CTAN has a new package: TengwarScript
by CTAN Announcements 07 Jan '06

07 Jan '06

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. I apologize for the delay; thank you for prompting me. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: TengwarScript Author's name: Ignacio Fernández Galván 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: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, wich should place the sign nicely with relation to the preceding signs. So, to write the word quetta in Quenya mode one would write: TquesseTacuteTtincoTTdoublerTTthreedots TengwarScribe supports several tengwar fonts which can be found in Type 1 format or easily converted, 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 .

CTAN package update: NCCLATEX
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

The package described below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should be at your favorite mirror soon. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ===================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCLATEX bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ncclatex Summary description: Release 1.4 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the major release of the bundle having many improvements. It requires the `ncctools' bundle of release 3.4. Seven new packages are introduced. Other packages and the `ncc' class are revised. The new `nccdefaults' package sets defaults for some packages from the `ncctools' bundle in correspondence with Russian polygraph. It does this without loading of packages to be modified via the AddToPackage hook. The new `ncctheorems' package specifies 8 theorem-like environments in 3 variants that were early specified in the `ncclatex' package. The same AddToPackage technique is used here. So, all these environments will be declared after the `nccthm' package is loaded. The new `nccbiblist' package introduces the biblist environment and redefines the thebibliography environment. The new `ncctitlepage' package redefines the titlepage environment in NCC-style and introduces the titlepage* environment. It also applies auto-restoration of the text area if it was changed inside these environments with the ExpandTextArea command of the `textarea' package from the `ncctools' bundle. The new `ncctitle' package is renamed from the `ncctitle.clo' file. It is made independent on the `ncc' class and can be used together with other classes. This package introduces commands for preparing a book title, abstract, and last page in rules of Russian polygraphy. The new `nccheadings' package contains definition of `headings' and `myheadings' page styles in NCC-style. The new `nccsections' package applies a customization to sectioning technique of the `nccsect' package from the `ncctools' bundle. Six customization options are allowed now with this package: newsecstyle (separate styles for a number and a text in section declaration commands), newtocstyle (separate styles for a number and a text in TOC declaration commands), chapterinline (chapter tag in line with text), chaptersection (the same as previous but no Chapter/Appendix prefix), partinline (part tag in line with text), partsection (the same as previous but no Part prefix). The `ncchdr' and `nccindex' packages are now independent on the `ncc' class. They can be used together with other classes. In the `ncclatex' package, the `minimize' option is introduced. With this option only required packages are loaded when the `ncclatex' package is used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncclatex .

CTAN package update: NCCTOOLS
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCTOOLS bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ncctools Summary description: Release 3.4 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the major release of the bundle having many improvements. Three new packages are introduced and the `nccsect' package is essentially improved. The most interest package is the `addtopackage'. It introduces the AddToPackage command applying commands after a specified package is loaded. Using it, you can specify patches, additions, and other staff that will be executed right after the respective package is loaded (or at the point where this command is applied if the respective package is already loaded). The new `topsection' package introduces the opsection command which can be used to prepare headings for standard environments such as the bibliography, table of contents, index etc. It automatically selects the respective sectioning command to prepare a heading and updates headers. This command is compatible with standard LaTeX classes and with ncc-based classes. The new `textarea' package introduces the ExpandTextArea command and related staff. This command expands the text area on headers, footers, or margins by changing page layout parameters. The RestoreTextArea command restores the original page layout parameters. In addition, the StartFromTextArea and StratFromHeaderArea commands are specified here. In the `nccsect' package, the sectionstyle declaration can be now applied to particular section levels. The aftersectionvspace allows change the vertical space skipped after a display section. Section declarations now cover all sectioning commands (in the previous version part command for book-like classes was out of scope of the package). The problem of compatibility with the `hyperref' package is solved. Many hooks are introduced for the customization purpose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools .
