tug.ctan.org now at utah
by CTAN Announcements 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Hello TeX folk, The host tug.ctan.org now resolves to the new official North American redistribution site at the University of Utah, thanks to long-time TeX stalwart Nelson Beebe, Pieter Bowman, and their institution's support. So, folks in North America (and maybe elsewhere) should consider tug.ctan.org when using an explicit CTAN host. By rsync: rsync://tug.ctan.org/CTAN/ rsync is by far the most efficient way to do transfers, but of course the site is also available by ftp and http: ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/ http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/ The Utah site is itself updated hourly, so there is no worry about stale material. As a reminder, there is the generic redirector http://mirror.ctan.org/ which should go to an up-to-date and nearby host. We recommend using this url in articles, mailing list posts, etc., to better balance CTAN traffic. For example, http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/ Great thanks also to Jim Hefferon for years of hosting the master North American mirror of (and participating in) CTAN at St. Michael's College.

CTAN Update: exsheets
by CTAN Announcements 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the exsheets package. Summary description: Yet another package for the creation of exercise sheets. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There has been a potentially breaking change: the {tasks} environment previously provided by ExSheets has been extracted into a package of its own (`tasks') now shipped with and being part of the exsheets bundle. This does not change any syntax per se. However, the options for the environment are no longer set with SetupExSheets but with settasks. Also the object that is used for the list template and its instances has been renamed from `exsheets-tasks' into `tasks'. Another breaking change while we're at it) is a syntax difference with the {tasks} environment: the optional argument for the number of columns is no longer set in braces but parentheses. This is deliberate as it reflects the optional nature of the argument better and is consistent with the syntax of NewTasks, too. Additionally the labels of the list got an additional offset of 1ex from the items which will lead to different visual output. In some cases this might actually lead to the most annoying changes. In this case say settasks{label-offset=0pt} which should cure things again. Unrelated with the above there have been improvements to the random selection of questions which seems to work properly now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/exsheets .

Summary description: Typesetting articles for the journal Philosopher's Imprint License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As said in its mission statement at http://www.philosophersimprint.org, ``Philosophers' Imprint is a refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by philosophy faculty at the University of Michigan, with the advice of an international Board of Editors, and published on the World Wide Web by the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for free, via the Internet.'' The journal used to accept manuscripts in Rich Text Format only. However, for many authors, especially from the field of logic, TeX seems to be a better choice. I was commissioned to write a LaTeX class for this journal. The aim of the class is to help authors to typeset their own articles in the ``Web-ready'' format. We do not assume the authors have any commercial fonts installed on their machines. The class uses only freely available and freely distributed fonts. Changes in version 1.3 - Added copyright licensing information Changes in version 1.2 - Added trailing slash to the title page URL Changes in version 1.1 - New formatting of journal URL - Better handling of footnotes - Use for microtype if exists ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/philosophersimprint .

CTAN Update: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2e [2013/01/10] This version should be the last one in the 1.2 series as it seems to correct most of the main problems which were introduced with the massive use of mathematically active characters in versions 1.2 and 1.2b. * It is indeed a thorny point when one wants to modify only in math mode how an active character acts, without breaking things. The package now does that /only/ if the activation appears to originate in the Babel system, as it is then possible to modify appropriately the Babel macros user@active<char> and ormal@char<char>. The relevant issues are discussed in section 2.10 of the user manual, in the test file testmathastextalphabets.tex, and in the source code comments to the macro mst@mathactivate. The inherent incompatibility of Babel with packages having made mathematically active the characters itself makes document active is circumvented by this interference of mathastext. A generally applicable Babel patch could be derived from the method used by mathastext. * The technique of mathematical activation is maintained only for the characters which are not catcode active (at the entrance in math mode, as mathastext does all its activation job at everymath and everydisplay). * Sadly, the feature of added italic corrections introduced in version 1.2b did not behave as described in the user manual, due to forgotten group braces. Fixed. * The command MTlowerast from the user manual of v1.2d was not the one implemented in the source code. Fixed. * The test files automatically extracted from a latex run on the dtx file have been revised and extended. * The code is better documented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .

These macros generate the full URLs from minimal identifiers (and memorizable macro names) in the site-specific way. The documentation contains several new examples. BLOG v0.81: * egin{enumtype}{<1/a/A/i/I>} resembling the `enumerate' package becomes official. * HTML entities added: soft hyphen (-), ...caron; (v), ...lig; (AE etc.) * Documentation of `markblog' in `blog.pdf' mentions alternative implementations of simplified/non-TeX markup (especially `interpreter'). BLOGEXEC v0.21: * The {noblog} environment becomes official.

