Name of contribution: achemso
Author's name: Joseph Wright
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/achemso
Summary description: Support for submissions to American Chemical Society journals
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
The achemso bundle, version 3
---------------------------------------------------------------
The achemso bundle includes a series of files for supporting
submission to the American Chemical Society. The current
bundle includes:
- achemso.cls, a class for writing article
- achemso.sty, a more generally-useful package following
the ACS standards
- natmove.sty, a small support package to modify the
behaviour of natbib
- achemso.bst and biochem.bst, two BibTeX style files which
between them cover all ACS journal styles
---------------------------------------------------------------
Version 3 is a complete re-write of the package. This is now
the *official* class for LaTeX submissions to the ACS. The
files have been tested by the publishers and work for
submission. See:
http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/submission/general/tex.html
for details.
The changes mean that users moving from version 2 should read
the documentation very carefully. The BibTeX styles now
*require*:
- natbib
- mciteplus
while the package and class also *requires* notes2bib (and
natmove). The recommended method for using the BibTeX styles
is to load them using the package, i.e.
usepackage[options]{achemso}
as this provides a customisable interface and also ensures
the correct packages are loaded.

Name of contribution: verbatimbox
Author's name: Steven B. Segletes
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/verbatimbox
Summary description: Store verbatim text in a LaTeX box, for use in places
where verbatim environment is not allowed.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you need to include blocks of verbatim text inside figures or
tables? The verbatim environment is not compatible with some of these
other environments. But now, the verbbox environment allows you to
input verbatim text and store it in a LaTeX box. That box then becomes
generally usable in all other LaTeX environments, and can be simply
recalled.
This style therefore allows for a greater use of the verbatim environment
within other LaTeX constructs where verbatim was previously inaccessible.

On Tue, 19 Aug 2008 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the
caption
package.
The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating
environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages.
Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or
figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other
packages, is provided in the documentation.
The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way
that simpler packages like capt-of do.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugfix release of the caption package bundle:
- Missing options `within' & `without' added
- Bugfix: label...pageref should work always now
- Bugfix: subfigure support of caption2 package revised
- Bugfix: label, index, and glossary are allowed inside
sub-captions which produce a list entry now
- Bugfix: figurename=<name> works now when using (n)german.sty

Name of contribution: boxhandler
Author's name: Steven B. Segletes
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler
Summary description: Tools for Optimizing Captions, Presentation, and
Placement of Tables and Figures
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package facilitates the optimized presentation of LaTeX tables and
figures. Not only can boxhandler conveniently lay out table and figure
captions with a wide variety of stylistic appearances, but allows for
figures and tables to be ``wrapped'' in a manner consistent with many
business and government documents.
For a document that might appear in different venues with different
formatting, boxhandler very powerfully permits the creation of a LaTeX
source document that can, with a single-line change in the source code,
produce an output that has vastly different layout from the baseline
configuration, not only in terms of caption style, but more importantly
in terms of the locations where figures, tables and lists appear (or
not) in the document.
Deferral routines also allow one to keep all figure and table data in
a separate source file, while nonetheless producing a document with
figures and tables appearing in the desired location in the document.
