by Jim Hefferon 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and will make its way to your local mirror in a day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ==================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: refstyle Author's name: Danie Els Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/refstyle Summary description: Advanced formatting of cross references License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The refstyle provides a consistent way of producing references throughout a project. Enough flexibility is provided to make local changes to a single reference. The user can configure his or own setup. It has a direct interface to VARIOREF and namedref's from the NAMEDREF package can easily be incorporated (if needed). For large projects such as a series of books or a multi volume thesis, written as freestanding documents, a facility is provided to interface to the XR package for external document references. The REFSTYLE package is BABEL compliant in that all language definitions are added to the extras<langauge> token list, enabling local and global language changes through the BABEL language changing commands. Afrikaans and English definitions are provided --- any other contributions will be appreciated. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

tug.ctan.org downtime
by Jim Hefferon 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

The tug.ctan.org machine will go down this Thursday, Apr 17, at perhaps 3:00 pm local (US Eastern) and remain down for some time. This machine runs the http://www.ctan.org web interface, and is also known as ctan.tug.org. The reason for the downtime is that our entire campus will lose power for at least two days and the Easter weekend was judged a good time to do this. I may be able to get in on Sat morning and bring the machine back up but I need to leave town that day and if power is not back by then, the machine may not reappear until Tuesday morning. I apologize for the inconvienence. The other two ctan nodes will be up at ftp.tex.ac.uk and ftp.dante.de. Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org
