CTAN Update: todonotes
by CTAN Announcements 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

On Wed, 22 Oct 2008, Henrik Skov Midtiby submitted an update to the todonotes package. The package lets the user mark things to do later, in a simple and and visually appealing way. The package takes several options to enable customization/finetuning of the visual appearance. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/todonotes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update fixes a bug that was triggered by the babel package. The problem made the package unusable when then babel package was loaded with the frenchb option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/todonotes/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=todonotes (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: biblatex-dw Author's name: Dominik Wassenhoven Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.2a - Improved option 'edsuper' which also outputs non-INT editions (though not as superscript, but rather similar to a note.) - The field 'origpublisher' (new in biblatex 0.8) is now also supported. - New option 'origfields' which can take the values 'true' (standard) and 'false'. With this option, you can now decide, whether you want to have the fields 'origlocation', 'origpublisher' and 'origyear' to be printed or not. -> New option 'origfieldsformat=parens|brackets|punct'. The default is 'punct' which means that the new punctuation mark 'origfieldspunct' (default: addcommaspace) is used to introduce the reprint phrase. If you choose 'parens' or 'brackets', the reprint phrase is put in parentheses or brackets, respectively, and the origfieldspunct is ignored. - New option 'shorthandwidth'. With this option you can set the width of the label in the list of shorthands to any length (e.g. '3em' or '40pt'). This is useful if you have very long shorthands. -> New punctuation command 'shorthandpunct' which is only exerted when you use the option 'shorthandwidth'. Then it is set to a colon. You can redefine this punctuation command with enewcommand. -> New length 'shorthandsep' which is only exerted if you use the option 'shorthandwidth'. The length 'shorthandsep' defines the spacing after the label in the list of shorthands. - Improved package warnings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblate… .
