CTAN update: program version 3.3.11
by CTAN Announcements 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: program.sty version 3.3.11 Author's name: Martin Ward Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/program Summary description: A style file for typesetting programs in maths mode with indentation License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a copy of my LaTeX2e style file for typesetting programs and algorithms in my favourite style without having to type in endless tabbing commands. Each line is set in math mode so all the indentation and spacing is done automatically. The notation |variable_name| can be used within normal text, maths expressions or programs to indicate a variable name. Use origbar to get a normal | symbol in a program. The commands A, B, R, T and typeset the corresponding bold letter with the next object as a substript (eg S1 typesets {f S$_1$} etc). They now cope with primes as well, (eg $S2'''$). The program.sty file can be easily edited to reflect your favoured style. Typesetting a program is as easy as: (IF x e 0 THEN |long_name|_{123} = x^y FI) See the program-demo.tex file for examples. The file should work with or without AMSLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/program .
