CTAN package update: listings
by CTAN Announcements 10 May '06

10 May '06

A package update has been installed at tug.ctan.org and it should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: listings Author's name: Brooks Moses Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/listings Summary description: Typeset source code listings using LaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX. The source code is read directly by TeX. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no special style for strings). Includes support for hyperref. To use, simply usepackage{listings}, identify the language with lstset{language=Python}, then employ the egin{lstlisting} ... end{lstlisting} environment or the lstinputlisting{filename.py} command. NOTE: The original author of this package, Carsten Heinz, became inactive sometime in late 2004. Hendri Adriaens took over maintenance of the package in accordance with the LPPL's procedure for abandoned packages. He then passed the maintainership of the package to Brooks Moses, who had volunteered for the position while this procedure was going through. This release, version 1.3c, is not yet the long awaited bugfix release, as the new maintainer (Brooks Moses) has neither a list of reported bugs nor a good test suite to use to check to make sure that the fixes don't break other things. Thus, he asks that users email him reports of any outstanding bugs that they are aware of, as well as examples of interesting uses of listings that should go into the test suite. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/ .

A package has been (after some bumbling on my part) updated at tug.ctan.org and by now has likely made it to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the upload, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: exceltex Author's name: Hans-Peter Doerr Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/exceltex Summary description: get data from Excel files into LaTeX License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Exceltex is a LaTeX package combined with a helper program written in Perl. It provides a easy to use yet powerfull and flexible way to get data from Spreadsheets into LaTeX. In difference to other existing solutions, exceltex does not seek for making the creation of tables in LaTeX easier, but to get data from Spreadsheets into LaTeX as easy as possible. The excel fileformat only acts as an interface between the spreadsheet application and exceltex beacause it is easily accessible via the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel Perl module and because most spreadsheet applications are able to read and write excel files. * changes since last ctan-upload - changed commandline interface - support for configuration files - support for some character encodings, currently latin1 latin9 and utf8 - experimental support for the EURP currency symbol * homepage http://www.physik.uni-freiburg.de/~doerr/exceltex ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/exceltex .
