CTAN update: standalone
by CTAN Announcements 27 Mar '10

27 Mar '10

This should be at your local mirror within a day. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ................................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: standalone Version number: v0.3 Author's name: Martin Scharrer Summary description: Update to v0.3: Automatic sub-preamble inclusion inside the main preamble License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update brings some exciting new options for the 'standalone' package. Using these options the preamble code of the sub-files can not only be skipped but extracted into an auxiliary file (.sta) which is then loaded by the main document during the next LaTeX run. The body content of the sub-files is skipped during the first run to avoid compile errors. To avoid option clashes of loaded packages all package option can be extracted first and predefined using 'PassOptionsToPackage'. Alternatively the sub-preambles can be simply printed (without special macros added by 'standalone') into a different auxiliary file (.stp) for easy manual copy&paste into the main document. If requested a list of required packages and pgf, tikz and tikz-timing libraries can be printed avoiding duplicates. New macros: onlyifstandalone{<code>} Used to hide code from the sub-preamble code extractor. standaloneignore Can be used to ignore code before the 'documentclass' of sub-files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/standalone .
