CTAN has a new package: fontwrap
by CTAN Announcements 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

This package has been put up at tug.ctan.org and should soon work its way through the system. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: fontwrap Author's name: Mike Pomax Kamermans Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/fontwrap Summary description: fontwrap lets you bind fonts to specific unicode blocks, for automatic font tagging of multilingual text License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For everyone who writes multilingual texts, fontwrap makes the hassle of adding language changing or font changing macros a lot easier by dispensing with having you add them in your text altogether. Just tell the package which fonts to use for which Unicode blocks or groups (such as the Hebrew block, or all Latin blocks) and wrap your text in the fontwrap macro (requires UTF8 input, but then when don't you save a multilingual file in UTF8 anymore these days?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontwrap .

Re: dante.ctan.org upload: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

On Thu, 5 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1d - BUGFIX: The global option 'oldauthor' which was introduced in version 1.1c caused an erroneous behaviour when used together with 'idembib=true' (which is the default). This is now fixed. - New option 'editorstring' which can take the values 'parens', 'brackets' and 'normal'; the default is 'parens'. This option sets the string 'editor' (abbreviated 'ed.') in parentheses or in brackets, or just puts the string (with a preceding comma) after the editor name. - New option 'edbeforetitle' which can take the values 'true' and 'false'; the default is 'false'. When set to 'true', the editor in @INCOLLECTION and @INPROCEEDINGS entries will be typeset before the booktitle ('... in: Editor (ed.): Booktitle ...') rather than afterwards ('... in: Booktitle, ed. by Editor ...'). - Small correction in the terse version of the List of Shorthands concerning the punctuation after authors/ editors. - Added missing bibliography drivers for option 'edbyidem'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

CTAN package update: moreverb
by Robin Fairbairns 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I have updated the moreverb package, following advice from Morten Ho{}gholm to a user. The moreverb package offers a miscellany of verbatim functions; it requires the verbatim package from the LaTeX required distribution. Changes to the package include Morten's patch, and a variety of editorial tidies. I have updated the catalogue and installed a .tds.zip file. Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/moreverb.html or browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moreverb/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

On Mon, 2 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. This package contains a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.7) and cannot be used without it. Location on CTAN: /maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1c - BUGFIX: With the option 'idem=false', the author of a first citation who was cited immediately before with another work lacked the forename. - BUGFIX: The option 'edbyidem=false' produced a superfluous 'ed. by'; string. - BUGFIX: Small punctuation issue with repeated citations and 'herename'. - New option 'namefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. The default is none, i.e. authors and editors are set in normal font shape. With 'useprefix=true', this option also affects the name prefix. - New option 'firstnamefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. This also affects the name prefix (with 'useprefix=false') and the name affix. - The option 'oldauthor' is now also available as global option in order to disable the feature. If you set 'oldauthor=false' globally, every entry option 'oldauthor=true' is ignored. Thus, you can set the fontname for every author with global options, independent of entry options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

Also, the action and condition macros are extended with a starred version, which automatically adjust the size of the rectangle and hexagon based on the size of the contents. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/msc .
