tug.ctan.org offline
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

I am offline, pending an improvement of conditions. This includes tug.ctan.org, www.ctan.org, and az.ctan.org on the interfaces http, ftp, and rsync. In case I do not come back, I would like to thank the people that I have enjoyed working with over the years. I would also like to thank the TeX Users Group, including the board and particularly including Karl, for their sponsorship. And, I would be remiss if I didn't again acknowledge the support provided by Saint Michael's College to me, and to the entire TeX community, in bearing the Internet traffic. Jim Hefferon

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: bytefield Version number: 2.0 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/bytefield/ Summary description: Draw network-protocol specifications and other bit-field representations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The bytefield package helps the user create illustrations for network protocol specifications and anything else that utilizes fields of data.

The package now uses a key=value interface to specify formatting parameters either globally or local to an individual diagram; rows are now grouped using a more LaTeX-like syntax; and there are more opportunities for customizing the appearance of a diagram. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/bytefield/ .

Description: Pst-circ is a package built using PSTricks and in particular pst-node. It can easily draw current 2-terminal devices and some 3- and 4-terminal devices used in electronic or electric theory.

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: sty2dtx Version number: v1.0 Author's name: Martin Scharrer Location on CTAN: /support/sty2dtx Summary description: Perl script to add a .sty to a .dtx file (code section only) License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Converts a .sty file (LaTeX package) to .dtx format (documented LaTeX source), by surrounding macro definitions with 'macro' and 'macrocode' environments. The macro name is automatically inserted as an argument to the 'macro' environemnt. Code lines outside macro definitions are wrapped only in 'macrocode' environments. Empty lines are removed. The script is not thought to be fool proof and 100% accurate but rather as a good start to convert undocumented style file to .dtx files. It does not generate a complete .dtx file, just the code section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/sty2dtx .

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College Update summary: The new version adds support for optional arguments, and for having several arguments. e.g., one can put verbatim both in a section title, and in the short title for the toc: cprotectsection[Some verb+^&*+]{Longer verb+$%^&*+} Nesting is also supported. Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/cprotect Author: Bruno Le Floch License: lppl1.3 Caption: Allow verbatim, etc., in macro arguments. Description: The package defines the macro 'cprotect' that makes a following macro proof against verbatim in its argument; as, for example, 'cprotectsection{verbfoo}' A similar macro 'cprotEnv' (applied to the 'egin' of an environment) sanitises the behavior of fragile environments. Moving arguments, and corresponding tables of … work happily. * The new version supports macros with optional arguments, or with several arguments. These have to be declared, as in cprotect[om]sqrt[verb+%1+]{ verb+%3+ }. *Nesting is supported: cprotectsection{$cprotect[mm]frac{verb+%1+}{verb+%2+}$}. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/cprotect (this may take a day to sync).
