New CTAN package: bitelist
by CTAN Announcements 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

On Thu, 29 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the bitelist package. Summary description: split list at list inside in TeX's mouth License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `bitelist.sty' provides commands for splitting a token list at the first occurrence of a contained token list. I.e., for given token lists s, t return b and shortest a, such that t = a s b. As opposed to other packages providing similar features, (i) the method uses TeX's mechanism of reading delimited macro parameters; (ii) the splitting macros work by pure expansion, without assignments, provided the macro doing the search has been defined before processing (e.g., a file); (iii) instead of using one macro for a substring test and another one to replace the substring--which includes extracting corresponding prefix and suffix--, the *same* macro that detects the occurrence returns the split; (iv) e-TeX is not required. (And LaTeX is not required.) This improves `fifinddo.sty' (v0.51). An elaborated approach (additionally to a simpler one) is provided that does not loose outer braces of prefix/suffix. Substring detection and string replacement are (implicitly) included with respect to certain representations of characters by tokens. Counting occurrences and global replacement could be achieved by applying the operation to earlier results, etc.--so this approach seems to be fundamental for a certain larger set of list analysis tasks. The documentation aims to prove the correctness of the methods with mathematical rigour. KEYWORDs: macro programming, text filtering, substrings RELATED PACKAGEs: datatool, stringstrings, ted, texapi, xstring ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/bitelist .

New CTAN Package: nicefilelist
by CTAN Announcements 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

On Fri, 23 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the nicefilelist package. Summary description: listfiles alignment for connoisseurs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While `longnamefilelist.sty' improves LaTeX's listfiles with respect to long base filenames only, the present `nicefilelist.sty' 'nicefilelist.sty' can keep separate columns for (i) date (ii) version, and (iii) caption (don't write caption text in date column), their alignment not being disturbed by short filename extensions such as `.fd'. This is achieved basing on the `monofill' package. Thus `nicefilelist' is more powerful than `longnamefilelist', the former however is an extension of the latter neither with respect to implementation nor with respect to user interface. See documentatin for details. The shortcomings of `longnamefilelist' were pointed out by Martin Muench. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicefilelist .

On Thu, 22 Mar 2012 Boris Veytsman submitted an update to the issuulinks package. Summary description: Produce External Links Instead of Internal Ones License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PDF visualizer ISSUU (http://issuu.com) is a popular service allowing to show PDF documents ``one page a time''. Due to the way it is implemented, internal links in these documents are not allowed. Instead, they must be converted to external ones in the form http://issuu.com/action/page?page=PAGENUMBER. This package patches hyperref to produce external links in the required form instead of internal links created by ef, cite and other commands. Since the package redefines the internals of hyperref, you need to call it AFTER hyperref.

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

On Tue, 13 Mar 2012 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 v2.3: - reimplemented pdfmarkupcomment by using soulpos.sty much better support of non standard text cases, like: wocolumn: feature request by: René Schwarz, Thomas Feller, Til Birnstiel setspace.sty: feature request by: Andrew Dawson enumerate, itemize, ... - added support for twocolumn mode in pdfsidelinecomment - added option local to pdfcommentsetup feature request by: Florent Chervet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

Summary description: The book Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX was published by the BHV-Petersburg (Russia) publishing house in 2008 under ISBN 978-5-9775-0230-6. Under the contract with the publishing house, I have now regained exclusive rights to the content and decided to publish it under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA 3.0). License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The book Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX was published by the BHV-Petersburg (Russia) publishing house in 2008 under ISBN 978-5-9775-0230-6. Under the contract with the publishing house, I have now regained exclusive rights to the content and decided to publish it under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA 3.0). Please contact me (E.M.Baldin(a)inp.nsk.su) if you require a different type of copyright license for your purposes. This book is a guide to using the LaTeX document preparation system. It describes the complete fundamentals of the typesetting and layout processes and covers at least 1300 LaTeX commands and about 750 packages, styles, and classes that can be used in the typesetting of any documents. It also deals with creating presentations, table layouts, inserting graphics, bibliography and index, and many other tasks. Specific examples demonstrate that publishing systems using LaTeX can handle projects of any scope and complexity. A major part of the book is devoted to the typesetting of mathematical text, which is the key differentiator of LaTeX compared to other word processors. The book was written completely and exclusively by means of LaTeX tools. As the author of both the content and the typesetting, I will greatly appreciate any comments and useful advice on improving the quality of the electronic version of the book. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/info/russian/computer-typesetting-using-latex .
