CTAN submission -- TrueType with teTeX tutorial
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file ttf-tetex.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please replace the files in CTAN:info/TrueType/ by its contents. This upload contains the tutorial Using TrueType fonts with teTeX and dvips that describes how to use TrueType fonts with teTeX, actually by converting them to Postscript Type 1 fonts. It is not described how to use TrueType fonts directly. The section about updmap has been changed since it has been outdated in the old version. In order to save disk space, the postscript version of the description has been omitted (there is a pdf version that should be enough). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload; I installed the new version as suggested.

CTAN submission -- numprint v1.10
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file numprint-1_10.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains a new version of the numprint package. Please replace all files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/numprint by its contents. And ignore the file numprint-1_00.tar.gz that I have uploaded a few days ago. License stays LPPL. >From the README: Print numbers with a separator every three digits and convert numbers given as 12345.6e789 to 12,345,6cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach 12,345.6 imes 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to a given number of digits. If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the number format. Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and after the formatted number. If you prefer to use the old version 0.32 you may use numprint032.sty which will stay fixed. The main new features are automatic language support and a really usable tabular alignment. Change log: - 1.10 2003/10/12 New tabular aligment mechanism (now comparable to dcolumn and rccol) with full support of all numprint formats. Math version npbold which aligns with normal math alphabet. Don't use substr package. Provide pmakebox command that works as makebox but takes a text instead of a length for calculating its width. - 1.00 2003/10/07 Automatically add a plus to numbers without sign. Define shortcut p for umprint on demand. Automatic support for different number formats in different languages (already supported are English and German). Better argument parsing. Automatically don't separate degree sign from number. Customize input characters (decimal sign, exponent character). Define a list of ignored characters. User defined signs exceeding +,-, and pm. Load configuration file if present. Improved calculation of box width for mantissa and exponent. Entirely new implementation (about 90% new code). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested replacing the old one in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/numprint Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: ellipsis
by Jim Hefferon 11 Oct '03

11 Oct '03

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: ellipsis Author's name: Peter J. Heslin Location on CTAN: tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ellipsis Summary description: A LaTeX package to fix the uneven spacing around ellipses in text mode License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a simple package that fixes a problem in the way LaTeX handles ellipses: it always puts a tiny bit more space after dots in text mode than before it, which results in the ellipsis being off-center when used between two words. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ellipsis although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN has a new package: BibTeX Database Generator
by Jim Hefferon 09 Oct '03

09 Oct '03

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in a day or two. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: BibTeX Database Generator Author's name: Pallav Gupta Location on CTAN: support/bibtex-gen Summary description: A simple interactive script to generate BibTeX Files. License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just an interactive script that I use in my Latex work to generate Bibtex files. I do not like typing all the unnecessary details nor do I like copying and then modifying entries. So I wrote this small script to help you type only what you need in your (customized) bibliographies and generate a file which contains all the extra info. I just wanted to share it. Who knows, some might find it useful. Note that its not a bibtex file parser! I'll be happy to make improvments if someone (besides me) ever gets around to using it. You're welcome to email me to provide suggestions. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/bibtex-gen although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

Plain TeX macro: figflow -- flow text around a figure
by Robin Fairbairns 04 Oct '03

04 Oct '03

recently, in response to a post on comp.text.tex, Ian Hutchinson posted a short piece of code to do this job. the abstract i've written for the catalogue says Provides a Plain TeX macro figflow that allows one to insert a figure into an area inset into a paragraph. Command arguments are width and height of the figure, and the figure (and its caption) itself. (Does not work with LaTeX.) i asked (and was given) permission to put the file on ctan, and have installed it on ctan in directory macros/plain/contrib/figflow Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
