CTAN package update: Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk hyphenation patterns
by CTAN Announcements 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

The package below has been updated, and moved, on 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: Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk hyphenation patterns Author's name: Karl Ove Hufthammer Location on CTAN: /language/hyphenation/nohyph Summary description: Hyphenation patterns for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk License type: dfsg Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The current recommended hyphenation patterns for Norwegian, nohyphbx, was developed to support both Norwegian languages, Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk, and it works very well. Unfortunately, a few words needs to be hyphenated differently for the two languages. One example is ‘attende’, which should be hyphenated ‘at-ten-de’ in Norwegian Bokmål and ‘att-en-de’ in Norwegian Nynorsk. This package adds two new hyphenation pattern files, ‘nbhyph.tex’ and ‘nnhyph.tex’, for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk, respectively. The files include the Norwegian ‘nohyphx.tex’ patterns (using input), and just adds a hyphenation exception block for the words that needs to be hyphenated differently for the two languages. These patterns, ‘nbhyph.tex’ and ‘nnhyph.tex’ should become the recommended hyphenation patterns for Norwegian in the future. I hope to have proper support for them included in Babel at a later date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/nohyph .

CTAN Update: natbib 8.0
by CTAN Announcements 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

On Mon, 5 Feb 2007, Patrick Daly submitted a new version of the natbib package. The natbib package provides a style with author-year and numbered references, as well as much detailed of support for other bibliography use. Provides versions of the standard BibTeX styles that are compatible with natbib - plainnat, unsrtnat, abbrnat. The bibliography styles produced by custom-bib are designed from the start to be compatible with natbib. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/natbib Summary description: Update to natbib package, based on user suggestions, wishes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- List of changes (from the README.v80 file) v8.0 Add setcitestyle to simplify changing citation punctuation; is to replace ibpunct, which is retained for compatibility. Citation style commands (setcitestyle, citestyle, ibpunct) are no longer limited to the preamble; in particular they may be issued in different chapters with the chapterbib package; even the author--year or numerical mode can be switched and the bibliography is adjusted accordingly. (This has long been requested by several users.) The docstrip option 'nopreonly' is therefore removed, since it is now always active. Support for LaTeX 2.09 is removed; I no longer can test it and it only complicates the source file. Package option 'colon' always meant putting a semi-colon between multiple citations. This seems odd to me, but I probably thought 'semicolon' was too long. I now have 'semicolon' to be explicit, but 'colon' is still retained (as semi-colon). v7.5 (Never released, it is the preliminary 8.0) Superscript citations: if braces specified, they are also superscripted in both in-text and parenthetical citations. Any optional notes are printed before and after as regular text. Add citenum{key} to print the number, even in author-year mode. And without superscripting and without parentheses. This is so superscripted citations can be referred to in-text as regular numbers. In-text numerical citations with notes: the notes are now outside the parentheses as this appears more logical. For parenthetical citations, notes are still inside. The indexing of citations now has the default format Author [num] in numerical mode. Previously it was Author [date] in both. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib .
