CTAN Update: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2e [2013/01/10] This version should be the last one in the 1.2 series as it seems to correct most of the main problems which were introduced with the massive use of mathematically active characters in versions 1.2 and 1.2b. * It is indeed a thorny point when one wants to modify only in math mode how an active character acts, without breaking things. The package now does that /only/ if the activation appears to originate in the Babel system, as it is then possible to modify appropriately the Babel macros user@active<char> and ormal@char<char>. The relevant issues are discussed in section 2.10 of the user manual, in the test file testmathastextalphabets.tex, and in the source code comments to the macro mst@mathactivate. The inherent incompatibility of Babel with packages having made mathematically active the characters itself makes document active is circumvented by this interference of mathastext. A generally applicable Babel patch could be derived from the method used by mathastext. * The technique of mathematical activation is maintained only for the characters which are not catcode active (at the entrance in math mode, as mathastext does all its activation job at everymath and everydisplay). * Sadly, the feature of added italic corrections introduced in version 1.2b did not behave as described in the user manual, due to forgotten group braces. Fixed. * The command MTlowerast from the user manual of v1.2d was not the one implemented in the source code. Fixed. * The test files automatically extracted from a latex run on the dtx file have been revised and extended. * The code is better documented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .

CTAN Update: IEEEtrantools
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Michael Shell submitted an update to the ieeetrantools package. Summary description: The IEEEtrantools.sty package provides several commands from the IEEEtran.cls file so that they can be used under other LaTeX classes. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce the release of the v1.3 update to the IEEEtrantools LaTeX package. IEEEtrantools.sty provides several commands from IEEEtran.cls, including IEEEPARstart and the IEEEeqnarray family so that they may be used under other class files. Version 1.3 is based on version 1.8 of IEEEtran.cls. Notable changes include: 1) No longer redefines the standard LaTeX itemize, enumerate and description (IED) lists by default. (e.g., the older package option retainorgcmds is now the default behavior.) A new package option, redeflists, can be invoked to redefine the standard IED list environments to their IEEE versions. IEEEitemize, IEEEenumerate and IEEEdescription remain available in any case. The redeflists option may not be compatible with other packages that alter the standard IED list environments. 2) Added new *-forms of IEEEyesnumber*, IEEEnonumber*, IEEEyessubnumber*, and IEEEnosubnumber* (the non-star form of the latter is also new) which persist across IEEEeqnarray lines until countermanded. To provide for continued subequations across instances of IEEEeqnarrays as well as for subequations that follow a main equation (e.g., 14, 14a, 14b ...) IEEEyessubnumber no longer automatically increments the equation number on it's first invocation of a subequation group. Invoke both IEEEyesnumberIEEEyessubnumber together to start a new equation/subequation group. 3) Hyperref links now work with IEEEeqnarray equations. Thanks to Stefan M. Moser for reporting this problem. 4) Now provides the IEEEproof environment, as well as the IEEEQEDhere, IEEEQEDhereeqn and IEEEQEDoff commands. Also, IEEEproofindentspace allows users to change the IEEEproof indentation via enewcommand. Thanks to Mark D. Butala, Hennadiy Leontyev and Stefan M. Moser for suggesting this. Special thanks to Stefan M. Moser for beta testing and additional suggestions which improved IEEEproof. See the changelog.txt file for full details. Enjoy!

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package.

This is fixed here. * various improvements in dealing with the asterisk and in the mechanism of letting non-letter symbols obey the math alphabet commands. * documentation extended and improved. * mathastext now inserts automatically after all (latin) letters in math mode their italic corrections, if the font used is upright (sic). This improves the spacings for the positioning of subscripts. The feature is de-activated inside the math alphabets commands (apart from mathnormal), so as to not prohibit the formation of ligatures, * the documentation has been extended to explain in detail the issues which are relevant to the new feature of added italic corrections, * version 1.2 had some bad bugs when confronted to active characters. This is corrected and additionally MTnonletters- -donotobeymathxx is made the default, as the user input is too much constrained in its absence. * a less fatal, but still annoying, typo had made the dot in 1.2 of type mathpunct rather than mathord * the inner namespace has been rationalized a bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/ .

CTAN Update mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * A new command sets up the amount of space to be automatically inserted before the derivative glyph (useful when using an upright font). * The scope of the math alphabets has been extended to apply to the non-alphabetical characters, and also to operator names. In usual math mode $mathbf{(sin(n!)<cos(x)?)}$ changes only the font for n and x. With mathastext and if not told otherwise, /everything/ in the formula above will respond to mathbf (and the automatic spaces are left untouched). * The documentation has been improved. The package file is self-extracting from the dtx, and four additional test files are also produced during `latex mathastext.dtx'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .

CTAN Update: etoc
by CTAN Announcements 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the etoc package. Summary description: easily customizable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.06 1. With previous versions, macros such as l@section recovered their standard meanings only in compatibility mode at the time of typesetting TOCs. With this version, it is the opposite: macros such as l@section or l@subsection have throughout the document their standard meanings, which means that they can be customized (even if no package has added to them customizing hooks) and that the compatibility mode of etoc will obey this. 2. The .toc file is now read into memory at the time of usepackage{etoc} and it is opened for write operation at the first TOC typesetting command. Prior, both happened at the egin{document}. 3. The commands added by the package to the .toc file are declared to the external world to do nothing. Hence some other package can also load the .toc file (this must happen before the first typeset TOC) and execute its contents. (related to the point 2 above.) 4. A number of superfluous global's and a few gdef's, which were left-overs from the war against bugs in the developing stages of the code, were removed. 5. The documentation has been updated and improved. An unclear statement about secnumdepth has been corrected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etoc .
