John H. Lienhard submitted an update to the asmejour package. Version: 1.27 2025-11-30 License: mit Summary description: A template for ASME journal papers Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The asmejour class is a template to format preprints in the style of journal papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This update, when run with LuaLaTeX, meets the UA-2, A-4F, and WTPDF-1 accessibility standards. A CSS style file has been added to improve rendering in HTML (e.g., at https://ngpdf.com). For accessibility, the most recent version of LaTeX is needed (2025/11/01 or later). In addition, minor bugs have been fixed and the code has been updated in several places. The class no longer loads the subcaption and hologo packages, and the caption and footmisc packages are loaded only as fallbacks for older distributions. The minimum recommended platform for asmeconf.cls is TeX Live 2022. Further details are in the README file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/asmejour More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/asmejour -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
