New CTAN Package: langcode
by CTAN Announcements 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

On Thu, 20 Sep 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the langcode package. Summary description: language-dependent settings based on language codes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `langcode.sty' in the first instance provides a command uselangcode{<chars>} to adjust language-dependent settings, such as key words, typographical conventions, and language codes (ISO-639-1). An author frequently writing documents in two or more languages can use the same commands independently of the language, provided they are gathered in a list macro to be used by the `dowith' package. If `<cmd>' is in the list, it is set to work like `<chars><cmd>', and a macro `langcode' will expand to <chars> (the respective tokens), usable in URLs. The package is ``generic, based on `plainpkg'. The code has been used with `morehype' and `catchdq' (`catcodes'), but may be useful more generally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/langcode .

New on CTAN: catcodes
by CTAN Announcements 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

On Thu, 20 Sep 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the catcodes package. Summary description: generic handling of category codes (private letters, active characters) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The `catcodes' bundle deals with category code switching. The contained packages should work with LaTeX as well as without (based on the `plainpkg' package). The important cases of category codes are (a) private letters for internal package commands and (b) active characters. `stacklet.sty' deals with (a), `actcodes.sty' with (b). There also is (c) `catchdq.sty', an application of (b), for automatic insertion of typographical double quotes when the user only enters ASCII double quotes. What is typographical differs between languages, the new `langcode' package completes `catchdq''s functionality in this respect. See README for documentation and similar (more comprehensive) packages. Some macros and code are moving here from the `morehype' and `nicetext' bundles, attempting to improve all of them. It may take some weeks to upload my most recent versions of the latter bundles to render the public versions compatible which each other again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/catcodes .

On Thu, 20 Sep 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the plainpkg package. Summary description: minimal method for making generic packages License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `plainpkg.tex' provides a minimal method for making generic packages, combining `maybeload' functionality, fallback definitions for ProvidesPackage and RequirePackage, and handling of arbitrary (multiple) private letters in nested package files. The documentation contains a central reference for making and using generic packages based on `plainpkg.tex'. For catcode stacks, the package actually requires stacklet.sty (new catcodes bundle). See README for related (more comprehensive) packages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/plainpkg .
