Bug#67134: lshort.dvi has wrong instructions for including an eps figure.

[Jamie Fifield <fifield@ghost.nslug.ns.ca>]

Package: tetex-doc
Version: 1.0-10
Severity: normal


Section 4.1 of "The Not So Short Introduction to LATEX 2e" guide gives
a three step instruction for including an encapsulated postscript file in a
latex document.

Following the instructions gives the error:

! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.


Chris Maxwell (maxwell@cs.dal.ca) and Jeff Allen (allen@cs.dal.ca) pointed
out to me this alternate method for including eps graphics:

1. Export the picture from you graphics program in EPS format.

2. Load the psfig package in the preamble

	\usepackage{psfig}

3. Use the command

	\psfig{file}


For example:

	\begin{figure}
	\centerline{\psfig{figure=test.eps}}
	\end{figure}



These different steps work for me, your mileage may vary of course, but I
thought I would point it out as it's been frustrating me for days...  If 
indeed this is a problem in the upstream documentation, I would be somewhat
willing to help the doc maintainers to modify this one section to better
reflect the actual way of including images in a document.
