CTAN submission -- typogrid.sty
by Reinhard Zierke 31 Oct '03

31 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded typogrid-1_00.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains the new package typogrid.sty (License LPPL) which I suggest to put to CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/typogrid. >From the README: This package produces a typographic grid on every page of the document. That grid consists of vertical lines that devide the text block into columns. This may be useful to get the horizontal measures (distances etc.) into good values. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new package as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/typogrid Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

[emanuelevicentini@yahoo.it: GuIT logo package]
by Reinhard Zierke 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Emanuele Vicentini ----- I've uploaded in incoming/ a little compressed tarball (guit.tar.gz) containing source and documentation of guit.sty, a package to typeset GuIT's logo. The package is released under the LPPL. I'd suggest to store tarball's contents in macros/latex/contrib/ Here's an extract from the README file: The guit.sty package provides some commands useful to correctly write the logo of Gruppo Utilizzatori Italiani di TeX (Italian TeX User Group), using the default document color or any other color the user may ever choose, in conformity with logo's scheme as seen on the Group site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Likewise, commands are available that simplify the writing of GuIT acronym's complete expansion and of the correct address of Group's internet site. Optionally, using hyperref, the outputs of the above cited commands can become hyperlinks to Group's site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Documentation available in Italian only. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed this package as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/GuIT/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
