New CTAN Package: Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX (in Russian)
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

On Thu, 8 Mar 2012 Evgeny Baldin submitted the computer-typesetting-using-latex package. Summary description: The book Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX was published by the BHV-Petersburg (Russia) publishing house in 2008 under ISBN 978-5-9775-0230-6. Under the contract with the publishing house, I have now regained exclusive rights to the content and decided to publish it under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA 3.0). License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The book Computer Typesetting Using LaTeX was published by the BHV-Petersburg (Russia) publishing house in 2008 under ISBN 978-5-9775-0230-6. Under the contract with the publishing house, I have now regained exclusive rights to the content and decided to publish it under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-SA 3.0). Please contact me (E.M.Baldin(a)inp.nsk.su) if you require a different type of copyright license for your purposes. This book is a guide to using the LaTeX document preparation system. It describes the complete fundamentals of the typesetting and layout processes and covers at least 1300 LaTeX commands and about 750 packages, styles, and classes that can be used in the typesetting of any documents. It also deals with creating presentations, table layouts, inserting graphics, bibliography and index, and many other tasks. Specific examples demonstrate that publishing systems using LaTeX can handle projects of any scope and complexity. A major part of the book is devoted to the typesetting of mathematical text, which is the key differentiator of LaTeX compared to other word processors. The book was written completely and exclusively by means of LaTeX tools. As the author of both the content and the typesetting, I will greatly appreciate any comments and useful advice on improving the quality of the electronic version of the book. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/info/russian/computer-typesetting-using-latex .

On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 Javier Bezos submitted the soulpos package. Summary description: Fancy underlining License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package combines soul with the savepos mechanism provided by the pdftex engine, so that you can create (almost) arbitrary underlining and similar ``decorations'', including rules, leaders and even pictures (pgf, pstricks, etc.).

CTAN Update: paratype
by CTAN Announcements 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

On Thu, 23 Feb 2012, Pavel Farar submitted an update to the paratype package. Summary description: LaTeX support for free fonts by ParaType License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Added font PT Mono (currently just TrueType format). - My converted Type 1 version of fonts PT Sans and PT Serif is replaced by Type 1 fonts kindly provided by ParaType. It has two important advantages: First, they are of much higher quality. Second, the distribution of the fonts is not limited to TeX. - Added map file paratype-mixed.map that sets Type 1 version of PT Sans and PT Serif and TrueType version of PT Mono. It is just temporary sollution before I get Type 1 version of PT Mono. This map file may disappear in future releases of this package. - Added support for faked styles UprightItalic and Slanted of PT Serif. Requested by A. Jan Kutylowski. There are no font files containing these styles, the styles are generated on the fly. There is small incompatibility: In the previous version of paratype, if you requested slanted shape of PT Serif, it was replaced by italic shape. Now, there is both italic and slanted shape and they are different. - Removed f-ligatures from the TS1 and X2 encodings. They were set explicitely for all encodings on the command line, no matter if they were really needed. - The file paratype.sty sets PTMono-TLF as the default monospaced font. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/paratype .

On Mon, 20 Feb 2012 Igor A. Kotelnikov submitted an update to the gost package. Summary description: BibTeX styles to meet State Standards (GOSTs) of Russia License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nGOST is a bundle of BibTeX styles designed to meet State Standards (GOST) on information, librarianship and publishing issued by The Russian Federation and Interstate Committee of former USSR States. It may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. The latest version of this license is in http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version 2005/12/01 or later. GOST comprises 16 BibTeX styles to format bibliography in English, Russian and Ukrainian according to GOST 7.0.5-2008 and GOST 7.1-2003. Both 8-bit and Unicode (UTF-8) versions of each BibTeX style, in each case offering a choice of sorted and unsorted. Further, 2 more styles, |gost780| and |gost780s| styles (not conforming to effective standards) are retained for backwards compatibility. All BibTeX styles are derived from same master file |gost.dtx| by applying different set of options as shown in the table below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Style | utf8 | strict | modern | eprint | long | sort | natbib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gost780 | | | | | | | gost780s | | | | | | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gost2003 | | + | | + | | | gost2003s | | + | | + | | + | gost2008 | | | + | + | | | gost2008n | | | + | + | | | + gost2008l | | | + | + | + | | gost2008s | | | + | + | | + | gost2008ns | | | + | + | | + | + gost2008ls | | | + | + | + | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ugost2003 | + | + | | + | | | ugost2003s | + | + | | + | | + | ugost2008 | + | | + | + | | | ugost2008n | + | | + | + | | | + ugost2008l | + | | + | + | + | | ugost2008s | + | | + | + | | + | ugost2008ns | + | | + | + | | + | + ugost2008ls | + | | + | + | + | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Style | utf8 | strict | modern | eprint | long | sort | natbib ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Gost2008| style is recommended for most applications. It corresponds to the currently effective Standard 7.0.5-2008. Librarians should use the style |gost2003| instead of |gost2008| to compile a library catalog to meet the Standard 7.1-2003. Use of other styles is explained in |gost.pdf|. What's new in version 1.2 (2012.02.22) 1. Code refactoring. All styles are now generated from single source file. 2. Support for GOST-7.1-2003. The field |medium| is added to reflect type of material. For most entry types |medium| defaults to |text|. 3. Support for |natbib| package. 4. Support for |natbib| package. 5. All modern styles are now compiled with the |eprint| option. What's new in version 1.1 (2012.01.21)} 1. Support for GOST 7.0.5-2008 and GOST 7.1-2003 is provided. 2. |@Online| entry is added to format a reference to electronic resource on Internet. 3. |@MastersThesis| entry is added to format a reference to master's thesis. |@DSciThesis| entry is added to format a reference to doctor of sciences thesis. 4. |Urldate|, |eprint|, |eprintclass|, |eprinttype| fields are added.
