CTAN Update: etoc
by CTAN Announcements 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the etoc package. Summary description: easily customisable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.07e [2013/03/01] The minor updates during the previous month have brought some various improvments to the code, and relatively important changes: * v1.07b removed the xspace previously used in etocname, etocnumber, etocpage. This could mean that some sources will have to be edited, my apologies for that. * v1.07e (this update) completely modifies the (unsatisfactory) use of penalties and vertical spaces in the package `own line styles'. The changes could cause documents having made use of these etoc default line styles to compile a bit differently, my apologies for that. The documentation has been gradually extended to include more and more examples of various uses of the package. Are now explained, among others: * an example of an `inline' TOC with the subsections and the sub-subsections being typeset as footnotes to the sections, * an example of a TOC using the LaTeX default layout except for the subsections of one given section, * an example of a TOC listing all TOCs of the documents, * an example of a subsection which is itself a TOC on three columns displaying all subsections of the document, * and the latest addition: a TOC displayed as a tree. (uses tikz and package tikz-qtree). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etoc/ .

New on CTAN: scalerel
by CTAN Announcements 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Steven B. Segletes submitted the scalerel package to CTAN. Summary description: Routines for constrained scaling and stretching of objects, relative to a reference object or in absolute terms License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The scalerel package provides four commands for vertically scaling and stretching objects. Several features make this package unique. Primarily is the ability to scale/stretch and shift one object to conform to the size of a specified second object. This feature can be useful in both equations and schematic diagrams. Additionally, the scaling and stretching commands offer constraints on maximum width and/or minimum aspect ratio, which are often used to preserve legibility or for general appearance sake. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/scalerel . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/scalerel (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 .
