CTAN package withdrawn: memoir-beta
by Robin Fairbairns 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

The production release of memoir has been around for some time, without substantial complaint, so Peter Wilson has asked me to remove the beta-distribution (macros/latex/eptl/memoir-beta). Its disappearance is, even as I write, propagating around the world. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

Just tell the package which fonts to use for which Unicode blocks or groups (such as the Hebrew block, or all Latin blocks) and wrap your text in the fontwrap macro (requires UTF8 input, but then when don't you save a multilingual file in UTF8 anymore these days?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontwrap .

Re: dante.ctan.org upload: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

On Thu, 5 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1d - BUGFIX: The global option 'oldauthor' which was introduced in version 1.1c caused an erroneous behaviour when used together with 'idembib=true' (which is the default). This is now fixed. - New option 'editorstring' which can take the values 'parens', 'brackets' and 'normal'; the default is 'parens'. This option sets the string 'editor' (abbreviated 'ed.') in parentheses or in brackets, or just puts the string (with a preceding comma) after the editor name. - New option 'edbeforetitle' which can take the values 'true' and 'false'; the default is 'false'. When set to 'true', the editor in @INCOLLECTION and @INPROCEEDINGS entries will be typeset before the booktitle ('... in: Editor (ed.): Booktitle ...') rather than afterwards ('... in: Booktitle, ed. by Editor ...'). - Small correction in the terse version of the List of Shorthands concerning the punctuation after authors/ editors. - Added missing bibliography drivers for option 'edbyidem'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

CTAN package update: moreverb
by Robin Fairbairns 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I have updated the moreverb package, following advice from Morten Ho{}gholm to a user. The moreverb package offers a miscellany of verbatim functions; it requires the verbatim package from the LaTeX required distribution. Changes to the package include Morten's patch, and a variety of editorial tidies. I have updated the catalogue and installed a .tds.zip file. Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/moreverb.html or browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moreverb/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
