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.

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/ .

just as massenet prepares werther to kill himself (on the radio), up pops the daemon and says: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: expl3 > Author's name: LaTeX Team > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/expl3 > Summary description: Low-level LaTeX3 programming conventions > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > The expl3 bundle: Low-level LaTeX3 programming conventions > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > The files of the expl3 bundle provide a low-level API for TeX > programmers with special syntax conventions, completely > separating it from document level syntax.
