CTAN Update: adrconv
by CTAN Announcements 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

On Sat, 11 Nov 2006 Axel Kielhorn submitted an update to the adrconv package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/adrconv/ Summary description: Manage Address Entries in a BiBTeX Database and Convert them to Printed Directories License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an update to the ADRconv package, which allows you to generate adr-files suitable for scrletter. It includes a tex document to print pretty directories in various sizes. (For those people that prefer a printed version of their address book to the one in the mobile phone.) After struggling with the English description, I have to admit that the documentation is German only. ADRconv konvertiert Addressdaten aus einer BibTeX Datenbank in .adr-Dateien, wie sie von scrletter gelesen werden können. Außerdem enthält ADRconv eine TeX-Datei, die die Daten für den Ausdruck formatiert. Diese Version behebt Fehler mit Namen, die mit Umlauten beginnen und verbessert die Formatierung von nicht-Personen-Namen, wie {{Dante~e.,V.}}. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/adrconv/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=adrconv (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
