CTAN Update: sty2dtx
by CTAN Announcements 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

On Wed, 2 Feb 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the sty2dtx package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changelog: * Better handling of code comments: - Comments direct before a macro or environment definition are now placed inside the corresponding description environment before `egin{macrocode}`. - Separate comment lines stay as they are and will be normal text in the .DTX file. - Commented text inside definitions will cause the `macrocode` environment to be interrupted and reopened afterwards. - Code lines which are commented out (i.e. are indented and there is no space after the '%' sign) will stay as part of the macro code. * Added '-c' (generate code section only) option. This resembles the output of v1.0 and is useful to insert more code into exisiting .DTX files. * Config files can now include comment lines as well. These lines must start with '%' or '#'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/sty2dtx .
