CTAN package update: Ijmart
by CTAN Announcements 15 Feb '08

15 Feb '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Ijmart Author's name: Boris Veytsman Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ijmart Summary description: LaTeX Class for The Israel Journal of Mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Israel Journal of Mathematics is published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press. This class provides LaTeX support for its authors and editors. It strives to achieve the distinct ``look and feel'' of the journal, while having the interface similar to the one of the amsart document class. This will help the authors already familiar with amsart to easily submit manuscripts for The Israel Journal of Mathematics or to put the preprints in http://www.arxiv.org with minimal changes in the LaTeX source. Changes: Version 1.1: Added environments namedprop and namedprop* for special named propositions. Version 1.1a: Minor documentation updates. Version 1.2: New table of contents formatting. Version 1.3: Changed the typesetting of proofs that end by a math display. This involves interface changes. Changed table of contents formatting (again). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ijmart .
