New on CTAN: ou-tma
by CTAN Announcements 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Geoff Riley submitted the ou-tma package. Version: 1.20 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A package to aid in the writing of Tutor Marked Assessments for the Open University Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After many years as a package passed around on the Open University "Live" forums, the 'home' will vanish. It is thus time for this to be given a more permanent home where others may find a use for it outside of its original cloistered environment. A TMA is a Tutor Marked Assignment, a mainstay for the British-based distance learning organisation of The Open University (OU). The OU has a worldwide catchment and caters to studies in both undergraduate and postgraduate topics in a wide range of subjects. All subjects use TMAs to monitor student progress, with many of the maths and science modules either suggesting or requiring using LaTeX for submission. The style file presented in this package has been developed over the last twenty or so years and is used extensively. I have taken over as maintainer and created a complete .dtx documentation base for the package. TMA papers are answered through a series of `question` environments, each with `qparts` and `qsubparts.` Several macros are set up to format certain mathematical elements in the manner that the OU expects to aid students in producing appropriate answers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ou-tma More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/ou-tma -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: robust-externalize
by CTAN Announcements 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Léo Colisson submitted an update to the robust-externalize package. Version: 3.0 License: mit Summary description: Cache anything (TikZ, python, ...) in a robust, efficient and pure way Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upgrade robust-externalize with multiple bug fixes, and an important update to breaking change in pythonhighlight. I created a new release 3.0 as I needed to change the compilation command to fix a minor bug (infinite compilation when error), hence the cache of all latex-based builds will be invalidated. If you don't want to recompile all latex-based images in an existing project, you just copy the old .sty in your root folder. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/robust-externalize More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/robust-externalize -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Jan Starke submitted the traffic-light-protocol package. Version: 0.2 2025-04-08 License: apache2 Summary description: Show TLP (Traffic Light Procotol) tags Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, we use the Traffic Light Procotol (TLP) to denote the intended audience of our forensic reports. To simply use the TLP in our reports, we provide the tlp package which has a simple `\tlp` command. We currently rely on `xcolor` as well as LaTeX3; maybe there is some way to make this more compatible to other releases of LaTeX....

CTAN update: asmejour
by CTAN Announcements 08 Apr '25

08 Apr '25

John H. Lienhard submitted an update to the asmejour package. Version: 1.25 2025-04-07 License: mit Summary description: A template for ASME journal papers Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The asmejour class is a template to format preprints in the style of journal papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This version introduces support for unicode-math, which is now loaded by default with lualatex. The required fonts are in TeX Live. Several legacy options and commands have been eliminated. More of the code has been converted to expl3 from latex2e. The following packages are no longer loaded by the class: titlesec, enumitem, ifthen, iftex, totcount, hologo (now in the .tex file), mathalfa (can load in .tex file if needed), as well as these packages that were formerly loaded only as fallbacks: hyperxmp, bookmark, and inputenc. The kvoptions package now loads only for backward compatibility. Full details are in the README file. The class is backward compatible to the October 2020 latex distribution; the class will not compile with older formats. This version is PDF/UA-2 compliant when: the [captionpatch] option is used; subcaptions are not used; figures are compliant; either the [nolists] option is called or \ref* is used in the optional argument of captions; and \DocumentMetadata is properly called. Such PDF files validate fully under the Arlington model and with demo.vera.org. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/asmejour More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/asmejour -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: HitType
by CTAN Announcements 08 Apr '25

08 Apr '25

Jonathan Walls submitted an update to the HitType package. Version: 2.0 2025-04-07 License: lppl1.3c nocommercial Summary description: Typesetting Hittite cuneiform Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a major revision to the HitType package, creating a new basic command structure which allows it to be safely incorporated into documents which also include the LuwianType package. It does away with the capitalized commands in favor of a simple parser that uses space- or stop-separated lowercase sign names which improves the typing experience, and allows for simpler sign naming conventions which align more closely with the Ullikummi font documentation. This new version has now also been officially validated with XeLaTeX besides LuaLaTeX, allowing for more users to benefit from its functionality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/hittype More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hittype -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
