Re: [Scidvspc-users] Bug with Export Game to LaTeX

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Thanks Mauro. Yes, i knew castling diagrams are broken.
Your changes are a little too many for me to work with at the moment, but
this latex code is very useful ( i didnt have the slightest how to achieve
these ends).

\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{xstring}

and maybe someone will get around to using it, or i will when i get some
time .

> Beside that, I simplified a bit the typeseting, increasing the vertical
space between paragraphs so it will not be necessary to use line breaks
often. I also replaced some line breaks with \vspace to avoid LaTeX
warnings. Also put a \vspace before the closing horizontal line. Use them
at your criteria.

I also note these changes , which are probably desired, but employing these
changes in the C won't be trivial for me, and might be too much work for
little return.
