Re: dante.ctan.org upload: arabxetex
by CTAN Announcements 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

On Thu, 8 Nov 2007, François Charette submitted an update to the arabxetex package. ArabXeTeX provides a convenient ArabTeX-like user-interface for typesetting languages using the Arabic script in XeLaTeX, with flexible access to font features. Input in ArabTeX notation can be set in three different vocalization modes or in roman transliteration. Direct UTF-8 input is also supported. The parsing and converting of ArabTeX input to Unicode is done by means of TECkit mappings. Version 1.0 provides support for Arabic, Maghribi Arabic, Farsi (Persian), Urdu, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Ottoman Turkish, Kurdish, Jawi (Malay) and Uighur. The documentation (not yet complete) covers topics such as typesetting the Holy Quran, typesetting bidirectional critical editions (with ednotes), and information on various recommended OpenType fonts for the Arabic script and for transliterating Oriental languages. Location on CTAN: macros/xetex/latex/arabxetex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.1.1 is a bugfix release. No new functionality was added since version 1.1. A minimal example is now under doc/examples, together with the more complex demonstration of an Arabic critical edition with ednotes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/xetex/latex/arabxetex/ .

UK TeX FAQ, v3.17, released
by Robin Fairbairns 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Not before time, I've installed v3.17 of the UK TeX FAQ on CTAN (help/uk-tex-faq) and on the web at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq There has been an embarrassingly long delay since the previous version, 3.16c: various personal circumstances have conspired to make completion of the new version difficult. The fact is, I'm getting old and I'm slowing down. As a result, I've been discussing a change in the way the FAQ is delivered. An announcement will be made in due course, but in the interim I shall be updating the Web version more regularly (only announcing significant changes). I append the changes file (which is also available from the distribution). This only lists changes since the previous v3.16c, since it proved impossible to read with all the changes since v3.16 :-( Robin Fairbairns UK TeX FAQ maintainer ===================== Changes in version 3.16d This file incorporates the changes from version 3.16 that previously appeared in file CHANGES-3.16a, -3.16b and -3.16c; new changes for this release (3.16d) are marked with a plus (+) sign. New answers: +Label biblatex: discusses BibTeX replacements (amsrefs, biblatex) +Label checksum: checksum error in font message +Label figurehere: how to avoid floating figures/tables altogether +Label entercompmode: entering compatibility mode message +Label fontsize: how to program arbitrary font sizes in LaTeX +Label latexqual: assessing the quality of your LaTeX +Label mathonlyref: only referenced equations are numbered +Label run-fn-nos: running footnote numbers when class numbers per chapter Revised answers: +Label altabcr: extended examples and tidied a bit +Label BibTeXing: add reference to Shell & Hoadley's btxFAQ +Label books mention LaTeX Graphics Companion 2nd edition; use ISBN-13 +Label CD: now couched in terms of the TeX collection +Label changebar: mention changes.sty +Label commercial:update details of Textures +Label dec_comma: mention numprint as possible way to get things right +Label docpictex: mention PiCTeX summary now on CTAN +Label fonts-pln: mention pdcmac bundle +Label ftnsect: rewrite to make recommendations clearer +Label getbitmap: reworded to suggest that bitmaps aren't standard any more +Label LaTeXtoPlain: suggest ways forward for aspiring translators +Label make: mention autolatex +Label man-latex: mention Grätzer's short course +Label minxampl: editorial work, including (perhaps) clarifying web version +Label newfont*: was newfont; content rearranged between this, plninltx* and the new label fontsize +Label newfunction: expand description +Label ol-books: TeX by Topic now available from CTAN +Label papersize: mention Acrobat Reader's default scaling +Label plninltx*: was plninltx; content rearranged between this, newfont* and the new fontsize +Label protect: clarify lists of commands known to be fragile, etc +Label psfchoice: add links to papers about maths fonts in tex; add fouriernc, mathdesign/FS Garamond, kpfonts, minionpro and mnsymbol +Label running-nos: rearrange to emphasise package chngctr +Label tabcellalign: rationalised, reduced range of recommendations +Label tocbibind: mention phantomsection for when doing the job by hand +Label twooptarg: mention the xargs package +Label unkgrfextn: mention grffile package +Label wdnohyph: mention uchyph (not that it's much use)

License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This version makes customising the reference formats far simpler and less tedious. It also adds a new conjunction and format part, used in lists containing just a pair of items. This makes certain frequently requested comma styles possible. The label command can now take an optional argument that overrides the automatically determined reference style, allowing the format of references to individual labels to be customised separately if so desired. Finally, this version removes the need to explicitly pass options to enable support for the hyperref, ntheorem and amsmath packages. Instead, it enables the support automatically if these packages are loaded.
