CTAN package update: everypage
by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '08

19 Feb '08

The package below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: everypage Author's name: Sergio Callegari Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/everypage Summary description: Provide hooks to be run on every page of a document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 1.1 of the everypage package. Version 1.0 had a bug that caused LaTeX to exceed its capacity or to hang. Such behaviour was particularly evident in conjunction with the draftwatermark package. UPGRADE IS RECOMMENDED The package provides hooks to perform actions on every page, or on the current page. Specifically, actions are performed after the page is composed, but before it is shipped, so they can be used to prepare the output page in tasks like putting watermarks in the background, or in setting the next page layout, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/everypage . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/everypage (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 .

CTAN Update: numprint package
by CTAN Announcements 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

On Sun, 17 Feb 2008 Harald Harders submitted a new version of the numprint package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/numprint Summary description: Update of the numprint package to address two bugs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Print numbers with a separator every three digits and convert numbers given as 12345.6e789 to 12,345,6cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach 12,345.6 imes 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to a given number of digits. If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the number format. Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and after the formatted number. 2007/05/18 v1.38 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Moved counters prt@curpos and prt@rndpos outside the macro definitions to avoid an overflow of counters - Replaced stepcounter and addtocounter by advance because otherwhise, umprint does not work inside ensuremath{ ext{$...$}}. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/numprint .

This will help the authors already familiar with amsart to easily submit manuscripts for The Israel Journal of Mathematics or to put the preprints in http://www.arxiv.org with minimal changes in the LaTeX source. Changes: Version 1.1: Added environments namedprop and namedprop* for special named propositions. Version 1.1a: Minor documentation updates. Version 1.2: New table of contents formatting. Version 1.3: Changed the typesetting of proofs that end by a math display. This involves interface changes.
