CTAN has a new package skb
by CTAN Announcements 05 Aug '10

05 Aug '10

This should be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: SKB Version number: 0.5 Author's name: Sven van der Meer Summary description: Create and maintain a repository for long-living documents License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to announce a new LaTeX package called skb. This package provides macros that help to build a document repository for long living documents. It focuses on structure and re-use of text, code, figures etc. The basic concept is to first separate structure from content (i.e. text about a topic from the structure it is presented by) and then separating the content from the actual published document, thus enabling easy re-use of text blocks in different publications (i.e. text about a protocol in a short article about this protocol as well as in a book about many protocols); all without constantly copying or changing text. As a side effect, using the document classes provided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from someone who just wants to write articles and books. skb.sty v0.5 : the skb package skbarticle.cls v0.5 : an article class based on memoir skbbook.cls v0.5 : a book class based memoir skbbeamer.cls v0.5 : a beamer class based on beamer v3.10 skblncsbeamer.cls v0.5 : a class for annotated beamer slides skblncsppt.cls v0.5 : a class for annotated ppt slides See for more information the PDF documentation of this package. The history of the package is documented in /source/HISTORY.TXT and in the PDF documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/skb . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/skb (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 .
