\begin{abstract}
\noindent This package, initially a collection of Michael A. Covington's private macros, provides
numerous minor \LaTeX\ enhancements for linguistics, including multiple accents on the
same letter, interlinear glosses (word-by-word translations), Discourse Represenation Structures,
and example numbering. The package works both with \LaTeX\ 2.09 and \LaTeXe.

\section{Introduction}

This file is the documentation for \MakeLowercase{\pversion}
of \cvt\ (\pdate), which is a \LaTeX\ package providing macros
for typing some special notations common in linguistics.%
\footnote{The package has a long history. It started off as a collection of private macros back in the
\LaTeX\ 2.09 days and was initially released as \texttt{covingtn.sty} (following the old 8.3 \textsc{fat}
file name limit). In em\TeX\ under \textsc{ms-dos}, the file was distributed as \texttt{covingto.sty}.
Eventually, it has been renamed to \cvt\ and adapted to \LaTeXe. Its \LaTeX\ 2.09 traces
are however still visible, and the style should actually still work with \LaTeX\ 2.09 (if not, drop us a note).}

To use \cvt\ with \LaTeXe, simply add the command
\lstinline"\usepackage{covington}" to your document preamble.

\begin{quote}
	\footnotesize
	In \LaTeX\ 2.09,
	include \cvt\ among the optional parameters of 
	\lstinline"\documentstyle", as in:\\
		\lstinline"\documentstyle[12pt,"\underline{covington}\verb"]{article}"
\end{quote}
The package has the following options:
\begin{itemize}
	\item \joption{force}: Force the redefinition of environments that are already defined. This applies to
the \jenv{example}, \jenv{examples} and \jenv{exercise} environments, which are by default not touched if they
are already defined before \cvt\ is loaded. See sec.~\ref{sec:ex}, \ref{sec:exs} and \ref{sec:exercises}
for details.
\end{itemize}
%
In what follows we presume that you know how to use \LaTeX\ and have 
access to \LaTeX\ manuals. Note that \cvt\ does not 
provide any special fonts or character sets.  However, it can be used in 
combination with other style sheets that do.

If you are using \cvt\ and \texttt{uga.sty} (UGa thesis style) 
together, you should load \texttt{uga} before \cvt.

 
\section{Stacked accents}\label{sec:accents}

\LaTeX\ provides a generous range of accents that can be placed on any
letter, such as:
\begin{flushleft}
\`{x} \'{x} \^{x} \"{x} \~{x} \={x} \H{x} \t{xx} \c{x} \d{x} \b{x}
\end{flushleft}
which are typed, respectively, as:
\begin{lstlisting}
\`{x} \'{x} \^{x} \"{x} \~{x} \={x} \H{x} \t{xx} \c{x} \d{x} \b{x}
\end{lstlisting}
\LaTeX\ also provides support for many non-\textsc{ascii} characters, such as%
\footnote{Please refer to \cite{pakin} for a comprehensive list of special characters and symbols.}:
\begin{flushleft}\obeyspaces
\i \j \ae \AE \oe \OE \aa \AA \o \O \l \L \ss ?` !`
\end{flushleft}
via the macros:
\begin{lstlisting}
\i \j \ae \AE \oe \OE \aa \AA \o \O \l \L \ss ?` !`
\end{lstlisting}

But out of the box, \LaTeX\ doesn't give you a convenient way to put \emph{two}
accents on the same letter.  To fill this gap, \cvt\ provides
the following macros:
\begin{flushleft}
	\jcsmacro{twoacc[\ldots|\ldots]} \quad to combine any two accents, e.\,g.,
	               \lstinline[moretexcs={twoacc}].\twoacc[\~|\={a}]. = \twoacc[\~|\={a}]\\[6pt]
	\jcsmacro{acm\{\ldots\}} \quad for acute over macron, e.\,g., \lstinline[moretexcs={acm}].\acm{a}. = \acm{a}\\
	\jcsmacro{grm\{\ldots\}} \quad for grave over macron, e.\,g., \lstinline[moretexcs={grm}].\grm{a}. = \grm{a}\\
	\jcsmacro{cim\{\ldots\}} \quad for circumflex over macron, e.\,g., \lstinline[moretexcs={cim}].\cim{a}. = \cim{a}
\end{flushleft}
The first of these is the general case and the latter three are special
cases that are often used in Greek transcription. Now you can type
\emph{Koin\acm{e}} with both accents in place.

