CTAN package update: moreverb
by Robin Fairbairns 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I have updated the moreverb package, following advice from Morten Ho{}gholm to a user. The moreverb package offers a miscellany of verbatim functions; it requires the verbatim package from the LaTeX required distribution. Changes to the package include Morten's patch, and a variety of editorial tidies. I have updated the catalogue and installed a .tds.zip file. Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/moreverb.html or browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moreverb/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

On Mon, 2 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. This package contains a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.7) and cannot be used without it. Location on CTAN: /maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1c - BUGFIX: With the option 'idem=false', the author of a first citation who was cited immediately before with another work lacked the forename. - BUGFIX: The option 'edbyidem=false' produced a superfluous 'ed. by'; string. - BUGFIX: Small punctuation issue with repeated citations and 'herename'. - New option 'namefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. The default is none, i.e. authors and editors are set in normal font shape. With 'useprefix=true', this option also affects the name prefix. - New option 'firstnamefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. This also affects the name prefix (with 'useprefix=false') and the name affix. - The option 'oldauthor' is now also available as global option in order to disable the feature. If you set 'oldauthor=false' globally, every entry option 'oldauthor=true' is ignored. Thus, you can set the fontname for every author with global options, independent of entry options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=biblatex-dw (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
