The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: program.sty version 3.3.11 Author's name: Martin Ward Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/program Summary description: A style file for typesetting programs in maths mode with indentation License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a copy of my LaTeX2e style file for typesetting programs and algorithms in my favourite style without having to type in endless tabbing commands. Each line is set in math mode so all the indentation and spacing is done automatically. The notation |variable_name| can be used within normal text, maths expressions or programs to indicate a variable name. Use origbar to get a normal | symbol in a program. The commands A, B, R, T and typeset the corresponding bold letter with the next object as a substript (eg S1 typesets {f S$_1$} etc). They now cope with primes as well, (eg $S2'''$). The program.sty file can be easily edited to reflect your favoured style. Typesetting a program is as easy as: (IF x e 0 THEN |long_name|_{123} = x^y FI) See the program-demo.tex file for examples. The file should work with or without AMSLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/program .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ionumbers Author's name: Christian Schneider Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers Summary description: restyle numbers in math mode License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `ionumbers' stands for `input/output numbers'. This package restyles numbers in math mode. If a number in the input file is written, e.g., as |$3,231.44$| as commonly used in English texts, this package is able to restyle it to be output as `$3,231{,}44$' as commonly used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be very useful, if you have a large table and want to include it in texts with different output conventions without the need of changing the table. Furthermore this package can automatically group digits left to the decimal separator (thousands) and right to the decimal separator (thousandths) in triplets without the need of specifing commas (English) or points (German) as separators. E.g., the input |$1234.567890$| can be output as `$1,234.,567,890$'. Finally, an |e| starts the exponent of the number. For example, |$21e6$| may be output as `$26 imes10,^{6}$'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cfr-lm Author's name: Clea F. Rees Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm Summary description: Enhanced support for GUST's Latin Modern fonts. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is experimental. The package supports a number of features of the Latin Modern fonts which are not easily accessible via the default (La)TeX support provided in the official distribution. In particular, the package supports the use of the various styles of digits available, small-caps and upright italic shapes, and alternative weights and widths. It also supports variable width typewriter and the quotation font. By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits and variable width typewriter but this can be changed by passing appropriate options to the package. The package also supports using e.g. different styles of digits within a document so it is possible to use proportional oldstyle digits by default, say, but tabular lining digits within a particular table. See the README for details. The package requires the official Latin Modern distribution, including ts (La)TeX support. The package relies on the availability of both the fonts themselves and the official font support files. Only the T1 and TS1 encodings are supported for text fonts. The set up of fonts for mathematics is identical to that provided by Latin Modern. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm .

It is intended mainly for test purposes, and not as a true input encoding mechanism taking advantage of the possibilities provided by LuaTeX. When used with LuaTeX, you can use two encodings--namely latin1 and utf8. It will give wrong results with the T1 font encoding, because fontenc relies on the LICR, so a lua-fontenc is on the way. With the package option activechars, it calls inputenc, and the LICR mechanism based on active chars is used. With standard TeX, lua-inputenc just calls inputenc (ie, activechars is the default). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/lualatex/lua-inputenc .

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: latexmk Author's name: John Collins Location on CTAN: /support/latexmk Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation program License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document. An important feature is its preview continuous mode, where it watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX etc whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can have an updated display whenever the source files change. The new version (4.01) has important improvements over the previous released version (3.07a): 1. A new method of detecting when a new run of latex is required. This deals robustly with certain macro packages that generate and then read in the generated files on a subsequent run of latex/pdflatex. 2. Much better configurability of the external commands invoked by latexmk. 3. Indexing works with packages multind, and index, as well as makeidx. 4. Many bug fixes and smaller improvements in response to user requests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/latexmk .

CTAN has a new package: keys3
by CTAN Announcements 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

The package below has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: keys3 Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/explt/keys3 Summary description: Key management for LaTeX3 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The keys3 package is an experimental implementation of key management for LaTeX3. The entire package is written in expl3 code rather than in traditional TeX/LaTeX. The key module used by keys3 is based on that introduced by the pgfkeys package from the pgf/TiKZ bundle. Keys are thus addressed in a path-like manner, and are controlled by key properties: /module/key/.code:n = <code>, /module/key/.value required:, /module/key = <value> The keys3 package is intended as a method for testing how key management might be implemented in LaTeX3. Both the methods used inside the package and the interface provided are intended to be discussed. Feedback is welcomed either by e-mail (joseph.wright(a)morningstar2.co.uk) or at the package website (http://keys.berlios.de). The experimental nature of keys3 and the underlying expl3 system means that it should not be used in production documents. However, programmers testing expl3, or keen to work on improved key management systems, are encouraged to try the package and provide feedback. keys3 is *not* an official LaTeX3 team package. Whether any of the ideas explored here will be taken up by the team is therefore unknown. However, the keys3 package should provide ideas on what needs to be available for key management and how it can be implemented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/explt/keys3 .
