CTAN Update: The mh bundle
by CTAN Announcements 27 Dec '07

27 Dec '07

On Thu, 27 Dec 2007, Morten Høgholm submitted an update to the mh bundle. The mh bundle is a series of packages designed to enhance the appearance of documents containing a lot of math. The main backbone is amsmath, so those unfamiliar with this required part of the LaTeX system will probably not find the packages very useful. Component parts of the bundle are empheq, flexisym, mathtools, mhsetup, breqn and mathstyle; an obsolete version of empheq (empheq07) is also maintained with the package, for the benefit of older documents. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mh Summary description: breqn v0.97a, flexisym v0.96, mathstyle v0.84, technotes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- breqn-technotes.tex ================ * New document containing technical notes on breqn. * First inclusion is the text from eqbreaks.pdf (original source was lost). eqbreaks.pdf is now removed from the distribution (name was misleading anyway). Changes in breqn ================ * Fixed bug with after environment punctuation. No default action was specified if no punctuation or space was found such as could occur if you had a percent sign after the dmath environment. * Spacing above a display preceeded by a blank line is now abovedisplayskip. * New option shortskiplimit=<dimen> to control when to use abovedisplayshortskip or abovedisplayskip. * Spacing above dgroup environment fixed. * Tag placement for single-line equations now always align baselines of tag and equation. In all previous versions, C tag placement meant vertically center, even for single-line equations. * Left tag vertical positioning fixed (bug introduced in breqn v0.96). * debug option gone, available as trace option during docstrip. Changes in mathstyle =================== * Added option mathactivechars. Changes in flexisym =================== * Fix option handling. * Make flexisym load cmbase by default. Additional options now just overwrite old definitions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mh .
