CTAN update: BibArts
by CTAN Announcements 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Timo Baumann submitted an update to the BibArts package. Version number: 2.1 License type: gpl Summary description: Arts-style bibliographical information Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from BibArts version 2.0 (2015) to version 2.1: You now may choose your own order of page and footnote numbers in the index (roman--arabic, arabic--roman, etc.). Type bibsort -s2 xxxx for page and ... -f2 xxxx for footnote numbers. xxxx are permutations of four letters out of nRrAas (a=alph, A=Alph, n=arabic, R=Roman, r=roman, s=fnsymbol): You always have to set n and s, and to choose R *or* A, and r *or* a. E.g. srnR means, that you can use Roman in your text, but you do not have to. bibsort is able to evaluate the new fnsymbols (which expand to TextOrMath). If bibsort should write into files with a different prefix as the .aux input file, you have to use -o <outfile> now. And you may type bibsort <infile>, *or* bibsort -i <infile> (e.g., when the input file name begins with '-'). bibarts.sty will be even loaded, when ~:;!?'`<> are active (catcode 13); and bibsort is sorting also z (not only s) as ss now; see bibarts.pdf. bibsort sorts the 'official' $Greek variables$ since version 2.0. To write single words in Old Greek, BibArts 2.1 also provides Alpha [A], Beta [B], Epsilon [E], eta [Z], Eta [H=sort=>E], Iota [I], Kappa [K], Mu [M], Nu [N], Rho [P==>R], Tau [T], Chi [X==>Ch], Omicron [O], omicron [o]. BibArts 2.0 set footnotesep to 2ex, whereas 2.1 does *not* change the pre-setted value. If you want to continue with the 2.0 distance between two footnotes, you will have to type setlength{footnotesep}{2ex} in your text. Some of the prepared text elements (captions) have been modernized. The evkctitlename changed from {Short Titles} to {Shortened References}. And gannouncektitname changed to '... im Folgenden'. To restore the 2.0 def.: enewcommand{gannouncektitname}{ (kern 0.015em im folgenden aupcorr} Published under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

CTAN update: xint
by CTAN Announcements 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.2g 2016-03-19 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- List selectors [L][n], [L][a:b], in expressions are faster. And items are counted starting at zero, not one ([L][a:b] already followed exactly Python slicing rules). The iter keyword's meaning has changed, new one associated with rseq, former one which is associated to rrseq renamed to iterr. The float operations with large precision handle small inputs faster. The documentation has an example of using iter to implement expandably the Brent-Salamin algorithm for digits of Pi.

New on CTAN: prooftrees

Clea F. Rees submitted the prooftrees package. Version number: 0.3 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Forest-based proof trees (symbolic logic) Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prooftrees supports drawing proof trees of the kind often used in introductory logic classes, especially those aimed at students without strong mathemtical backgrounds. Hodges (1991) is one example of a text which uses this system. When teaching such a system it is especially useful to annotate the tree with line numbers, justifications and explanations of branch closures. prooftrees provides a single environment, prooftree, and a variety of tools for annotating, customising and highlighting such trees. A cross-referencing system is provided for trees which cite line numbers in justifications for proof lines or branch closures. prooftrees is based on Forest and, hence, TikZ. The package requires version 2.0.2 of Forest for expected results and will not work with version 1. The author is certain that some of her beliefs are false, but sure that her belief that prooftrees has bugs is not among them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/prooftrees More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/prooftrees We are supported by the TeX user groups.

Richard Gay submitted the keyvaltable package. Version number: 0.1 2016-03-13 License type: lppl1.2 Summary description: Re-usable tables separating content and presentation Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The main goal of the keyvaltable package is to offer means for typesetting tables easily and yet still looking rather nicely in a way that separates content from presentation and with re-usable layout for tables of the same type. For this purpose, the package provides the environment KeyValTable, which allows one to typeset tables that have a previously defined column layout and whose rows can be produced in a key-value fashion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/keyvaltable More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/keyvaltable We are supported by the TeX User Groups.
