Javier A. Múgica submitted the Tcode package. Version: 2026-10-07 License: pd Summary description: Typesetting verbatim code: C, python,… Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a package for typesetting code (e.g., C, python, julia... ). It may be an alternative to the listings package. It is MUCH faster, specially when hundreds of words are defined. It has been tested on plain pdftex, luatex, and pdflatex. It was developed to replace listings for typesetting C code in one particular project. As a result, the support for C has been thoroughly developed: Proper recognition of C numbers, automatic detection of #define'd words, etc. It comes with support for python and julia, much less developed but still fully functional. In python, it recognizes the {} delimited format in f-prefixed strings. The package has a modular design, with a kernel on top of which the support for languages can be programmed. Thus, for example, there is nothing specific in the kernel to recognize {} formats within strings or words following #define. Similar features can be programmed for any language. Support for other languages is welcome. There is an example of a small language file for a faked language: Tcode_example.tex, that can serve as template for other languages. The support for julia, in Tcode_julia,tex, is also small enough that it can serve as template. A fast, user-oriented documentation is present in Tcode_users.html. A thorough documentation of the package can be found in Tcode_developers.html. The package includes a util, pdfcolor-rg.tex, that syntax highlighting files take advantage of, than can be used independently of Tcode. It defines the \color macro and \DefColor and \DefGray macros. It is only suitable for pdf backend, rgb and gray models. Small, easy to understand and debug, and fast. This package will not become part of TeX Live because of problems with filename conventions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tcode The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/tcode/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: Lucid CV

Patrik Goldschmidt submitted the Lucid CV package. Version: 1.0.0 License: lppl1.3c ofl mit Summary description: ATS-safe customizable LuaLaTeX template for modern resumes/CVs Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, CTAN community, There is no shortage of résumé templates. Some call themselves ATS-friendly, many don't bother, and few check. Yet a single job posting can draw hundreds of applications, and automated parsers decide what a human sees ﬁrst. A résumé that looks good but is read back as a set of fused words, stray icon characters, or orphaned dates may never be noticed. Lucid CV (lucidcv) is a LuaLaTeX class that treats machine readability as a tested property rather than an assumption. Its design is inspired by PlushCV (https://github.com/cystema/PlushCV), with a replaced custom backend developed based on a Python test harness that builds the PDF and reads it back with several extraction engines. The harness checks that: - word gaps are real space characters, - icons extract as nothing, - every phrase comes back intact and in document order, - the PDF is the PDF/A-2b it claims to be. The class was developed against these tests, and each extractor failure that appeared along the way was ﬁxed in the class. It supports single- and two-column layouts, a compact mode, and colors, fonts and spacing that can be customized directly in a document without touching the class and breaking machine parsing. CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/lucidcv Source, tests and examples: https://github.com/xGoldy/lucidcv Feedback, bug reports and unexpected failing PDF parsers are warmly welcome.

Version: 7.12 2026-10-07 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Improve the typesetting of matrices and tabulars with PGF Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New key 'color-of-false' for the color of the "false rows" created by \FalseRow and the "false columns" created by the letter F. New key 'empty' for the command \Block.
