CTAN Update: dvisvgm
by CTAN Announcements 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

On Thu, 25 Mar 2010 Martin Gieseking submitted an update to the dvisvgm package. Summary description: dvisvgm 0.9 has been released License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts DVI files to SVG. The latest version 0.9 introduces a new command-line option to compute the exact bounding boxes of each glyph instead of relying on the TFM values. This prevents clipped characters at the edges of the SVG graphic. For further information including a list of recent changes and pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project page http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvisvgm . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=dvisvgm (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: nicetext
by CTAN Announcements 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

On Tue, 23 Mar 2010 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the nicetext package. Summary description: `makedoc' + `niceverb' - an alternative documentation system for LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The `nicetext' bundle offers minimal markup syntax for restricted kinds of text: There should not be much more characters typed than printed! -- mainly: quick documentation of (smaller) LaTeX packages -- achieved by active characters and preprocessing similar to `docstrip' (opposite direction however, incl. some txt to TeX). New with release 0.3: * `substr.tex' should typeset LaTeX quality documentation from next available (on your install) substry.sty's ASCII/UTF-8 input (works with me) -- first application of `niceverb''s auto mode and `makedoc.sty' to a third-party package! * `makedoc' simplified: single MakeInputJobDoc[<in>][<out>]{<header>}{<parser>} generates a documentation file from the package file and typesets it immediately (kind of DocInput equivalent) -- see `Using makedoc the simplest way' in `makedoc.pdf' * `|...|' from `niceverb' typesets an inline frame box for setting-off a command description, modifiable by hooks (e.g., colorbox) * `niceverb' syntax works in page headers, PDF bookmarks, and `hyperref' labels and otherwise much better than before, dis-/re-enableable featurewise as well as altogether * documentation extended, lists of script commands * configurable txt to TeX functionality or other replacements like ASCII-arrows to arrow commands or inserting index entries (setting up expandable replacement chains slightly more comfortable) -- try with templates and dialogue * `fifinddo' works with character codes > 127, improved setup * `makedoc' requires the `moreverb' package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ .
