Valentin Dao submitted the query-astro package. Version: 0.1.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Querying astronomical databases in LaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This new, experimental package, similarly to fits-astro, offers a new way to work with astronomical data in LaTeX. It allows users to query databases directly from their document using the ADQL language. It does not depend on a particular engine or package, but it does require shell-escape to be active. The result of the query is stored in a macro, which can in turn be used anywhere in the document. This is particularly useful when typesetting tables that contain extensive data about a celestial object, which can be retrieved automatically. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/query-astro More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/query-astro -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Cameron Wimpy submitted the biblatex-abs-annote package. Version: 0.1.1 2026-04-19 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Annotated bibliographies with abstracts and annotations for BibLaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- biblatex-abs-annote v0.1.1 is a new biblatex supplement for producing annotated bibliographies. For each entry it renders, beneath the citation, the abstract and a user-written annotation drawn from standard biblatex fields (annote is accepted as a synonym for annotation); either field may be omitted per entry without special handling. The package composes with any biblatex style by patching the sixteen standard drivers, and all label, font, indent, and spacing choices are customizable. biblatex-abs-annote is the LaTeX component of the cross-format ab-annotate toolchain (GitHub: cwimpy/ab-annotate), which provides the same behavior for Typst and Quarto from a shared .bib file. Suggestions and bug reports are welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-abs-annote The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-abs… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
