CTAN has a new package: biblatex-chem
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

This package is new at tug.ctan.org and will soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: biblatex-chem Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-chem Summary description: Chemistry styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The biblatex-chem bundle is a set of experiment styles to allow chemists to use biblatex. The bundle is highly experimental, and in this first marker release only the formatting of journal articles has been addressed. The journals covered are: - all ACS journals; - RSC journals using standard (Chem. Commun.) style; - Wiley journals uses Angew. Chem. style. At this stage, feedback in all areas is sought. Is the journal coverage sufficient? Is the naming scheme logical? Are the styles correct, as far as they go? What are the priorities for other record types to handle, and how should the extra data available from biblatex be handled? Updates are likely to be relatively frequent, as new record types are added. The next area to address is books and entries in book, followed by URLs and in press articles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblate… . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-chem (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 .

i have updated my version of the rotating package on ctan. since i last announced an install, i have -- reworked the way in which the package remembers what page it's on, which seems to have solved the problem about page-related rotation. -- mended an infelicity in the way in which captions were produced. as always, bug reports to my address, as in the package, are welcome. users may view the package catalogue entry at: http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html or they may browse the package directory at: http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: pgfopts
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '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: pgfopts Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pgfopts Summary description: LaTeX package options with pgfkeys License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Using key-value options for packages and macros is a good way of handling large numbers of options with a clean interface. The pgfkeys package provides a very well designed system for defining and using keys, but does not make this available for handling LaTeX class and package options. The pgfopts package adds this ability to pgfkeys, in the same way that kvoptions extends the keyval package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pgfopts .
