CTAN update: ednotes for scholarly critical editions
by CTAN Announcements 10 Jul '06

10 Jul '06

On Sun, 9 Jul 2006, Uwe Lück submitted an update to the ednotes package. Ednotes is a macro package for typesetting scholarly critical editions. Provides macros for critical edition typesetting with LaTeX, including support for line numbers and layers of footnotes. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ednotes Summary description: Customizing footnote rules; overlapping moving lemmas License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Customizing (different) footnote rules -- as invented by Christian Tapp and Alex Rozhenko, implemented in manyfoot v1.5 -- is now supported by ednotes at last. To learn more on this new feature, please search ednotes.sty for `Customizing *footnote rules*'. One application for this is demonstrated in file varnrule.tex . 2. Overlapping lemmas work as I had desired for a long time -- especially in moving arguments (e.g. section titles). Moreover, my recent work on this had introduced another bug -- that is fixed only now. Macros IfLemmaTag and IfTypesetting become public in case you need something more special/general concerning overlapping lemmas and/or moving arguments than what has been provided so far. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

by CTAN Announcements 08 Jul '06

08 Jul '06

On Sat, 8 Jul 2006 Ulrich M. Schwarz submitted an update to the nag package. This package provides routines to warn the user about the use of outdated and superseded commands, classes and packages. As an example, it provides an extension that detects many of the ``sins'' described in l2tabu. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/nag Summary description: Detecting obsolete commands and packages License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes in version 0.5: * new option orthodox finds even more reasons to bother the user: commands used as environments and vice versa. * fixed bug in package detection. * hopefully fixed scoping bug, yet again. * changed configuration file names to free up extension. * shuffled documentation to include the configuration files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Typical usage may consist in writing words such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL across document pages. The package may remind in some sense draftcopy by Dr. Juergen Vollmer, but its implementation is much lighter (as the reduced code footprint shows) and does not rely on postscript specials, making the package fully compatible with pdfLaTeX. The package depends on package everypage by the same author. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/draftwatermark .

Specifically, actions are performed after the page is composed, but before it is shipped, so they can be used to prepare the output page in tasks like putting watermarks in the background, setting the next page layout, etc. The package reminds in some sense bobhook.sty by Karsten Tinnefeld, but it differs in the way hooks are implemented, as detailed in the everypage documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/everypage .

CTAN package update: the UK TeX FAQ
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

I am pleased to announce version 3.16 of the UK TeX FAQ; it has been installed at the Cambridge node, and should be somewhere near you really soon. The FAQ is LaTeX-oriented, but has a fair amount aimed to help and interest Plain TeX users. Users of other macro packages may not find it terribly helpful (but then, Context users always have contextgarden...). I append the changes file below. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team Changes in version 3.16 These are changes from 3.15a, which incorporated a couple of minor corrections made on the day 3.15 was uploaded New answers: Label chngmargonfly: changing the document's margins on the fly Label doc-wiki: catalogue of known tex-related WIKIs Label fonts-pln: sophisticated font selection macros in Plain TeX Label gutter: the problem with two-sided document margins Label marginmanual: setting up the document's margins by hand Label marginpkgs: packages for setting up the document's margins Label matchbrak: matching [] in optional arguments, etc. Label newfont: why shouldn't I use ewfont in LaTeX? Label poster: summary of the inadequate state of support for posters Label repeatgrf: repeated graphics in documents Label whatbst: choosing a BibTeX style Label whatpdftex: PDFTeX has entered the mainstream (actually, it did some time ago, but I've now recognised that in the FAQ) Answers removed: Label pdftex: I think pdftex is no longer research -- see label whatpdftex Revised answers: Label ant: correct home page reference Label changemargin: rehashed as intro and list of links to (new) instruction answers marginpkgs, marginmanual and chngmargonfly Label complist: mention multenum package Label cv: europecv has improved, and there's a new class moderncv Label dvipsgraphics: extend discussion of bitmap graphics in dvips Label drawing: correct URL for pstricks site Label findfiles: remove mention of the (long dead) quote site index, add the catalogue bytopic.html Label fmtconv: troff-to-latex no longer available Label newfunction: mention operatorname command Label labundef: mention labelcas package Label labelfig: mention iTe editor, correct URL on pstricks page Label man-tex: correct URL for Andy Roberts' page Label man-latex: add Chris Harrison's web manual Label rotating: mention rotfloat package Label seccntformat: correction of suggested code Label secthead: remove 2.09 font commands from simple example Label struttab: mention new cellspace package Label texsystems: mention w32tex (from japan) -- capable of being a minimal system Label tutbitslatex: correct URL for the pTeX description, add link to Smith's LaTeX for logicians Label usepictex: correct stuff about mathspic package Label verbwithin: make clear problems apply to verbatim environment, too Label xetex: simplify the answer (the details are all on the web site, anyway), and mention the new linux port Presentation: LaTeX ``...'' quotes in the source used to be converted to the ascii double-quote character in the HTML; this is changed to use the HTML entities for typographic quotes (similarly for single quotes and apostrophes). A minor change to html generation has been made, inserting paragraph elements after block quotes: this makes CSS-controlled display more regular (a CSS sheet is used in the code generated for the new CGI engine -- see below). Building the FAQ now requires e-TeX (or rather [pdf-]e-LaTeX); this should not be a problem unless your TeX distribution is a bit aged. Future releases: This release is wildly overdue (even making allowance for my extended illness). If I can find the time to do so, I intend in future to release anything that's available, around the end of each month. Full releases, with batches of new questions, may still be long delayed, but I hope not. Coming up (still): I have a far more efficient CGI engine for serving answers to the web; those of a strong constitution may view the experimental testbed at: URL http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html-gamma It is missing a search engine, various links and topping and tailing of answers; it uses Cambridge University's default CSS sheet in a non-standard way; and, crucially it lacks **SUPPORT**. I welcome suggestions for improving the way I do things, but I can't claim it will always work. Mechanisms whereby I can point to the CTAN catalogue from FAQ answers remains as a background task; I suggested several ways (last time) in which such links would be valuable.

