CTAN upload notification: ltabptch.sty, ltabtest.tex
by Reinhard Zierke 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

----- Forwarded message from Uwe Lück ----- Name of contribution: ltabptch.sty, ltabtest.tex Name and email: Uwe Lück Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ltabptch/ Summary description: [update:] diagnosis motivating longtable patches improved; +demonstrating .tex License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Recall: According to tools/3180/3485, there is more space below than above a longtable. ltabptch.sty fixes this. However, the diagnosis it presented before was not quite correct concerning one reason. This is fixed in the present version. Explanations should appear more clear now, and a through-going discussion of possible effects has been added. The patch code was not affected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I removed macros/latex/contrib/misc/ltabptch.sty and installed the new files in macros/latex/contrib/ltabptch/ as suggested. I added a short README file (containing just the first few lines of ltabptch.sty). Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: exercise
by Jim Hefferon 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should by now have made it to your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: exercise Author's name: Paul Pichaureau Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/exercise Summary description: A package to typeset exercises, problems, etc. and their answers. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package helps to typeset exercises or list of exercises within any document. Exercises, questions, sub-questions are automatically numbered. It is possible to put answers in the same document, and display them immediatly, later in the document or not at all. The layout of exercise is fully customisable. It is then possible to typeset long problems, short exercises, questionnaires, etc. Usage of the babel package is detected, but not fully supported by now (only english and french are implemented). See documentation for more information. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/exercise 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

CTAN submission -- hfoldsty virtual font
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded hfoldsty-v1_11.tar to ftp.dante.de. It contains the new version of the hfoldsty virtual font package. Please replace all files in CTAN/fonts/hfoldsty by its contents. Please do not unpack the zip archives. License stays GPL. >From the README: The hfoldsty package provides virtual fonts for using oldstyle (0123456789) figures with the European Computer Modern fonts. It does a similar job as the eco package by Sebastian Kirsch <skirsch(a)t-online.de> but includes a couple of improvements, e.g., better kerning with guillemets, support for character protruding using the pdfcprot package, arbitrary font sizes in conjunction with fix-cm.sty. The new version provides the possiblity to reduce the number of used design sizes and to use arbitrary font sizes as done by the fix-cm package. Some missing fd files have been added, too. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested in CTAN:fonts/hfoldsty/.

CTAN upload notification: pittetd
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

A new package found its way on CTAN: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of contribution: pittetd Name and email: Federico Garcia Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/pittetd Summary description: Class for Electronic Theses and Diss. at Univ. of Pittsburgh License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A class that formats documents for submission as ETD's (Electr. Theses and Diss.) to the University of Pittsburgh. Creates a PDF file with all the required bookmarking (including bookmarks for each table and figure, within the bookmark for the corresponding List, a possibility that hyperref doesn't offer directly), checks for the required `preliminary pages', etc. It could be of use for writers of similar classes at other institutions. More and more universities are adopting some form of ETD every day, so I would expect more and more 'etd' LaTeX classes will come out. This one has some tricks that solve 'generic' needs of the kind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I installed this as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/pittetd and created a PDF documentation from the pittetd.dtx file. Note that there already is another University of Pittsburgh thesis class in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/pitthesis. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: t1infos
by Jim Hefferon 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the upload, Jim Hefferon The author provides this information: ====================================================== Two little programs written in C (using the t1lib) for scanning Type 1 fonts, and doing: a) compute the black area of each glyph, with how much percent of the square containing the glyph is black. b) checking if the extremas (see Adobe Type 1 specifications) of the outline are correct, and tell which one are missing. A postscript dictionary containing three algorithms for automatic kerning (the kerning is computed on the fly instead of being pre-computed by an external software like TeX, groff or lout; very useful for some PostScript hacking); two of them are quite classical ; one is original and is Postscript-optimized. The postscript file contains both a demonstration code and the dictionary itself; thus it can be previewed with gv.

Re: Update to register package
by Rainer Schöpf 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

Matt Lovell submitted an update of his package register. This package is designed for typesetting the programmable elements in digital hardware, i.e., registers. Such registers typically have many fields and can be quite wide; they are thus a challenge to typeset in a consistent manner. Register is similar in some aspects to the bitfield package by Reuben Thomas. Anyone doing hardware documentation using LaTeX should examine both packages. Register requires a fairly recent version of the float package. This update provides a new boolean which can be used to test against being within the context of a register diagram. The accompanying Perl script and module have also been modified to allow extraction of LaTeX dependencies for Makefiles. Thanks for the upload, I installed it in macros/latex/contrib/register For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN package update: the exam document class
by Jim Hefferon 19 Aug '04

