CTAN package update: listings
by CTAN Announcements 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

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: 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: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX. The source code is read directly by TeX. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles. 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 1.4, is the first major bugfix release in nearly three years, and contains fixes for a number of minor bugs and package conflicts, as well as some new functionality: * Many small improvements to the documentation. * Short inline listings, like so: |i = 1 + 2;|. * A new flexible-column option which only stretches existing spaces. * A new string type with multi-character delimiters. * An option to turn off by-chapter numbering of listing captions. * Better integration with KOMAscript and AMS document classes. * Several new language definitions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=listings (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).

CTAN Update: dvdcoll
by CTAN Announcements 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

On Mon, 26 Feb 2007, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the dvdcoll package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements. dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL new in v1.0: - new feature: Seasons in the Bookmarks dvdcoll.cls now offers a new level Season for grouping dvds into a season in the bookmarks by simply setting dvdnumering=season as option in DvdSeries - several minor improvements and bugfixes (see: CHANGES) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll .
