CTAN has a new package: ellipsis
by Jim Hefferon 11 Oct '03

11 Oct '03

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: ellipsis Author's name: Peter J. Heslin Location on CTAN: tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ellipsis Summary description: A LaTeX package to fix the uneven spacing around ellipses in text mode License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a simple package that fixes a problem in the way LaTeX handles ellipses: it always puts a tiny bit more space after dots in text mode than before it, which results in the ellipsis being off-center when used between two words. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ellipsis although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN has a new package: BibTeX Database Generator
by Jim Hefferon 09 Oct '03

09 Oct '03

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in a day or two. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: BibTeX Database Generator Author's name: Pallav Gupta Location on CTAN: support/bibtex-gen Summary description: A simple interactive script to generate BibTeX Files. License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just an interactive script that I use in my Latex work to generate Bibtex files. I do not like typing all the unnecessary details nor do I like copying and then modifying entries. So I wrote this small script to help you type only what you need in your (customized) bibliographies and generate a file which contains all the extra info. I just wanted to share it. Who knows, some might find it useful. Note that its not a bibtex file parser! I'll be happy to make improvments if someone (besides me) ever gets around to using it. You're welcome to email me to provide suggestions. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/bibtex-gen although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

Plain TeX macro: figflow -- flow text around a figure
by Robin Fairbairns 04 Oct '03

04 Oct '03

recently, in response to a post on comp.text.tex, Ian Hutchinson posted a short piece of code to do this job. the abstract i've written for the catalogue says Provides a Plain TeX macro figflow that allows one to insert a figure into an area inset into a paragraph. Command arguments are width and height of the figure, and the figure (and its caption) itself. (Does not work with LaTeX.) i asked (and was given) permission to put the file on ctan, and have installed it on ctan in directory macros/plain/contrib/figflow Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
