CTAN Update: xifthen
by CTAN Announcements 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

On Fri, 17 Apr 2009 Josselin Noirel submitted an update to the xifthen package. This package extends the ifthen package by implementing new commands to go within the first argument of ifthenelse: to test whether a string is void or not, if a command is defined or equivalent to another. The package also enables use of complex expressions as introduced by the package calc, together with the ability of defining new commands to handle complex tests. The package requires e-TeX features. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xifthen License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug fix (spurious space removed) Bug reported by Ulrike Fisher. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xifthen/ .

CTAN Update: nicetext (fifinddo & makedoc)
by CTAN Announcements 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

On Thu, 16 Apr 2009 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the nicetext package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ Summary description: string substitution and txt->TeX by LaTeX (documenting packages) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The NICETEXT bundle offers ``minimal'' markup syntax for restricted kinds of text: There should not be much more characters typed than printed! (though keeping LaTeX quality.) No more backslashes, technical terms, and curly braces! (so clumsy on PC keyboards) ... Main focus now is easy *documentation of LaTeX packages*. Preprocessing by 'Perl' or so is replaced by TeX macros (reviving/generalizing the 'docstrip' idea). 'fifinddo.sty' provides setup for txt -> TeX preprocessing macros including *expandable* sequences of safe, correct string substitions. 'fifinddo.pdf' mathematically characterizes wrong substring detection by 'substr.sty' as well as by LaTeX's internal `in@'. There is a script language for detecting package code and documentation and for supplying plain text with typographical markup ('makedoc.sty', 'mdcorr.cfg'). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ .
