CTAN package update: algorithms

Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: algorithms Author's name: Peter Williams Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/algorithms Summary description: Macros for describing algorithms and a float to encapsulate them License type: lgpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides two environments, algorithmic and algorithm, which are designed to be used together but may be used separately.

CTAN upload -- enumitem 1.0 and esindex 1.1
by Reinhard Zierke 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

----- Forwarded message from Javier Bezos ----- I've uploaded to the DANTE server the files esindex.sty esindex.tex README (zipped as bezos.zip) which should be replace the files currectly under /macros/latex/contrib/bezos =============================================================== With esindex you can write, say, esindex{cañón} and the entry will be correctly alphabetized. This release of esindex works with accented characters in any encoding, or so I hope, and without babel. =============================================================== I've uploaded to the DANTE server the 4 files enumitem.sty enumitem.tex enumitem.pdf README (zipped as enumitem.zip) which should be placed under the new directory /macros/latex/contrib/enumitem Note this package is not placed under contrib/bezos any more. =============================================================== Enumitem is package to customize the three basic lists (enumerate, itemize and description) by means of a set of parameters. It provides most of the flexibility you may want to design your own lists: - fancy labels and fancy refs, - leftmargin, labelsep and labelwidth automatically set, - changes applied globally or only in one of the three types or even in a single list (including topsep) by means of a sort of inheritance, - several description styles (which fix some bad spacing, too), - starting value and resuming the counter, - trivlists properly formatted, - control on page breaking =============================================================== ----- End forwarded message ----- Thank you very much for the upload. I installed the files as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bezos/ and CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/. The latter package moved from the common directory macros/latex/contrib/bezos to a place of its own. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
