Finally -- a pict2e.sty!
by Robin Fairbairns 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

i have just installed a new directory macros/latex/contrib/pict2e, which contains a distribution of the new (real) pict2e package, as documented in lamport, 2nd edition. from the readme: This package was described in the 2nd edition of LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, but the LaTeX project team declined to produce the package. For a long time, LaTeX has included a pict2e package that merely produced an apologetic error message. The new package extends the existing LaTeX picture environment, using the familiar technique (cf. the graphics and color packages) of driver files. The package documentation (pict2e.dtx) has a fair number of examples of use, showing where things are improved by comparison with the LaTeX picture environment.

CTAN submission -- ppr-prv class update (v0.11)
by Reinhard Zierke 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

----- Forwarded message from Mathieu Goutelle ----- I have uploaded an update of the ppr-prv class in /incoming/ppr-prv.tgz on dante.ctan.org. Please delete all files in macros/latex/contrib/ppr-prv before putting the ones in the archive, because I now distribute ppr-prv as a dtx file. This class is used with LaTeX presentations using the prosper class. ppr-prv stands for Prosper Preview. The aim of this class is to produce a printable version of the slides written with Prosper, with two slides per page. Changes since previous version are: * New ppr-prv option: nopagebreak, to have more than two slides per page ; * ppr-prv is now distributed as a .dtx file ; * Better handling of options: you can now pass to the article class the usual options for setting the paper and font sizes ; * Use of the 'geometry' package to set margins ; * I set a minimum height for the frame around the slides ; * Bug: the optional argument of itemstep was not handle when using HA-prosper ; * ppr-prv supports HA-prosper 3.9 ('indent' option on dualslide and 'enumstep' environment). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/ppr-prv Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- update of HA-prosper
by Reinhard Zierke 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

----- Forwarded message from Hendri Adriaens ----- I just uploaded an update of HA-prosper to ftp.dante.de/incoming. The package is in zip format and is TDS compliant now. It should be installed in the existing dir macros/latex/contrib/ha-prosper. The README file says: -------------------------------------------------------- HA-prosper is a patch for prosper that adds new functionality to prosper based presentations. Among the new features you will find automatic generation of a table of contents on each slide, support for notes, portrait slides support and lots more. And available styles demonstrate how to expand the functionality of prosper even further. The latest update contains support for a split toc and permanent highlighting of sections in the toc. Furthermore, an enumstep environment has been added, the possibility to nest this into itemstep environments has been added, these environments got extra options, the package option blackslide has been added and some small bugs have been solved. A mailinglist for HA-prosper is available here: http://listserv.surfnet.nl/archives/ha-prosper.html -------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

Re: CTAN submission --- ledmini.sty experimental ledmac extension
by Robin Fairbairns 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

