CTAN package update: UK TeX FAQ v3.16c-1

I have installed a new version of the UK TeX FAQ on CTAN, in directory help/uk-tex-faq This new version includes some work on tidying the FAQ-as-a-whole, and a small number of improvements and additions (see extracts from the CHANGES file, copied below). (I did in fact install a new copy last week, but problems with it were detected almost immediately, so I delayed announcement until the problems were resolved and this replacement installed.) The FAQ appears on CTAN as http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq and in the catalogue as http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/faq.html However, browsing (and rather feeble searching) is best achieved via the web interface at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq The CHANGES file for this release mentions: Changes in version 3.16c New answer: +Label isdef: is this command defined? tests Revised answers: +Label bibprefixsort: two new examples +Label citeURL: provide a list (rather than a bunch) of alternative styles, mention babelbib +Label multirow: mention the case of multicolumn-multirow +Label music: correct Web output of package list at end of answer +Label oarglikesect: mention kernel command @dblarg +Label secthead: rewritten accounts of sectsty & titlesec +Label tutbitslatex: added pointer to Fauske's page on PGF/TikZ +Label watermark: noted that package draftcopy doesn't work with pdflatex, +Label watermark: mention draftwatermark +Label whatbst: correct reed.edu link Bugfix: +Release dates are now represented in ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd) -- previously we used the LaTeX format, using solidus instead of hyphen Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN package update: Eplain 3.1
by CTAN Announcements 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

The package described below has been updated on CTAN. Thanks for the contribution, Jim Hefferon .................................................................. Name of contribution: Eplain 3.1 My name: Oleg Katsitadze My email: olegkat at gmail.com Summary description: Release 3.1 of Eplain License: Mostly public domain, some contributions GPL CTAN location: macros/eplain Announcement: Eplain is a set of TeX macros that expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a style-neutral fashion. The areas addressed by the Eplain macros include: commutative or arrow-theoretic diagrams; verbatim listings; table of contents; indexing; bibliographies with BibTeX; cross-references; double-, triple-, quadruple-columns; hypertext links (pdfTeX, dvipdfm and HyperTeX are supported); and loading (a few) LaTeX packages under plain TeX. For more info please visit http://www.tug.org/eplain . News for this (3.1) release: General: * Rearranged the distro to comply with TDS. * Distro now includes PDF, HTML and INFO versions of the manual. * Removed etex.tex. LaTeX packages under Eplain: * When reloading LaTeX packages, warn and skip reloading, instead of giving an error. Suggested by Dan Luecking. * The primitive input is now restored after loading LaTeX packages. * Added more LaTeX defs needed by: the `draft' option to graphic{s,x}.sty; warnings from epstopdf.sty when graphics.sty is not loaded. Hyperlinks: * Added the `hypertex' driver, and made it the default driver. * Made footnote hyperlinks off by default. * Added the href macro. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * LABEL argument of the hyperlink macros now allow special characters like # and ~ (useful for URLs). Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * Fixed a hyperlink-related bug in equation macros. * Fixed a bug in the `nolinks' driver. * Added writenumberedtocline macro, which is writenumberedtocentry with permuted parameters. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * Hyperlink macros now ignore leading spaces in option lists. * All hyperlink macros now report errors until links are enabled. Cross-references, TOC and indexing: * Added warnings about multiply defined xref labels. Suggested by Tomas Penicka. * Fixed definexref to (once again) ignore following spaces. * Indexing macros now read TERM, SUBTERM and SEE... arguments verbatim, to allow special characters and catcode changes. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * Extended the TOC macros: when given an INT for the type of a TOC entry, they write ocentry{NUM}... to the .toc file. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. Programming defs: * Added ifinteger and isinteger macros. * Added For loop which strips off leading spaces from items. Manual: * Added demo subdir with demo files, and added new chapter `Demo files' to the manual. * Documented ifempty, the extended loop macro, and the new macros. * Many small improvements and additions to the manual. Other: * Added new olastlinelisting listing hook which omits the last (empty) line of the file. _______________________________________________ Ctan mailing list Ctan(a)dante.de https://lists.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/ctan
