Description
A supplement is a publication that has a role secondary to that of another preceding or concurrent publication.
A follow-on publication complements its predecessor, either by bringing it up-to-date (e.g. the Index Catalogue), or by otherwise enhancing the predecessor's coverage of a particular topic or subject matter, as in the Tosefta. Supplements are particularly popular and useful in gaming hobbies.
A newspaper supplement, often a weekly section of its parent, usually has a tabloid or magazine format and covers wide-ranging and less time-critical subjects, as in The American Weekly, the 2004 version of Life, and Parade; newspaper supplements became common in France and Germany in the mid to late 19th century--they were called feuillton in French. In Chinese, they are called fukan.