I have uploaded ledmini.sty to UK incoming. Please use this to replace the current /macros/latex/contrib/ledmac/ledmini.sty. ledmini.sty is an experimental package to enable ledmac's line numbering and footnotes to work in a minipage environment. This version (2004/02/24) includes an environment that can break across pages and puts enclosed footnotes at the end of the environment, which might be in the middle of a page. Further comments welcome before I decide how to proceed. i've installed the file as requested; thanks for the upload. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- bigfoot bundle for critical edition typesetting
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded files suffix.dtx, suffix.ins, and README to the incoming/bigfoot directory. They are the first of what is supposed to become a larger batch of files in the bigfoot bundle that is primordinarily concerned with providing many of the mechanisms needed for critical edition typesetting. The other files of the suite are available via CVS in workable state, but are still undergoing heavy change and are not yet documented, so I don't want to upload them right now. Pointers to the CVS are given in the README (which also explains the current state of affairs). The files are supposed to be placed into CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bigfoot directory and are licenced under the GPL (version 2 or later). Sorry that most of the suite is yet available only by CVS. Here is the README file: This is the bigfoot bundle for critical edition typesetting and other concerns, written by David Kastrup (mailto:dak@gnu.org). The complete package in development can be accessed using the CVS instructions at <URL:http://sarovar.org/projects/bigfoot>, and CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/bigfoot should provide released versions once they are fit for general consumption. The whole bundle is released under the GPL version 2 (or later). Part of the work has been sponsored or commissioned by various parties (including TUG), but further functionality and development depends on your support, financially or by participation. The author has a Paypal account which you might consider contributing to. All of the files (except perpage.sty, for historical reasons) need eTeX 2 as the LaTeX engine. Newer distributions already are eTeX-based; with older distributions you might need to use the `elatex' command. File descriptions for available files: suffix.ins: This is a generated file and not in the CVS archive (but on CTAN). If you need to generate it, you can do so by running `tex docstrip' and answering the prompts infileext=dtx outfileext=ins Options=installer filelist=suffix Running TeX on suffix.ins will generate further files from `suffix.dtx'. suffix.dtx: This is the doc source for `suffix.sty', a package that makes it very easy to define command variants like macro* or macro!. It is included in the critical bundle since typical document classes for real critical editions documents will tend to want weird signs under handy abbreviations, like < and <<, or =>, or things like footnote' macros, or footnote<...footnote> with different formatting/numbering and so on. perpage.sty: Work in progress, CVS only. Used for keeping counters sorted in order of page appearance and making numbering per page possible. bigfoot.sty: Work in progress, CVS only. Used for solving every problem around footnotes and then some. Deals with nested footnotes in several apparatus, uses a backtracking algorithm for finding the optimal break across several footnotes, automatically breaks in-paragraph style footnotes across pages, uses fuzzy logic for deciding about when to prefer in-paragraph layout to one-footnote-per-paragraph layout on a per-note and per-block basis, deals with colors in footnotes even when broken across pages, adapts the document class's footnote style to in-paragraph footnotes as good as it can, allows customization of styles differing across footnote blocks, allows verbatim text in footnotes and so on. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN submission: beamer 2.00 and pgf 0.60
by Reinhard Zierke 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

