New CTAN package: coverpage
by CTAN Announcements 26 Feb '06

26 Feb '06

On Thu, 23 Feb 2006 Matthias Mühlich submitted the package coverpage to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/coverpage Summary description: automatic cover page creation for scientific papers (with BibTeX data and copyright notice) License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package coverpage was created to supplement scientific papers with a cover page containing bibliographical information, a copyright notice, and/or some logos of the author's institution. The cover page is created (almost) automatically; this is done by parsing BibTeX information corresponding to the main document and reading a configuration file in which the author can set information like the affiliation he or she is associated with. The cover page consists of header, body and footer; all three are macros which can be redefined using enewcommand, thus allowing easy customization of the package. Additionally, it should be stressed that the cover page layout is totally independent of the main document and its page layout (which is not the easiest thing to achieve in LaTeX). This package requires four other packages (keyval, url, textcomp, and verbatim), but all of them are standard packages and should be part of every LaTeX installation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Now, sequence logos can be displayed. Further, a novel way to identify and visualize relevant, subfamily-specific sequence deviations has been implemented, i.e. subfamily logos. Numerous improvements have been made, e.g. limitations in the maximal number of sequences per alignment have been overcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: ctable 1.7
by CTAN Announcements 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

On Wed, 22 Feb 2006, Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the ctable package. - ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered or left or right aligned table and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions. - replaces ctable-1.6b.tar.gz - major changes (relative to v1.6b): option captionskip to influence whitespace between caption and table option rotate is now obsolete, use the option sideways instead. The latter rotates tables: - by 90 degrees anticlockwise in onesided documents, - with their head to the fold in twosided documents.

CTAN submission - Mem
by CTAN Announcements 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

On Mon, 20 Feb 2006, Javier Bezos submitted an update to the mem package, which contains the experimental code he's writing for Lamed (ie, LaTeX + Aleph). This is still a pre-alpha release, which is being developed as open source on SourceForge: http://mem-latex.sourceforge.net He writes: This release is still a somewhat unorganized set of files and it fixes many small bugs, as I think it's preferable to stabilize the current code before ever tackling new features. In addition: - The OCP switching mechanism has been written from scratch (and now you can trace how processes are built). Now uppercase/lowercase works too, and yo can mix, say unaccented uppercase for French and accented uppercase for Spanish. - verbatim begins to work. The problem was in the char primitive, but I've found a workaround. Unfortunately, when trying to fix char Aleph has introduced new bugs which were not present in eOmega (no workaround yet). - New examples and a few minor additions and bug fixes (eg, and d were messed up). License is LPPL. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/exptl/mem/ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
