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

19 Dec '08

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org. Thanks, 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: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.2e - Adjustments to biblatex version 0.8b. Note that from this version on biblatex 0.8b is required, so you have to update biblatex as well if you would like to use biblatex-dw 1.2e! -> The new biblatex option 'usetranslator' is supported. - BUGFIX: The option 'firstfullname' introduced in version 1.2d had a bug which is now fixed. - BUGFIX: The 'idem' functionality did not work with the multicite commands. This is now fixed. - New option 'journumafteryear': If set to 'true', the 'number' in article entries is printed after the year and introduced by the bibstring 'number'. If set to 'false', the default behaviour is used, i.e. 'Journaltitle volume.number (year)'. The default is 'true'. -> If 'journumafteryear' is set 'false', the separator between volume and number in @article entries is now configurable with the new command 'jourvolnumsep'. The default is a dot (which is also the default in biblatex). - When the 'volume' is missing, the parenthesis around the year in @article entries is omitted. - The multicite command cites is now also always printed as footnote in 'footnote-dw'. - Some changes in the internal code. - Extended the documentation and examples. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblate… .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

On Tue, 16 Dec 2008, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LATEX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

This package has been updated at 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: Toptesi v.5.00 Author's name: Claudio Beccari Location on CTAN: /contrib/toptese Summary description: This is a bundel of files for typesetting university theses in a multilanguage environment.