CTAN Update: IEEEtrantools
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Michael Shell submitted an update to the ieeetrantools package. Summary description: The IEEEtrantools.sty package provides several commands from the IEEEtran.cls file so that they can be used under other LaTeX classes. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce the release of the v1.3 update to the IEEEtrantools LaTeX package. IEEEtrantools.sty provides several commands from IEEEtran.cls, including IEEEPARstart and the IEEEeqnarray family so that they may be used under other class files. Version 1.3 is based on version 1.8 of IEEEtran.cls. Notable changes include: 1) No longer redefines the standard LaTeX itemize, enumerate and description (IED) lists by default. (e.g., the older package option retainorgcmds is now the default behavior.) A new package option, redeflists, can be invoked to redefine the standard IED list environments to their IEEE versions. IEEEitemize, IEEEenumerate and IEEEdescription remain available in any case. The redeflists option may not be compatible with other packages that alter the standard IED list environments. 2) Added new *-forms of IEEEyesnumber*, IEEEnonumber*, IEEEyessubnumber*, and IEEEnosubnumber* (the non-star form of the latter is also new) which persist across IEEEeqnarray lines until countermanded. To provide for continued subequations across instances of IEEEeqnarrays as well as for subequations that follow a main equation (e.g., 14, 14a, 14b ...) IEEEyessubnumber no longer automatically increments the equation number on it's first invocation of a subequation group. Invoke both IEEEyesnumberIEEEyessubnumber together to start a new equation/subequation group. 3) Hyperref links now work with IEEEeqnarray equations. Thanks to Stefan M. Moser for reporting this problem. 4) Now provides the IEEEproof environment, as well as the IEEEQEDhere, IEEEQEDhereeqn and IEEEQEDoff commands. Also, IEEEproofindentspace allows users to change the IEEEproof indentation via enewcommand. Thanks to Mark D. Butala, Hennadiy Leontyev and Stefan M. Moser for suggesting this. Special thanks to Stefan M. Moser for beta testing and additional suggestions which improved IEEEproof. See the changelog.txt file for full details. Enjoy!

This is fixed here. * various improvements in dealing with the asterisk and in the mechanism of letting non-letter symbols obey the math alphabet commands. * documentation extended and improved. * mathastext now inserts automatically after all (latin) letters in math mode their italic corrections, if the font used is upright (sic). This improves the spacings for the positioning of subscripts. The feature is de-activated inside the math alphabets commands (apart from mathnormal), so as to not prohibit the formation of ligatures, * the documentation has been extended to explain in detail the issues which are relevant to the new feature of added italic corrections, * version 1.2 had some bad bugs when confronted to active characters. This is corrected and additionally MTnonletters- -donotobeymathxx is made the default, as the user input is too much constrained in its absence. * a less fatal, but still annoying, typo had made the dot in 1.2 of type mathpunct rather than mathord * the inner namespace has been rationalized a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/ .

CTAN Update mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * A new command sets up the amount of space to be automatically inserted before the derivative glyph (useful when using an upright font). * The scope of the math alphabets has been extended to apply to the non-alphabetical characters, and also to operator names. In usual math mode $mathbf{(sin(n!)<cos(x)?)}$ changes only the font for n and x. With mathastext and if not told otherwise, /everything/ in the formula above will respond to mathbf (and the automatic spaces are left untouched). * The documentation has been improved. The package file is self-extracting from the dtx, and four additional test files are also produced during `latex mathastext.dtx'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .

CTAN Update: etoc
by CTAN Announcements 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the etoc package. Summary description: easily customizable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.06 1. With previous versions, macros such as l@section recovered their standard meanings only in compatibility mode at the time of typesetting TOCs. With this version, it is the opposite: macros such as l@section or l@subsection have throughout the document their standard meanings, which means that they can be customized (even if no package has added to them customizing hooks) and that the compatibility mode of etoc will obey this. 2. The .toc file is now read into memory at the time of usepackage{etoc} and it is opened for write operation at the first TOC typesetting command. Prior, both happened at the egin{document}. 3. The commands added by the package to the .toc file are declared to the external world to do nothing. Hence some other package can also load the .toc file (this must happen before the first typeset TOC) and execute its contents. (related to the point 2 above.) 4. A number of superfluous global's and a few gdef's, which were left-overs from the war against bugs in the developing stages of the code, were removed. 5. The documentation has been updated and improved. An unclear statement about secnumdepth has been corrected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etoc .

As opposed to LaTeX’s internal @for, no assignments are involved (unless <cmd> uses assignments, expandability in TeX’s gullet).

II. Elsewhere in the document, ableofcontents ef{toc:A} will re-display the contents of the TOC with label toc:A (the ef is detected and swallowed by ableofcontents). III. One can also do ableofcontents label{toc:B} ef{toc:A} Then ef{toc:B} may be used elsewhere in the document to refer to this toc:B location (it just prints the number of the concerned TOC, but is of course an hyperlink if package hyperref has been loaded). The two TOCs with labels toc:A and toc:B will have the same contents but their layouts and titles are decided locally and may differ completely from one another. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etoc .

New on CTAN: etoc
by CTAN Announcements 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted the etoc package to CTAN. Summary description: easily customizable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The etoc package gives the user complete control on how the entries of the table of contents should be constituted from the name, number, and page number of each sectioning unit. This goes via the definition of line styles for each sectioning level used in the document. The package provides its own custom line styles as an example, next to the standard formatting inherited from the LaTeX document classes. But the idea is to give the means to the user to delegate the details to packages dealing with list making environments (such as enumitem). Regarding the global style, etoc typesets by default tables of contents in a multi-column format, with either a standard heading, or a ruled title, optionally with a frame around the table of contents. The ableofcontents command can be used arbitrarily many times in the same document, and comes with a starred variant which gives local table of contents. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etoc . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/etoc (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
