CTAN update: historische-zeitschrift
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... Update summary: version 0.9a - Compatibility to biblatex 0.9e. - New option 'postnote'. This option can take the values 'inparen' and 'afterparen', where 'inparen' puts the postnote in subsequent citations inside the parenthesis holding the 'see note N' phrase. The default is 'afterparen' (thus, the default behaviour has changed, because the HZ style requires it. The style description was wrong at this point, and I did not check properly in the printed journal. Therefore, the biblatex style 'historische-zeitschrift' was wrong in this particular point. For compatibility reasons, and because it might be useful, I turned the wrong behaviour into the option 'postnote=inparen'). - @reference and @inreference are now supported (as an alias for @collection and @incollection, respectively, as they do not require special treatment). Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/historische-zeitschrift Caption: Biblatex style for the journal 'Historische Zeitschrift' Description: The package provides citations according with the house style of the ‘Historische Zeitschrift’, a German historical journal. The scheme is a fullcite for the first citation and ‘Author, Shorttitle (as note N, P)’ for later citations (P being the page number). For further details, see the description of the house style at the journal's site. The package depends on biblatex (version 0.9e or higher). Author: Dominik Waßenhoven License: lppl Name: historische-zeitschrift Version: 0.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/historische-zeitschrift (this link may take a day to sync).

On Fri, 15 Oct 2010 Salome Södergran submitted the new package koma-moderncvclassic to CTAN. Summary description: Makes the style and command of moderncv (style classic) available for koma-classes and thus compatible with biblatex. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides an imitation of the moderncv-class with the classic style (by Xavier Danaux), to be used in conjunction with the koma-classes. Thus it is possible to configure pagelayout, headings etc. the way it is done in koma-classes. Moreover, it is possible to use biblatex, while the original moderncv-class is incompatible with biblatex. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/koma-moderncvclassic . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=koma-moderncvclassic (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).
