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

Name of contribution: TpX 1.4
Author's name: Alexander Tsyplakov
Location on CTAN: /graphics/tpx/
Summary description: TpX, LaTeX-freindly drawing tool, v.1.4
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TpX 1.4 is on CTAN
TpX is a lightweight, easy-to-use graphical editor for Windows platform
for creation of drawings and inclusion them into LaTeX files in
publication-ready form. It can also be used as a stand-alone editor for
vector graphics.
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.
