CTAN has a new package: draftmark
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 05 May '09

05 May '09

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: draftmark Author's name: Ahmed Musa Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/draftmark Summary description: Put draftmarks on select pages intelligently License type: nocommercial Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package puts a user-specified draftmark on pages of documents. It is more general than the package 'draftwatermark' by Sergio Callegari. The advantages of this package over 'draftwatermark' include: the user can specify his own draftmark and color, the draftmark position, the page (all pages, odd pages, even pages, a particular page number, and a range of pages) on which the draftmark should appear, and all the options are passed directly to package instead of being defined by macros. There is also the provision to use the macro draftmarksetup, which can be used to specify draftmark properties for each page or range of pages. With the 'xcolor' package (loaded by this package), all colors (including 'white', shades like 'red!75!green!50', and those defined within the user document) can be passed to this package. The code of this package is very much shorter than that of the 'draftcopy' package by Jurgen Vollmer (2002) because it capitalizes on some dvi 'hook' packages that have become available in recent years (post 2002). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/draftmark .

CTAN Update: fancytooltips
by CTAN Announcements 04 May '09

04 May '09

On Mon, 4 May 2009, Robert Marik submitted an update to the fancytooltips package. The package was inspired by the cooltooltips package. In contrast to cooltooltips, fancytooltips allows inclusion of tooltips which contain arbitrary TeX material or a series of TeX materials (animated graphics) from an external PDF file. To see the tooltips, you have to open the files in Adobe Reader. The links and JavaScripts are inserted using eforms package from the AcroTeX bundle. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/fancytooltips Summary description: fixed bug from previous version License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed bug which caused that some tooltips (on the top of the page) appeared on previous page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fancytooltips . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=fancytooltips (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).
