CTAN package update: achemso
by CTAN Announcements 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: achemso Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/achemso Summary description: Support for submissions to American Chemical Society journals License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- The achemso bundle, version 3 --------------------------------------------------------------- The achemso bundle includes a series of files for supporting submission to the American Chemical Society. The current bundle includes: - achemso.cls, a class for writing article - achemso.sty, a more generally-useful package following the ACS standards - natmove.sty, a small support package to modify the behaviour of natbib - achemso.bst and biochem.bst, two BibTeX style files which between them cover all ACS journal styles --------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3 is a complete re-write of the package. This is now the *official* class for LaTeX submissions to the ACS. The files have been tested by the publishers and work for submission. See: http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/submission/general/tex.html for details. The changes mean that users moving from version 2 should read the documentation very carefully. The BibTeX styles now *require*: - natbib - mciteplus while the package and class also *requires* notes2bib (and natmove). The recommended method for using the BibTeX styles is to load them using the package, i.e. usepackage[options]{achemso} as this provides a customisable interface and also ensures the correct packages are loaded. --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/achemso .

CTAN Update: The caption package v3.1i
by CTAN Announcements 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

On Tue, 19 Aug 2008 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix release of the caption package bundle: - Missing options `within' & `without' added - Bugfix: label...pageref should work always now - Bugfix: subfigure support of caption2 package revised - Bugfix: label, index, and glossary are allowed inside sub-captions which produce a list entry now - Bugfix: figurename=<name> works now when using (n)german.sty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/caption/ .

CTAN update: boxhandler
by CTAN Announcements 18 Aug '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: boxhandler Author's name: Steven B. Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler Summary description: Tools for Optimizing Captions, Presentation, and Placement of Tables and Figures License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package facilitates the optimized presentation of LaTeX tables and figures. Not only can boxhandler conveniently lay out table and figure captions with a wide variety of stylistic appearances, but allows for figures and tables to be ``wrapped'' in a manner consistent with many business and government documents. For a document that might appear in different venues with different formatting, boxhandler very powerfully permits the creation of a LaTeX source document that can, with a single-line change in the source code, produce an output that has vastly different layout from the baseline configuration, not only in terms of caption style, but more importantly in terms of the locations where figures, tables and lists appear (or not) in the document. Deferral routines also allow one to keep all figure and table data in a separate source file, while nonetheless producing a document with figures and tables appearing in the desired location in the document. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler .

CTAN Update: mh
by CTAN Announcements 17 Aug '08

17 Aug '08

On Thu, 14 Aug 2008 Morten Høgholm submitted an update of the mh bundle, more precisely of the breqn and mathstyle packages. The breqn package makes more easy the business of preparing displayed equations in LaTeX, including permitting automatic line-breaking within displayed equations. (Breqn uses the mathstyle package to keep track of the current maths typesetting style, something that raw TeX hides from the programmer.) The mathstyle package performs two functions: – to make sub- and superscript operations macros, which has the effect of making their behaviour uniform and more readily understandable; and<br/> – to take advantage of the lack of infix operations (such as over) in LaTeX to redesign the control of mathematical typesetting style, and to rationalise the way mathchoice and dependent mechanisms work. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mh License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug fix for breqn and mathstyle. Super- and subscripts of ight delimiters would be interpreted as if there was a {} before them, leading to completely wrong position. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mh .