The distance between the two accents can be adjusted via the length
\verb"\twoaccsep", which is preset to \texttt{-0.8ex}.
For instance, if you use \verb"\setlength{\twoaccsep}{-1.05ex}", the above examples will come out as

\setlength{\twoaccsep}{-1.05ex}
\begin{flushleft}
	\jcsmacro{twoacc[\ldots|\ldots]} \quad to combine any two accents, e.\,g.,
	\lstinline[moretexcs={twoacc}].\twoacc[\~|\={a}]. = \twoacc[\~|\={a}]\\[6pt]
	\jcsmacro{acm\{\ldots\}} \quad for acute over macron, e.\,g., \lstinline[moretexcs={acm}].\acm{a}. = \acm{a}\\
	\jcsmacro{grm\{\ldots\}} \quad for grave over macron, e.\,g., \lstinline[moretexcs={grm}].\grm{a}. = \grm{a}\\
	\jcsmacro{cim\{\ldots\}} \quad for circumflex over macron, e.\,g., \lstinline[moretexcs={cim}].\cim{a}. = \cim{a}
\end{flushleft}
with a slightly better matching distance for the font used here.

Note the peculiar syntax of \jcsmacro{twoacc} --- its arguments are in
square brackets, not curly brackets, and are separated by \verb.|..
The first argument is the upper accent (only) and the second argument
is the letter with the lower accent indicated.

Note also that not all accents work in the \jfenv{tabbing} environment.
Use \jfenv{tabular} or refer to \cite{pakin} for alternative solutions.

\section{Example numbers}

Linguistics papers often include numbered examples.
The macro \jcsmacro{exampleno} generates a new example number and can be 
used anywhere you want the number to appear.  For example, to display a 
sentence with a number at the extreme right, do this:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={exampleno}]
\begin{flushleft}
This is a sentence. \hfill (\exampleno)
\end{flushleft}
\end{lstlisting}
Here's what you get:
\begin{flushleft}
This is a sentence. \hfill (\exampleno)
\end{flushleft}
The example counter is actually the same as \LaTeX's equation counter, 
so that if you use equations and numbered examples in the same
paper, you get a single continuous series of numbers. If you want to 
access the number without changing it, use \jfcsmacro{theequation}.

Also, you can use \jfcsmacro{label} and \jfcsmacro{ref} with example numbers in 
exactly the same way as with equation numbers.  Refer to your \LaTeX\ manual for
details. This applies to the \jenv{example} and \jenv{examples} 
environments, described next, as well as to \jcsmacro{exampleno} itself.

\section{The \jenv{example} environment}\label{sec:ex}

The \jenv{example} environment (alias \jenv{covexample}) displays a single example
with a generated example number to the left of it.
If you type
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{example}
This is a sentence.
\end{example}
\end{lstlisting}
or
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{covexample}
This is a sentence.
\end{covexample}
\end{lstlisting}
you get:
\begin{example}
This is a sentence.
\end{example}
The example can be of any length; it can consist of many lines (separated by \verb"\\"), or even whole paragraphs.

If you need more space between the example number and the text, you can increase it by means of
the length \jcsmacro{examplenumbersep} (which is preset to \texttt{0pt}). Doing \lstinline|\setlength\examplenumbersep{1em}|,
for instance, will increase the space by 1\,em.

