Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version: 2.8 2016-04-05 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. Version 2.8 of hyperxmp fixes a bug that caused inadvertent lowercasing of non-Latin letters appearing in the metadata when using XeLaTeX orLuaLaTeX. Thanks to Leonid Sinev for reporting the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp/ We are supported by the TeX users groups.

The use of article threads typically only makes sense in a document in which the text is in a multi-column format. Set the article threads after the composition of the document is completed.

Robert Alessi submitted the arabluatex package. Version number: 1.0.1 License type: gpl2 Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides for an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic writing from an ascii transliteration. It is particularly well-suited for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing. arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeX input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet to come to produce from .tex source files, in addition to printed books, TEI xml compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/arabluatex More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/arabluatex We are supported by the TeX user groups.

CTAN update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Version number: 2.3b License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command `pdfannot` for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using `pdfannot` to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers may vary. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: **LPPL** Changes in v2.3b: * Bugfix: incorrect vertical position of superscripts with `pdftooltip` reported and patched by Ross Moore * Bugfix: change zero width in `pdfcomment` and `pdfmargincomment` to make the comments visible in both Evince and the internal viewer of TeXStudio reported by shaniaki (BitBucket #7) * improve appearance of tooltips with Mac Preview (at least) feature request by Ross Moore * expand comment argument in `pdftooltip` before pushing it through `pdfstringdef` feature request by Robert Terwilliger (Bitbucket #18) * added `pdfencoding=auto` while loading `hyperref` Needed for Unicode bookmarks in `XeTeX` and `LuaTeX` * dropped support for `pdfreply` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfcomment We are supported by the TeX users groups.
