CTAN has a new package: lua-inputenc
by CTAN Announcements 27 Sep '08

27 Sep '08

This package has be put up 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: lua-inputenc Author's name: Javier Bezos Author's email: ctan(a)tex-tipografia.com Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/lualatex/lua-inputenc Summary description: Minimal inputenc for LuaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This file provides a quick support for input encondings in LuaLaTeX (font encodings and languages will follow shortly). It is intended mainly for test purposes, and not as a true input encoding mechanism taking advantage of the possibilities provided by LuaTeX. When used with LuaTeX, you can use two encodings--namely latin1 and utf8. It will give wrong results with the T1 font encoding, because fontenc relies on the LICR, so a lua-fontenc is on the way. With the package option activechars, it calls inputenc, and the LICR mechanism based on active chars is used. With standard TeX, lua-inputenc just calls inputenc (ie, activechars is the default). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/lualatex/lua-inputenc .

CTAN update: latexmk
by CTAN Announcements 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: latexmk Author's name: John Collins Location on CTAN: /support/latexmk Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation program License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document. An important feature is its preview continuous mode, where it watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX etc whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can have an updated display whenever the source files change. The new version (4.01) has important improvements over the previous released version (3.07a): 1. A new method of detecting when a new run of latex is required. This deals robustly with certain macro packages that generate and then read in the generated files on a subsequent run of latex/pdflatex. 2. Much better configurability of the external commands invoked by latexmk. 3. Indexing works with packages multind, and index, as well as makeidx. 4. Many bug fixes and smaller improvements in response to user requests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/latexmk .
