On Sat, 2 Jun 2012 Boris Veytsman submitted an update to the philosophersimprint package. Summary description: LaTeX Class for Philosophers' Imprint journal 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 1.1 - New formatting of journal URL - Better handling of footnotes - Use for microtype if exists Changes in version 1.2 - Added trailing slash to the title page URL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/philosophersimprint .

Beispiele: Metallegierung => Me-tallegie-rung Stilleben => Stilleben Aber: Brennessel => Brennes-sel Stoffetzen => Stoffet-zen #### Paket * Wenn pTeX verwendet wird, werden nun kompatible Trennmuster aus dem Paket `hyph-utf8` geladen. (Das Paket `hyph-utf8` verwendet die Trennmuster dieses Pakets. Es kann sich dabei jedoch um eine andere Version der Muster handeln.) * Die Dateien `projektbeschreibung.*` wurden entfernt.

CTAN Update: morehype
by CTAN Announcements 30 May '12

30 May '12

On Wed, 30 May 2012, Uwe Lück submitted an update to the morehype package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAJOR CHANGES: - The pure expansion limitation for the `blog.sty' way to HTML is overcome by intercepting certain commands such as EXECUTE, egin, and end (configurable). So you can introduce shorthand macros specific for a certain web page within its source `.tex' file, or even limited to an environment. And environment nesting is checked! And we introduce certain nice active characters for an intuitive table syntax. - We also use intercepting to support ligatures (`--', `---', `...', ...) and some Wikipedia and Markdown markup (font switching, highlighting by colours, Wikipedia links). Parsing can be enabled within macro arguments by modifying the two backbone macros that implement short HTML elements. This way, `blog.sty' becomes fun (but also slow ...) ... - A kind of minimalist multilanguage approach based on languages codes and the `dowith' package for adjusting language-dependent settings is used. Unfortunately, this upload is somewhat hasty, in order to provide the files generating `latexfileinfo_pkgs.htm' (`latexfileinfo-pkgs'). Some of the powerful code must later move from the patch file `texblog.fdf' into proper packages and be documented better. MINOR CHANGES: - `atari_ht.fdf' replaces `atari.fdf' to use HTML entities for umlauts instead of relying on the encoding declaration - `blog.sty' accesses some more characters than before - `texlinks.sty' uses langcode for Wiki... + minor additions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/morehype .

On Sun, 20 May 2012, Zdeněk Wagner submitted an update to the zwpagelayout package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package was developed as a typographers toolbox offering the most important features for everyday work.

Finally it is possible to reflect pages both horizontally and vertically. Partial PDF/X conformance is implemented and black overprint is enabled in pdfTeX, dvips, as well as (x)dvipdfm(x) drivers, i.e in XeLaTeX. Version 1.4a is a bug fix, an infinite loop occured if a user requested nonexistent page style (e.g. as a result of a misprint). Version 1.4 implements black overprint for (x)dvipdfm(x) family of drivers, i.e. it now works also with XeLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/zwpagelayout .
