New CTAN package: SQLTeX
by Jim Hefferon 07 Mar '02

07 Mar '02

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org. It should make its way through the mirroring process 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: SQLTeX Author's name: Oscar van Eijk Location on CTAN: support/SQLTeX Summary description: An SQL Preprocessor for LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SQLTeX is a well documented preprocessor to enable the use of SQL statements in LaTeX . It is a perl script that reads an input file containing the LaTeX source with SQL commands, and writes a LaTeX file that can be processed with your LaTeX package. The SQL commands will be replaced by their values. It's possible to select a single field for substitution substitution in your LaTeX document, or to be used as input in another SQL command. When an SQL command returns multiple fields and or rows, the values can only be used for substitution in the document. This version only supports MySQL databases. It has been tested on Linux, but should work an all platforms where Perl is installed. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

by Reinhard Zierke 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

----- Forwarded message from Mark Potse ----- I just uploaded version 1.0.1 of the WEBFILES package to CTAN. Although the last release was two years ago, there are few changes. The code for PDF links has been improved, the color of links changed from red to blue to conform with other packages, and the documentation now mentions that recent versions of Levy & Knuth's cweave should be run with the +e flag to work correctly with webfiles.sty!

CTAN submission -- preview-latex 0.6
by Reinhard Zierke 19 Feb '02

19 Feb '02

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.6.tar.gz and preview-0.6.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL. I would recommend installing it in the following way: Put the packed archive preview-latex-0.6.tar.gz under support/preview-latex/ and unpack the README from it to support/preview-latex/README Create a symbolic link from support/preview-latex/preview-latex.tar.gz to preview-latex-0.6.tar.gz so that people can always get the newest version under this name. Unpack preview-0.6.tar.gz in the directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ It contains just README-preview, preview.dtx and preview.ins. The reason is that the preview.dtx file can also be used as a standalone LaTeX style for extracting selected elements from a LaTeX source into separate pages of a DVI file. Previous versions of preview-latex can be deleted. Here are the release notes: Release notes for version 0.6 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex is a system for displaying inline images of selected parts of a file in Emacs source buffers. It is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, GNU Emacs-21.1, AUC TeX, a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. XEmacs support is not yet operative, and contributions would be welcome. Due to missing image support of Emacs-21.1 under Microsoft Windows, this platform is not usable at the current point of time, either. Release focus is user interface improvements and documentation. Main point has been an attempt to refrain from disabling previews unless the text under it has indeed changed and not just been replaced by something identical or decorated with font-lock. This makes preview-latex behave better when filling paragraphs, for example. Menu entries for clearing out previews again have been added, and temporary directories are removed when leaving Emacs. A TeXinfo manual has been started. Provision has been made for configuration files prdefault.cfg and prauctex.cfg for commonly defined operations. The latter file is provided and installed. User feedback about errors and suggested feature improvements is welcome and heeded. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. For users of RedHat linux, a RPM is provided at the above site primarily for RH 7.x. The RPM requires a few packages: * GhostScript 6.51 is included in RH 7.2, but if you use an earlier release it can be downloaded from the RH7.2 updates, <URL:ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i386/> * AUC TeX can be found at several places, but if you want the latest 11.11 (alpha, but stable AFAIK) with no known issues concerning preview-latex, an RPM can be found at the project homepage. * Finally, Emacs-21.1 can be downloaded from rawhide, <URL:ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/>. I installed this using 'rpm -i --nodeps --force', which worked for me, but since it does not follow the usual emacs + emacs-X11 + emacs-nox, YMMV. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version in CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ and CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ as suggested. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

Uploads: smallcap.sty, moresize and varsects.sty
by Robin Fairbairns 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

