Summary description: A Visual LaTeX FAQ
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Having trouble finding the answer to a LaTeX question -- or struggling
to find the words to express your question? The Visual LaTeX FAQ is
an innovative new search interface that presents over a hundred
typeset samples of frequently requested document formatting. Simply
click on a hyperlinked piece of text that matches what you want to
achieve -- or what you want to prevent -- and the Visual LaTeX FAQ
will send your Web browser to the appropriate page in the UK TeX FAQ.
The 2015-10-15 version of the Visual LaTeX FAQ includes the following
improvements:
* support for newer TeX distributions
* higher-resolution bitmapped images
* workaround for the UK TeX FAQ's loss of its label=A+B+C feature
* visualization for Facing floats on 2-page spread (label=dpfloat)
* visualization for Numbers too large in table of contents, etc.
(label=tocloftwrong)
* visualization for The format of the Table of Contents, etc.
(label=tocloft)
* visualization for Repeating a command n times (label=repeat-num)
* visualization for Repeating something for each 'thing' in a set
(label=repeat-set)

License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Extends eTeX’s
umexpr...
elax construct to big integers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package bnumexpr allows _expandable_ computations with big integers,
the four infix operators +, -, *, / (which does rounded division), the
power operators ^ or **, the factorial !, the truncated division //, and
its associated modulo /:.
For example:
hebnumexpr (92874927979^5-3197927979^6)/30!
elax
outputs -4006240736596543944035189.
By default the underlying arithmetic macros are the ones provided by
package xintcore [1] (its release 1.2 is required).
[1] http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint
bnumexpr has only one option _custom_ which says to not load xintcore,
and a command numexprsetup to inform the package which macros to use
if not those from xintcore.
This is a breaking release: some options and commands from v1.1 are not
defined anymore (as numexprsetup provides a new interface), and
documents which used them will need updating.

package.
Version number: 1.2 2015-10-10
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- the basic arithmetic implemented in xintcore has been entirely
rewritten. The mathematics remains the elementary school one, but
the TeX implementation achieves higher speed (except, regarding
addition/subtraction, for numbers up to about thirty digits), the
gains becoming quite significant for numbers with hundreds of
digits.
- the inputs must have less than 19959 digits. But computations with
thousands of digits take time.
- a previously standing limitation of the expression parsers to
numbers with less than 5000 digits has been lifted.
- new macro for computing the factorials (of integers) as floating
point numbers, to which the ! postfix operator inside xintfloatexpr
is mapped.
- the macros xintAdd, xintSub, ..., now require package xintfrac.
With only xintcore or xint loaded, one _must_ use xintiiAdd,
xintiiSub, ..., or xintiAdd, xintiSub, etc...
- an effort at randomly shuffling around various pieces of the
documentation has been done.
