On Sun, 2 Oct 2005 Uwe Lück submitted updates to the lineno and ednotes packages. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ednotes/ macros/latex/contrib/lineno/ Summary description: Updates: apparatus hook, modulo refinement ... License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Major achievements: 1. ednotes.sty offers PrecedeLevelWith for visually identifying apparatuses (think of pages where only one of them appears) or for controlling the shape of one or another apparatus paragraph (maybe depending on apparatus). (Requires manyfoot.sty v1.9!) 2. lineno.sty offers modulolinenumbers* and a package option `modulo*' for printing first line number after interrupting editor's text, regardless of the modulo. 3. To prevent lemma code from working in the apparatus (`fol...', e.g.), ednotes.sty now offers otinnote (replacing otthislemma, now without `undefined c...'). lineno.sty v4.31: documenting lineno.tex/pdf have been debugged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
