Steven B. Segletes submitted the numberedblock package. Summary description: Routines intended to print out a block of code with a unique, sequentially indexed label. License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The style file numberedblock has been created for the report writer's convenience. Do you need to include various small inline blocks of code in your documents? It can be a pain to refer to them if they are not labeled. This style package allows you to include and sequentially label code-block snippets in your document, so that they can be subsequently refered to in an unambiguous fashion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/numberedblock . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/numberedblock (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 .

Xuan Hu submitted an update to the resumecls package. Summary description: type resume both in Chinese and English License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This new version is celebrating for resumecls being included in CTAN. I divide old all-in-one package into resumecls (https://github.com/huxuan/resumecls/) and resumecls-example (https://github.com/huxuan/resumecls-example/) with resumecls-example also added as a submodule in resumecls package. If you only want to use it without package development, you can just fork the resumecls-example repo. Modify according to the tex and bib file (if needed) then compile! You do make it! Besides, this version also fix some minor bug most for documents, such as fileversion and filedate for generating documents, usedir in ins file and also changes in Makefile according to the package reconstruction. Finally, there do need more work for documents. I will focus on it in following times. However, you are welcome to contribute it via github. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/xetex/latex/resumecls .
