CTAN has a new package: nicetext -- wiki.sty, niceverb.sty (carnival edition)
by CTAN Announcements 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

On Mon, 23 Feb 2009 Uwe Lück submitted the new package nicetext to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ Summary description: ``minimal'' markup for simple text (Wikipedia style) and documentation License type: lppl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The NICETEXT bundle offers ``minimal'' markup syntax for rather simple kinds of text. The code you type should show little more characters than are printed, though you get LaTeX quality. We try to do away with backslashes, technical terms, and curly braces, which (a.o.) may cause musculoskeletal damages at PC keyboards <optional arghh>. 'wiki.sty' addresses general kinds of texts. 'niceverb.sty' is made for documenting LaTeX packages. 'niceverb.sty' especially offers [almost-]WYSIWIG for meta-variables (macro arguments) and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section titles etc. E.g., to typeset the syntax description foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>} you just type foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>} !-) One source of inspiration is the markup syntax that is used in editing Wikipedia pages. The package 'wiki.sty' of the bundle offers a very similar syntax as a LaTeX front-end. It suffices for italics, boldface, sectioning, and certain list-like environments. This is also similar to 'easylatex', http.//www.ctan.org/pkg/easylatex which is more powerful and uses Perl. 'wiki.sty', by contrast, is just a LaTeX package, working on any TeX installation. 'niceverb' is not ready in two essential respects, but I thought it should be released in time for German Carnival (read on in README) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=nicetext (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 .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LATEX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL New in v1.2: - new options: voffset, hoffset, width, height, opacity, avatar, style - new annotation type: FreeText annotation -> pdffreetextcomment - introduction of an avatar and style system -> defineavatar, definestyle, options avatar and style - printing the PDF annotations and popups is possible now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (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 .
