CTAN Update: etoc
by CTAN Announcements 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the etoc package. Summary description: easily customizable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.06 1. With previous versions, macros such as l@section recovered their standard meanings only in compatibility mode at the time of typesetting TOCs. With this version, it is the opposite: macros such as l@section or l@subsection have throughout the document their standard meanings, which means that they can be customized (even if no package has added to them customizing hooks) and that the compatibility mode of etoc will obey this. 2. The .toc file is now read into memory at the time of usepackage{etoc} and it is opened for write operation at the first TOC typesetting command. Prior, both happened at the egin{document}. 3. The commands added by the package to the .toc file are declared to the external world to do nothing. Hence some other package can also load the .toc file (this must happen before the first typeset TOC) and execute its contents. (related to the point 2 above.) 4. A number of superfluous global's and a few gdef's, which were left-overs from the war against bugs in the developing stages of the code, were removed. 5. The documentation has been updated and improved. An unclear statement about secnumdepth has been corrected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 .

New on CTAN: tableof
by CTAN Announcements 09 Dec '12

09 Dec '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted the tableof package to CTAN. Summary description: tables of tagged contents License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The tableof package allows to tag the table of contents entries. The ableof{comma,separated,list,of,tags} command displays a table of contents containing only the entries having all the listed tags. There is a complementary command ablenotof. They may be used multiple times. One sets tags in the source with commands such as oftagstart{A,B,C,D} and one unsets them with oftagstop{A,D}, and, for a punctual use, one has oftagthis{A,E}, ofuntagthis{C,D}. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tableof .

David Fussner submitted an update to the biblatex-chicago package. Summary description: Biblatex style files for both Chicago specifications License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release includes a new style, authordate-trad, which maintains the plain, 15th-edition treatment of titles while following the 16th-edition specification everywhere else. It updates all styles to work with the latest biblatex (2.4). It contains new localizations for Icelandic and Norwegian, very kindly contributed by Baldur Kristinsson and Håkon Malmedal, respectively. Finally, it simplifies the use of the British option to babel, and fixes several bugs.
