Author's name: Thomas F. Sturm

Summary description: csv file processing, comma separated values
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
csvsimple provides a simple LaTeX interface for the
processing of files with comma separated values (CSV).
csvsimple relies heavily on the key value syntax from
pgfkeys which results (hopefully) in an easy way of usage.
Filtering and table generation is especially supported.
Since the package is considered as a lightweight tool, there
is no support for data sorting or data base storage.

> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> Lecturer creates slides for on-screen presentations based on PDF
> features without manipulating TeX's typesetting process. The
> presentation flow relies on PDF's abilities to display content step by

>
> Features include:
> - Free positioning of anything anywhere in painted areas on the slide,
> as well as in the main textblock.
> - Numerous attributes to control the layout and the presentation flow,
> from TeX's primitive dimensions to the visibility of steps.
> - Feature inheritance from global to local settings, with intermediate
> types.
> - Basic drawing facilities to produce symbols, e.g. for list items or
> buttons.
> - Colors, transparency, shades, and pictures.
> - Navigation with links, pop-up menus, and customizable bookmarks.
> - Easy switch between presentation and handout.
> - PDF transitions.
>
> Besides the traditional documentation, the distribution includes a
> visual doc (LecturerDemo-VisualDoc.pdf) and six demo presentations
> ranging from geometric abstraction to classic style to silly video
> game.

> Lecturer is designed for all formats except ConTeXt MkIV (because of
> clashes in management of PDF objects, probably), works only with
