Interim release of uk tex faq on ctan and web
by Robin Fairbairns 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

this morning i found a significant bug in the way the faq's tex->html translator works; i needed to correct both the script and the source. as a side-effect the new version (3.11c) has one new answer (about the error message alignment tab has been converted to cr). the new versions are at the same place as ever: web: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq ctan: help/uk-tex-faq Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN & FAQ teams

CTAN submission -- chroma

----- Forwarded message from ctan-upload ----- Name of contribution: chroma Name and email: Uwe Kern <chroma(a)ukern.de> Suggested location on CTAN: info/colour/chroma Summary description: Chroma: a reference book of LaTeX colors License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.00 (2004/04/04) This reference book presents several lists of colors and their respective parameters in a number of color models. The lists are constructed either by parameters or by name. `Colors by parameters' displays systematic series of colors, based on 3-tuples of numbers that are interpreted as color parameters in the `rgb', `cmy', and `hsb' color models. `Colors by name' displays sets of colors that have been given specific names such that LaTeX users do not have to care about their parametrisation. However, as soon as there is the intention to use these colors outside the LaTeX world (e.g. website construction or drawing programs), the parameters suddenly gain importance. For each color name, we display - the color itself plus the name of the underlying model, - a 50%-tint (mixture with `white'), - a 50%-tone (mixture with `gray'), - a 50%-shade (mixture with `black'), - and the complementary color. Additionally, for the base colors defined by the `xcolor' package, also all 50%-mixes of base color pairs are included. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XML file: ********************************************************************** <?xml version=1.0?> <!DOCTYPE entry SYSTEM ../catalogue.dtd> <entry id=chroma datestamp=2004/04/04 modifier=ftpmaint(a)dante.ctan.org> <about> <name>chroma</name> <caption>Chroma: a reference book of LaTeX colors</caption> <author> <name>Uwe Kern</name> <email>chroma(a)ukern.de</email> </author> <license type=lppl /> </about> <description> <abstract> v1.00 (2004/04/04) This reference book presents several lists of colors and their respective parameters in a number of color models.

CTAN submission -- ctable 1.6a
by Reinhard Zierke 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Wybo Dekker ----- I have uploaded ctable-1.6a.tar.gz at ftp.dante.de - ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered 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-1.6.tar.gz - unpack in macros/latex/contrib/ctable - LPPL - changes (relative to v1.6): 2 errors were corrected: * fboxsep and fboxrule changes made temporary * extra space behind tabulars removed ----- End forwarded message ----- Thank you for the upload.