Daniel taupin has provided various things to ctan: 1. smallcap.sty: smallcap.sty make small caps be a font family rather than a shape. This allows bold and slanted small caps to be available (EC fonts do exist). This family is called T1cmsc, and t1cmsc.fd is provided with the style. 2. moresize.zip Daniel Taupin's moresize.sty provides upper sizes corresponding to standard size increase of 1.2 above 3583. Fit for higher sizes 'giant', 'Giant' and 'GIANT' (above 'huge', 'Huge' and 'HUGE'). Compatible but more extended with Christian Cornelssen's version of 'moresize.sty'. Requires extended *.fd, provided with the package. 3. varsects.sty Package varsects.sty redefines chapter, section, subsection... etc. with optional parameters changing vertical space before and after the title, and the font size, series, shape or family of this title. Usage is obvious when looking in the contents of the file. i have installed all these files in macros/latex/contrib/supported/taupin thanks, daniel, for the uploads.

CTAN submission -- BibTool 2.46
by Reinhard Zierke 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

----- Forwarded message from Gerd Neugebauer ----- I have uploaded the following two files to ftp.dante.de/incoming BibTool-2.46.tar.gz BibTool-html.tar.gz The first one is meant to replace the file biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/BibTool-2.45.tar.gz. The second file should be unpacked in the same directory to update the HTML gif and dvi files residing there (The new HTML version of the manual isn't availlable yet). BibTool is distributed under the GPL. The Readme file follows. ====================================================================== BibTool: A Tool for Manipulating BibTeX Data Bases BibTeX provides an easy to use means to integrate citations and bibliographies into LaTeX documents. But the user is left alone with the management of the BibTeX files. The program BibTool is intended to fill this gap. BibTool allows the manipulation of BibTeX files which goes beyond the possibilities --- and intentions --- of BibTeX. The possibilities of BibTool include * Pretty-printing BibTeX data bases adjustable by lots of parameters. * Syntactic checks with error recovery superior to BibTeX and helpful error messages. * Semantic checks can be specified by the user. * Sorting and merging of BibTeX data bases according to a free definable sort key. * Generation of uniform reference keys according to predefined rules or according to an own specification. * Selecting references used in one publication which are found by analyzing an .aux file. * Selecting references by a set of criteria (regular expressions). * Controlled rewriting of fields utilizing regular expressions to specify the rewriting rules. * Macro (String) expansion to eliminate the need of extra string definitions. * Collecting statistics about one or more BibTeX data bases. BibTool contains a documentation written in LaTeX of more than 60 pages (and still growing). BibTool is written in C and has been compiled on various operating systems like flavors of UN*X and MSDOG machines. It is distributed in source code. No compiled versions are available from the author (Useless to ask!). BibTool can be obtained from the CTAN archives: * ftp.dante.de:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool * ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool * ctan.tug.org:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool Get the file BibTool-x.xx.tar.gz where x.xx is the version number. Unpack it with the command (on UN*X) gunzip < BibTool-x.xx.tar.gz | tar -xvf - Alternatively get the file BibTool-x.xx.zip where x.xx is the version number. Unpack it with the command unzip BibTool-x.xx.zip It will create a directory named BibTool-x.xx which contains the installation instructions in the file INSTALL. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested in CTAN:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/ replacing the ild files. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

New CTAN package: LogFilter
by Jim Hefferon 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring process in the next day or two. A word about the license: this package is `nosource', meaning that it is supplied in binary format (a .jar file) and the source code for it is not made available. This renders the software non-free in the sense of the Debian Free Software Guidelines and many other free software advocates. Please note, however, that the license *does* allow free use and distribution of the software, but modification is generally not possible. For more, see the following link. http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.html Thanks for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org =================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: LogFilter Author's name: Kasper B. Graversen Location on CTAN: nonfree/support/logfilter Summary description: LogFilter is a program that monitors the logfiles (La)TeX/PDF(La) produces and presents them in an interactive environment to the author License type: nosource Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LogFilter is a program that monitors the logfiles TeX/LaTeX produces and presents them in an interactive environment to the user. The program lets the user choose which errors he cares to see. Furthermore LogFilter integrates with your editor so that when pressing an error, your editor will open the tex file and jump to the according line. It should work on any sane OS with Java (or JRE) installed - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
