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 . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mathastext (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

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 .

New on CTAN: etoc
by CTAN Announcements 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted the etoc package to CTAN. Summary description: easily customizable TOCs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The etoc package gives the user complete control on how the entries of the table of contents should be constituted from the name, number, and page number of each sectioning unit. This goes via the definition of line styles for each sectioning level used in the document. The package provides its own custom line styles as an example, next to the standard formatting inherited from the LaTeX document classes. But the idea is to give the means to the user to delegate the details to packages dealing with list making environments (such as enumitem). Regarding the global style, etoc typesets by default tables of contents in a multi-column format, with either a standard heading, or a ruled title, optionally with a frame around the table of contents. The ableofcontents command can be used arbitrarily many times in the same document, and comes with a starred variant which gives local table of contents. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/etoc .
