CTAN Update: upquote
by CTAN Announcements 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

On Thu, 5 Apr 2012 Markus Kuhn submitted an update to the upquote package. Summary description: upright-quote and grave-accent glyphs in verbatim License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The upquote.sty LaTeX package changes the glyphs used by the verb and verb* macros and the verbatim and verbatim* environments for ASCII characters 27 and 60 to the upright quotation mark and grave accent ones required by Unicode, ISO 646, ISO 10646, and many other character set standards. This is particularly useful for typesetting software source code. The previous version 1.1 always used the textcomp package to produce the desired glyphs, which can trigger undesired side effects (use of tctt bitmap font). This new version 1.2 does not load any additional fonts as long as the default cmtt font is used in its original OT1 encoding. Only if the default font encoding or the tt font are changed, then textcomp.sty is loaded and used to select the replacement glyphs, as before. Benefit: the replacement glyphs come again by default all from cmtt, eliminating the unnecessary use of additional T1 fonts, which may exist only as bitmaps, may come with worse Type1 hinting, or cause other printing problems. There is now also PDF documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/upquote .

New CTAN package: bitelist
by CTAN Announcements 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

On Thu, 29 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the bitelist package. Summary description: split list at list inside in TeX's mouth License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `bitelist.sty' provides commands for splitting a token list at the first occurrence of a contained token list. I.e., for given token lists s, t return b and shortest a, such that t = a s b. As opposed to other packages providing similar features, (i) the method uses TeX's mechanism of reading delimited macro parameters; (ii) the splitting macros work by pure expansion, without assignments, provided the macro doing the search has been defined before processing (e.g., a file); (iii) instead of using one macro for a substring test and another one to replace the substring--which includes extracting corresponding prefix and suffix--, the *same* macro that detects the occurrence returns the split; (iv) e-TeX is not required. (And LaTeX is not required.) This improves `fifinddo.sty' (v0.51). An elaborated approach (additionally to a simpler one) is provided that does not loose outer braces of prefix/suffix. Substring detection and string replacement are (implicitly) included with respect to certain representations of characters by tokens. Counting occurrences and global replacement could be achieved by applying the operation to earlier results, etc.--so this approach seems to be fundamental for a certain larger set of list analysis tasks. The documentation aims to prove the correctness of the methods with mathematical rigour. KEYWORDs: macro programming, text filtering, substrings RELATED PACKAGEs: datatool, stringstrings, ted, texapi, xstring ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/bitelist .

Summary description: A LaTeX package for drawing arrows using PGF/TikZ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In mathematical texts that contain commutative diagrams created with PGF/TikZ, it might be disturbing that regular arrows (such as ightarrow) and the PGF/TikZ arrows in the diagrams have diﬀerent heads.

New CTAN Package: nicefilelist
by CTAN Announcements 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

On Fri, 23 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the nicefilelist package. Summary description: listfiles alignment for connoisseurs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While `longnamefilelist.sty' improves LaTeX's listfiles with respect to long base filenames only, the present `nicefilelist.sty' 'nicefilelist.sty' can keep separate columns for (i) date (ii) version, and (iii) caption (don't write caption text in date column), their alignment not being disturbed by short filename extensions such as `.fd'. This is achieved basing on the `monofill' package. Thus `nicefilelist' is more powerful than `longnamefilelist', the former however is an extension of the latter neither with respect to implementation nor with respect to user interface. See documentatin for details. The shortcomings of `longnamefilelist' were pointed out by Martin Muench. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicefilelist .

On Thu, 22 Mar 2012 Boris Veytsman submitted an update to the issuulinks package. Summary description: Produce External Links Instead of Internal Ones License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PDF visualizer ISSUU (http://issuu.com) is a popular service allowing to show PDF documents ``one page a time''. Due to the way it is implemented, internal links in these documents are not allowed. Instead, they must be converted to external ones in the form http://issuu.com/action/page?page=PAGENUMBER. This package patches hyperref to produce external links in the required form instead of internal links created by ef, cite and other commands. Since the package redefines the internals of hyperref, you need to call it AFTER hyperref.

On Tue, 13 Mar 2012 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v2.3: - reimplemented pdfmarkupcomment by using soulpos.sty much better support of non standard text cases, like: wocolumn: feature request by: René Schwarz, Thomas Feller, Til Birnstiel setspace.sty: feature request by: Andrew Dawson enumerate, itemize, ... - added support for twocolumn mode in pdfsidelinecomment - added option local to pdfcommentsetup feature request by: Florent Chervet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

New CTAN Package: Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX (in Russian)
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

