CTAN update: program version 3.3.11
by CTAN Announcements 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: program.sty version 3.3.11 Author's name: Martin Ward Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/program Summary description: A style file for typesetting programs in maths mode with indentation License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a copy of my LaTeX2e style file for typesetting programs and algorithms in my favourite style without having to type in endless tabbing commands. Each line is set in math mode so all the indentation and spacing is done automatically. The notation |variable_name| can be used within normal text, maths expressions or programs to indicate a variable name. Use origbar to get a normal | symbol in a program. The commands A, B, R, T and typeset the corresponding bold letter with the next object as a substript (eg S1 typesets {f S$_1$} etc). They now cope with primes as well, (eg $S2'''$). The program.sty file can be easily edited to reflect your favoured style. Typesetting a program is as easy as: (IF x e 0 THEN |long_name|_{123} = x^y FI) See the program-demo.tex file for examples. The file should work with or without AMSLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/program .

tug.ctan.org upload: ionumbers
by CTAN Announcements 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

This package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ionumbers Author's name: Christian Schneider Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers Summary description: restyle numbers in math mode License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `ionumbers' stands for `input/output numbers'. This package restyles numbers in math mode. If a number in the input file is written, e.g., as |$3,231.44$| as commonly used in English texts, this package is able to restyle it to be output as `$3,231{,}44$' as commonly used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be very useful, if you have a large table and want to include it in texts with different output conventions without the need of changing the table. Furthermore this package can automatically group digits left to the decimal separator (thousands) and right to the decimal separator (thousandths) in triplets without the need of specifing commas (English) or points (German) as separators. E.g., the input |$1234.567890$| can be output as `$1,234.,567,890$'. Finally, an |e| starts the exponent of the number. For example, |$21e6$| may be output as `$26 imes10,^{6}$'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers .
