CTAN Update: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

On Thu, 13 Sep 2012 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. Version 2.0 of hyperxmp represents a substantial effort by Heiko Oberdiek to make the package Unicode-compatible. In addition, more metadata are included in the XMP packet; elements containing commas can now be included in the author and keyword lists (albeit awkwardly); and a workaround for Adobe Acrobat's confusion between PDF and XMP author lists is now available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp .

New on CTAN: fnumprint
by CTAN Announcements 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

On Wed, 12 Sep 2012 Robin Schneider submitted the fnumprint package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/fnumprint Summary description: Can decide to typeset a number either as number or as word name License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The fnumprint package defines two macros which decide to typeset a number either as Arabic number or as word name for the number. If the number is between zero and twelve (including zero and twelve) then the word name will be used. This package uses the zahl2string package to convert a number in the word name in German. The conversion of a number (0–12) to the English word name is implemented by this package. If the number is outside of the range then it will be typesetted with the numprint package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fnumprint . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fnumprint (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: lintex
by CTAN Announcements 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

On Wed, 12 Sep 2012 Ryan Kavanagh submitted an update to the lintex package. Summary description: Tidy up after a TeX run License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lintex is a utility to remove files generated by a TeX run only if they are newer than the source. This version introduces the following changes since the previous CTAN version: * a configuration file to specify the extensions to keep and remove. This is in contrast to previous versions where extensions handled were hardcoded in lintex's source, and where the addition of any extension required a new release; * an option to keep final documents (e.g. files ending in .pdf, .dvi, .ps), while removing auxiliary files (e.g. files ending in .aux, .log, etc.); * a list of extensions removed by default in the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/lintex . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/lintex (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 .
