CTAN update: noreinserts -- protect footnotes etc. against LaTeX floats
by CTAN Announcements 09 Apr '05

09 Apr '05

On Fri, 8 Apr 2005 Uwe Lück submitted an update for his package noreinserts to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/noreinserts/ Summary description: Update v0.3: switch back + support floatflt.sty License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package provides a hack to prevent LaTeX figures, tables, marginpar etc. from causing misplacement of footnotes, footnote splits etc. New with v0.3: * At places where the package performs worse than Standard LaTeX, you can now turn it off (for a while) by user commands. * Mats Dahlgren's floatflt (wrapping text around floats) is supported, probably dealing with the footnotes problem indicated in its documentation. In looking at its code, I find that I need to replace the inappropriate names `noreins.sty' etc. ... A demo file is provided. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: latexMP 1.2.1
by CTAN Announcements 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

On Thu, 7 Apr 2005 Jens-Uwe Morawski submitted an update for latexMP to CTAN. The MetaPost package latexMP implements a user-friendly interface to access LaTeX-based typesetting capabilities in MetaPost. The text to be typeset is given as string. This allows even dynamic text elements, for example counters, to be used in labels. Compared to other implementations it is much more flexible, since it can be used as direct replacement for btex..etex, and much faster, compared for example to the solution provided by tex.mp Location on CTAN: graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/latexmp/ Summary description: LaTeX based typesetting in MetaPost License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Update of latexMP to version 1.2.1. This update fixes the problem that two internal variables have not been grouped correctly. Additionally, the documentation is now complete. Examples are now included in the main documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: xkeyval v2.4 and extract v1.7
by CTAN Announcements 31 Mar '05

31 Mar '05

On Thu, 31 Mar 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted new versions of xkeyval and extract to CTAN. The xkeyval 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 ------------------------------------------------------ xkeyval v2.4 ------------------------------------------------------ 1) Added `default value' column to xkvview tables. 2) Added nesting protection for internal conditionals. 3) Changed define@boolkey to have an explicit key function. 4) Extended boolean keys. 5) Extended choice keys. 6) Inserted pst-xkey in xkeyval source. 7) Removed command keys. 8) Revised documentation and examples. 9) Simplified some code. 10) Updated xkvview. 11) Solved small bug related to XKV@rm. 12) Redid XKV@wh@list without using groups. The extract package provides the means to extract specific content from a source document and write that to a target document. One could, for instance, use this to extract all exercises from lecture notes and generate an exercises book on the fly. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/extract License: LPPL ------------------------------------------------------ extract v1.7 ------------------------------------------------------ 1) Revised documentation. 2) Solved small bug with the `no-header' option. ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the updates.

CTAN has a new package: outlines
by Jim Hefferon 30 Mar '05

30 Mar '05

A new package has appeared on tug.ctan.org and should spread to your favorite mirror within a day or two. Thanks for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: outlines Author's name: Charles Pecheur Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/outlines Summary description: An environment for outline-style indented lists with freely mixed levels. License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The outlines package - - ---------------------- Charles Pecheur, March 25, 2005 The outlines package defines the outline environment, that allows outline-style indented lists with freely mixed levels up to four levels deep. It replaces the nested begin/end pairs by different item tags 1 to 4 for each nesting level. This is very convenient in cases where nested lists are used a lot, such as for to-do lists or presentation slides. This package is built on top of the standard list environments and has no specific pre-requisite. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive//macros/latex/contrib although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .
