CTAN upload notification: alnumsec
by Reinhard Zierke 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

----- Forwarded message from ctan-upload ----- The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: alnumsec Name and email: Frank Küster Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/alnumsec Summary description: alphanumeric sectioning numbering with standard sectioning commands License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package allows you to use alphanumeric section numbering, e.g.: A. Introduction; III. International Law. It s output is similar to alphanum.sty, but you can use the standard LaTeX sectioning commands. Thus it is possible to switch numbering schemes easily. Greek letters, double letters (bb) and different delimiters around them are supported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new package in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/alnumsec as suggested. However, I added the above announcement text to the README file in that directory. For a cursory visitor, this is a bit more informative than just installation instructions. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN package update: LaTeXPiX
by Jim Hefferon 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and those updates should make their way to your favorite mirror very soon. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: LaTeXPiX Author's name: N.J.H.M. van Beurden Location on CTAN: systems/win32/latexpix License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The eighth CTAN release has the following improvements: * Oval radius is now editable * So called instances can now be saved and loaded again. They act like grouped objects. A number of objects can be saved to an instance file (.lpxi) and be inserted as a grouped single object in your drawings. E.g. a complete two input AND gate can be drawn once, saved to a instance file and be inserted a lot of times to create a logic scheme. * Added some preferences. * Inclusion of bitmap (*.bmp) images is not possible anymore for it is not fully supported by LaTeX. * Improvements made on arc drawing and conversion. * Framebox text rotation can now be specified within a range of -360..360 * Movement, resizing and drawing of objects now by default snaps to grid, by holding the shift key you can move, resize and draw freely without snapping. * Webupdate checker implemented. When a newer version is found on the CTAN server it asks if you want to be redirected. * Major improvements and additions made to the manual. It is not finished yet but a lot better and clearer than the previous releases. * Language editor added again. If you feel like translating LaTeXPiX into your language, please help me. See the manual for details. * Bolditalic texts are possible. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/latexpix 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 -- bgteubner document class
by Reinhard Zierke 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded bgteubner-1_10.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please unpack it to CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bgteubner/, replacing the old files. License stays LPPL with some minor extra remarks. >From the README: I have programmed the bgteubner.cls document class by order of the Teubner Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany. This has been done to ensure that books of this publisher have a unique layout. The publisher has allowed me to distribute the document class with auxilliary files and documentation freely. Unfortunately, most of the documentation is only available in German. Since the document class is intended to generate a unique layout, many things (layout etc.) are fixed and cannot be altered by the user. If you want to use the document class for another purpose than publishing with the Teubner Verlag, this may arrise unwanted restrictions (For instance, the document class provides only two paper sizes: DIN A-5 and 17cm x 24cm; only two font families are supported: Times and European Computer Modern). The document class needs some additional packages, partly relatively new ones, partly packages that are not installed on most TeX installations. A list of needed packages is contained in usefiles.txt. ChangeLog: 2003/10/30 v1.10 - Add proof environment - Smaller indentation for quote, quotation, example, etc. - Spacing around important(*) and theorem-like environments improved - Limits for integrals below and above the sign in displayed equations - Command qed for proofs introduced - Font size in theorem-like environments adjustable (global switch, default is normalsize, now) - Line break in ISBN prohibited - Use the same format for ISSN and ISBN - Class option `layoutraster' removed Attention: Some measures have changed from version 1.07 to 1.10. Thus, the line breaks and page breaks will surely change. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thansk for the upload.

