CTAN package update: savetrees
by CTAN Announcements 15 May '11

the dante daemon pokes its head above ground *yet again*: > Name of contribution: savetrees > Version number: 2.0 > Author's name: Scott Pakin > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/savetrees > 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.
