break in service at cam.ctan.org
by CTAN Announcements 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

the archive was down for a couple of hours this morning. we had a scheduled break of service (to replace our main power feed), but the work took approximately twice as long as estimated. our server room (where the ctan machine lives) has a beefy ups, but it wasn't beefy enough for a >4-hour outage. i regret the failure of service, but i am quite unable to control the university's estate management service, whose record of successful operation is (in my experience) rather feeble.

On Sat, 7 Jan 2012 Jaap Eldering submitted the check-parens package. Summary description: Simple program to check LaTeX code for matching parentheses, etc. License type: gpl Announcement text: Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- check-parens is a simple program written in C++ to check LaTeX code for matching parentheses, etc. I wrote it because I got annoyed trying to find difficult to trace mismatched braces. It reports any errors/warnings with precise compiler-like line:pos numbers to ease finding LaTeX compilation problems as well as mismatches of parentheses in mathematical formulas. It also checks matching delimiter sizes (i.e. left, ig etc.). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/check-parens .
