CTAN package update: PerlTeX

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: PerlTeX Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/perltex/ Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability. This version (1.5) should run faster on operating systems that support persistent named pipes: Linux, Unix, Mac OS X (untested) -- not Windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex/ .

10 Oct '07

On Tue, 9 Oct 2007 Markus Kohm submitted a new version of the koma-script bundle. The KOMA-Script bundle provides drop-in replacements for the article/report/book classes with emphasis on typography and versatility. There is also a letter class, different from all other letter classes. It also offers e.g. a package for calculated type areas in the way laid down by the typographer Jan Tschichold, a package for easily changing and defining of page styles, a package for getting not only the current date but also the name of day and a package for getting current time. All these packages may be used not only with KOMA-Script classes but also with standard classes. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/koma-script Summary description: KOMA-Script is a versatil LaTeX2e bundle License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script 2007/09/28 v2.97c Copyright (c) Markus Kohm , 1994-2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------- For installation see INSTALL.txt (english) or INSTALLD.txt (german, UTF-8). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes at 2.97c: - improved english manual (almost everything is new) - handling of pseudo-lengths improved (if you are using e-TeX) - option handling improved (new implementation) - some fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script .
