biblatex-gb7714-2015: a biblatex style package
-------------------------------------------------
Maintainer: huzhenzhen <hzzmail(a)163.com>
Homepage: <https://github.com/hushidong/biblatex-gb7714-2015>
The biblatex-gb7714-2015 package provides an implementation
of the GBT7714-2015 bibliography style. This implementation
follows GBT7714-2015 standard and can be used by simply
loading biblatex with the appropriate option:
% for numerical sequence:
`usepackage[backend=biber,style=gb7714-2015]{biblatex}`
% for author year sequence:
`usepackage[backend=biber,style=gb7714-2015ay]{biblatex}`
A demonstration database is provided to show how to format
input for the style.
The biblatex-gb7714-2015 style works with texlive2014,
texlive2015, texlive2016 and so on.
Please see the file 'biblatex-gb7714-2015.pdf' for more information!

Summary description: Convert LaTeX source to Braille with math in Nemeth
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After many failed attempts to transcribe real math notes and
books to Braille/Nemeth in order to deal with a real situation
(blind student in Math Dept.) we decided to develop a new program
that follows a direct, from LaTeX to Braille/Nemeth, approach.
Other attempts (such as tex4ht) failed because they all needed
an extra step to go from xml to Braille and this step (say, with
liblouis) produced incomprehensible output (liblouis focuses in
Office apps).
Our main target was the Greek language which is only Braille level 1,
but English at level 1 is also supported. Simple pictures in pstricks
are also supported in order to produce tactile graphics with specialized
equipment.
The README file contains documentation and links to the project
pages. License is GPL3 or newer.
At the moment this is the only project we are aware of that
has published real Math University Notes and Books in Braille.
Check http://myria.math.aegean.gr/labs/dt/braille/index-en.html
Embossing needs LibreOffice and odt2braille so that we do not need
to deal with embossers' drivers.

It covers a range of subfields in linguistics.
(In fact, this is the package introduced a short while

from the tree-dvips bundle.)

Masamichi Hosoda submitted the
extractpdfmark
package.
Version: 1.0.0
License: gpl3
Summary description: Extract page mode and named destinations as PDFmark from PDF
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you create a PDF document by something like TeX systems, many small
PDFs as figures get included into the main PDF. It is common for each
small PDF to use the same fonts.
If the small PDFs are embedded subsetted fonts, the TeX system includes
them as-is for the main PDF. As a result, the main PDF is embedded
different subsets of the same duplicate font. It is not possible to
remove the duplicates since they are different subsets. It enormously
increases the main PDF file size.
On the other hand, if the small PDFs are embedded full set fonts,
the TeX system also includes all of them for the main PDF.
The main PDF is embedded many duplicate fonts, but they are
all same full set fonts. Therefore, Ghostscript can remove
the duplicates. It can reduce the main PDF files size.
Moreover, if the small PDFs are not embedded any fonts, the
TeX system outputs the main PDF which lacks some fonts.
In this case, Ghostscript can embed the necessary fonts.
It can significantly reduce the required disk size.
Either way, Ghostscript inputs the main PDF which is outputted
by the TeX system, and outputs the final PDF. Unfortunately,
during this process, Ghostscript does not preserve PDF page-mode
and named-destinations etc. As a result, when you open the final
PDF, it cannot realize the intended how the document shall be
displayed. Remote PDF links also do not work.
Extract PDFmark can extract page mode and named destinations as
PDFmark from PDF. You can get the small PDF that has preserved
them by using this tool.