On Thu, 8 Mar 2012 Evgeny Baldin submitted the computer-typesetting-using-latex package. Summary description: The book Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX was published by the BHV-Petersburg (Russia) publishing house in 2008 under ISBN 978-5-9775-0230-6. Under the contract with the publishing house, I have now regained exclusive rights to the content and decided to publish it under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA 3.0). License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The book Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX was published by the BHV-Petersburg (Russia) publishing house in 2008 under ISBN 978-5-9775-0230-6. Under the contract with the publishing house, I have now regained exclusive rights to the content and decided to publish it under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA 3.0). Please contact me (E.M.Baldin(a)inp.nsk.su) if you require a different type of copyright license for your purposes. This book is a guide to using the LaTeX document preparation system. It describes the complete fundamentals of the typesetting and layout processes and covers at least 1300 LaTeX commands and about 750 packages, styles, and classes that can be used in the typesetting of any documents. It also deals with creating presentations, table layouts, inserting graphics, bibliography and index, and many other tasks. Specific examples demonstrate that publishing systems using LaTeX can handle projects of any scope and complexity. A major part of the book is devoted to the typesetting of mathematical text, which is the key differentiator of LaTeX compared to other word processors. The book was written completely and exclusively by means of LaTeX tools. As the author of both the content and the typesetting, I will greatly appreciate any comments and useful advice on improving the quality of the electronic version of the book. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/info/russian/computer-typesetting-using-latex .

On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 Javier Bezos submitted the soulpos package.

CTAN Update: paratype
by CTAN Announcements 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

On Thu, 23 Feb 2012, Pavel Farar submitted an update to the paratype package. Summary description: LaTeX support for free fonts by ParaType License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Added font PT Mono (currently just TrueType format). - My converted Type 1 version of fonts PT Sans and PT Serif is replaced by Type 1 fonts kindly provided by ParaType. It has two important advantages: First, they are of much higher quality. Second, the distribution of the fonts is not limited to TeX. - Added map file paratype-mixed.map that sets Type 1 version of PT Sans and PT Serif and TrueType version of PT Mono. It is just temporary sollution before I get Type 1 version of PT Mono. This map file may disappear in future releases of this package. - Added support for faked styles UprightItalic and Slanted of PT Serif. Requested by A. Jan Kutylowski. There are no font files containing these styles, the styles are generated on the fly. There is small incompatibility: In the previous version of paratype, if you requested slanted shape of PT Serif, it was replaced by italic shape. Now, there is both italic and slanted shape and they are different. - Removed f-ligatures from the TS1 and X2 encodings. They were set explicitely for all encodings on the command line, no matter if they were really needed. - The file paratype.sty sets PTMono-TLF as the default monospaced font. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/paratype .

On Mon, 20 Feb 2012 Igor A. Kotelnikov submitted an update to the gost package. Summary description: BibTeX styles to meet State Standards (GOSTs) of Russia License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nGOST is a bundle of BibTeX styles designed to meet State Standards (GOST) on information, librarianship and publishing issued by The Russian Federation and Interstate Committee of former USSR States. It may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. The latest version of this license is in http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version 2005/12/01 or later. GOST comprises 16 BibTeX styles to format bibliography in English, Russian and Ukrainian according to GOST 7.0.5-2008 and GOST 7.1-2003. Both 8-bit and Unicode (UTF-8) versions of each BibTeX style, in each case offering a choice of sorted and unsorted. Further, 2 more styles, |gost780| and |gost780s| styles (not conforming to effective standards) are retained for backwards compatibility. All BibTeX styles are derived from same master file |gost.dtx| by applying different set of options as shown in the table below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Style | utf8 | strict | modern | eprint | long | sort | natbib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gost780 | | | | | | | gost780s | | | | | | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gost2003 | | + | | + | | | gost2003s | | + | | + | | + | gost2008 | | | + | + | | | gost2008n | | | + | + | | | + gost2008l | | | + | + | + | | gost2008s | | | + | + | | + | gost2008ns | | | + | + | | + | + gost2008ls | | | + | + | + | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ugost2003 | + | + | | + | | | ugost2003s | + | + | | + | | + | ugost2008 | + | | + | + | | | ugost2008n | + | | + | + | | | + ugost2008l | + | | + | + | + | | ugost2008s | + | | + | + | | + | ugost2008ns | + | | + | + | | + | + ugost2008ls | + | | + | + | + | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Style | utf8 | strict | modern | eprint | long | sort | natbib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Gost2008| style is recommended for most applications. It corresponds to the currently effective Standard 7.0.5-2008. Librarians should use the style |gost2003| instead of |gost2008| to compile a library catalog to meet the Standard 7.1-2003. Use of other styles is explained in |gost.pdf|. What's new in version 1.2 (2012.02.22) 1. Code refactoring. All styles are now generated from single source file. 2. Support for GOST-7.1-2003. The field |medium| is added to reflect type of material. For most entry types |medium| defaults to |text|. 3. Support for |natbib| package. 4. Support for |natbib| package. 5. All modern styles are now compiled with the |eprint| option. What's new in version 1.1 (2012.01.21)} 1. Support for GOST 7.0.5-2008 and GOST 7.1-2003 is provided. 2. |@Online| entry is added to format a reference to electronic resource on Internet. 3. |@MastersThesis| entry is added to format a reference to master's thesis. |@DSciThesis| entry is added to format a reference to doctor of sciences thesis. 4. |Urldate|, |eprint|, |eprintclass|, |eprinttype| fields are added.
