CTAN package update: UK TeX FAQ v3.16c-1
by CTAN Announcements 18 Dec '06

18 Dec '06

I have installed a new version of the UK TeX FAQ on CTAN, in directory help/uk-tex-faq This new version includes some work on tidying the FAQ-as-a-whole, and a small number of improvements and additions (see extracts from the CHANGES file, copied below). (I did in fact install a new copy last week, but problems with it were detected almost immediately, so I delayed announcement until the problems were resolved and this replacement installed.) The FAQ appears on CTAN as http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq and in the catalogue as http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/faq.html However, browsing (and rather feeble searching) is best achieved via the web interface at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq The CHANGES file for this release mentions: Changes in version 3.16c New answer: +Label isdef: is this command defined? tests Revised answers: +Label bibprefixsort: two new examples +Label citeURL: provide a list (rather than a bunch) of alternative styles, mention babelbib +Label multirow: mention the case of multicolumn-multirow +Label music: correct Web output of package list at end of answer +Label oarglikesect: mention kernel command @dblarg +Label secthead: rewritten accounts of sectsty & titlesec +Label tutbitslatex: added pointer to Fauske's page on PGF/TikZ +Label watermark: noted that package draftcopy doesn't work with pdflatex, +Label watermark: mention draftwatermark +Label whatbst: correct reed.edu link Bugfix: +Release dates are now represented in ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd) -- previously we used the LaTeX format, using solidus instead of hyphen Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