----- Forwarded message from Till Tantau ----- I have put version 2.00 of the beamer package (macros/latex/contrib/beamer) on fpt://dante.ctan.org/incoming/latex-beamer-2.00.tar.gz and version 0.60 of pgf (graphics/pgf) on fpt://dante.ctan.org/incoming/pgf-0.60.tar.gz. ChangLogs: beamer version 2.00 Added: - Added placement options to columns and column commands. - Added column command. - Added label option to frames. - Added againframe command for showing a frame again later on (very useful!). - Added includeonlyframe command for typesetting only specific frames. - Added AtBeginSection, AtBeginSubsection, and AtBeginPart commands (very useful!). - Added visible command (opposite of invisible). - Added verse, quotation, and quote environments. - Added abstract environment (not very useful in my opinion). - Added colored option to defverbatim for use with lstlisting. - Added grid density option to grid background. - Added professionalfont option. - Added automatic support of serif math minion fonts. - Added option to pause command to pause only from a specific slide on. - Added unpause to stop the last pause. - Includes enumerate.sty by default and allows one to use its functionality in beamer. - Added dark and tab options to beamerthemesidebar. Other sidebar themes no longer needed. - Made ote work also inside frames. - Added templates for notes. - Added notes=onlyframeswithnotes option for generating only frames that contain a note. - Added options to all insertshortxxx commands. - Added option for passing arguments to color, xcolor, pgf, and hyperref. - Added action and actionenv environments. - Added the concept of actions to overlay specifications. For example, item<alert@2> will alert the item on the second slide and item<2-| alert@2> will furthermore have the item covered before that. - Added <> option to ewcommand and ewenvironment to make the defined commands overlay-specification aware. - only and alt will now also accept an overlay specification at the end. - Block environments now accept overlay specification also before the argument. - Added mode command - Added beamerbasearticle.sty -> makes nearly all beamer commands available in article mode in a sensible way. - Added mode specifications to section and subsection commands (useful for the article version). - Started adding some templates for rendering frames in article mode. - Added lecture command and includeonlylecture (useful for lecture notes). - Added a containsverbatim option to the frame command. Should be used instead of the old frame<all:1> (which is, however, still supported). - Made includegraphics, pgfimage, and pgfuseimage overlay-specification-aware. (useful for pseudo-animations) Changed: - Every frame is now put into a box internally. Slides will never be split over two pages. - pause commands now transcends blocks (very useful, but not compatible!) - Balls are now also used for enumerations, not just for itemize in shadow theme. Use eamertemplateenumeratealpha to get old behaviour. - Changed syntax of alert and structure templates. - Reworked internals of overlay management. Should produce slightly shorter files. - Changed file names of .jpg and .png images to start with beamer- to avoid name clashes. - Renamed original to eameroriginal because of clash with lucidia font styles. - Streamlined themes to use the same basic templates. - oteitems replaced by ote[enumerate]. - ameslide command is now obsolete. Use the label= option instead. - Removed notesonly option. Use notes=only. - Themes beamerthemesidebartab, beamerthemesidebardark, and beamerthemesidebardarktab are now obsolete. Use beamerthesesidebar will appropriate options instead. - Theme beamerthemetreebars obsolete. Use beamerthemetree with option bars instead. - Removed compressnotes option. Use eamertemplatenotecompress instead. Removed: - Removed pauses environment (no longer needed). - Improved pgf makes pgfonly superfluous. Use only instead. - Removed reproducable .pdf example files from repository for faster cvs checkout/checkin. - Removed invisibleon command (was superfluous anyway). - Removed mixinon command (was not very useful and clashes with new pause command; use opaqueness instead). - Removed ewoverlaycommand and enewoverlaycommand. Can be better implemented using ewcommand<>. - Removed article, presentation, and common commands (still quietly tolerated). Should be replaced by mode<article>, mode<presentation>, and mode<all>. - Removed beamer/lyx/doc. Documentation is now incorporated in the main user's guide. LyX: - Added a big example file beamerlyxexample1.lyx. - Changed ableofcontents command so that options can be given in LyX. - Changed frame command in LyX so that options can be given. - Added overprint and overlayarea environments. - Added againframe command. - Changed beamer.layout to use new command column. Old environment no longer supported in lyx. - A new frame and a section or subsection will automatically close the previous frame. EndFrame is only needed before the end of the document, before the appendix, and before out-of-frame material. - Added TitleGraphic command. - Documented the LyX interface in beameruserguide.pdf. Bugfixes: - Fixed bugs with jumping blocks in overlays. - Fixed bug with tabbing in beamerbaseboxes. - Added work-around for problem with black background in older versions of acroread. - Fixed problems with linebreak in short title and short author in sidebar themes. pgf version 0.60: - Replaced some commands for the postscript code by shorter versions for smaller file size. - Fixed bug in pgfbox command that caused incorrect kerning in postscript output. - Fixed bug in pgfsys@defineimage that made page inclusion impossible. - Fixed bug in pgfshading that did not reset dash patterns in shadings in the PostScript version. - Spaces are now allowed inside the pgfpicture environment. - Added pgfgrid command. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your local mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: empheq Author's name: Morten Høgholm Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/empheq Summary description: empheq v1.05b License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The empheq (emphasizing equations) package is designed for two purposes: 1) To allow a multi line equivalent of oxed from amsmath which can be used with all of the display environments from amsmath. 2) To produce arbitrary delimiters for arbitrary math displays. The user-friendly interface allows the user to put a set of equations inside a box thus enhancing the oxed feature of amsmath. As a side effect it's also possible to add material on both sides of the equations including auto-scaling delimiters. It also supports the end-of-theorem markers from ntheorem out of the box, as the problems with those markers can be circumvented by using empheq. This version of empheq is incompatible with versions prior to and including v0.7a. See the empheq manual for how to deal with this. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/empheq 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
