Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style
file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define
LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes
indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines
LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability.
This release includes a new --makesty command-line option that
generates a PerlTeX-free (but document-specific) noperltex.sty file
suitable for distributing to people who don't have PerlTeX installed.

Summary description: LaTeX2e package providing a new class for
conference proceedings.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The confproc package is a new LaTeX document-class for conference
proceedings. It derives form LaTeX scripts written for the DAFx-06
conference proceedings, mainly based on the pdfpages package for
including the proceedings papers and the hyperref package for creating
proper table of contents, bookmarks and general bibliography
back-references. It also uses many other packages for fine tuning of
table of contents, bibliography and index of authors. The added value
of this class resides in its time-saving aspects when designing
conference proceedings.
