CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

On Sun, 26 Jul 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 Changes in v1.4b: - Bugfix: problem with different default values for page size with pdflatex (dvi mode) and dvips/dvipdfmx => better specify page size with an option like a4paper - Bugfix: changed procedure of loading hyperref to prevent warnings with dvipdfmx reported by: Jin-Hwan Cho ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 .

CTAN update: Eplain 3.3
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

This package has been updated on CTAN and should by now be at your local mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ------------------------- Announcement ------------------------- I'm happy to announce release 3.3 of Eplain, a set of TeX macros that expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a style-neutral fashion. Eplain's home page is http://tug.org/eplain You can get it off CTAN at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain The manual is available on-line from CTAN or Eplain's home page, or as a hard-copy from http://www.lulu.com/content/113810 (royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group). Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file. * New commands eqnum and eqalignnum, counterparts of (l)eqno and (l)eqalignno, producing equation numbers which can be uniformly transformed to right-aligned ( ighteqnumbers) or left-aligned (lefteqnumbers). * Eplain has borrowed the eTeX, ExTeX, XeTeX and XeLaTeX logos from tugboat.dtx. * idxnameseparator is now expanded once so that the .idx file contains its contents instead of the macro call. * Non-silent indexing macros have been fixed not to produce a spurious newline when newline's catcode is 13 (active). * Eplain now takes care to unactivate any active characters before typesetting index term in the margin for proofing. * Updated ifpdf.sty. * LaTeX package reloading warnings are now not shown on the terminal. * Documentation improvements. Thanks to everybody who contributed with bug reports, feature suggestions and code patches. Oleg Katsitadze