19 Aug '04

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and will by now be at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the update. Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: The exam document class Author's name: Philip Hirschhorn Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/exam Summary description: A document class that makes it easy for even a LaTeX novice to prepare exams. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 2.2 of the exam documentclass, a major extension of version 2.01. Version 2.2 is fully backward compatible with version 2.01. The exam documentclass, together with its documentation file examdoc.tex, attempts to make it easy for even a LaTeX novice to prepare exams. Simple commands are provided to: 1. Create questions, parts of questions, subparts of parts, and subsubparts of subparts, all with optional point values. 2. Create a grading table, indexed either by question number (listing each question and the total possible points for that question) or by page number (listing each page with points and the total possible points for that page). 3. Create headers and footers that are each specified in three parts: One part to be left justified, one part to be centered, and one part to be right justified. 4. Headers and/or footers can be different on the first page of the exam, can be different on the last page of the exam, and can vary depending on whether the page number is odd or even, or on whether the current page continues a question from a previous page, or on whether the last q uestion on the current page continues onto the following page. 5. Multiple line headers and/or footers are allowed, and it's easy to increase the part of the page devoted to headers and/or footers to allow for this. The documentation file examdoc.tex attempts to explain all of the possibilities in a readable way, with many specific examples. - - -------------------------------------------------------------------- The main features of version 2.2 that are new since version 2.01 are: 1. Grading tables can be created automatically, formatted either horizontally or vertically, and indexed by either question number or page number. 2. Point values can be allocated in half points. 3. Headers and footers can know whether the current page continues a question begun on an earlier page (and, if so, the number of that question). 4. Headers and footers can know whether last question on the current page continues onto a later page (and, if so, the number of that question). 5. Point values for question, parts, subparts, or subsubparts can appear either in the text of the question, in the left margin, in the right margin on the first line of the question (or part, etc.), or in the right margin on the last line of the question (or part, etc.). 6. The format of the line containing the question number can be totally reformatted. 7. There are two environments for listing the possible answers to multiple choice questions: One lists the choices as items in a list, and the other lists all the choices in a single paragraph. There is also a command to print an answer line for a short answer question. 8. There is an environment for printing ruled lines to be used for answers. 9. There is a solution environments in which one can type the solution to a problem and have it printed or not printed depending on a single command near the beginning of the file. These environments can (optionally) leave either blank space or ruled lines when solutions are not being printed. 10. All of the labels for questions, parts, subparts, and subsubparts and all of the words used in grading tables can be completely customized, allowing for use in languages other than English. 11. There is a coverpages environment to print one or more cover pages numbered separately from the main pages of the exam. 12. The exam documentclass is compatible with hyperref.sty. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/exam 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

CTAN package upgrade: filecontents
by Jim Hefferon 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

A package has been upgraded at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: filecontents Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/filecontents Summary description: Improved version of LaTeX2e's filecontents environment License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it's run through latex. However, there are two limitations of these environments: They refuse to overwrite existing files; and, they can be used only before the documentclass declaration. The filecontents package removes these limitations, making it possible to overwrite existing files and to use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/filecontents 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

Name of contribution: ushyph Author's name: Gerard Kuiken Location on CTAN: language/hyphenation Summary description: extended US hyphenation patterns freely available License type: dfsg Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1990, Gerard Kuiken published extended patterns for hyphenation of US English (TUGboat 11(1)). Gerard has now graciously agreed to release them under a Debian/FSF free license, hence this update. The patterns themselves are unchanged since 1990, though Gerard may release updates in the future for other incorrect hyphenations which have come to light.

CTAN ahs a new package: FigBib

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: FigBib Author's name: Jan Poland Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/figbib Summary description: organize figure databases with BibTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FigBib lets you organize your figures in BibTeX databases. Some FigBib features are: - - - Store and manage figures in a BibTeX database - - - Include figures in your LaTeX document with one short command - - - Generate a List of Figures containing more/other information than the figure captions - - - Control with one switch where to output the figures, either as usual float objects or in a separate part at the end of your document FigBib is for LaTeX authors who have to organize many figures. In this case, it may not be convenient to manage all information in a ``low level manner directly in the documents. Instead, it would be desirable to have a database which contains the images, corresponding captions and additional information in a bundled form. Then, a ``high-level command is issued each time a figure needs to be included. FigBib provides such a mechanism. If the user wants to include a figure with the label ``MyFigure:1 as a float object on the top of the page with a width of 5cm, then he writes fbEpsfig{MyFigure:1}{5cm}{t} The corresponding data for the figure, such as caption, name of the eps file etc., is stored in a BibTeX data base. There, the entry could be for example @fig{MyFigure:1, main = {This is the description/caption}, file = {myfigure1} - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/figbib 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