CTAN update: antt, iwona, kurier fonts
by CTAN Announcements 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

On Thu, 29 Jun 2006, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted updates for the font packages antt (v2.06) iwona (v0.97) kurier (v0.97) All are located in CTAN'S fonts directory tree. See below for more information. Thanks for the upload. ------ Package: antt Version: 2.06 Author: Janusz Marian Nowacki License: GFNL (GUST-FONT-NOSOURCE-LICENSE based on LPPL) Location on CTAN: fonts/antt/ In the current version (2.06) some new glyphs were added: Breveinverted, Hbar.small, Ubreveinvertedlow, Ubreveinvertedlow.small, breveinverted, breveinvertedlow, dotlessi.small, dotlessj.small, ubreveinvertedlow. Also encoding files were corrected. ------ Package: iwona Version: 0.97 Author: Janusz Marian Nowacki License: GFNL (GUST-FONT-NOSOURCE-LICENSE based on LPPL) Location on CTAN: fonts/iwona/ Iwona is a two-element sans-serif typeface. It was created as an alternative version of the Kurier typeface, which was designed in 1975 for a diploma in typeface design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Roman Tomaszewski. Kurier was designed for linotype typesetting of newspapers and similar periodicals. The Iwona fonts are an alternative version of the Kurier fonts. The difference lies in the absence of ink traps which typify the Kurier font. This distribution contains a significantly extended set of characters covering the following modern alphabets: latin (including Vietnamese), cyrillic and greek as well as a number of additional symbols (including mathematical symbols). The fonts are prepared in Type 1 and OpenType formats. For use with TeX the following encoding files have been prepared: T1 (ec), T2 (abc), and OT2 -- cirilic, T5 (Vietnamese), OT4, QX, texansi and nonstandard (IL2 for the Czech fonts), as well as supporting macros and files defining fonts for LaTeX. The doc/fonts/iwona folder contains examples for plain TeX as well as for LaTeX and an example of typesetting mathematics. In the current version (0.97) some new glyphs were added: Breveinverted, Hbar.small, Ubreveinvertedlow, Ubreveinvertedlow.small, breveinverted, breveinvertedlow, dotlessi.small, dotlessj.small, ubreveinvertedlow. Also encoding files were corrected. ------ Package: kurier Version: 0.97 Author: Janusz Marian Nowacki License: GFNL (GUST-FONT-NOSOURCE-LICENSE based on LPPL) Location on CTAN: fonts/kurier/ Kurier is a two-element sans-serif typeface. It was designed for a diploma in typeface design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Roman Tomaszewski. The result was presented with other Polish typefaces at the ATypI conference in Warsaw in 1975. Kurier was intended for linotype typesetting of newspapers and similar periodicals. The design goals included resistance to technological processes destructive to the letter shapes. As a result, amongst others, the typeface distinguishes itself through intra- and extra-letter white spaces as well as ink traps at cross-sections of some elements constituting the characters. This distribution contains a significantly extended set of characters covering the following modern alphabets: latin (including Vietnamese), cyrillic and greek as well as a number of additional symbols (including mathematical symbols). The fonts are prepared in Type 1 and OpenType formats. For use with TeX the following encoding files have been prepared: T1 (ec), T2 (abc), and OT2 -- cirilic, T5 (Vietnamese), OT4, QX, texansi and nonstandard (IL2 for the Czech fonts), as well as supporting macros and files defining fonts for LaTeX.

Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: PerlTeX Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/perltex Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability. PerlTeX v1.3 adds code to work around a limitation of the Perl sandbox (i.e., that certain constructs fail even when perltex is run with the --nosafe option) and introduces a perldo macro that enables the execution of Perl code outside of any subroutine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex .

Name of contribution: pkfix-helper Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/pkfix-helper Summary description: Help pkfix process PostScript files produced by ancient versions of dvips License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts. Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced by older versions of dvips. pkfix-helper is a program that attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process documents fully autonomously but does require the user to verify and, if needed, correct its decisions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/pkfix-helper .

CTAN update: ednotes for scholarly critical editions -- upgrade, bug fixes
by CTAN Announcements 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

On Tue, 20 Jun 2006, Uwe Lück submitted an update to the ednotes bundle. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ednotes/ Summary description: New features, bug fixes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The ednotes package/bundle supports scholarly critical editions with LaTeX -- cf. http://ednotes.sty.de.vu . The present update deals with includeonly, counting of small possible lemmas in a line, oscillating page breaks, ... Namely: 1. ednotes now works with includeonly. This may be helpful with editing a work consisting of books (libri) or a collection of rather large single works. 2. The mechanism for identifying a word in a lemma when it occurs multiply in a line (option `countoccurrences') didn't work when the first countword appeared in a lemma tag -- fixed. 3. Additional screen (.log) messages concerning not-yet- working (properly) (line/place number) references. 4. Concerning oscillating page breaks (also certain effects of marginpar on footnotes), a variant warningpagebreak of pagebreak has been added for reminding you of checking whether your manual page breaks are still appropriate when preceding page breaks have changed. 5. I have changed the algorithm of displaying page numbers when a lemma crosses a page break. The difference anyway should show up only when, due to some LaTeX bug, a footnote doesn't start on the page where the lemma starts to which it refers. (In this case the page number of the lemma end is displayed in any case. This aims at a future feature of referring to edited passages from comments.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
