(though keeping LaTeX quality.) No more backslashes, technical terms, and curly braces! (so clumsy on PC keyboards) ... Main focus now is easy *documentation of LaTeX packages*. Preprocessing by 'Perl' or so is replaced by TeX macros (reviving/generalizing the 'docstrip' idea). 'fifinddo.sty' provides setup for txt -> TeX preprocessing macros including *expandable* sequences of safe, correct string substitions. 'fifinddo.pdf' mathematically characterizes wrong substring detection by 'substr.sty' as well as by LaTeX's internal `in@'.

CTAN Update: accfonts
by CTAN Announcements 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

On Tue, 7 Apr 2009 John Smith submitted an update to the accfonts package. Location on CTAN: /fonts/utilities/accfonts Summary description: Utilities to derive new fonts from existing ones License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The accfonts package contains three utilities to permit easy manipulation of fonts, in particular the creation of unusual accented characters. Mkt1font works on Adobe Type 1 fonts, vpl2vpl works on TeX virtual fonts and vpl2ovp transforms a TeX font to an Omega one. All three programs read in a font (either the font itself or a property list), together with a simple definition file containing lines such as ‘128 z acute’; they then write out a new version of the font with the requested new characters in the numerical slots specified. Great care is taken over the positioning of accents, and over the provision of kerning information for new characters; mkt1font also generates suitable “hints” to enhance quality at small sizes or poor resolutions. The programs are written in Perl. See the file CHANGES for information about this update. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/utilities/accfonts .

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: IEEEconf Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/IEEEconf Summary description: Class file for IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEEconf class implements the formatting dictated by the IEEE Computer Society Press for conference proceedings (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct8.5x11.pdf). IEEEconf.cls replaces latex8.sty and is compatible with any BibTeX style, not just latex8.bst. The goal was to produce a more faithful implementation of the formatting rules and to do so with cleaner LaTeX code than that provided by the latex8.* files. Version 1.4 of IEEEconf.cls includes a few changes to better match the IEEE Computer Society Press's latest formatting requirements, a latex8 class option that retains latex8.sty's incorrect but more space-efficient title formatting, and support for the onecolumn class option in case an author wants to use the multicolumn package along with the IEEEconf class. Thanks to Oliver Kopp for proposing latex8 and onecolumn support and for helping with testing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEconf .
