CTAN has a new package: ted
by CTAN Announcements 12 Dec '07

The packge below has been put up to tug.ctan.org and will soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ted Author's name: Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ted Summary description: a (primitive) token list editor License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Just like sed is a stream editor, ted is a token list editor. Actually, it is not as powerfull as sed, but its main feature is that it really works with tokens, not only characters. The ted package provides two user macros: Substitute and ShowTokens. The first one is maybe the most useful: it performs substitutions in token lists (even inside braces). The second displays each token of the list (one per line) with its catcode (in the list, not just the current one), and can be useful for debugging or for TeX learners. The ted package is designed to work well even if strange tokens (that is, unusual (charcode, catcode) pairs or tokens with a confusing meaning) occur in the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ted .

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: mh Author's name: Morten Høgholm Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mh Summary description: Update of the mh bundle: breqn, flexisym, mathstyle License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in flexisym =================== * Fix problem with std@minus and std@equal which had to be removed from AtBeginDocument hook. Also fixed problem with std@equal which occured when operators had been defined with DeclareMathOperator. * Support for mathpazo and mathptmx added. * Source code comments by Michael J. Downes added. Changes in breqn ================ * Fixed catcode settings and package loading of flexisym. * Cleaned up some parts of the code. * Source code comments by Michael J. Downes added. Changes in mathstyle =================== * Documentation written (original sources unfortunately lost). * Use @saveprimitive from breqn. * New command currentmathstyle + example of usage A special note on the source code comments: The original sources of breqn and related files exist in a non-dtx format devised by Michael Downes. Lars Madsen has kindly written a Perl script for transforming the original source files into near-perfect dtx state, requiring only very little hand tuning. Without his help it would have been nigh impossible to incorporate the original sources with Michael's comments. A big, big thank you to him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mh .

Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ..............................................................................

Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: dot2texi Author's name: Kjell Magne Fauske Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dot2texi Summary description: Create graphs within LaTeX using Graphviz and the dot2tex tool License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dot2texi package allows you to embed graphs in the DOT graph description language in your LaTeX documents. The dot2tex[1] tool is used to invoke Graphviz[2] for graph layout, and to transform the output from Graphviz to LaTeX code. The generated code relies on the TikZ and PGF package or the PSTricks package. The process is automated if shell escape is enabled. New in version 2.0: - Improved platform detection. Windows users no longer need to specify the miktex option. - Added forceshell package option. - Added codeonly, styleonly and autosize environment options.

Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: dot2tex Author's name: Kjell Magne Fauske Location on CTAN: /graphics/dot2tex/ Summary description: Convert graphs generated by Graphviz to LaTeX friendly formats License type: dfsg Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dot2tex is a tool for converting graphs rendered by Graphviz to formats that can be used with LaTeX. The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by Graphviz a more LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by converting xdot output from Graphviz to a series of TikZ and PGF, or PSTricks commands. This approach allows: * Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation. * Using native PSTricks and PGF/TikZ commands for drawing arrows. * Using backend specific styles to customize the output New in version 2.7.0 is the --codeonly option for tighter integration with the dot2texi.sty LaTeX package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/dot2tex/ .
