Documentation policy for packages on CTAN
by Robin Fairbairns 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

Documentation of packages on CTAN ================================= For a long time, the CTAN team has relied on the users to find their own way to package documentation. This reliance is proving increasingly unsatisfactory, and we hope to improve things for archive users, at the cost of some extra work by package authors. Our aim is that all packages should have with them, on the archive, a documentation file. Since we want these files to be browsable, we would ordinarily expect that the documentation be provided as an Acrobat (.pdf) file; plain text (.txt) is just about acceptable, Postscript and DVI are definitely not acceptable. We are aware that this is a mammoth aim; it is not something the CTAN team could even hope to do unaided, even if we wanted to. How does this affect _you_? --------------------------- If you're merely browsing the archive (or downloading files), you should be aware that it will be worth looking for a separate file of documentation with packages of interest. (There are not many there, yet, but things should improve.) If you're an author submitting a new or revised package, you will need to consider how best to supply documentation. For many LaTeX package authors, no more is needed than to run the documented source file (.dtx) with pdfLaTeX, and to submit the result when submitting your package. Some packages come with separate documentation: that documentation should be distributed in pdf form. If you're the author of an established package, please try to find the time to submit a documentation file. If you're an author, and unsure how to proceed, please contact the CTAN team via ctan(a)dante.de to discuss your issues. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- Estonian hyphenation patterns (moved)
by Reinhard Zierke 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

Yesterday I erroneously installed Enn Saar's Estonian hyphenation patterns in CTAN:language/estonian/eehyph.tex. I just moved this file to CTAN:language/hyphenation/eehyph.tex where it belongs. I'm sorry for the confusion. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN package upgrade: empheq
by Jim Hefferon 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

A package has been upgraded at tug.ctan.org and it is working its way to your favorite mirror even now. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: empheq Author's name: Morten Høgholm Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/empheq Summary description: empheq v2.00 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in v2.00: * New features: - Easy creation of new tag forms. - Extensible arrows, harpoons and hookarrows. - Extensible under- and overbrackets. - Starred versions of the `amsmath' matrices taking an optional argument specifying column alignment. - Added options `fixamsmath', `donotfixamsmathbugs', `overload, `overload2', and `ntheorem'. - The `overload' feature lets you use the syntax egin{<AmS env>}[<markup>] ... end{<AmS env>} - Scale non-delimiter material to the correct size of the math display yourself. * Bug fixes: - More `ntheorem' fixes: the optional argument of label is now caught in various `amsmath' environments. - Minor spacing bugs removed. * Documentation: - Added descriptions of all the new features. - Added descriptions of all the new options. * Code: - Now uses the new internal LaTeX3 syntax with _ and : except for user commands. - The fixes for `ntheorem' is now a separate module generated by the installation file and included by the option `ntheorem'. - Split up installation file for the obsolete version of the package, which now lives a (very quiet) life of its own. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/empheq although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN has a new package: tpic2pdftex
by Jim Hefferon 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks again for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: tpic2pdftex.awk Author's name: Hartmut Henkel Location on CTAN: graphics/tpic2pdftex Summary description: Converting tpic special's into pdfliteral's by awk License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The experimental awk-script tpic2pdftex.awk builds one bridge between the pic graphics language and pdfTeX. What tpic2pdftex.awk does: We start from one or more graphics described by the venerable pic language (see e. g. file example.pic), embedded inline within pdfTeX or pdfLaTeX code, and limited by classical .PS and .PE markers as known from groff. The pic graphics might be annotated by TeX or LaTeX text. This pic/TeX language-mix file is piped through the (groff-)pic preprocessor and the tpic2pdftex.awk script. The result is a TeX file with inline pdfliteral{} sections, for further processing by pdftex or pdflatex. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/tpic2pdftex although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN submission -- Estonian hyphenation patterns
by Reinhard Zierke 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Enn Saar ----- I uploaded to ftp.dante.de a zip file (eehyph.zip) with Estonian hyphenation patterns. I should have done that long ago, these patterns have been in use for about twenty years. The patterns should go into tex-archive/language/estonian/eehyph.tex, and I chose to license them by lppl. Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested in CTAN:language/estonian/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- preview-latex-0.8.1.tar.gz
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.8.1.tar.gz and preview-0.8.1.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. (...) Here are the release notes: Release notes for version 0.8.1 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex dresses up your LaTeX source by pasting judiciously selected chunks (such as single formulas) chopped from unwieldy preview pages right over their source in the Emacs/XEmacs buffer. You get to have your eye candy and edit it, too. The employed style file preview.sty is independently useful for extraction of selected text elements as images. It now fully supports pdftex including the tightpage option. The package is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, at least GNU Emacs-21.1 under the X window system or XEmacs-21 in version 21.4.10 or later, AUCTeX (11.14 or later recommended, see below), a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. dvipng (version 1.0 or later), a very fast dvi converter available from the same CVS archive, can also be used for conversion. Recent CVS versions of GNU Emacs for Windows or MacOS Carbon should also work. 0.8.1 fixes major bugs in code and RPMs for 0.8 which has been pulled. Current releases support for the first time conversion with PDFLaTeX (however, the foreground color of Emacs buffers appears always black here, differing reports and PDFLaTeX/GhostScript expertise welcome), and conversion with dvipng. Several changes were done to the dumping process to get reasonable behavior when the latex executable actually is eTeX-based. The right mouse button now has a context menu. It is now possible to copy source text passages with images into mail buffers. The README file provides adequate information for firing up preinstalled distributions, and pointers how to provide feedback. The INSTALL file contains a special section with advice for package providers. There is also a file INSTALL.windows detailing instructions for users of that operating system. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. If you can spare the time, you can also comment on or rate this project at <URL:http://freshmeat.net/projects/preview-latex>. Paypal donations to the maintainer are also possible via SourceForge. Additional files can be found at <URL:http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/preview-latex>: * If you don't have texinfo 4.0 or later installed, prebuilt documentation files can be found there. * Tarballs of preview-latex for all users, alternatively RPMs for RedHat Linux. For the binary RPMs, you will need the preview-latex-common RPM as well as the Emacs-flavor specific RPM. * AUCTeX is now located at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex>. The download area should also provide you with RPMs if you are using RedHat Linux. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old file in CTAN:support/preview-latex/ and CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
