CTAN update: pygmentex
by CTAN Announcements 20 Mar '26

20 Mar '26

José Romildo Malaquias submitted back-to-back updates to the pygmentex package. Versions: 0.12 2026-03-18 and 0.12.1 2026-03-19 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Use Pygments to format code listings in documents Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PygmenTeX v0.12.1 has been released. PygmenTeX is a Python-based LaTeX package for typesetting code listings using the Pygments syntax highlighter. Unlike other packages, it collects all snippets and processes them in a single batch, significantly reducing compilation time. CHANGES IN v0.12.1 (HOTFIX) * List Margin Alignment: Fixed a critical regression where pygmented environments inside lists (itemize, enumerate, quotation) ignored parent margins. Code blocks now perfectly inherit the correct list indentation and line widths. * Robust Option Parsing: The Python backend's option parser has been completely rewritten to be brace-aware ({...}). This prevents Pygments from crashing when handling complex, comma-separated LaTeX arguments (such as advanced tcolorbox TikZ overlays). RECENTLY ADDED IN v0.12 * autogobble Option: Introduced the highly requested autogobble feature. This automatically calculates and strips common leading whitespace from code snippets, allowing authors to natively indent their \begin{pygmented} blocks to match the surrounding LaTeX source code. * Modernized Parsing: Completely rewrote the internal LaTeX environment parser to safely preserve active newlines, resolving long-standing conflicts with fancyvrb. For full documentation, please refer to the updated manual included in the package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pygmentex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pygmentex/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Munehiro Yamamoto submitted an update to the spotxcolor package. Version: 1.4 2026-03-17 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Modern spot color support for the xcolor package Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.0: - Fixed spot color output for \color, \textcolor, and \pagecolor. In v1.0, these commands fell back to CMYK values instead of producing true PDF Separation color space operators. As of v1.4, all standard xcolor commands — including tinted expressions like DIC161s!50 — correctly generate spot color output on all engines (pdfTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX, and dvipdfmx). - Fixed spot color output for PGF/TikZ drawing commands. TikZ \fill, \draw, and low-level PGF color commands now produce spot color operators for both fill and stroke independently. - Fixed spot color output for PGF uncolored pattern fills. Hatching and dot patterns (both legacy `patterns` and modern `patterns.meta` libraries) now use a [/Pattern [/Separation ...]] color space, producing true spot color output in pattern fills. - Added user manual (spotxcolor.tex) with a feature/limitation summary table. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/spotxcolor The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/spotxcolor/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: svg-animate
by CTAN Announcements via ctan-ann 19 Mar '26

19 Mar '26

Sébastien Gross submitted the svg-animate package. Version number: 1.0 2026-03-16 License type: agpl3 Summary description: Generate animated SVG diagrams with TikZ Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- svg-animate is a new LaTeX package for producing step-by-step animated SVG diagrams with TikZ. Animations are implemented as SMIL keyframes embedded in the SVG output, so they run natively in any web browser with no JavaScript and no external dependencies. The animation model is simple: a TikZ picture is divided into discrete steps, and each element is revealed or hidden at specific steps via instantaneous opacity transitions. The same source file produces both an animated SVG (via latex + dvisvgm) and a clean static PDF (via xelatex or lualatex), making it suitable for web publishing and print from a single source. Key features: - \begin{animate} / \reveal / \animstep — minimal, intuitive interface - Per-step durations, looping or one-shot playback - Multi-step and range visibility (step={1,3-5}) - Blinking elements with configurable amplitude (blink=) - Static fallback for PDF output (\noanimate, static key) - Cascading options from global to per-element level Requirements: PGF/TikZ >= 3.1.9, dvisvgm >= 2.9, TeX Live 2022+ or MiKTeX 22+. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/svg-animate More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/svg-animate ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
