CTAN update: splitindex
by CTAN Announcements 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

On Tue, 7 Mar 2006 Markus Kohm submitted an update to the splitindex package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/splitindex Summary description: Using a unlimited number of indices with almost every LaTeX-class License type: lppl Description: ------------ SplitIndex consists of a LaTeX package, splitidx, and a small program, splitindex (available in perl, TeX, Java, C, binaries for Windows-Cygwin, OpenBSD-i386, Linux-i386). The package may be used to produce one index or several indices. Without using the program the number of indices is limited by the number of TeXs output streams. But using the program you may use even more than 16 indices. At this case, splitidx outputs only a single file jobname.idx and the program splits that file into several raw index files and calls your favorite index processor for each of it. Changes at version 0.9: ----------------------- - New option `useindex' makes index and alias for sindex. - New command ` ewprotectedindex' behaves like ` ewindex' but tries to protect the argument of `index' and `sindex' using `@onelevel@sanitize'. - New option `protected' makes all `index' and `sindex' calls use `@onelevel@sanitize' to protect the argument. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

by CTAN Announcements 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

A new package has just been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at the mirror that you like the best. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: blockdraw_mp Author's name: Henrik Tidefelt Location on CTAN: /graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/blockdraw_mp Summary description: MetaPost macros for the creation of block diagrams and bond graphs License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package targets the simple problem of producing block diagrams and bond graphs. In more detail, the provided functionality can be divided into o Standard elements such as labeled blocks and bond graph arrows. o Standardized way for selecting input and output points on blocks. o Means for the construction of carpented paths connecting points. o Standardized label positioning along block connections. o Higher-level macros that specialize and/or combine some of the above. An important example from the group of higher-level macros is the macro that takes two blocks as arguments and generates a path connecting them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/blockdraw_… .

[Fwd: tug.ctan.org upload: pracjourn]
by FTP archive maintainer 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Below is an upload from Will Robertson that I somehow contrived to misplace. He prompted me, and on reading it, I want to consult before I reply. He is perhaps a bit vague, but I think he is proposing m/l/c/journals/pracjourn . I think he is volunteering to find in our holdings other journal classes, and then we can move them. I can think of a number of reasons to resist that (sounds like work; authors and others have links to the present locations on web pages; some packages are multi-usage, etc.). But OTOH he is an enthusiastic fellow who perhaps could be encouraged and someday induced to do some of my work. I'm inclinded to at least install this package under journals/ and caution him, but I thought I should ask wiser heads. Jim ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: pracjourn Author's name: Will Robertson Author's email: wspr81(a)gmail.com Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ [journals/] pracjourn Summary description: Class for typesetting articles for The PracTeX Journal License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Class for typesetting articles for The PracTeX Journal. Please find more information at <http://www.tug.org/pracjourn>. To the CTAN maintainers: if you guys like the idea of subdirectories in contrib, I suggest this be placed within journals. Contact me if you do like this idea and want help in finding/moving journal classes into such a newly created directory. (Also see the conferences subdirectory.) I understand long-term stability might be a reason against such a thing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN package update: TengwarScript
by CTAN Announcements 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

The package described below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: TengwarScript Author's name: Ignacio Fernndez Galvn Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/tengwarscript Summary description: A package for writing tengwar with LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Update text: In version 1.2 I've created ENC files and virtual fonts, so that now the original TTF font files can be used, at least with pdflatex, and characters from alt fonts are available. There are also some changes in the s-hooks, and roman punctation as well as some alternate tengwar shapes. Description text: The TengwarScript package provides a mid-level access to tengwar fonts while still generating good output by default. Each tengwar sign has an individual command, which should place the sign nicely with relation to the preceding signs. So, to write the word quetta in Quenya mode one would write: TquesseTTacuteTtincoTTdoublerTTthreedots TengwarScript supports several free tengwar fonts, including Dan Smith's fonts, Tengwar Parmaite, Tengwar Annatar and others. The full set of supported fonts can be found in the manual and in the sample tengfonts.pdf file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tengwarscript .
