CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

On Mon, 21 Sep 2009 Josef Kleber submited 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 v1.4c: - revision of documentation added abbreviations for standard 14 fonts clarification of font embedding in PDF free text annotations - minor bug fix ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 .

This update should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: FiXme Version number: 4.0 Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ Summary description: A collaborative annotation tool for LaTeX documents License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm happy to announce FiXme version 4.0 #### WARNING: this is a major release containing many new features and heavy #### internals refactoring. FiXme 4.0 comes with unprecedented flexibiity, #### unrivalled extensibility and unchallenged backward-INcompatibility. What's new in version 4.0 ========================= * Support for collaborative annotations suggested by Michael Kubovy ** Support for targeted notes and environments (highlighting a portion of text), suggested by Mark Edgington. ** Support for floating notes (not specific to any portion of text), suggested by Rasmus Villemoes. ** Support for alternate layout autoswitch in TeX's inner mode suggested by Will Robertson. ** Support for automatic language tracking in multilingual documents ** Support for themes ** Extended support for user-provided layouts ** Support for key=value argument syntax in the whole user interface ** New command fxsetup ** Homogenize log and console messages ** Heavy internals refactoring Description =========== FiXme is a collaborative annotation tool for LaTeX documents. Annotating a document refers here to inserting meta-notes, that is, notes that do not belong to the document itself, but rather to its development or reviewing process. Such notes may involve things of different importance levels, ranging from simple fix the spelling flags to critical this paragraph is a lie mentions. Annotations like this should be visible during the development or reviewing phase, but should normally disapear in the final version of the document. FiXme is designed to ease and automate the process of managing collaborative annotations, by offering a set of predefined note levels and layouts, the possibility to register multiple note authors, to reference annotations by listing and indexing etc. FiXme is extensible, giving you the possibility to create new layouts or even complete themes, and also comes with support for AUC-TeX.

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: DoX Version number: 2.0 Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ Summary description: Extensions to the doc package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is DoX version 2.0 -- Extensions to the doc package What's new in version 2.0: ================ ** Optional argument to doxitem idxtype option to change the item's index type ** Optional argument to Describe<Item> and the <Item> environment noprint option to avoid marginal printing noindex option to avoid item indexing ** Extend DescribeMacro, DescribeEnv and their corresponding environments with the same features Description: ======= The doc package provides LaTeX developers with means to describe the usage and the definition of new commands and environments. However, there is no simple way to extend this functionality to other items (options or counters for instance). DoX is designed to circumvent this limitation, and provides some improvements over the existing functionality as well.
