Zsolt Bihari submitted the firstindexletter package. Version: 1.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Enlarged initials for the first entries of index letter groups Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ firstindexletter is a LaTeX package for visually emphasizing the first item of each index letter group by enlarging its initial letter. The package is intended primarily for indexes generated with xindy/texindy. It works at LaTeX macro level: instead of modifying the generated .ind file, it hooks into the index environment and formats the first entry of each effective letter group. The package provides configurable initial size, font family and color, simple optical kerning adjustments for selected initial-letter pairs, and support for Hungarian multi-character initials such as Cs, Gy, Ly, Ny, Sz, Ty and Zs, with configurable handling of Dz and Dzs. Initial CTAN release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/firstindexletter The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/firstindexletter/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

João M. Lourenço submitted the aidisclose package. Version: 1.12.0 2026-02-21 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Generate disclosure statements and checklists for the use of generative AI Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The aidisclose package is now on CTAN. aidisclose provides a standardized, transparent way to declare the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in academic, technical, and professional documents. Built on an extension of the GAIDeT (Generative AI Delegation Taxonomy), it lets authors mark which tasks were delegated to AI, list the tools used (or state that none were), add optional numbered or unnumbered comments, and automatically typeset a formatted disclosure section or chapter with a task-based checklist. The package is configured through a key–value interface, can manage the citations for the taxonomy and the package automatically, and detects the document language via babel or polyglossia, shipping translations for fourteen languages (defaulting to English). A companion online generator/configurator is available at https://aidisclose.org. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/aidisclose The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/aidisclose/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: gckanbun
by CTAN Announcements 22 Jun '26

22 Jun '26

Kosei Kawaguchi submitted an update to the gckanbun package. Version: 2.6.0 2026-06-21 License: mit Summary description: Kanbun typesetting for (u)pLaTeX and LuaLaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.6.0 makes command chaining whitespace-insensitive: a space, line break, or comment between cooperating commands (for example a ruby or group ruby followed by okurigana or a return mark) no longer breaks the lookahead or inserts spurious glue, so spaced and adjacent input now produce identical layout. Invalid "intrusion" option values are now rejected with a package error instead of being silently ignored. This release adds a whitespace regression matrix and a LuaLaTeX-only "make check" release gate, and drops an unused documentation dependency. LuaLaTeX remains the recommended engine. Basic (u)pLaTeX compatibility is retained, with the limitations documented in the package manual. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/language/japanese/gckanbun More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/gckanbun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: KKluaverb
by CTAN Announcements 22 Jun '26

22 Jun '26

Kosei Kawaguchi submitted an update to the KKluaverb package. Version: 2.3.0 2026-06-12 License: mit Summary description: Provides a Lua-enhanced versatile \verb command Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in this release (v2.3.0): - New options `wrap` and `wrapindent` for `\KKcodeS/E` blocks: when `\KKvOpChange{wrap=true}` is set, lines that exceed `\linewidth` are automatically wrapped instead of producing Overfull `\hbox` warnings. Continuation lines are indented by the original code indentation plus the value of `wrapindent` (default: 2em). This feature is available for style=1 and style=2 (line-numbered); continuation lines in style=2 do not receive a line number. - New command `\KKvSetMapTeX{<char>}{<tex-cmd>}`: maps a verbatim character to a TeX command, which is emitted via `tex.sprint` (with expansion) at output time. This complements the existing `\KKvSetMap` (character-to- character substitution) and is useful in Japanese font contexts where U+2423 (OPEN BOX, ␣) may be rendered as a full-width glyph. - New command `\KKvSpaceVisible`: convenience wrapper for `\KKvSetMapTeX{ }{\textvisiblespace}`, making spaces in verbatim output appear as the half-width visible-space symbol provided by `textcomp`. - New command `\KKvClearMapTeX{<char>}`: removes the TeX-command mapping for the given character and restores the default behaviour (for space: reverts to the automatic non-breaking space substitution). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/kkluaverb More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/kkluaverb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
