Scott Pakin submitted an update to the ctanify package.

The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution of TeX. By popular demand, version 1.9 adds a --no-tds option to suppress inclusion of the ZIP file in the tarball. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ctanify The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/ctanify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Version number: 2017-01-09 License type: lppl1.2 Summary description: Create new key-value syntax Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This small package supports key-value syntax other than the standard latex syntax of <key>=<value>.

What's new: (2017/01/03) The delimiters for the optional first argument of cxkvsetkeys is changed from the standard `[]' to `()'. Also, if no key-value of the special type (such as <key>:<value> or <key>-><value>) is detected, the whole argument is passed to setkeys. This means that either the new key-value pairing or the standard pairing may be used; cxkvsetkeys{lname:Story} or cxkvsetkey{lname=Story} both work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/conv-xkv More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/conv-xkv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
