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

Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission. Version 1.2 of savetrees adds code to discourage TeX from permitting paragraphs to end with a lone word. It also sets the top and bottom margins to nonzero values because that was too ugly even for savetrees. Finally, this version of savetrees improves the check for chapter-based document classes, making it more robust. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/savetrees . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=savetrees (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).
