New CTAN package: apa6e
by CTAN Announcements 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

On Sun, 13 Feb 2011 Nathaniel J. Smith submitted the apa6e package. Summary description: Formats manuscripts according to APA 6th edition guidelines License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a minimalist class file for formatting manuscripts in the style described the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition guidelines. Perhaps someday the more traditional (and capable) apa.cls will gain support for the 6th edition of the APA guidelines, in which case you should probably use it instead. But in the mean time, this class may be useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/apa6e . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=apa6e (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 . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: mylatexformat (v3.4)
by CTAN Announcements 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

the daemon continues on his saturday-night romp: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: mylatexformat (v3.4) > Author's name: Florent CHERVET > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/mylatexformat > Summary description: Make a format from the preamble of any LaTeX file > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Reorganisation of the code and optimization > > you should update, really ! ;-) what, me? (i'm only working on one latex document, atm -- the faq -- which we call latex as a courtesy, so that it doesn't get tetchy.) anyway, thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/mylatexformat.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mylatexformat the delayed announcement means that the catalogue entry is probably up-to-date, by now.
