README for regstats package, 2023-04-04, v1.1a TABLE OF CONTENTS ================= 1 Introduction 2 Download 3 Installation 4 Additional Packages 5 Package Compatibility 6 Author/Maintainer 7 Bug Reports 8 Known Problems 1 INTRODUCTION ============== This LaTeX package allows to count the number of used registers (counter, dimen, skip, muskip, box, token, input, output, math families, languages, insertions). Therefore the according \count is read. While \count10 should be the number of the counters, \count11 the one of the dimens, and so on, if there is enough room for another register of that type, then a new one of that register is used and looked at \the\allocationnumber. The result for each register is compared to the maximum available number of the respective register. With option "left" additionally the number of remaining registers of each type is given, and with option "timer" the time needed for the compilation run (when either LuaLaTeX with \directlua{starttime = os.clock()} before \documentclass or pdf(la)tex is used).

Thus you can directly unpack the ZIP file inside a TDS tree. See https://ctan.org/TDS-guidelines for an explanation of TDS. Example: cd /...somewhere.../texmf unzip /...downloadpath.../regstats.tds.zip Do not forget to refresh the file name database of this TDS tree. Example: texhash /...somewhere.../texmf Manual installation ------------------- a) Download the regstats files from CTAN. If necessary, unpack them. b) Generate the package and driver files: tex regstats.dtx c) Install the file "regstats.sty" in your TDS tree: cp regstats.sty TDS:tex/latex/regstats/ Replace "TDS:" by the prefix of your TDS tree (texmf directory). d) Create the documentation, if necessary, e.g. pdflatex regstats.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist regstats.idx pdflatex regstats.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist regstats.idx pdflatex regstats.dtx e) Update the databases if necessary, e.g. for TeXLive: texhash or mktexlsr. f) Create the regstats-example.pdf, if necessary, e.g. pdflatex regstats-example.tex pdflatex regstats-example.tex or remove the "%% " before "\directlua{starttime = os.clock()}" in the regstats-example.tex and use lualatex regstats-example.tex lualatex regstats-example.tex lualatex regstats-example.tex g) Copy the documentation files to "TDS:doc/latex/regstats/": README, regstats.pdf, regstats-example.tex, regstats-example.log, regstats-example.pdf. 4 ADDITIONAL PACKAGES ===================== regstats loads other packages: - kvoptions, https://ctan.org/pkg/kvoptions - iftex, https://ctan.org/pkg/iftex with option timer additionally: - intcalc, https://ctan.org/pkg/intcalc which again load other packages (see the result of the \listfiles command in the log-file of the example). 5 PACKAGE COMPATIBILITY ======================= regstats should be loaded very last (but can be loaded earlier). The timer option does not work with e.g. XeTeX, only with (pdf)(la)tex or (lua)(la)tex. (Otherwise just do not use the option.) 6 AUTHOR/MAINTAINER =================== * H.-Martin Münch 7 BUG REPORTS ============= A bug report should contain: * Comprehensive problem description. This includes error or warning messages. * \errorcontextlines=\maxdimen can be added in the TeX code to get more information in TeX error messages. * Minimal test file that shows the problem, but does not contain any unnecessary packages and code. * Used drivers/programs. * Version information about used packages and programs. * If you are using LaTeX, then add "\listfiles" to the document. Then a list of version information is printed at the end of the LaTeX run. * Please no other files than the minimal test file. The other files .log, .dvi, .ps, .pdf are seldom necessary, so send them only on request. * Please .zip or .tar.gz your file(s) before sending them! Bug address ----------- Bug reports can be send to the maintainer: H.-Martin Münch 8 KNOWN PROBLEMS ================ * Counting the used inserts is an issue.
