New on CTAN: pdftricks2
by CTAN Announcements 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

Christian Reibiger submitted the pdftricks package Summary description: A LaTeX package to use PSTricks code with PDF output. License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides automatization facilities to use the pstricks package with pdflatex. It is intended to be of easy use and interoperability with latex and pdflatex, namely both show the same result. The pdftricks2 package circumvents the problem that pdflatex can not handle ps-code by writing an extra latex file that contains only the figure. This files are converted to dvi to ps and then to pdf. Finally the resulting pdf-pictures are included in the text as a graphic. This process can be handled automatically by the package but it needs to have the possibility to execute system commands (start pdflatex with option--enable-write18 or -shell-escape). If you do not want to grant this rights you still can use the package but you have to execute a shell script the package writes yourself to produce the pdf-pictures. In this case you have to run pdftex again to include the pictures in your document. The package tries to show the same results when used with latex as for pdflatex. However there are some side effects of using this package as described in the documentation. Although this package is inspired by the pdftricks package, it is coded from scratch. The pdftricks package has some flaws that are circumvented by pdftricks2. For example you have to gather all configurations you need for your pictures in one place. Furthermore it is not possible to share configuration code between your figures and the main text. Also the pdftricks package does not use the provided limits of the figure you produce but rather assumes it fits on a standard page and cuts everything away that does not look like being important. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pdftricks2 . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdftricks2 (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 .

CTAN Update: nicefilelist
by CTAN Announcements 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Uwe Lück submitted an update to the nicefilelist package. Summary description: listfiles alignment with date and version columns License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the output from LaTeX's listfiles, `nicefilelist.sty' keeps separate columns for (i) date, (ii) version, and (iii) caption of LaTeX source files according to their Provides... statements. The alignment is not disturbed by long base filenames or short filename extensions such as `.fd'. The specification is Martin Muench's. v0.7 deals with another challenge from the latter: a package option `[wrap]' provides automatic word wrapping within the caption column, so filenames and captions can be quite long without disturbing the alignment. For this purpose, I finally resort to a package not invented here: `hardwrap' by Will Robertson and Kevin Godby. As opposed to the `dateiliste' package, this is in fact about the plain text output in the .log file or, with the `myfilist' package, as a stand-alone plain text file. LICENSE: LPPL 1.3, no responsibility can be accepted when your monitor bursts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicefilelist .

UPLOAD of v0.7 as of 2012-10-17 (2012-10-18): * New option -c adds test of date consistency with the `filedate' package and may thus be a way to check date consistency with XeLaTeX (where pdffilemoddate is not available ... may be silly ...). * Indeed new option -x uses `xelatex' rather than `latex' (see manual `adhocfilelist.htm' for discussion of possible silliness -- somewhat missing in `filedate' discussion). * Some documentation mistakes have been corrected. * srcfiles.tex checks date consistency for scripts and documentation and lists what is used indeed (but cf. makehtml.log from recent makehtml.tex). * `adhocfilelist.RLS' provides a release summary with `typeoutfileinfo', appearing in SrcFILEs.txt too. v0.8 should allow -c with an explicit list of filenames ... UPLOAD r0.3 (2012-10-19): * added present RELEASE.txt (started for v0.7) * corrected adhocfilelist.tds.zip * added `filedate' checks in makehtml.tex, additionally to those in srcfiles.tex * listfiles in makehtml.tex (HTML driver) more careful, using `nicefilelist', for comparison with SrcFILEs.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/adhocfilelist .

20 Oct '12

Uwe Lück submitted the filedate package to CTAN. Summary description: Access and compare info and modification dates License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `filedate.sty' provides basic access to the date of a LaTeX source file according to its ProvidesFile, ProvidesPackage, or ProvidesClass entry -- the info date --, as well as to its modification date according to pdffilemoddate if the latter is available. Moreover commands are provided to compare the info date with the modification date, with today's date, or with another date that a script accessing modifica- tion dates such as adhocfilelist.sh may insert, and to choose the effect of comparisons (error vs. notice, reference date characterization). Thus updating the info date (date con- sistency) of a source file may be ensured by a test during typesetting from it or by some (shell/TeX) script. In fact the test today admonished me to update the documentation source and driver `filedate.tex'. Another motivating example of date inconsistency was `nicefilelist' v0.6 as of 2012-10-11 (see version history) with info date 2012/10/03.

17 Oct '12

Uwe Lück submitted the adhocfilelist package to CTAN. Summary description: listfiles entries from command line License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `adhocfilelist.sh' is a shell script to display a list of LaTeX Provides... contents on screen. Parameters can be either a list of comma-separated file names or criteria for the Unix `find' utility, especially to restrict the list to LaTeX source files modified <digits> days ago, such as today. Command line options provide interfaces to the find utility and to packages `myfilist', `longnamefilelist', and `nicefilist' for accessing and aligning those file informations. DOCUMENTATION: The manual `adhocfilelist.htm' can be read by a web browser, and the command line option `-h' provides an abridged version of it. REQUIRED: This works on Unix-like systems only, and probably the GNU version of `find' is required. The LaTeX bundle `fileinfo' must be installed, and full functionality requires the LaTeX packages `longnamefilelist' and `nicefilelist'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/adhocfilelist .
