CTAN update: realscripts
by CTAN Announcements 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ................................................................................ Announcement: is requested Update summary: This small package replaces extsuperscript and extsubscript commands by equivalent commands that use OpenType font features to access appropriate glyphs if possible. Version 0.3 contains the following changes: * New commands extsubsuperscript and extsupersubscript added. * Fix an infinite loop bug added in the last version, triggered when loading the `xltxtra` package with the `[no-sscript]` option. extsubsuperscript (and friend) could actually be implemented as a separate package for pdfLaTeX as well. I'll consider releasing such a thing if there's feedback to do so :) Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/realscripts Caption: Access OpenType subscript and superscript glyphs. Description: This small package replaces extsuperscript and extsubscript commands by equivalent commands that use OpenType font features to access appropriate glyphs if possible. Also provides ` extsubsuperscript` (and ` extsupersubscript`) for setting subscripts and superscripts on top of each other. The package also patches LaTeX’s default footnote command to use this new extsuperscript for footnote symbols. The package requires fontspec running on either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. The package holds functions that were once parts of the xltxtra package, which now loads realscripts by default.

CTAN update: siunitx
by CTAN Announcements 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... Update summary: v2.0w: - Make S columns work with REVTeX Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/siunitx Caption: A comprehensive (SI) units package. Description: Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be used. However, different countries and publishers have differing conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units). A number of LaTeX packages have been developed to provide consistent application of the various rules: SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units are the leading examples. The numprint package provides a large number of number-related functions, while dcolumn and rccol provide tools for typesetting tabular numbers. The siunitx package takes the best from the existing packages, and adds new features and a consistent interface. A number of new ideas have been incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing provision. The package also provides backward-compatibility with SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one package to handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX users. The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the expl3 and xpackages bundles. Author: Joseph Wright License: lppl1.3 Name: siunitx Version: 2.0w ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/siunitx (this link may take a day to sync).
