pdfcomment
package.
Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting
arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in
a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is
indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions
in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe
Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a
convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments
in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports:
LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX.
Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to
nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is
Adobe Reader.

installfont
package.
Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this script you can install a LaTeX font family
(Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports
font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps
+ faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will
rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise
expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript
Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme
(e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should
have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.

package.

License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The outlines package defines the outline environment,
that allows outline-style indented lists with freely mixed levels up
to four levels deep. It replaces the nested begin/end pairs by
different item tags 1 to 4 for each nesting level. This is very
convenient in cases where nested lists are used a lot, such as for to-do
lists or presentation slides.
Version 1.1 adds support for custom list styles at each level.

On Sun, 22 Jan 2012 Igor A. Kotelnikov submitted an update to the
gost
package.
Summary description: BibTeX styles to meet State Standards (GOSTs) of Russia
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GOST is a bundle of BibTeX styles designed to meet State Standards (GOST)
on information, librarianship and publishing issued by Russian Federation
and interstate committee of former USSR States.
The System of Standards includes:
GOST 7.0.5-2008 Bibliographic reference.
General requirements and rules of making.
GOST 7.1 -2003 Bibliographic record.
Bibliographic description.
General requirements and rules.
GOST 7.80 -2000 Bibliographic record.
Heading. General requirements and rules.
GOST 7.11 -2004 Bibliographic description and references.
Rules for the abbreviation of words and word combinations
in foreign European languages
ect.
The GOST bundle contains 8 BibTeX styles. These include 2 BibTeX styles
for documents in 8bit encoding and 2 equivalent styles in UTF8 encoding.
Encoding | Unsorted Sorted
----------------------------------------------------------------
8bit | gost705.bst gost705s.bst
utf8 | unicode-gost705.bst unicode-gost705s.bst
4 styles are retained for backward compatibility. They do not conform
standards listed above.
Encoding | Unsorted Sorted
----------------------------------------------------------------
8bit | gost780u.bst gost780s.bst
utf8 | unicode-gost780u.bst unicode-gost780s.bst
To produce 8bit styles, you need to download the files `gost.ins' and
`gost.dtx'. Run LaTeX on gost.ins. Similarly, to produce unicoded
style, run LaTeX on unicode-gost.ins.
Beyond that, GOST bundle contains CS files (codepage and sorting order).
Encoding | CSF Sorting order
----------------------------------------------------------------
cp866 | ruscii.csf Cyrillic first, Latin
cp1251 | cp1251.csf Cyrillic first, Latin
koi8-u | koi8u.csf Cyrillic first, Latin
utf8 | utf8cyrillic.csf Cyrillic first, Latin
In addition, BibTeX8 distribution comes with few more CSFs.
Encoding | CSF Sorting order
----------------------------------------------------------------
cp866 | cp866rus.csf Latin first, Cyrillic
How to use
1. Select bibliography style by adding appropriate ibliographystyle
declaration to your source file <filename>.tex, e.g.
ibliographystyle{gost}
ibliography{dabase}
2. Add the field language=ukrainian or language=russian to the
bibliographic entries in Ukrainian or Russian languages in your
databese; English is the default language. German, Italian and
French are partially supported.
3. To compile list of references from your database use bibtex8.exe
rather than bibtex.exe. Depending on the codepage of your
bibliographic database, indicate one of the CS files
listed above as option to bibtex8.exe. Run LaTeX, then run
bibTeX8 and LaTeX again:
latex <filename>.tex
bibtex8 -B -c <csf_file>.csf <filename>.aux
latex <filename>.tex
4. For details on preparing bibliographic database see
examples in gost*.pdf.
5. Unicode-gost*.bst styles are primarily intended for use
with unicode compilers (xelatex and lualatex). They
should be preferred as well when using 8bit compilers
(latex and pdflatex) if source file is in utf8 encoding.
Customization
Every GOST style defines few commands to format some parts of a
reference. You can redefine these commands prior to
the ibliography{<bibtex_style>} command. Initial
definitions are listed below.
providecommand*{url}[1]{{small #1}}
providecommand*{BibUrl}[1]{url{#1}}
providecommand{BibAnnote}[1]{}
providecommand*{BibEmph}[1]{emph{#1}}
By default, gost styles separate logical parts of a bibliography
record by a period and cyrdash (. ---). It is legitimate to drop
that dash by overriding the command BibDash as follows
providecommand*{BibDash}{}
By default, BibDash is equivalent to the shorthand ---
introduced by the babel package with the option russuan.
It prints a so called cyrillic dash (cyrdash), which is
20% shorter then ordinary LaTeX dash (---), and puts
unbreakable space before cyrdash so that dash never appears
in the beginning of a line.
What's new in version 2012.02.02
1. Support for GOST 7.0.5-2008 is provided.
2. @Online entry is added to format a reference to electronic
resource on Internet.
3. Urldate field is added to format the date of last access to
Internet resource.