Note that, as of version 1.1, \cvt\ checks if there is already an \jenv{example} environment defined
(e.\,g., by the class). If so, \cvt\ does not
define its own one. However, there is always the alias environment \jenv{covexample} which can be used in order to
produce \texttt{covington's} example. If you use the package option \joption{force}, \cvt\ will override
existing \jenv{example} environments. In any case, the package will issue a warning if \jenv{example} is already defined
(this is the case, for instance, if you use \cvt\ with the \texttt{beamer} class).

One way to number sub-examples is to use \jfenv{itemize} or \jfenv{enumerate}
within an example, like this:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{example}
\begin{itemize}
\item[(a)] This is the first sentence.
\item[(b)] This is the second sentence.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
\end{lstlisting}
This prints as:
\begin{example}
\begin{itemize}
\item[(a)] This is the first sentence.
\item[(b)] This is the second sentence.
\end{itemize}
\end{example}
However, the \jenv{examples} environment, described next, is usually more 
convenient.

\section{The \jenv{examples} environment}\label{sec:exs}

To display a series of examples together, each with its own example 
number, use \jenv{examples} (or \jenv{covexamples}) instead of \jenv{example} or \jenv{covexample}.  The only 
difference is that there can be more than one example, and each of them 
has to be introduced by \jfcsmacro{item}, like this:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{examples}
\item This is the first sentence.
\item This is the second sentence.
\end{examples}
\end{lstlisting}
or, respectively:
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{covexamples}
\item This is the first sentence.
\item This is the second sentence.
\end{covexamples}
\end{lstlisting}
This prints as:
\begin{examples}
\item This is the first sentence.
\item This is the second sentence.
\end{examples}
As for \jenv{example}, \cvt\ checks if there is already an \jenv{examples} environment defined,
and if this is the case, \cvt\ does not define its own one. The alias environment \jenv{covexamples}
is always available as a fallback. If you use the package option \joption{force}, \cvt\ will override
existing \jenv{examples} environments. The package will issue a warning if \jenv{examples} is already defined
(this is the case, for instance, if you use \cvt\ with the \texttt{beamer} class), telling you
how it has dealt with the situation.


