CTAN Update: Philosophersimprint
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

On Sat, 2 Jun 2012 Boris Veytsman submitted an update to the philosophersimprint package. Summary description: LaTeX Class for Philosophers' Imprint journal License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As said in its mission statement at http://www.philosophersimprint.org, ``Philosophers' Imprint is a refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by philosophy faculty at the University of Michigan, with the advice of an international Board of Editors, and published on the World Wide Web by the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for free, via the Internet.'' The journal used to accept manuscripts in Rich Text Format only. However, for many authors, especially from the field of logic, TeX seems to be a better choice. I was commissioned to write a LaTeX class for this journal. The aim of the class is to help authors to typeset their own articles in the ``Web-ready'' format. We do not assume the authors have any commercial fonts installed on their machines. The class uses only freely available and freely distributed fonts. Changes in version 1.1 - New formatting of journal URL - Better handling of footnotes - Use for microtype if exists Changes in version 1.2 - Added trailing slash to the title page URL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/philosophersimprint . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/philosophersimprint (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).
