CTAN Update: minipage-marginpar

08 Apr '08

On Mon, 7 Apr 2008 Paul Ebermann submitted an update to the minipage-marginpar package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/minipage-marginpar Summary description: Package-update: minipage-marginpar (bugfix and namechange) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package allows marginpar -commands inside of minipages and other boxes. (It takes another approach than marginnote by Markus Kohm: it saves all marginpar -commands and typesets them outside (i.e., after) the box.) Version 0.3 fixes a bug, which caused marginpars of some kind only appearing on odd pages, not even ones. In my documents I don't have much of those, so I remarked it only now, nearly two years after version 0.2 (which introduced this bug, fixing another one). At the same time, i decided to change the name of the package files from mpgmpar to minipage-marginpar, as already is the CTAN directory name. (There is a compatibility style file, which simply loads the new one.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/minipage-marginpar .

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: stringstrings Author's name: Steven B. Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stringstrings Summary description: String manipulation for cosmetic and programming application License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a large and sundry array of routines for the manipulation of strings. The routines are developed not only for cosmetic application, such as the changing of letter cases, selective removal of character classes, and string substitution, but also for programming application, such as character look-ahead applications, argument parsing, if-tests for various string conditions, etc. A key tenet employed during the development of this package (unlike, for comparison, the uppercase and lowercase routines) was to have resultant strings be ``expanded'' (i.e., the product of an edef), so that the stringstrings routines could be strung together sequentially and nested (after a fashion) to achieve very complex manipulations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/stringstrings .

It has everything you need to typeset in this font - except the font itself, of course. There are several versions of the fonts available, different by the version year. This package provides support for fonts as used by No Starch Press, http://www.nostarch.com. To prevent a clash with support of a newer version by W. A.

If you got the fonts from No Starch Press, do not rename the pfb files. However, if there are uppercase letters in your file names, downcase them. If you obtained the fonts from another source, rename the files according to the documentation (futurans.pdf). If your TeX system is TDS-compliant, install the files into $TEXMF/fonts/type1/adobe/futurans. Then download http://ctan.tug.org/install/fonts/psfonts/adobe/futurans.tds.zip and unzip this file in $TEXMF. Add +pfv.map to the configuration files of dvips, pdftex and your dvi previewer. Run updmap and texhash programs to update the configuration files and file names database. The included style futurans.sty makes your default Sans Serif family.
