CTAN update: tkz-tab
by CTAN Announcements 21 Oct '26

21 Oct '26

Alain Matthes submitted an update to the tkz-tab package. Version: 2.13c 2026-10-19 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Tables of signs and variations using PGF/TikZ Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## [2.13] — 2026/10/05 ### Changed - Keys use `pgfkeys` instead of `xkeyval`: same names, same default values, defaults reset at each call as before (`\tkzTabSetup` included). - `\tkzTabVar`: the 31 symbols are keys `/tkztab/var/<symbol>` (the long cascade of `\ifthenelse` is removed); a new symbol can be added with `\pgfkeys{/tkztab/var/<symbol>/.code={...}}`. - `\tkzTabLine`: the symbols `z`, `t`, `d`, `h` are keys `/tkztab/line/odd/<s>` and `/tkztab/line/even/<s>`. - Useless `\makeatletter`/`\makeatother` removed (`\tkzTabLine`, `\tkzDrawArrow`). - `xkeyval` is no longer loaded: a document that used it without loading it must now load it. ### Fixed - Option `help` of `\tkzTabInit`, `\tkzTabLine` and `\tkzTabVar`: the labels of the nodes failed (`Undefined control sequence`) with the TikZ library `babel` when the picture is inside an environment that reads its content again, such as `tkzexample`. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tkz/tkz-tab More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/tkz-tab -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: refenums
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '26

20 Oct '26

Oliver Kopp submitted an update to the refenums package. Version: 2.0.0 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Define named items and provide back-references with that name Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Completely reworked package, so that usage is possible with less and shorter commands. ### Added - `\setupRefEnum` sets up an enum with key-value options (`separator`, `enclosing`, `combined`). - `\setupRefEnum` accepts `titleformat` to format the title of each element. - `\setupRefEnum` accepts `plural` for the plural of the print name. - `\refEnumFullColon` is the new name of `\refEnumFullT`; the old name still works. - `\refEnum*`, `\refEnumFull*`, and `\refEnumFullColon*` prefix the print name, e.g., "Requirement Req-1 ("Detect concurrent modification")". - `\refEnumTitle` prints the title of an element. - `\setupRefEnum` defines shorthands: `\def<EnumId>` for `\defRefEnum{<EnumId>}`, `\def<EnumId>Inline` for `\defRefEnumInline{<EnumId>}`, and `\ref<EnumId>`, `\ref<EnumId>Full`, `\ref<EnumId>FullColon`, `\ref<EnumId>Title` for the corresponding `\refEnum…{<EnumId>}`. Documents defining such commands themselves need the package option `shorthands=false`. - The full LPPL license text is now included as `LICENSE`. - `\setupRefEnums` accepts a second optional argument naming the command each element is wrapped in (e.g., `subsection`). The optional argument of `\defRefEnum` still overrides it per element. ### Changed - `\ref` prints the identifier, e.g., `Req-1` instead of `1`. - Titles of elements are set in italics, unless the elements are wrapped in another command, e.g., `subsection`. Use `titleformat={}` for the former upright titles. - `refenums-demo.pdf` shows the LaTeX code of each example next to its output. - `refenums-demo.tex` demonstrates the package with requirements and a decision record (MADR style) modeled on JabRef. - `demo.tex` was renamed to `refenums-demo.tex`, so that `texdoc refenums-demo` finds it, and is typeset with LuaLaTeX. - refenums references with zref-clever instead of cleveref; `\zcref` prints the print name and the identifier, e.g., "Risk R1" or "Risks R1 and R2". `\cref` prints the identifier, like `\refEnum`, if cleveref is loaded before `\setupRefEnum`. - refenums requires LaTeX 2023-06-01 and zref-clever 0.4.0 or later. ### Removed - `README` was removed; `README.md` is the only readme. - `README.pdf` is no longer in the CTAN archive; CTAN renders `README.md`. - `test/demo-sec-param.tex` was removed; `refenums-demo.tex` covers the same case. ### Fixed - The README named the inline command `\defineReferenceableEnumElementInline` instead of `\defRefEnumInline`. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/refenums More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/refenums -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
