v3.9 of the uk tex faq
by Robin Fairbairns 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

i have just installed a new version on ctan at help/uk-tex-faq, and on the web at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq this latest version has a few minor changes (mostly editorial in nature), and i'm only releasing it because of the changes in the structure of the macros/latex/contrib tree on ctan: the subdirectories supported/ and other/ are to disappear before i expect to have a chance to work on the faq again.

aas macros
by Robin Fairbairns 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

i've just read a post from chris wallace, on c.t.t, which says the canonical source is elsewhere, and the 2.09 ones on ctan are obsolete (the post offered a link to some publisher's site, fwiw). so i've done the obvious thing and moved macros/latex209/contrib/aasmacros to the obsolete tree on ctan.

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should be at your favorite mirror by now.

It uses a Perl script to generate hyphenation patterns for Ibycus from those for the ordinary Babel encoding, cbgreek. It sets up ibycus as a pseudo-language you can specify in the normal Babel manner. For proper hyphenation of Greek quoted in mid-paragraph, you should use it with elatex.
