This class aims to provide a simple, effective method for

LaTeX. It does this by providing commands to handle as much
of the layout of the document as possible, leaving the
author free to concentrate on the pattern.

I'm happy to announce release 3.4 of Eplain, a set of TeX macros that
expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a
style-neutral fashion. Eplain's home page is
http://tug.org/eplain
You can get it off CTAN at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain
The manual is available on-line from CTAN or Eplain home page, or as a
hard-copy from
http://www.lulu.com/content/113810
(royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group).
Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file.
* Eplain repository moved from cvs.sarovar.org:/cvsroot/eplain to
svn://tug.org/eplain/trunk.
* Changed ProcessOptions from miniltx.tex to gobble the optional star
argument, to accommodate the new version of epstopdf.sty.
Thanks to everybody who contributed with bug reports, feature
suggestions and code patches.

On Sun, 21 Feb 2010, Ralf Angeli submitted an update to the
preview
package.
Summary description: Extract bits of a LaTeX source as graphics
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected
elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or images, into separate
pages of a DVI file. This works with DVI files postprocessed by
either Dvips and Ghostscript or dvipng, but it also works when you are
using PDFTeX for generating PDF files.
Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for
WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of
previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the
tbook XML system and some other tools.
The preview package is being developed along and distributed with
preview-latex. With the integration of preview-latex into AUCTeX as
of version 11.81, the preview package became part of AUCTeX as well.
It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution files
available at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>. CTAN provides
the standalone preview package at
<CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>.
For more information about the preview package please refer to the
home page of AUCTeX at
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>.
Version 11.86 of the preview package adds support for XeTeX.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/preview/
. More information is at
http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=preview
(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 .
