On Sun, 16 Oct 2005, Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update to his tabularht package. The tabularht package defines some environments that add a height specification to tabular and array environments. The default set of new environments take a value for their height in the first argument: defined environments are: tabularht, tabularht* and arrayht. If package <xref refid='tabularx'>tabularx</xref> is also loaded, the package also defines environments tabularxht and tabularxht*.

CTAN update: movie15
by CTAN Announcements 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

On Thu, 13 Oct 2005, Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the movie15 package. This package defines includemovie with PDF-1.5 compatibility. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/movie15/ Summary description: multimedia inclusion package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.) The image file argument of the `poster' option has become optional with this update. This new variant of the `poster' option causes the player plugin of Adobe Reader to show the very first frame of the movie or to show the frame at the beginning of a movie segment, which has been specified with the `startat' and `endat' options. 2.) A new user macro has been added: movieref It allows embedded movies and sounds to be referenced from any location within the document. `movieref' creates a hyperlink to either stop, pause or resume the media, or to restart it at different settings, such as frame rate, volume and start/end positions. Furthermore, clicking the hyperlink opens the page containing the media it is pointing to. 3.) Compatibility commands `movie' and `hyperlinkmovie' have been added such that `movie15' can be used as a replacement for Till Tantau's `multimedia' package, which is part of his Beamer-Class. The benefits are fully embeddable media files and more accepted media formats. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN package update: outerhbox
by CTAN Announcements 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: outerhbox Author's name: Jonathan Fine Location on CTAN: /macros/generic/misc/outerhbox.sty Summary description: outerhbox.sty - collect horizontal material for contributing to a paragraph License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Collects horizontal mode material into an hbox, suitable for later unhbox'ing into a paragraph. For use with plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt, etc. Provides outerhbox, which is roughly similar to hbox, except that material is set in outer horizontal mode. This prevents TeX from optimising away math penalties and the like, that are needed when the material is unhbox'ed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/misc/outerhbox.sty . You may get a better network connection by using a CTAN mirror near to you; see http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors . Our service is supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
