CTAN update: luamplib
by CTAN Announcements 13 Apr '24

13 Apr '24

Dohyun Kim submitted an update to the luamplib package. Version: 2.28.0 2024-04-12 License: gpl2 Summary description: Use LuaTeX’s built-in MetaPost interpreter Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * provide a new metapost operator 'mplibgraphictext', which is similar to ConTeXt's 'graphictext'. But the syntax is not the same: mplibgraphictext Text fakebold 2 scale 3 fillcolor red drawcolor blue where 'fakebold' and 'scale' are fontspec's font options. 'fakebold', 'scale', 'drawcolor' and 'fillcolor' are optional and default values are '2', '1', black and white respectively. When color expressions are given as string, they are regarded as xcolor's or l3color's expressions. The operator generates a metapost picture, which can be drawn or assigned to a variable. For compatibilty with 'graphictext', 'withdrawcolor' and 'withfillcolor' are synonyms of 'drawcolor' and 'fillcolor'. Because the implementation is quite different from the ConTeXt's, there are some limitations such that we can't apply shading (gradient colors) to the text. * support metafun's new shading method. Color expressions given as string are regarded as xcolor's or l3color's expressions. Spot colors defined by the color commands of l3color package are also acceptable (currently 'DocumentMetadata{ }' is needed for spot colors). * fix the y-position of text figures, which means the result of 'infont' operator, not of the 'textext' operator. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/luamplib The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luamplib/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Daniel Bosk submitted the didactic package. Version: 1.7 2024-04-08 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Tools for writing teaching material Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version: 1.6 2024-04-07 : This package provides macros and environments useful for writing teaching material. It provides more semantic environments on top of the standard `definition`, `theorem`, and friends: for instance, `exercise`, `activity` and `question`. These are suitably colour-coded when used with Beamer. They occur as normal text in handouts produced by `beamerarticle` (same style as `definition` usually has). It also provides macros for typesetting code listings and output side by side. Finally, it modifies the appearance of `beamer` (Berlin based theme) and `memoir` (Tufte style layout), if loaded. It's designed to be used with `beamer` to produce slides and `beamerarticle` with `memoir` to produce notes and handouts from the same source. Version: 1.7 2024-04-08 : - Fixes typo in README. Thanks Petra@CTAN for spotting it! - Adds `NewNoteType` that also creates switches for turning the note type on or off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/didactic The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/didactic/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
