Uwe Lück submitted an update to the dowith package. Summary description: Iterate stuff on argument list in TeX's gullet (no separators) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * new `domore.sty' enhances `dowith.sty', allowing iterated application of multi-parameter macros and inserting separator material. * `dowith.sty' documentation correction: according to Knuth, this is TeX's gullet, while some authors have called it TeX's mouth, see quotations in section 1.4 of `dowith.pdf'. * `dowith.sty' (v0.3) generic now by `plainpkg' (instead of imitating `german.sty'). * `dowith.sty' documentation `dowith.pdf' furthermore reworked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/dowith . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dowith (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 .

New on CTAN: etoc
by CTAN Announcements 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted the etoc package to CTAN. Summary description: easily customizable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The etoc package gives the user complete control on how the entries of the table of contents should be constituted from the name, number, and page number of each sectioning unit. This goes via the definition of line styles for each sectioning level used in the document. The package provides its own custom line styles as an example, next to the standard formatting inherited from the LaTeX document classes. But the idea is to give the means to the user to delegate the details to packages dealing with list making environments (such as enumitem). Regarding the global style, etoc typesets by default tables of contents in a multi-column format, with either a standard heading, or a ruled title, optionally with a frame around the table of contents. The ableofcontents command can be used arbitrarily many times in the same document, and comes with a starred variant which gives local table of contents. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etoc . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/etoc (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 .
