A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org. It will make its way to your local mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: thrmappendix Author's name: Ben Klemens Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/misc Summary description: A macro package to facilitate moving proofs to an appendix. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Long proofs break the flow of a paper, and should be moved to an appendix. However, this often means the reader has to flip back and forth between the statement of the theorem in the text and the proof in the appendix. This macro solves the problem by letting you write the theorem in the body, and repeat it verbatim just before the proof in the appendix. The abbreviated format for writing up theorems, lemmas, &c. may be useful even if you don't have any proofs in your paper. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

UK English FAQ v3.6
by Robin Fairbairns 13 May '03

13 May '03

i have just installed revised versions of the faq that i maintain on ctan (help/uk-tex-faq), on the web (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq) and for distributors in the usual place. this version is much delayed for various technical reasons: i was close to giving up on it until this lunch-time, when (seemingly) à propos of nothing, the build suddenly started working again. this issue claims to answer 300 questions: the first edition, in december 1994, had 100. because of the delay, my backlog of pending answers is now up to 21 (though some of those are long-term development items), and my list of unresolved requirements has well over 100 entries. other desiderata include: -- a better search engine -- a less demanding means of generating html from the sources -- various technicalities about cross-referencing within the faq suggestions, or offers of help, for the search engine would be very welcome indeed.
