The package below has been updated on 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: everypage Author's name: Sergio Callegari Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/everypage Summary description: Provide hooks to be run on every page of a document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 1.1 of the everypage package. Version 1.0 had a bug that caused LaTeX to exceed its capacity or to hang. Such behaviour was particularly evident in conjunction with the draftwatermark package. UPGRADE IS RECOMMENDED The package provides hooks to perform actions on every page, or on the current page. Specifically, actions are performed after the page is composed, but before it is shipped, so they can be used to prepare the output page in tasks like putting watermarks in the background, or in setting the next page layout, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/everypage . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/everypage (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 .
