CTAN: ttb changes
by Jim Hefferon 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

The package that I installed yesterday as info/biblio/ttb has been put in info/bibtex/tamethebeast . You can look at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/bibtex/tamethebeast Note in particular that the .pdf now works. (Who knew that saving a .pdf from acrobat by printing to a file would cause it to come out as PostScript document text conforming at level 3.0?) Thank you to the folks who noticed the error, Jim Hefferon

CTAN upload -- enumitem 1.0 and esindex 1.1
by Reinhard Zierke 19 Jul '04

19 Jul '04

----- Forwarded message from Javier Bezos ----- I've uploaded to the DANTE server the files esindex.sty esindex.tex README (zipped as bezos.zip) which should be replace the files currectly under /macros/latex/contrib/bezos =============================================================== With esindex you can write, say, esindex{cañón} and the entry will be correctly alphabetized. This release of esindex works with accented characters in any encoding, or so I hope, and without babel. =============================================================== I've uploaded to the DANTE server the 4 files enumitem.sty enumitem.tex enumitem.pdf README (zipped as enumitem.zip) which should be placed under the new directory /macros/latex/contrib/enumitem Note this package is not placed under contrib/bezos any more. =============================================================== Enumitem is package to customize the three basic lists (enumerate, itemize and description) by means of a set of parameters. It provides most of the flexibility you may want to design your own lists: - fancy labels and fancy refs, - leftmargin, labelsep and labelwidth automatically set, - changes applied globally or only in one of the three types or even in a single list (including topsep) by means of a sort of inheritance, - several description styles (which fix some bad spacing, too), - starting value and resuming the counter, - trivlists properly formatted, - control on page breaking =============================================================== ----- End forwarded message ----- Thank you very much for the upload. I installed the files as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bezos/ and CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/. The latter package moved from the common directory macros/latex/contrib/bezos to a place of its own. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

This area needs more attention; hints on regular expressions from the old set is no more -- which probably doesn't matter (much) since almost no-one uses quote site index any longer. Systems, etc. Expunge mention of the (defunct) 4allTeX CD-ROM under editors and shells (it had long since gone from CD-ROM answer). Mention the MikTeX CD from the CD-ROM answer. Tidied the answer about systems for macintoshes Mathematics: Clarification of answer label mathsize (following c.t.t. thread) Document structure (and similar places): Corrected stupid error in the example in Q-alreadydef Installing (La)TeX files: Whole section moved up to before Fonts in the FAQ (rationalisation) Macros: further explanation in Q-protect New or revised packages (or just ones never before mentioned): MimeTeX mentioned (along with TechExplorer) in label mathml europecv mentioned in label cv highlight reference upgraded (because I now understand it better) chapterfolder mentioned in label docotherdir Presentation: Web version now copes with tables (in a pretty simplistic way) New answers: subsection{Common errors}: label zerochap: Why is my section numbering 0.1...? subsection{Common misunderstandings}: label tocloftwrong: Numbers too large in table of contents, etc. (providing a link from the problem to the solution in answer label tocloft) subsection{Creating bibliographies}: label buildbib: Creating a BibTeX bibliography file subsection{Creating citations}: label usebibtex: 'Normal' use of BibTeX from LaTeX label compactbib: Reducing spacing in the bibliography label bibtocorder: Table of contents rearranges 'unsrt' ordering subsection{Generic macros and techniques} label ifpdf: Am I using PDFTeX? section{The joy of TeX errors}: label altabcr: Alignment tab changed to cr label manymathalph: Too many math alphabets label normalszmiss: ormalsize not defined label missbegdoc: Missing egin{document} label divzero: Graphics division by zero section{Current TeX-related projects}: label extex: outline description of the ExTeX project label xetex: outline description of the XeTeX project subsection{Hyphenation}: label hyphexcept: use of, and pitfalls of, hyphenation exceptions subsection{Page layout}: label outszwrng: the infamous stupid acrobat reader answer subsection{LaTeX programming}: label ltxabbrv: latex abbreviations and (some of) their meanings subsection{Alternative document classes}: label slidecls: a set of hints on presentations
