CTAN update: poemscol 2.3
by CTAN Announcements 19 May '05

19 May '05

On Wed, 18 May 2005 John Burtsubmitted an update to his poemscol package, containing macros for critical editions of poetry. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/poemscol License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Poemscol 2.3 adds the ability make linenumbers for prose sections such as the author's introduction or for prose poems. Footnotes or endnotes of various kinds can be made for prose sections just as for poetry. Solved the problem which sometimes caused the ``missing number'' error on first runs. Changed the names of some counters, in order to make poemscol compatible with lineno. This makes version 2.3 slightly incompatible with versions 2.26 and earlier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

The program may be of interest for pdfLaTeX users creating posters, flyers having colored background. This release contains a documentation update only, the program code was not changed.

Re: CTAN upload notification: lineno.sty/ednotes.sty (critical editions, revising submittings)
by CTAN Announcements 18 May '05

18 May '05

On Tue, 17 May 2005 Uwe Lück uploaded an update to his lineno package. This package adds line numbers to selected paragraphs with reference possible through the LaTeX ef and pageref cross reference mechanism. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/lineno License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGES for lineno.sty v4.3 2005/05/16: 1. Option `displaymath' (proper numbering at paragraphs containing math displays) becomes default (`obsolete'. 2. Compatibility with hyperref now indeed (at least much more). 3. Tidied up documentation: terrible confusion of ewcounter vs. stepcounter; sections on the same matter written at different times; ... 4. Additional internal improvements that perhaps hardly are observable (no more spurious linenumbers in math displays from vertical mode; some compatibity with packages that use holdinginserts; linelabel in headings etc.). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
