by CTAN Announcements 14 Aug '07

14 Aug '07

At Monday, 13 August 2007, Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the ctable package. It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ctable Summary description: Easily typeset centered tables License type: LPPL Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered or left or right aligned tables and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions. - major changes (relative to v1.9): - Footnote markers in the text now stay superscript with nosuper. - Documentation: added many examples for the options. - Corrected some unwanted white space in captions. - Caption package included to correct booktabs errors in caption position. As a consequence: - *Captionskip option redefined*: 0pt value now corresponds to LaTeX defaults ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ctable . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=ctable (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).

The output is a file (with extension .TpX) containing the drawing as LaTeX code or as an includegraphics link to an external file created by the program. User can choose between several output formats. TpX saves its own data in TeX file comments so that the drawing could be loaded into TpX and edited again. This internal TpX format is based on XML and could be understood and edited easily. TpX can import EMF/WMF pictures created by other Windows applications, including many applications producing scientific graphs. It also can import simple SVG pictures. In most cases the result is nice, though sometimes imported picture needs some manual editing. So TpX can be used as a EMF-to-any and SVG-to-any converter.

On Wednesday, 1 August 2007, Jörg Sommer submitted a new package to CTAN: JLM -- Jörg's LaTeX Mode - an advanced LaTeX mode for Jed It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: /support/jed/jlm Summary description: A LaTeX mode for the JED editor License type: GPL Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JLM is an advanced LaTeX mode for Jed <http://www.jedsoft.org> Its aim is to help the user by taking over annoying and stupid things they need to be done, like add a usepackage when you add a command or environment from this package or put dollar signs around mathematical commands and move the cursor to an appropriate point. JLM does not think for you. If you want a tabular, but insert an itemize, JLM doesn't prevent this. So, you should be familiar with LaTeX and know what environments and commands are and where to place them in a document -- JLM helps writing them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/jed/jlm .
