CTAN Update: dvdcoll
by CTAN Announcements 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

On Sun, 27 Apr 2008, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the dvdcoll package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements. dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL Changes in v1.1a: 2008/04/21 Bugfix: pn@pdf@string@def (pdfnotiz.sty) [jk] macro name change in hyperref.sty [2008/04/12 v6.77m] (HyPSD@AMSclassfix -> HyPsd@AMSclassfix) the same fix is needed in the derived macro pn@pdf@string@def ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll .

CTAN package update: dashrule
by CTAN Announcements 28 Apr '08

28 Apr '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: dashrule Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dashrule Summary description: Draw dashed rules in LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's ule and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as ule, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally using ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor. This minor update enables hdashrule to begin a paragraph. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dashrule .

Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: edmargin 1.0 Author's name: John Burt Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/edmargin Summary description: Multiple series of endnotes for critical editions, including sections defined on the fly License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Edmargin provides a very simple scheme for endnote sections for critical editions. Endnotes can either be marked in the text, or with marginal references to the page in the note sections where the note is to be found. Notes can be set in individual paragraphs, or in block paragraph mode (where there are many short notes). Note sections will have running headers of the form "Textual notes to pp. xx--yy" New note sections can be created on the fly. There are predefined endnote sections for textual notes, emendations, and explanatory notes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/edmargin .
