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 .

Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability. This new release (v1.7) fixes a compatibility problem with xelatex. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex .

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should make it to your favorite mirror real soon. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: dot2texi Author's name: Kjell Magne Fauske Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dot2texi Summary description: Create graphs within LaTeX using Graphviz and the dot2tex tool License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dot2texi package allows you to embed graphs in the DOT graph description language in your LaTeX documents. The dot2tex[1] tool is used to invoke Graphviz[2] for graph layout, and to transform the output from Graphviz to LaTeX code. The generated code relies on the TikZ and PGF package or the PSTricks package. The process is automated if shell escape is enabled. New in version 2.0: - Improved platform detection. Windows users no longer need to specify the miktex option. - Added forceshell package option. - Added codeonly, styleonly and autosize environment options.
