CTAN has a new package: mlist
by CTAN Announcements 19 May '07

19 May '07

A new package has been put into place 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: mlist Author's name: Will Robertson Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mlist Summary description: Separation of form/content for maths `lists' License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Consider this package an exploration of separation of form and content for some mathematical constructions. This package defines the commands ewvect, ewmatr, and ewfunc for creating macros to typeset vectors, matrices, and functions. For example, Logical indexing can then be used to refer to elements or arguments without hard-coding the symbols in the document: ewvectmyvect{V}[elem=a,b,c] myvect{1,2,3} produces left( V_a, V_b, V_c ight) All aspects of the typeset appearance can be adjusted, and new `mlists' can be defined to represent other mathematical constructs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mlist . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=mlist (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).

CTAN has a new package: Philosophersimprint class

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Philosophersimprint class Author's name: Boris Veytsman Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/philosophersimprint Summary description: Typesetting articles for online journal ``Philosophers' Imprint'' License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As said in its mission statement at http://www.philosophersimprint.org, ``Philosophers' Imprint is a refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by philosophy faculty at the University of Michigan, with the advice of an international Board of Editors, and published on the World Wide Web by the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for free, via the Internet.'' The journal used to accept manuscripts in Rich Text Format only. However, for many authors, especially from the field of logic, TeX seems to be a better choice. I was commissioned to write a LaTeX class for this journal. The aim of the class is to help authors to typeset their own articles in the ``Web-ready'' format. We do not assume the authors have any commercial fonts installed on their machines. The class uses only freely available and freely distributed fonts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/philosophersimprint .
