The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ..................................................................... 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ijmart .

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.

CTAN package update: cleveref
by CTAN Announcements 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cleveref Author's name: Toby Cubitt Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/ Summary description: Automatic cross-reference formatting. 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. (As ever, cleveref must be loaded last to work properly.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/ .

CTAN package update: natbib
by CTAN Announcements 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

The package below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: natbib Author's name: Patrick Daly Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/natbib Summary description: Update to natbib and bibentry License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that the use of edef in natbib was causing some other packages not to function correctly. This has now been replaced by protected@edef which hopefully will work better. In the bibentry companion, a global definition for the doi macro is included; this appears in many of the modern bibtex styles. Normally, this is used only within thebibliography where a local definition is provided. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib .
