CTAN submission -- typogrid.sty
by Reinhard Zierke 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded typogrid-1_00.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains the new package typogrid.sty (License LPPL) which I suggest to put to CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/typogrid. >From the README: This package produces a typographic grid on every page of the document. That grid consists of vertical lines that devide the text block into columns. This may be useful to get the horizontal measures (distances etc.) into good values. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new package as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/typogrid Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

[emanuelevicentini@yahoo.it: GuIT logo package]
by Reinhard Zierke 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Emanuele Vicentini ----- I've uploaded in incoming/ a little compressed tarball (guit.tar.gz) containing source and documentation of guit.sty, a package to typeset GuIT's logo. The package is released under the LPPL. I'd suggest to store tarball's contents in macros/latex/contrib/ Here's an extract from the README file: The guit.sty package provides some commands useful to correctly write the logo of Gruppo Utilizzatori Italiani di TeX (Italian TeX User Group), using the default document color or any other color the user may ever choose, in conformity with logo's scheme as seen on the Group site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Likewise, commands are available that simplify the writing of GuIT acronym's complete expansion and of the correct address of Group's internet site. Optionally, using hyperref, the outputs of the above cited commands can become hyperlinks to Group's site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Documentation available in Italian only. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed this package as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/GuIT/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- MimeTeX 1.20 (update)
by Reinhard Zierke 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from John Forkosh ----- As per your README.uploads instructions... + what you've uploaded mimetex.zip (version 1.20, to replace support/mimetex/mimetex.zip) + which CTAN node you've uploaded to ftp.dante.de + where you want the files to go support/mimetex Please REPLACE all existing files (mimetex.zip and README) in support/mimetex (and please unzip mimetex.zip README and then place this separate copy of README alongside mimetex.zip in the support/mimetex directory) + what licensing conditions you apply to your software GNU GPL + brief summary of what your upload is intended to do. (a) added picture-like environment, along with picture element commands for circles/ellipses and lines (but not bezier curves yet), see http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#example12 (b) Also: various other changes and fixes, e.g., several delimiters can now be arbitrarily sized ---------------------------------------------------- From the original submission... MimeTeX parses LaTeX math expressions, and emits either mime xbitmaps or gif images of them, rather than the usual TeX dvi's. MimeTeX images are therefore easily imported directly into html documents with the <tag>, e.g., <img src=../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?f(x)=int_{-infty}^x~e^{-t^2}dt border=0 align=absmiddle> without intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion, and without storing lots of little gif files, one file for each converted expression. This makes your web site and html documents more easily maintained. See http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#examples for examples demonstrating mimeTeX's features and usage. MimeTeX is primarily intended to help you maintain native html documents containing math. In this sense it's a kind of lightweight alternative to MathML, with the advantage that mimeTeX preserves LaTeX syntax. Similar non-MathML packages, like textogif and gladTeX, require setup procedures that use TeX to help generate external gif images of your equations, which are later included in your html document as it's being rendered. MimeTeX is, as far as I know, the only such non-MathML package that has its own built-in parser and rendering engine, entirely independent of TeX, and therefore requires no setup procedure or external images whatsoever. It renders realtime, on-the-fly images directly from LaTeX math expressions embedded in html documents. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:/support/mimetex/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
