Summary description: easily customisable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.07e [2013/03/01] The minor updates during the previous month have brought some various improvments to the code, and relatively important changes: * v1.07b removed the xspace previously used in etocname, etocnumber, etocpage. This could mean that some sources will have to be edited, my apologies for that. * v1.07e (this update) completely modifies the (unsatisfactory) use of penalties and vertical spaces in the package `own line styles'. The changes could cause documents having made use of these etoc default line styles to compile a bit differently, my apologies for that. The documentation has been gradually extended to include more and more examples of various uses of the package. Are now explained, among others: * an example of an `inline' TOC with the subsections and the sub-subsections being typeset as footnotes to the sections, * an example of a TOC using the LaTeX default layout except for the subsections of one given section, * an example of a TOC listing all TOCs of the documents, * an example of a subsection which is itself a TOC on three columns displaying all subsections of the document, * and the latest addition: a TOC displayed as a tree.

Additionally, the scaling and stretching commands offer constraints on maximum width and/or minimum aspect ratio, which are often used to preserve legibility or for general appearance sake. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/scalerel .

Notice: removal of Ghostscript from CTAN
by CTAN Announcements 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

the CTAN team have long maintained mirrors of third-party products, that have some relevance for TeX and related applications. unfortunately, we now find that many such sites have changed so that it is very difficult to keep up with modifications automatically. an important example is ghostscript; our mirroring mechanism has failed, and CTAN had been holding a version several releases old. i have therefore deleted the ghostscript sub-tree from the archive, and modified the ghostscript catalogue entry to direct potential users to the ghostscript home page. our apologies for any inconvenience.