\section{Glossing sentences word-by-word}\label{sec:gloss}

To gloss a sentence is to annotate it word-by-word.  Most commonly, a 
sentence in a foreign language is followed by a word-for-word 
translation (with the words lined up vertically) and then a smooth 
translation (not lined up), like this:%
\footnote{The macros for handling glosses are adapted with permission 
from \texttt{gloss.tex}, by Marcel R. van der Goot.}
\gll Dit is een Nederlands voorbeeld. 
     This is a Dutch example. 
\glt `This is an example in Dutch.'
\glend
That particular example would be typed as:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={gll,glt,glend}]
\gll Dit is een Nederlands voorbeeld. 
     This is a Dutch example. 
\glt `This is an example in Dutch.'
\glend
\end{lstlisting}
Notice that the words do not have to be typed lining up; instead, \TeX\ 
counts them.  If the words in the two languages do not correspond 
one-to-one, you can use curly brackets to group words.
For example, to print
\gll Dit is een voorbeeldje     in het Nederlands.
     This is a {little example} in {}  Dutch.
\glt `This is a little example in Dutch.'
\glend
you would type:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={gll,glt,glend}]
\gll Dit is een voorbeeldje     in het Nederlands.
     This is a {little example} in {}  Dutch.
\glt `This is a little example in Dutch.'
\glend
\end{lstlisting}
Note that \cvt\ locally activates the end of line in glosses in order to identify the different lines of the gloss (via category code change). This does not work inside macros (e.\,g., if the gloss is in a footnote). To work around this, a special version of the \jcsmacro{gll} macro is provided that does without the character activation: \jcsmacro{xgll}. This can also be used in macro arguments; however, the end of each gloss line needs to be explicitly specified by the \jcsmacro{xgle} macro in this case. If you want to put the above gloss in a footnote, thus, you would type:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={xgll,xgle,glt,glend}]
\xgll Dit is een voorbeeldje     in het Nederlands.\xgle
      This is a {little example} in {}  Dutch.\xgle
\glt `This is a little example in Dutch.'
\glend
\end{lstlisting}
%
All together, \cvt\ provides eight macros for dealing with
glosses:
\begin{itemize}
\item \jcsmacro{gll} introduces two lines of words vertically aligned, and 
activates an environment very similar to \jfenv{flushleft}. The two lines are separated by a normal line break (carriage return).
\item \jcsmacro{glll} is like \jcsmacro{gll} except that it introduces
\emph{three} lines of lined-up words (useful for cited forms, morphology,
and translation).
\item \jcsmacro{xgll} is similar to \jcsmacro{gll} except that it does not make the line ending active. It thus works inside macros such as footnotes but requires explicit gloss line termination via \jcsmacro{xgle}.
\item \jcsmacro{xglll} is similar to \jcsmacro{glll} except that it does not make the line ending active. It thus works inside macros such as footnotes but requires explicit gloss line termination via \jcsmacro{xgle}.
\item \jcsmacro{xgle} is a gloss line ending marker to be used with \jcsmacro{xgll} and \jcsmacro{xglll}.
\item \jcsmacro{glt} ends the set of lined-up lines and introduces a line 
(or more) of translation.
\item \jcsmacro{gln} is like \jcsmacro{glt} but does not start a new line 
(useful when no translation follows but you want to put a number on the 
right).
\item \jcsmacro{glend} ends the special \jfenv{flushleft}-like environment.
\end{itemize}
Here are several examples.  First, a sentence with three lines aligned, 
instead of just two:
\glll  Hoc est aliud exemplum.
       n.sg.nom 3.sg n.sg.nom n.sg.nom
       This is another example.
\glt   `This is another example.'
\glend
This is typed as:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={glll,glt,glend}]
\glll  Hoc est aliud exemplum.
       n.sg.nom 3.sg n.sg.nom n.sg.nom
       This is another example.
\glt   `This is another example.'
\glend
\end{lstlisting}
Next, an example with a gloss but no translation, with an example number 
at the right:
\gll  Hoc habet numerum.
      This has number
\gln  \hfill (\exampleno)
\glend
That one was typed as:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={gll,gln,glend,exampleno}]
\gll  Hoc habet numerum.
      This has number
\gln  \hfill (\exampleno)
\glend
\end{lstlisting}
Finally we'll put a glossed sentence inside the \texttt{example} 
environment, which is a very common way of using it:
\begin{example}
\gll  Hoc habet numerum praepositum.
      This has number preposed
\glt  `This one has a number in front of it.'
\glend
\end{example}
This last example was, of course, typed as:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={gll,glt,glend}]
\begin{example}
\gll  Hoc habet numerum praepositum.
      This has number preposed
\glt  `This one has a number in front of it.'
\glend
\end{example}
\end{lstlisting}
Notice that every glossed sentence begins with either \jcsmacro{gll} or 
\jcsmacro{glll}, then contains either \jcsmacro{glt} or \jcsmacro{gln}, and ends 
with \jcsmacro{glend}.  Layout is critical in the part preceding 
\jcsmacro{glt} or \jcsmacro{gln}, and fairly free afterward.

\section{Phrase structure rules}

To print phrase structure rules such as \psr{S}{NP~VP} you can use \texttt{covington's} macro
\lstinline[moretexcs={psr}]"\psr{<constituent>}{<sub-constituents>}" (for the given example,
\lstinline[moretexcs={psr}]"\psr{S}{NP~VP}").

