Name of contribution: xypdf

Author's name: Daniel Müllner

Summary description: PDF output for the Xy-pic package
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The xypdf package improves the output quality of the Xy-pic
package when PDF documents are generated. It produces
generic PDF code for graphical elements like lines, curves
and circles instead of approximating these elements with
glyphs in special fonts as the original Xy-pic package does.
The xypdf package works both with pdfLaTeX and the two-step
compilation LaTeX → dvipdfm(x).

Name of contribution: standalone
Version number: v0.3
Author's name: Martin Scharrer
Summary description: Update to v0.3: Automatic sub-preamble inclusion inside the
main preamble
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update brings some exciting new options for the
'standalone' package. Using these options the preamble code
of the sub-files can not only be skipped but extracted into
an auxiliary file (.sta) which is then loaded by the main
document during the next LaTeX run.
The body content of the sub-files is skipped during the
first run to avoid compile errors.
To avoid option clashes of loaded packages all package
option can be extracted first and predefined using
'PassOptionsToPackage'.
Alternatively the sub-preambles can be simply printed
(without special macros added by 'standalone') into a
different auxiliary file (.stp) for easy manual copy&paste
into the main document. If requested a list of required
packages and pgf, tikz and tikz-timing libraries can be
printed avoiding duplicates.
New macros:
onlyifstandalone{<code>} Used to hide code from the
sub-preamble code extractor.
standaloneignore Can be used to ignore code before the
'documentclass' of sub-files.
