All parameters may now be omitted. - Added pgfimage command. - Option for selecting a specific page from an image file. - Fixed bug in xxcolor.sty having to do with @ifempty command. - Reworked the formatting of the user's guide. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN Submission -- lettrine
by Reinhard Zierke 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

----- Forwarded message from Daniel Flipo ----- I have just uploaded into ftp.dante.de/incoming a file lettrine.tar.gz, which contains an upgrade (V 1.5) of the lettrine package designed to typeset various sorts of dropped capitals. It should replace the old version in 'macros/latex/contrib/lettrine'. The license is unchanged (LPPL). This release offers a new functionality: % Instead of giving optional parameters to the |lettrine| command, % it is now possible to set them on a per character basis in a % second config file (this was suggested by Pascal Kockaert): % | enewcommand{DefaultOptionsFile}{| extit{filename}|}| % in the preamble (or anywhere in the document) will % force each call to |lettrine| to read the file extit{filename}. % See examples of such config files in the subdirectory % file{contrib}. Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/lettrine Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
