CTAN Update: morehype
by CTAN Announcements 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

On Sat, 15 Oct 2011 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the morehype package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `blogdot.sty' extends `blog.sty' in order to construct HTML slides. One slide is a 3x3 HTML table filling the computer screen, the center cell is the type area, the margin cell below it is a link to the next slide, and the lower right-hand cell is a restart link. This is a minimalistic, fast, straightforward approach to beamer presentations of simple text, avoiding TeX's typesetting. Font etc. sizes appropriate for slides are provided in `blogdot.css'. Find details in `blog.pdf'. QUALIFICATION: may be fine on your laptop, difficult online, works with Firefox, Opera, Chrome, rather not with MSIE. More changes of the `morehype' bundle: - `blog.sty' v0.61: - item, endenumerate, enditemize start with </li>, this fixed links near the end of a blogdot presentation (a quite deep .htm) with my Firefox - universal attributes completed - figurespace (Unicode), metavar (doc.sty's meta), acronym, dquo, dagger, ddagger, emptycell - modified setup of HTML environments - documentation fixes - `blog.pdf' includes documentation of `lnavicol.sty' (web pages with left-hand navigation column) - `texlinks.sty' v0.41 provides mirrorctanref, ugctanfileref, mirrorctanfileref, ltxcontrib (see texlinks.pdf pp. 8f.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/morehype . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/morehype (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 .
