Description of problem: When use the starred version of \vref with varioref.sty, space is removed after the reference number as well as before it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.2-8 and also in rawhide How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create any LaTeX file using \vref* that refers to a reference on another page. 2. Compile with latex. 3. Observe output. Actual results: For input such as In Q\vref*{que:one}, we see a bug. actual output is: 2. In Q1on the preceding page, we see a bug. Expected results: For input such as In Q\vref*{que:one}, we see a bug. expected output is: 2. In Q1 on the preceding page, we see a bug. Additional info: Using varioref.sty v1.4i from CTAN fixes this, and introduces some other fixes as well.
Created attachment 98724 [details] A simple test example that illustrates the problem When compiled using current varioref.sty from CPAN, version v1.4i, the output is correct.
I have confirmed that this is still a problem with tetex-2.0.2-12.1 in rawhide.
I don't see this on CTAN. Please provide the URL. Thanks.
Dear Tim, It is part of the required tools package, as are things such as multicol.sty, verbatim.sty, tabularx.sty, array.sty, etc. It is described on pages 41--45 of Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, "The LaTeX Companion", first edition. I use it in all my documents. The original is at: ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools/varioref.dtx I would get ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/tools.tar.gz, untar it, change into the directory tools, and run latex tools.ins varioref.sty will be one of the resulting files. You also need varioref.dvi (the documentation), by running latex varioref.dtx twice. Put varioref.dvi in /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/tools/varioref.dvi, put varioref.sty in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/tools/varioref.sty, make the patch, add to the spec file, bump the spec release number, add a changelog entry, rpmbuild -ba tetex.spec and you're done, more happy customers! One little hint for finding things on CTAN: quote site index varioref (described in ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.archive-features). Thomas Esser is well on the way to releasing teTeX 3.0. I hope Red Hat will include it soon after it is released, or I will have to package it on my own around Christmas time, and there will be more (not very well justified) moaning about Red Hat on the tetex mailing list.
Thanks for the information. (Concerning teTeX 3.0: yes, I'm following 2.96 reports. Understand though that we patch in Japanese support, and we can't move forward until those patches are ported or integrated.)
Fixed in CVS.
The new Japanese patches are now integrated and this is no longer an issue in teTeX-3.0.
