iitem
package.
Summary description: Multiple level of lists in one list-like environment.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Writing lists in LaTeX is always a bit annoying.
You have to put several egin{list} end{list} in your list environment to go a step deeper.
Instead of writing long confusing lists like
egin{enumerate}
item 1
egin{enumerate}
item 2
egin{enumerate}
item 3
egin{enumerate}
item 4
end{enumerate}
end{enumerate}
item 2.1
end{enumerate}
item 1.1
egin{enumerate}
item 2
end{enumerate}
end{enumerate}
you can just write this using the 'iitem' package:
egin{enumerate}
item 1
iitem 2
iiitem 3
ivtem 4
iitem 2.1
item 1.1
iitem 2
end{enumerate}

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
dashrule
package.
Summary description: Draw dashed rules
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of
dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a
command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's
ule
and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws
horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as
ule,
but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that
specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between
those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed
internally using
ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript
specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX
back-end processor.
Version 1.3 fixes a small bug that introduced spurious
spaces into the output.
