CTAN update: robotkarol
by CTAN Announcements 24 Sep '26

24 Sep '26

Anselm Wagner submitted an update to the robotkarol package. Version: 3.9 2026-09-23 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Worlds and block programs of the German teaching environment Robot Karol Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- robotkarol draws worlds and Blockly-style block programs in the visual style of Robot Karol Online (https://karol.arrrg.de/) for worksheets, exams and slides. New in version 3.9: a karolwelt picture can show the start state and the goal state of a task at once, the way the online exercises do. The objects take the keys start and ziel -- with the aliases neu and weg, and the Robot Karol verbs hinlegen/aufheben and setzen/loeschen -- as well as startanzahl and zielanzahl for stacks that grow or shrink. The environment gained zustand=start|ziel|beides to pick the view, aufraeumen for tasks whose goal is the empty world, and rahmen and hervorheben. The new karolweltpaar environment draws one world twice, as a before-and-after pair, and \karolzustandslegende explains the symbols. The print mode covers all of this by hatching and dashed outlines rather than by shades of grey. Documents that do not use the new keys produce byte-identical output. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/robotkarol More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/robotkarol -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: linguexx
by CTAN Announcements via ctan-ann 23 Sep '26

23 Sep '26

Gerhard Schaden submitted an update to the linguexx package. Version: 1.3.2 2026-09-21 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A tagging-aware package for typesetting linguistic examples and glosses Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed in 1.3.2 In a tagged PDF, the spoken form of an \altn or \altg stack was attached to an element that contained nothing. Under LuaLaTeX this happened to every stack; under every engine, to an \altn alternative containing a \lpzg gloss. The printed page was correct and veraPDF accepted the file, so the defect went unnoticed. A screen reader now finds the alternatives inside the element whose /Alt describes them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/linguexx More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/linguexx -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