\section{Feature structures}

To print a feature structure such as
\begin{flushleft}
\fs{case:nom \\ person:P}
\end{flushleft}
you can type:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={fs}]
\fs{case:nom \\ person:P}
\end{lstlisting}

The feature structure can appear anywhere --- in continuous text, in a
displayed environment such as \jfenv{flushleft}, or inside a
phrase-structure rule, or even inside another feature structure.

To put a category label at the top of the feature structure, like this,
\begin{flushleft}
\lfs{N}{case:nom \\ person:P}
\end{flushleft}
here's what you type:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={lfs}]
\lfs{N}{case:nom \\ person:P}
\end{lstlisting}
And here is an example of a \textsc{ps}-rule made of labeled feature structures:
\begin{flushleft}
\psr{\lfs{S}{tense:T}}
    {\lfs{NP}{case:nom \\  number:N}
     \lfs{VP}{tense:T \\ number:N} }
\end{flushleft}
which was obviously coded as:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={lfs,psr}]
\psr{\lfs{S}{tense:T}}
    {\lfs{NP}{case:nom \\  number:N}
     \lfs{VP}{tense:T \\ number:N} }
\end{lstlisting}


\section{Discourse Representation Structures}

Several macros in \cvt\ facilitate display of discourse 
Representation Structures (\textsc{drs}es) in the box notation introduced by 
Hans Kamp.  The simplest one is \jcsmacro{drs}, which takes two arguments:
a list of discourse variables joined by \verb"~", and a list of \textsc{drs} 
conditions separated by \verb"\\".  Nesting is permitted.  Note that the 
\jcsmacro{drs} macro itself does not give you a displayed environment; you 
must use \jfenv{flushleft} or the like to display the \textsc{drs}.
Here are some examples:

\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={drs}]
\begin{flushleft}
  \drs{X}{donkey(X)\\green(X)}
\end{flushleft}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth}
\begin{flushleft}
\drs{X}{donkey(X)\\green(X)}
\end{flushleft}
\end{minipage}

\medskip

\begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={drs}]
\begin{flushleft}
  \drs{X}
  {named(X,`Pedro') \\
    \drs{Y}{donkey(Y)\\owns(X,Y)}~~
    {\large $\Rightarrow$}~
    \drs{~}{feeds(X,Y)}
  }
\end{flushleft}
\end{lstlisting}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth}
	\begin{flushleft}
		\drs{X}
		{named(X,`Pedro') \\
			\drs{Y}{donkey(Y)\\owns(X,Y)}~~
			{\large $\Rightarrow$}~
			\drs{~}{feeds(X,Y)}
		}
	\end{flushleft}
\end{minipage}

\medskip

\noindent To display a sentence above the \textsc{drs}, use \jcsmacro{sdrs}, as in:

\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={sdrs}]
\begin{flushleft}
  \sdrs{A donkey is green.}{X}{donkey(X)\\green(X)}
\end{flushleft}
\end{lstlisting}
which prints as:

\begin{flushleft}
		\sdrs{A donkey is green.}{X}{donkey(X)\\green(X)}
\end{flushleft}

Some \textsc{drs} connectives are also provided (normally for forming
\textsc{drs}es that are to be nested within other \textsc{drs}es).
The macro \jcsmacro{negdrs} forms a \textsc{drs} preceded by a negation symbol:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={negdrs}]
\negdrs{X}{donkey(X)\\green(X)}
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{flushleft}
\negdrs{X}{donkey(X)\\green(X)}
\end{flushleft}
Finally, \jcsmacro{ifdrs} forms a pair of \textsc{drs}es joined by a big arrow,
like this:
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={ifdrs}]
\ifdrs{X}{donkey(X)\\hungry(X)}
      {~}{feeds(Pedro,X)}
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{flushleft}
\ifdrs{X}{donkey(X)\\hungry(X)}
      {~}{feeds(Pedro,X)}
\end{flushleft}
If you have an ``if''-structure appearing among ordinary predicates 
inside a \textsc{drs}, you may prefer to use \jcsmacro{alifdrs}, which is just like 
\jcsmacro{ifdrs} but shifted slightly to the left for better alignment.

