CTAN update: skeyval
by CTAN Announcements 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

the daemon creeps forth, and pronounces: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: skeyval > Author's name: Ahmed Musa > Package version: 1.0 > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/skeyval > Summary description: Key-value support combining the features of xkeyval and pgfkeys > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This new version of skeyval package is a significant departure from > previous versions. It aims to integrate the features of xkeyval and > pgfkeys packages by introducing a new type of handlers. The skeyval > package puts handlers at the beginning of the key, unlike in > pgfkeys. Style keys, links, changing key callbacks and values on the > fly, and other features of pgfkeys are introduced in a new context. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/skeyval.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/skeyval/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v2.3a: - Bugfix: problem with boxes around tooltips [jk] spurious backslash in /Ff/65536space% in line 2967, see: https://bitbucket.org/kleberj/pdfcomment/issue/8/pdftooltip-tooltip-area-is… http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34698/strange-appearance-of-tooltips… reported by: diabonas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfcomment (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
