footmisc.dtx v5.3
by Robin Fairbairns 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

i have just installed a new version of footmisc.sty in ctan directory macros/latex/contrib/footmisc changes from the previous version are: - mending a bug about per-page footnote numbers in a gather environment - added DefineFNsymbol* variant - some new predefined symbol sets - symbol* option uses symbol set lamport*-robust - hanging footnotes may hang for more than one paragraph (misfeature correction) many of the changes were suggested by frank mittelbach, as part of his on-going attempts to produce something he actually liked documenting for the latex companion. it's been a long time since he asked for anything new, so i'm guessing it's time to submit this new version for the world's attention.

----- Forwarded message from Peter Furlan ----- I've uploaded version 4.3.3 of the program TeXCad32 to nova.dante.de/incoming/texcad32. I suggest to create a directory systems/win32/texcad32 for it. Licence: TeXCad32 is under the LPPL. Summary: TeXCad32 is a clone of the DOS program Texcad running under Windows from Win95. It is desined to create mathematical drawings with as much WYSIWYG as possible. The output consists either of Emtex-specials or of postscript elements for lines/circles together with LaTeX texts in a picture- environment. Via postscript-pdf conversion also pdflatex is supported. Examples are found on the homepage http://www.das-gelbe-rechenbuch.de/Texcad32/ Best regards and thanks for your work Peter Furlan ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I'm sorry for the delay but I finally installed this in CTAN:graphics/texcad32 next to graphics/tktexcad and graphics/xtexcad. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

DVI viewer menu command lets you convert pages of a DVI file into PNG files wrapped into navigation HTML pages. This approach is useful for documents with complex graphics, such as slides. In advance, BaKoMa TeX is ready to use `HEVEA' and/or `TTH' convertors. Launching of these convertors is available via extra TABS of `TeX|Generate HTML ...' editor command. Including graphics is well integreated with BaKoMa TeX graphical engine. In this reason, you can insert everithing supported by BaKoMa TeX into generated HTML pages. SVG GENERATION FEATURES BaKoMa TeX 5.50 introduces generation of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) from a DVI files. Ability to add animation to the SVG output, makes it the best for producing high quality presentations. Sample of animated presentation is available at: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/samples/index.html Key Features: SVG output is compatible with another output formats (PDF, PS, HTML, View, and Print) so, that the same graphical formats, font formats, and other features are supported. In details: * All TeX Formats (LaTeX 2e, LaTeX 2.09, AmSTeX, Plain TeX) are supported. * TeX extensions (e-TeX and Omega) are supported. * ALL LaTeX packages (including PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics, draftcopy, etc.) are supported. * Graphical formats: EPS, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, HPGL, and DXY are supported. * More generally, Any imported or embedded Postscript is supported. * Hyperref is supported, including outline and links.
