New CTAN Package: monofill
by CTAN Announcements 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

On Mon, 19 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the monofill package. Summary description: Alignment with plain text or monospaced characters License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `monofill.sty' addresses horizontal alignment with plain text as in the result of LaTeX's listfiles, extending the longnamefilelist package for ideas by Martin Muench. It may also be useful for alignment in typesetting monospaced characters as in figure tables, for simulating a typewriter, or for code listings. The implementation also has philosophical aspects, avoiding use of a counter register. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/monofill . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/monofill (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 .

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 . 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 .
