CTAN update: Hepunits
by CTAN Announcements 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

Andy Buckley submitted an update to the Hepunits package. Version number: 2.0.0 License type: lppl Summary description: A set of units useful in high energy physics applications Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a major update (in concept if not actually large code volume) to finally use siunitx rather than SIunits as the basis for hepunits -- back in 2007, siunitx and LaTeX3 support were rather flaky, so the update never happened at the natural time. This update does change the behaviour: better names for some units, removal of some pointless units, making the units non-freestanding by default, and excluding non-essential convenience prefixed macros for SI units unless requsted via a package option. Kerning of the eV, eV/c and eV/c^2 macros has been refined to perform appropriately in bold and non-bold contexts, and the documentation improved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hepunits More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hepunits ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Donald P. Story submitted the endnotes-hy package. Version number: 2020-04-08 License type: lppl1.2 Summary description: Patches the endnotes package to create hypertext links to the correct anchors Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a short package to support the creation of hypertext links in support of the endnotes package. The package modifies the syntax of the endnote command: endnote*[<num>]{<text>}label{<name>}. When the *-option is used, no endnote mark is created, but the endnote itself is written. The label command appears at the end of the endnote and its arguments, rather than within the argument of the <text> argument. dps ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/endnotes-hy More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/endnotes-hy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN Update: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version: 5.1 2020-04-08 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document 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. hyperxmp can embed a wide variety of metadata as XMP, including the list of authors, document title, contact information (telephone number, postal address, email address, etc.), copyright statement, keywords, natural language, and much more. hyperxmp is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 5.1 is a bug-fix release. Thanks to Robert Schlicht, Robin Schwab, and Ulrike Fischer for their respective bug reports. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
