex' not any LaTeX format! This will generate files `normalcolor.sty' and `README.txt'. Rename the generated `README.txt' to `README'. To make the documentation use: pdflatex normalcolor.dtx pdflatex normalcolor.dtx mkindex normalcolor pdflatex normalcolor.dtx pdflatex normalcolor.dtx This will result in the manual file `normalcolor.pdf'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION Simple way: To use the simple way you need the original `makefile' from the source distribution of `normalcolor' and `GNU make' and a TeX-Live-compatible `kpsewhich'. Then you can use: make install to install normalcolor into your personal TEXMF tree. If you want to use the local TEXMF tree instead of the personal one, you may use: make INSTALLLOCAL=true install If you want to use another TEXMF tree, you may use make INSTALLROOT= install Manual way: Copy `normalcolor.sty' to `tex/latex/normalcolor/' inside the TDS tree you want to install `normalcolor'. Copy `normalcolor.pdf' and `README.txt' as `README' to `doc/latex/normalcolor/' inside the TDS tree you want to install `normalcolor'. Maybe you have to call `texhash' for the TDS tree you have installed `normalcolor'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- USAGE See `normalcolor.pdf'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
