03 Oct '05

On Sun, 2 Oct 2005 Uwe Lück submitted updates to the lineno and ednotes packages. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ednotes/ macros/latex/contrib/lineno/ Summary description: Updates: apparatus hook, modulo refinement ...

(Requires manyfoot.sty v1.9!) 2. lineno.sty offers modulolinenumbers* and a package option `modulo*' for printing first line number after interrupting editor's text, regardless of the modulo. 3. To prevent lemma code from working in the apparatus (`fol...', e.g.), ednotes.sty now offers otinnote (replacing otthislemma, now without `undefined c...'). lineno.sty v4.31: documenting lineno.tex/pdf have been debugged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