[emanuelevicentini@yahoo.it: GuIT logo package]
by Reinhard Zierke 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Emanuele Vicentini ----- I've uploaded in incoming/ a little compressed tarball (guit.tar.gz) containing source and documentation of guit.sty, a package to typeset GuIT's logo. The package is released under the LPPL. I'd suggest to store tarball's contents in macros/latex/contrib/ Here's an extract from the README file: The guit.sty package provides some commands useful to correctly write the logo of Gruppo Utilizzatori Italiani di TeX (Italian TeX User Group), using the default document color or any other color the user may ever choose, in conformity with logo's scheme as seen on the Group site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Likewise, commands are available that simplify the writing of GuIT acronym's complete expansion and of the correct address of Group's internet site. Optionally, using hyperref, the outputs of the above cited commands can become hyperlinks to Group's site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Documentation available in Italian only. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN submission -- MimeTeX 1.20 (update)
by Reinhard Zierke 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from John Forkosh ----- As per your README.uploads instructions... + what you've uploaded mimetex.zip (version 1.20, to replace support/mimetex/mimetex.zip) + which CTAN node you've uploaded to ftp.dante.de + where you want the files to go support/mimetex Please REPLACE all existing files (mimetex.zip and README) in support/mimetex (and please unzip mimetex.zip README and then place this separate copy of README alongside mimetex.zip in the support/mimetex directory) + what licensing conditions you apply to your software GNU GPL + brief summary of what your upload is intended to do. (a) added picture-like environment, along with picture element commands for circles/ellipses and lines (but not bezier curves yet), see http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#example12 (b) Also: various other changes and fixes, e.g., several delimiters can now be arbitrarily sized ---------------------------------------------------- From the original submission... MimeTeX parses LaTeX math expressions, and emits either mime xbitmaps or gif images of them, rather than the usual TeX dvi's. MimeTeX images are therefore easily imported directly into html documents with the <tag>, e.g., <img src=../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?f(x)=int_{-infty}^x~e^{-t^2}dt border=0 align=absmiddle> without intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion, and without storing lots of little gif files, one file for each converted expression. This makes your web site and html documents more easily maintained. See http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#examples for examples demonstrating mimeTeX's features and usage. MimeTeX is primarily intended to help you maintain native html documents containing math. In this sense it's a kind of lightweight alternative to MathML, with the advantage that mimeTeX preserves LaTeX syntax. Similar non-MathML packages, like textogif and gladTeX, require setup procedures that use TeX to help generate external gif images of your equations, which are later included in your html document as it's being rendered. MimeTeX is, as far as I know, the only such non-MathML package that has its own built-in parser and rendering engine, entirely independent of TeX, and therefore requires no setup procedure or external images whatsoever. It renders realtime, on-the-fly images directly from LaTeX math expressions embedded in html documents. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:/support/mimetex/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded isodate-2_11.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please replace the files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/isodate by its contents. License stays LPPL. This version adds support for printing months with Roman numerals, e.g., 14.,X.~2003. >From the README: Tune the output format of dates. This package provides ten output formats of the commands oday, printdate, printdateTeX, and daterange (partly language dependent): ISO (yyyy-mm-dd), numeric (e.g. dd.,mm.~yyyy), short (e.g. dd.,mm.,yy), TeX (yyyy/mm/dd), original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy), short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy), as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month. The commands printdate and printdateTeX print any date. The date is given as an argument using the actual date format for output: printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or printdate{dd/mm/yyyy}, and printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}. The command daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary year or month entries. E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'.

License stays LPPL. >From the README: Print numbers with a separator every three digits and convert numbers given as 12345.6e789 to 12,345,6cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach 12,345.6 imes 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to a given number of digits. If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the number format. Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and after the formatted number. If you prefer to use the old version 0.32 you may use numprint032.sty which will stay fixed. The main new features are automatic language support and a really usable tabular alignment. Change log: - 1.10 2003/10/12 New tabular aligment mechanism (now comparable to dcolumn and rccol) with full support of all numprint formats. Math version npbold which aligns with normal math alphabet. Don't use substr package. Provide pmakebox command that works as makebox but takes a text instead of a length for calculating its width. - 1.00 2003/10/07 Automatically add a plus to numbers without sign. Define shortcut p for umprint on demand. Automatic support for different number formats in different languages (already supported are English and German). Better argument parsing. Automatically don't separate degree sign from number. Customize input characters (decimal sign, exponent character). Define a list of ignored characters. User defined signs exceeding +,-, and pm. Load configuration file if present. Improved calculation of box width for mantissa and exponent. Entirely new implementation (about 90% new code). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested replacing the old one in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/numprint Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