\section{Exercises}\label{sec:exercises}

The \jenv{exercise} environment (alias \jenv{covexercise}) generates an exercise numbered according 
to chapter, section, and subsection (suitable for use in a large book; 
in this example, the subsection number is going to come out as 0). Here is an example:
\begin{exercise}[Project]
Prove that the above assertion is true.
\end{exercise}
This was coded as
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{exercise}[Project]
Prove that the above assertion is true.
\end{exercise}
\end{lstlisting}
The argument (\verb"[Project]" in the example) is optional.

Note that, as of version 1.1, \cvt\ checks if there is already an \jenv{exercise} environment
defined (e.\,g., by the class). If so, \cvt\ does not define its own one. However, there is always
the alias environment \jenv{covexercise} which can be used in order to produce \texttt{covington's} exercise.
If you use the package option \joption{force}, \cvt\ will override existing \jenv{exercise}
environments. In any case, the package will issue a warning if \jenv{exercise} is already defined.

\section{Reference Lists}\label{sec:reflists}

To type a simple \textsc{lsa}-style hanging-indented reference list, you can use the \jenv{reflist}
environment.  (\emph{Note:} \jenv{reflist} is not integrated with Bib\TeX\ in any way.%
\footnote{For Bib\TeX, there are several options: the \textsc{lsa} style, as used in the journal \emph{Language},
can be obtained by means of the style files \texttt{lsalike.bst}
(\url{http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/ftp/pub/speech/jurafsky/lsalike.bst}) or \texttt{language.bst}
(\url{http://ron.artstein.org/resources/language.bst}); the latter uses \texttt{natbib}.
The so-called \emph{Unified Style Sheet for Linguistics}, as proposed by the \textsc{cel}x\textsc{j}
(\emph{Committee of Editors of Linguistics Journals}), which slightly differs from the \textsc{lsa} style,
is followed by the style file \texttt{unified.bst} (available at \url{http://celxj.org/downloads/unified.bst}).
A \texttt{biblatex} style file for the unified style is available at
\url{https://github.com/semprag/biblatex-sp-unified}.})  For example,
\begin{lstlisting}
\begin{reflist}
Barton, G. Edward; Berwick, Robert C.; and Ristad, Eric Sven.  1987.
Computational complexity and natural language.  Cambridge, 
Massachusetts: MIT Press.

Chomsky, Noam.  1965.  Aspects of the theory of syntax.  Cambridge,
Massachusetts: MIT Press.

Covington, Michael.  1993.  Natural language processing for Prolog
programmers.  Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall.
\end{reflist}
\end{lstlisting}
prints as:
\begin{reflist}
Barton, G. Edward; Berwick, Robert C.; and Ristad, Eric Sven.  1987.

By default, the references have a hanging indentation of 3\,em. This can
be globally changed by altering the length \jcsmacro{reflistindent}.
Doing \lstinline|\setlength\reflistindent{1.5em}|, for instance,
will shorten the indentation by half. Likewise, the length \jcsmacro{reflistitemsep}
(6\,pt by default) and \jcsmacro{reflistparsep} (ca. 4\,pt by default) can be adjusted
to alter the vertical separation (\jfcsmacro{itemsep} and \jfcsmacro{parsep}, for that
matter) of reference entries.

Notice that within the reference list, ``French spacing'' is in effect 
--- that is, spaces after periods are no wider than normal spaces. Thus 
you do not have to do anything special to avoid excessive space after 
people's initials.


