New on CTAN: titlecaps
by CTAN Announcements 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Steven B. Segletes submitted the titlecaps package. Summary description: Routines for setting rich-text input into Titling Caps License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The titlecaps package is intended for setting rich text into titling capitals (in which the first character of words are capitalized). It automatically accounts for diacritical marks (like umlauts), national symbols (like ae), punctuation, and font changing commands that alter the appearance or size of the text. It allows a list of predesignated words to be protected as lower-cased, and also allows for titling exceptions of various sorts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/titlecaps . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titlecaps (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: savetrees
by CTAN Announcements 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the savetrees package. Summary description: Pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission. Version 2.1 introduces a convenient set of package meta-options -- subtle, moderate, and extreme -- which encapsulate useful subsets of savetrees's space-saving techniques. In addition, savetrees now knows how to reduce space within and between mathematical expressions. Finally, to complement the documentation, the package includes a new demonstration file, st-sample2.pdf, which showcases savetrees's ability to reduce document white space. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/savetrees .
