CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

On Mon, 30 Nov 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v1.5b: - new option deadline -> new list styles with deadline feature request by: Michael Niedermair ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Old american inductor now called cute inductor - *backward incompatibility* transformer now linked with the chosen type of inductor, and version with core, too.

CTAN update: PerlTeX
by CTAN Announcements 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

This should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ................................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: PerlTeX Version number: 2.0 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/perltex/ Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability. Version 2.0 (not a major release, just the version after 1.9) of PerlTeX fixes two bugs. First, user code can now safely change the current directory. Second, multi-paragraph error output is now reported correctly. Thanks to Przemyslaw Wesolek for providing a bug report and minimal example that triggered both bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex/ .

CTAN update: comprehensive
by CTAN Announcements 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

This should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List Version number: 11.0 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /info/symbols/comprehensive Summary description: Symbols accessible from LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is an organized list of over 5900 symbols commonly available to LaTeX users. Some of these symbols are guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution. Others require font files that come with some, but not all, TeX distributions. The rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org/) and installed. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List currently showcases symbols from 130 separate typefaces. This new release of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List (version 11.0) is a particularly exciting one. At long last the document has been fully hyperlinked! (This was not a simple manner of including a usepackage{hyperref}; the document was filled with constructs that confused hyperref.) The list contain almost a thousand more symbols than before (a 20% increase), new how to prose in the Additional Information section, an expanded index with more see... entries, and other features designed to help the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List live up to its name. Enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive .
