Joseph Rabinoff submitted the spalign package. Version number: 2016-10-05 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Typeset matrices and arrays with spaces and semicolons as delimiters. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The purpose of this package is to decrease the number of keystrokes needed to typeset small amounts of aligned material (matrices, arrays, etc.). It provides a facility for typing alignment environments and macros with spaces as the alignment delimiter and semicolons (by default) as the end-of-row indicator. For instance, typeset a matrix using spalignmat{1 12 -3; 24 -2 2; 0 0 1}, or a vector using spalignvector{22 frac{1}{2} -14}. This package also contains utility macros for typesetting augmented matrices, vectors, arrays, systems of equations, and more, and is easily extendable to other situations that use alignments. People who have to typeset a large number of matrices (like linear algebra teachers) should find this package to be a real time saver. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/spalign More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/spalign We are supported by the TeX User Groups.

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the footnotehyper package. Version number: 0.9f 2016-10-03 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: hyperref aware footnote.sty Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bugfix 1: the footnote environment provided by footnote.sty (which allows verbatim material) was made hyperref aware in a previous release; but this was done in a way which made it unreactive to the savenotes/spewnotes mechanism ... bugfix 2: the footnote environment of footnote.sty raises an error when used with an optional argument, but I was not aware of that. This update fixes these bugs and makes both the footnote and footnotetext environments fully functional, in an hyperref aware way. Note 1: auxiliary macros for these environments are inherited from footnote.sty but their construction there is susceptible to fail as soon as @makefntext has been modified by some package in any significant way. Note 2: hyperref does not create hyperlinks in the case of a footnotemark[N] followed by a footnotetext[N]{foo}. This fact, which applies also to the case of a footnotetext environment with the optional argument is _not_ changed by the package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/footnotehyper More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/footnotehyper We are supported by the TeX User Groups.

Jabir Ali Ouassou submitted the eulerpx package. Version: 0.1 2016-10-01 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: A modern interface for the Euler math fonts Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides the `eulerpx' font, which started as a hybrid of multiple other font packages, notably eulervm and newpxmath. Its purpose is twofold: (1) To use the eulervm symbols for greek and latin, but the newpxmath font for braces and brackets, and the text font for digits and operators; (2) To make it easy to change between a sans and serif font for the digits and operators, so that the font can be used seamlessly in documents using both. This package was put together with the intent to use it with the Palatino and Optima fonts (newpxtext and classico), but may work with other combinations too. To use the package, add this to your preamble: usepackage{eulerpx} You may use the sfmath and mmath macros to switch between serif and sans fonts for the digits and operators. For instance, if you use a KOMA-Script class, you can put the following in your preamble to switch all footnotes to a sans font: addtokomafont{footnote}{sffamilysfmath} Note that in contrast to the eulervm package, bold math characters are accessed through the mathbf macro. If the option `utf8' is provided, the package will also declare the Greek unicode range; i.e., if the package is included with usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage[utf8]{eulerpx} then you may write your equations in the form $α+β$ instead of $alpha+eta$. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/eulerpx The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/eulerpx/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Charles P. Schaum submitted an update to the nameauth package. Version number: 2.6 2016-09-19 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.6 of the nameauth package accounts for names that are split by a page break by making an index entry before and after the name. Affix commas in the text (comma option and old syntax) no longer affect the index. The old syntax is virtually interchangeable with the new (apart from the cross-indexing macros). One easily can suppress commas or add commas after affixes. Many documentation improvements not only try to display the subject matter in a more succinct and understandable manner, but a number of special cases are covered. More examples help those looking for specialty formats and applications, especially in cross-cultural uses. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/nameauth We are supported by the TeX User Groups.

This proposal starts from a brief introduction of TeX, then steps further into its fascinating application on academic writing and dissertation formatting. In the end, a set of possible implementation strategies with regard to the proper introduction of TeX and relevant resources to our university, is proposed. Features: * Proposal with clear thinking and full reasoning; * Lots of survey data and charts; * A number of links and reference documents; * Analysis with Reasoning, Dependencies and Detailed Measures; * Most importantly, the proposal is written in LaTeX, which is an example of TeX use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/texproposal The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/info/texproposal/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

In addition to the file creation they either store the (verbatim) contents in a macro (`filecontentsdef`) or typeset them (verbatim) on the spot (`filecontentshere`). I developed this to display TeX code verbatim in documentation and simultaneously produce during the LaTeX run the corresponding files in order to embed them in the PDF as _file attachment annotations_ (via the services of Scott Pakin's further package [attachfile] [2].)

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the attachfile package. Version number: 1.9 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Attach arbitrary files to a PDF document Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting with PDF 1.3 (Adobe Acrobat 4.0), PDF files can contain file attachments -- arbitrary files that a reader can extract, just like attachments to an e-mail message. The attachfile package brings this functionality to pdfLaTeX and LuaLaTeX and provides some additional features not available in Acrobat, such as the ability to use arbitrary LaTeX code for the file icon -- including things like includegraphics, tabular, and math. Settings can be made either globally or on a per-attachment basis. attachfile makes it easy to attach files and customize their appearance in the enclosing document. Version 1.9 of attachfile issues an error message instead of failing silently if an invalid icon name is requested. Thanks to Jean-François Burnol for inadvertently stumbling across the problem and submitting a bug report. attachfile now correctly handles the case of filenames with no extension. Finally, the documentation has been updated to suggest using the luatex85 when using attachfile with LuaLaTeX 0.85+. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/attachfile The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/attachfile ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
