This 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: ydoc Version number: v0.1alpha Author's name: Martin Scharrer Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ydoc Summary description: Documentation Macros for LaTeX packages and classes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 'ydoc' provides macros and environments to document LaTeX packages and classes. It is an (unfinished) alternative to the 'ltxdoc' class and 'doc' or 'xdoc' package. It targets a different layout and tries to provide more modern styles (xcolor, hyperref, etc.). This is an alpha release. It should not be used yet for other packages, because the implementation might change. However, the other packages of the author will use it soon to some extend. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ydoc .
