CTAN Update: pict2e
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

On Mon, 30 Jun 2008, Josef Tkadlec submitted an update to the pict2e package. This package was described in the 2nd edition of ‘LaTeX: A Document Preparation System’, but the LaTeX project team declined to produce the package. For a long time, LaTeX has included a ‘pict2e package’ that merely produced an apologetic error message. The new package extends the existing LaTeX picture environment, using the familiar technique (cf. thegraphics and color packages) of driver files. The package documentation has a fair number of examples of use, showing where things are improved by comparison with the LaTeX picture environment. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pict2e License: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changed: extended slope arguments for line and vector; horizontal and vertical lines use PS/PDF operators, too. Added: macros for drawing arcs, lines given by endpoints, polygons; path constructions (as in PS/PDF); control of shapes of line ends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pict2e .

CTAN Update: Phaistos.otf
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jul '08

01 Jul '08

On Fri, 27 Jun 2008, Apostolos Syropoulos submitted an update to the phaistos package. It is a A font that contains all the symbols of the famous Disc of Phaistos, together with a LaTeX package. The disc was ‘printed’ by stamping the wet clay with some sort of punches, probably around 1700 BCE. There are those who believe that this Cretan script was used to ‘write’ Greek (it is known, for example, that the rather later Cretan Linear B script was used to write Greek), but arguments for other languages have been presented. Given that the disc is the only known example of the script, it seems unlikely that a decipherment will ever be confirmed. Location on CTAN: /fonts/archaic/phaistos License: lppl Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that the symbols of the Disk of Phaistos are included in Unicode, I have created an OpenType font from the Type 1 font that we had created some years ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

What are the priorities for other record types to handle, and how should the extra data available from biblatex be handled?

27 Jun '08

On Thu, 26 Jun 2008 Jean-Pierre F. Drucbert submitted an update to the minitoc package. The minitoc package allows you to add mini-tables-of-contents (minitocs) at the beginning of every chapter, part or section. There is also provision for mini-lists of figures and of tables. At the part level, they are parttocs, partlofs and partlots. If the type of document does not use chapters, the basic provision is section level secttocs, sectlofs and sectlots. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/minitoc Summary description: minitable of contents by chapter, part or section License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Minitoc version #58 -- Renamed minitoc-tds.zip into minitoc.tds.zip. -- Added some figures about the geographic repartition of some languages. -- Updated the bibliography. -- Corrections of typos. -- Added a minitoc in the index to make it easier to consult. --* Added flags: ifinparttoc, ifinpartlof, ifinpartlot, ifinminitoc, ifinminilof, ifinminilot, ifinsecttoc, ifinsectlof, and ifinsectlot. --* Added commands mtcpolymtoc and siblings (polymorphic entries). --* Added the example document mtc-vti.tex. --** Renamed fminitoc.dtx and consorts as minitoc-fr.dtx and consorts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: * For ``polymorphic'' entries in the TOC, LOF, LOT and mini-tables, A ``polymorphic' entry is an entry whose aspect depends of the place where it appears. ** To allow typing texdoc minitoc-fr to access the french documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/minitoc . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=minitoc (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 .