\section{Displayed sentences}

The macro \jcsmacro{sentence} displays an italicized sentence (it is a 
combination of \jfenv{flushleft} and \jfmacro{itshape}).  If you type
\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={sentence}]
\sentence{This is a sentence.}
\end{lstlisting}
you get:
\sentence{This is a sentence.}


\section{Big curly brackets (disjunctions)}

Last of all, the two-argument macro \jcsmacro{either} expresses alternatives
within a sentence or \textsc{ps}-rule:
\begin{flushleft}
\lstinline[moretexcs={either}]"the \either{big}{large} dog" $=$ the \either{big}{large} dog \\
\end{flushleft}
\begin{flushleft}
\lstinline[moretexcs={either,psr}]"\psr{A}{B~\either{C}{D}~E} " $=$ \psr{A}{B~\either{C}{D}~E}
\end{flushleft}

That's all there is for now.
Suggestions for improving \cvt\ are welcome, and bug
reports are actively solicited (via \url{https://github.com/jspitz/covington}).  Please note, however, that this is free
software, and the authors make no commitment to do any further work on 
it.

\section{Release history}

\subsection*{1.3 (2017 April 5)}

\begin{itemize}
	\item Gloss variants \jcsmacro{xgll} and \jcsmacro{xglll} that work
	      inside macros (such as footnotes) but require explicit gloss
	      line end markers (\jcsmacro{xgle}). See sec.~\ref{sec:gloss} for details.
	\item New lengths \jcsmacro{reflistindent}, \jcsmacro{reflistparsep} and
	      \jcsmacro{reflistitemsep} to globally adjust the indentation or vertical
	      space, respectively, of reflist items.
	      See sec.~\ref{sec:reflists} for details.
\end{itemize}

\subsection*{1.2 (2016 August 26)}

\begin{itemize}
	\item New length \jcsmacro{examplenumbersep} to adjust (increase) the horizontal space
	between example number and example text. See sec.~\ref{sec:ex} for details.
	\item Add some more info about bibliography generation.
\end{itemize}

\subsection*{1.1a (2016 July 7)}

\begin{itemize}
	\item Fix encoding problem in documentation and some typos. No change in functionality.
\end{itemize}

\subsection*{1.1 (2016 July 6)}

\begin{itemize}
	\item The package now uses \textsc{nfss} font commands if available (fallback for \LaTeX\ 2.09 is still provided).
	\item Work around clash with classes\slash packages that define their own \jenv{example} and
               \jenv{examples} environments (most notably the \texttt{beamer} class) as well as \jenv{execise} environments.
               The \cvt\ package no longer blindly attempts to define these environments. By default, it does not
               define them if they are already defined (\texttt{covington's} own environments, however, are still available via aliases).
               By means of a new package option, a redefinition can also be forced.  See sec.~\ref{sec:ex} and \ref{sec:exs} for details.
	\item New length \jcsmacro{twoaccsep} allows for the adjustment of the distance between stacked accents (see sec.~\ref{sec:accents}).
	\item Update manual.
	\item New maintainer: J. Spitzm\"uller.
	\item License has been changed to \textsc{lppl} (in agreement with M. Covington)
	\item Introduce version numbers. Arbitrarily, we start with 1.1.
\end{itemize}

\subsection*{2014 May 16}

\begin{itemize}
	\item Patches by Robin Fairbairns:
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Setting of \jfcsmacro{textfloatsep} uses \jfcsmacro{setlength} rather than \jfcsmacro{renewcommand}
		\item Style file converted to un*x line endings
	\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\subsection*{2001 March 27}

\begin{itemize}
	\item It is no longer necessary to type \jfcsmacro{it} to get proper italic type in feature structures.
	\item Instructions have been rewritten with \LaTeXe\ users in mind.
\end{itemize}

\subsection*{Older versions}

\begin{itemize}
	\item Multiple accents on a single letter (e.\,g., \emph{\acm{a}}) are supported.
	\item This package is now called \cvt\ (with the o)
	and is compatible with \LaTeXe\ and \textsc{nfss} as well as \LaTeX\ 2.09.
	\item The vertical placement of labeled feature structures has 
	been changed
	so that the category labels line up regardless of the size of
	the structures.
