CTAN has a new package: ted

The packge below has been put up to tug.ctan.org and will soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ted Author's name: Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ted Summary description: a (primitive) token list editor License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Just like sed is a stream editor, ted is a token list editor. Actually, it is not as powerfull as sed, but its main feature is that it really works with tokens, not only characters. The ted package provides two user macros: Substitute and ShowTokens. The first one is maybe the most useful: it performs substitutions in token lists (even inside braces). The second displays each token of the list (one per line) with its catcode (in the list, not just the current one), and can be useful for debugging or for TeX learners. The ted package is designed to work well even if strange tokens (that is, unusual (charcode, catcode) pairs or tokens with a confusing meaning) occur in the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ted .

CTAN package update: Eplain 3.2 release
by CTAN Announcements 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Oleg Katsitadze has provided a package which has been mirrored, automatically, to CTAN. He writes: I'm happy to announce a new release of Eplain (3.2), a set of TeX macros that expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a style-neutral fashion. Eplain's home page is http://tug.org/eplain Location on CTAN is /macros/eplain The manual is available on-line from Eplain's home, or as a hard-copy from http://www.lulu.com/content/113810 (Royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group.) Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file. * Fixed a bug which caused silent indexing macros to output spurious space in vertical mode. * Added a switch to disable index file input/output. * Fixed xref and bibliography label definition macros so that reading in a .aux file with a large number of label definitions does not overflow the save stack. * Fixed double-column macros -- they were occasionally losing material and producing columns too high to fit on a page. Also improved appearance of the last column, which often came out spaced out. ============== I've updated the catalogue, and the new version should be widely available by now. Users may view the catalogue entry at http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/eplain.html or browse the distribution at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain/ Thanks for the continuing support of the package, Oleg.
