CTAN has a new package: keys3
by CTAN Announcements 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

The package below has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: keys3 Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/explt/keys3 Summary description: Key management for LaTeX3 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The keys3 package is an experimental implementation of key management for LaTeX3. The entire package is written in expl3 code rather than in traditional TeX/LaTeX. The key module used by keys3 is based on that introduced by the pgfkeys package from the pgf/TiKZ bundle. Keys are thus addressed in a path-like manner, and are controlled by key properties: /module/key/.code:n = <code>, /module/key/.value required:, /module/key = <value> The keys3 package is intended as a method for testing how key management might be implemented in LaTeX3. Both the methods used inside the package and the interface provided are intended to be discussed. Feedback is welcomed either by e-mail (joseph.wright(a)morningstar2.co.uk) or at the package website (http://keys.berlios.de). The experimental nature of keys3 and the underlying expl3 system means that it should not be used in production documents. However, programmers testing expl3, or keen to work on improved key management systems, are encouraged to try the package and provide feedback. keys3 is *not* an official LaTeX3 team package. Whether any of the ideas explored here will be taken up by the team is therefore unknown. However, the keys3 package should provide ideas on what needs to be available for key management and how it can be implemented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/explt/keys3 .

Location on CTAN: systems/win32/bakoma License: shareware > Most important improvements in BaKoMa TeX 8.30 are: > > TeXWord IDE: > * 'View/Sync Preview' (F6) - new command to synchronize proof with source. > * 'Find & Replace' in source window is implemented as non-modal dialog. > * Improved 'Search/Find' in proof window. handling spaces; fixed shift. > > Compatibility with other software: > * Scientific Word/WorkPlace - displays imported graphics. > * pdfTeX - estimates BBox of imported PDF files in similar way. > * PS Drivers - work around carzy prologs ('boolean {foo} def'). > > More details about changes and another bug fixing see at: > <http://www.bakoma-tex.com/menu/changes.php> or > <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/programs/changes7.html> > > -------------------- About BaKoMa TeX 8.30 ------------------ > > BaKoMa TeX 8.23 supports two coexisting IDE: > 1) BaKoMa TeX Word - True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor. > 2) Text Editor + DVI Viewer - Classical IDE. > They are high compatible, so that you can choose what to use > depend on kind of a document or stage of work under a document. > > About BaKoMa TeX Word. > > BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor. > > The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts: > > 1) It is True WYSIWYG Editor. > It means that display shows precisely the same what will be printed. > It looks such that you edit your document immediately in DVI Viewer. > 2) It is True LaTeX Editor. > It edits LaTeX source text without any import/export procedure. > It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e document. > > BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic engine and > consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX related > with import graphics, font support, and document export. > > It supports processors: > (1) Standard TeX and (2) e-TeX. > Other processors such as Omega may be added in future. > > It imports: > EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, > MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, FIG, HPGL, and DXY. > It supports fonts: > OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, PostScript Type1 (including MM), > PostScript Type 3, and TeX PK/VF. > It exports: > DVI, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG (with HTML wrapper), and HTML (TeX4HT). > > It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible via DVIPS > compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as: > PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy, > PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc. > > Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is > final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing. > > Editing slides in WYSIWYG interface > (with such packages as PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.) > is another impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'. > > TeXWord dramatically simplifies editing complex formulas and tables. > > TeXWord is transparent for cooperation. > TeXWord don't use additional macro packages. > It uses only standard LaTeX packages, so that documents made up > in TeXWord may be compiled in any LaTeX setup without any adaptation. > In other side, TeXWord can handle arbitrary LaTeX documents. > So, that your coleagues may even don't know that you use > powerful WYSIWYG tool to edit your part of common work. > > Beginner users of LaTeX may consider TeXWord as > good start point for learning LaTeX together with writing papers. > > More information about `BaKoMa TeX Word' is at: > <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/programs/texword.html> > > Some screenshots are available at: > <http://www.bakoma-tex.com/menu/screenshots.php> > > Root of BaKoMa TeX distributions is at: > <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/> > > Most important improvements in BaKoMa TeX 8.30 are: > > TeXWord IDE: > * 'View/Sync Preview' (F6) - new command to synchronize proof with source. > * 'Find & Replace' in source window is implemented as non-modal dialog. > * Improved 'Search/Find' in proof window. handling spaces; fixed shift. > > Compatibility with other software: > * Scientific Word/WorkPlace - displays imported graphics. > * pdfTeX - estimates BBox of imported PDF files in similar way. > * PS Drivers - work around carzy prologs ('boolean {foo} def'). > > More details about changes and another bug fixing see at: > <http://www.bakoma-tex.com/menu/changes.php> or > <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/programs/changes7.html> > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Thanks for the upload.
