CTAN Update: morehype
by CTAN Announcements 06 Jan '13

06 Jan '13

Uwe Lück submitted an update to the morehype package. Summary description: Tools for hyperref and HTML License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- morehype r0.81 as of 2013/01/04: TEXLINKS v0.81: `texlinks' v0.81 changes some defaults and offers new choices for CTAN package description pages. The documentation also gives a little overview of what the different interfaces offer. `texlinks' v0.81 also generates links to Google search pages and Google maps (think of TeX user meetings), moreover to question pages on tex.stackexchange.com and on stackoverflow.com, and finally to the Wikibook on TeX. These macros generate the full URLs from minimal identifiers (and memorizable macro names) in the site-specific way. The documentation contains several new examples. BLOG v0.81: * egin{enumtype}{<1/a/A/i/I>} resembling the `enumerate' package becomes official. * HTML entities added: soft hyphen (-), ...caron; (v), ...lig; (AE etc.) * Documentation of `markblog' in `blog.pdf' mentions alternative implementations of simplified/non-TeX markup (especially `interpreter'). BLOGEXEC v0.21: * The {noblog} environment becomes official. It generates no HTML code at all, as opposed to `blog''s {commentlines} that generates an HTML comment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/morehype .

CTAN Update: IEEEtrantools
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Michael Shell submitted an update to the ieeetrantools package. Summary description: The IEEEtrantools.sty package provides several commands from the IEEEtran.cls file so that they can be used under other LaTeX classes. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce the release of the v1.3 update to the IEEEtrantools LaTeX package. IEEEtrantools.sty provides several commands from IEEEtran.cls, including IEEEPARstart and the IEEEeqnarray family so that they may be used under other class files. Version 1.3 is based on version 1.8 of IEEEtran.cls. Notable changes include: 1) No longer redefines the standard LaTeX itemize, enumerate and description (IED) lists by default. (e.g., the older package option retainorgcmds is now the default behavior.) A new package option, redeflists, can be invoked to redefine the standard IED list environments to their IEEE versions. IEEEitemize, IEEEenumerate and IEEEdescription remain available in any case. The redeflists option may not be compatible with other packages that alter the standard IED list environments. 2) Added new *-forms of IEEEyesnumber*, IEEEnonumber*, IEEEyessubnumber*, and IEEEnosubnumber* (the non-star form of the latter is also new) which persist across IEEEeqnarray lines until countermanded. To provide for continued subequations across instances of IEEEeqnarrays as well as for subequations that follow a main equation (e.g., 14, 14a, 14b ...) IEEEyessubnumber no longer automatically increments the equation number on it's first invocation of a subequation group. Invoke both IEEEyesnumberIEEEyessubnumber together to start a new equation/subequation group. 3) Hyperref links now work with IEEEeqnarray equations. Thanks to Stefan M. Moser for reporting this problem. 4) Now provides the IEEEproof environment, as well as the IEEEQEDhere, IEEEQEDhereeqn and IEEEQEDoff commands. Also, IEEEproofindentspace allows users to change the IEEEproof indentation via enewcommand. Thanks to Mark D. Butala, Hennadiy Leontyev and Stefan M. Moser for suggesting this. Special thanks to Stefan M. Moser for beta testing and additional suggestions which improved IEEEproof. See the changelog.txt file for full details. Enjoy!

CTAN Update: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2d [2013/01/02] * an incompatibility with amsmath (its macro esetMathstrut@), exists since version 1.2 of the package. This is fixed here. * various improvements in dealing with the asterisk and in the mechanism of letting non-letter symbols obey the math alphabet commands. * documentation extended and improved. * mathastext now inserts automatically after all (latin) letters in math mode their italic corrections, if the font used is upright (sic). This improves the spacings for the positioning of subscripts. The feature is de-activated inside the math alphabets commands (apart from mathnormal), so as to not prohibit the formation of ligatures, * the documentation has been extended to explain in detail the issues which are relevant to the new feature of added italic corrections, * version 1.2 had some bad bugs when confronted to active characters. This is corrected and additionally MTnonletters- -donotobeymathxx is made the default, as the user input is too much constrained in its absence. * a less fatal, but still annoying, typo had made the dot in 1.2 of type mathpunct rather than mathord * the inner namespace has been rationalized a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/ .
