CTAN Update: texdef
by CTAN Announcements 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

On Sun, 29 Apr 2012 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the texdef package. License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update adds the experimental --source option which will try to display the original source code used for the macro definition. For this the (first) package/file which defines this macro is searched and scanned for the definition. This option will work for normal definitions but break for special ones like for verbatim macros etc. This update fixes two issues which made this script run in an endless loop under MS Windows. It has been now successfully tested under MS Windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/texdef . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/texdef (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 .
