On Sun, 19 Nov 2006 Axel Kielhorn submitted an update to the refman package. It contains document classes (report- and article-style) for writing technical reference manuals. It offers a wide left margin for notes to the reader, like some of the manuals distributed by Adobe.

CTAN Update: xkeyval 2.5f
by CTAN Announcements 19 Nov '06

19 Nov '06

On Sat, 18 Nov 2006, Hendri Adriaens submitted an update to the xkeyval package. This package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval License: lppl Announcement Text: --------------------------------------------------------------------- > xkeyval 2.5f: > 2 small bugs have been solved: > XKV@setkeys: Added reset of CurrentOption > XKV@srstate: Added XKV@tkey and XKV@rm to solve bugs --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN package update: utopia
by CTAN Announcements 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

The package below has been changed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Karl. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: utopia Author's name: Karl Berry Location on CTAN: /fonts/utopia Summary description: utopia fonts license clarification License type: dfsg Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am happy to announce that Adobe has graciously clarified the licensing terms of the Utopia font family, making it clear that the fonts can be modified, and such modifications can be redistributed (this was previously ambiguous, unfortunately). Therefore, the Utopia fonts can now be considered free (as in freedom), and will be included on the next TeX Live. I have updated the license terms in the original Utopia afm and pfb files, and the new files are available at http://tug.org/fonts/utopia, and soon from CTAN:fonts/utopia. The actual font information (glyphs, metrics, etc.) is entirely unchanged. For those who are concerned about such things, the precise license terms from Adobe and other legal information is also available at http://tug.org/fonts/utopia. Happy typesetting, Karl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utopia .

Außerdem enthält ADRconv eine TeX-Datei, die die Daten für den Ausdruck formatiert.

Thank you for the upload, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: jeopardy Author's name: Robert Marik Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/jeopardy/ Summary description: Build a jeopardy game in LaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The jeopardy package allows to build a jeopardy game with pdfLaTeX. It is based on the jj_game class and exerquiz package, written by D. P. Story. The author of the game can use multichoice questions or fill-in questions. The answer for fill-in questions is either a mathematical formula or text string (see the documentation of exerquiz and RespBoxMath and RespBoxTxt commands to learn more about the capabilities). JavaScripts are written to record the score. If the score is greater than a given value, a hidden string is shown. The user should use the style with some screen presentation package, such as web or pdfscreen. For the new version of jeopardy package, a new option picture has been added. This option allows to build game where the user (student) answers questions and uncovers (after a correct answer) parts of hidden picture. The new option is demonstrated in game1a.pdf, game2a.pdf and game4.pdf files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jeopardy/ .

On Mon, 30 Oct 2006, Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update to his kvsetkeys package. This package provides kvsetkeys, a variant of package keyval's setkeys. It allows to specify a handler that deals with unknown options. Active commas and equal signs may be used (e.g. see babel's shorthands) and only one level of curly braces are removed from the values. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/ License: LPPL Changes: * kvsetkeys v1.1 * Interface for handler definition fixed. * Example added. * oberdiek-tds.zip updated. _______________________________________________________________ This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek .
