New on CTAN: selnolig
by CTAN Announcements 28 May '13

28 May '13

Mico Loretan submitted the selnolig package. Summary description: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures for English and German texts License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word opt{shelfful}, which is mentioned in the TeXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelf/ful rather than as shel{ff}ul. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called common ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and~ffl ligatures as well as the ft and~fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression macros for a number of so-called discretionary or rare ligatures such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLaTeX format provided by a recent TeX distribution such as TeXLive2012 or 2013 and MiKTeX2.9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/selnolig .

CTAN Update: spelling
by CTAN Announcements 24 May '13

24 May '13

Stephan Hennig submitted an update to the spelling package. Summary description: support for spell-checking of LuaTeX documents License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package supports spell-checking of TeX documents compiled with the LuaTeX engine. It can give visual feedback in PDF output similar to WYSIWYG word processors. The package relies on an external spell-checker application that can check a plain text file and output a list of bad spellings. The package should work with most spell-checkers, even dumb, TeX-unaware ones. v0.4 (2013-05-23) New features: - In addition to lists of bad and good spellings, words can be checked against user-defined match rules to determine highlighting status. Changes: - Removed means to configure EOL character of text output file. Standard Lua EOL character is always used, which is platform dependent. - Improved compatibility with recent LuaTeX versions (v0.74 and newer). - File <jobname>.spell.xml is loaded before file <jobname>.spell.bad (if both files exist). Fixes: - Bad words with surrounding punctuation haven't been highlighted. Determining whether a word needs to be highlighted is now done by checking against the lists of bad and good spellings words as they appear in the document with possible punctuation as well as with all surrounding punctuation stripped (GitHub issue 8). - Macro spellingoutputlinelength was broken. - Raising an error when a file cannot be opened for reading causes problems when compiling a document for the first time. Now, only a warning is written to the console and log file in that case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/spelling .

Scott Pakin submitted the wheretotrim package. Summary description: Help reduce page count by suggesting where to trim text License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wheretotrim is a Perl script and auxiliary LaTeX package that helps LaTeX users reduce their document's page count. It is intended to be used with documents that exceed a publisher's specified page-length limitation by a small amount (much less than a full column or page). wheretotrim reports the page and column on which the least amount of text needs to be trimmed to reduce the page count. It works by repeatedly rebuilding the given document, analyzing the benefit of trimming from each column or page one line of text, then two, then three, and so forth until the document's page count decreases. wheretotrim has been tested only on Linux. It might work on OS X. It probably won't work on Windows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/wheretotrim .

CTAN Update: exsol
by CTAN Announcements 13 May '13

13 May '13

Walter Daems submitted an update to the exsol package. Summary description: The package facilitates typesetting exercises and solutions from one LaTeX source to a separate solutions book. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The exsol package provides macros to allow for embedding exercises and solutions in the LaTeX source of an instructional text (e.g., a book or a course text) while generating the following separate documents: - your original text that only contains the exercises, and - a solution book that only contains the solutions to the exercises (a package option exists to also copy the exercises themselves to the solution book). The former is generated when running LaTeX on your document. This run writes the solutions to a secondary file that can be included into a simple document harness, such that when running LaTeX on the latter, you can generate a nice solution book. The code of the exsol package was taken almost literally from fancyvrb [http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb]. Therefore, all credits go to the authors/maintainers of fancyvrb. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/exsol .
