New on CTAN: codemwe
by CTAN Announcements 25 Oct '26

25 Oct '26

Nan Geng submitted the codemwe package. Version: 1.1.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Typeset code with a result box and generate MWE files Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ codemwe typesets example code and its compiled result in one box and, from the same source, writes a minimal independently compilable file for the example. It is written in expl3 on top of tcolorbox, fancyvrb and graphicx, and was developed while writing a package manual, where every example must appear as code, as result, and as a file the reader can compile. Features * example, example* and texcode environments for horizontal, vertical and code-only layout, plus a ccode environment preset for C code. Each example is numbered, labelled and cross-referenceable. * Automatic generation of an MWE .tex file per example, with the document class, the packages and optional extra preamble material placed in the preamble and the body delimited by comment lines. * Code backends: extension, comment character, compilability and minted language name are kept together, so that non-LaTeX code can be shown and saved. LaTeX and C are built in; \codemweNewBackend registers more. * Optional syntax highlighting through minted (“minted” and “mintedstyle” options). minted is detected and loaded when codemwe itself is loaded, so highlighting can be switched on and off anywhere in the body or per environment with no preamble preparation; when minted or -shell-escape is missing, the package falls back to fancyvrb with a single warning. * Six built-in box designs plus \codemweNewBox for user-defined tcolorbox designs; optional titles. * Language varieties for the transition phrases, the structural comment words and the reference prefix, “en” and “zh” built in, \codemweNewLang for further varieties. * Fine control over what is printed in the code box (withcls, withpkg, withextra, nobody, noshow) and over numbering, line numbers, spacing and result figure size. * All options usable as package options, environment options, or with \codemweset in the current scope. Requirements * LaTeX2e 2020-10-01 or later, expl3, tcolorbox (2020-10-09 or later), fancyvrb, graphicx. * For the minted option only: the minted package and a compilation with -shell-escape. The bilingual (Chinese/English) manual, codemwe.pdf, is included. It is typeset with codemwe itself and may serve as a gallery of the package's output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/codemwe The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/codemwe/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Matthias Werner submitted the osglecture package. Version: 2026-10-23 License: lppl1.3c mit artistic gpl1+ Summary description: Lecture materials from one source: slides, script, and tagged PDF Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The osglecture bundle generates lecture materials: several documents from one LaTeX source, in different formats and in several languages. Document classes (ltx-talk or beamer, book or scrbook) are selected through profiles, so the source stays class-independent; the build manager ollm builds single lecture units as well as whole lecture series while maintaining cross-unit references. The bundle also aims at accessible, tagged PDF. Several of its packages may be useful on their own. The bundle requires LuaLaTeX, a current TeX Live, and, if ltx-talk is used, ltx-talk 0.5.3 or later. It is under active development and its interfaces may still change. The bundle currently contains: - osglecture: document class that produces slides, script, handouts, and other materials from a common source - ollm (OSG LaTeX Lecture Maker): latexmk-based build manager for creating and deploying lecture materials - osglecture-modes: portable document modes in the style of beamer/ltx-talk for arbitrary classes - langselect: several language versions of a document from a common source - tagpax: semantic import of tagged PDFs - osgstyler: template-based formatting - ltxtalk-theme: theme engine for ltx-talk, with a few themes modelled after Beamer themes - ltxtalk-theme-tuc-2019: unofficial version of the TU Chemnitz presentation theme for ltx-talk - ansiterm: ANSI-aware, optionally executable terminal windows - osglistings: minted-based code-listing front end - semcat: semantic-category markup - tagdirtree: taggable directory trees - tagbridge: transitional patches for a few third-party packages that lack native tagging (PDF/UA) support - osgdoc: small wrapper for cnltx with further support for documentation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/osglecture More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/osglecture -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
