CTAN update: expltools
by CTAN Announcements 25 Jun '25

25 Jun '25

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version number: 2025-06-24 License type: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## expltools 2025-06-24 ### explcheck v0.11.0 #### Development This version of explcheck has implemented the following new features: - Detect base forms of deprecated conditional function names. (#95, c96332f, 3a4dfbf) - Improve support for low-confidence function variant definitions. (#99) - Previously, when unexpected material was encountered in variant argument specifiers, variants for all possible sets of specifiers were expected to be defined with low confidence. However, for base functions with many specifiers, this behavior was disabled because it would lead to a combinatorial explosion. After this change, all possible variants are efficiently encoded using a pattern, which allowed us to support arbitrarily many arguments. - Recognize more argument specifiers in function (variant) definitions. (#99) This includes support for c-type csname arguments and non-n-type replacement text arguments. In the latter case, the replacement text is not analyzed and the function is assumed to be defined with unknown replacement text. - Add support for detecting function use in c- and v-type arguments. (#99) Previously, if a function `\__example_foo:n` was defined and then used as `\use:c { __example_foo:n }`, issue W401 (Unused private function) would be raised. After this change, issues like W401 and W402 (Unused private function variant) are no longer reported in such cases. Furthermore, if a c- or v-type argument can only be partially understood, such as `\use:c { __example_foo: \unexpected }`, a pattern `__example_foo:*` is generated and functions whose name matches the pattern are marked as used with low confidence. However, such pattern is only produced when at least N tokens from the argument can be recognized, where N is given by a new Lua option `min_simple_tokens_in_csname_pattern` (default is 5 tokens). - Require more context cues to determine that the whole file is in expl3 when the Lua option `expl3_detection_strategy` is set to "auto", which it is by default. (#99) Previously, any expl3-like material, as defined by the LPEG parser `expl3like_material`, would have been sufficient. However, several packages such as rcs and fontinst would place colons (:) directly after control sequences, confusing the detector. Therefore, N separate instances of expl3-like material are now required, where N is given by a new Lua option `min_expl3like_material` (default is 5 instances). - Recognize indirect applications of creator functions via `\cs_generate_from_arg_count:NNnn` as function definitions. (#99) - Add module `explcheck-latex3.lua` that includes LPEG parsers and other information extraction from LaTeX3 data files. (#99) This module was previously named `explcheck-obsolete.lua` and only included information about deprecated control sequences extracted from the file `l3obsolete.txt`. The new module also contains registered LaTeX module names extracted from the file `l3prefixes.csv`. This new information is used to determine whether a control sequence is well-known in order to reduce false positive detections of issues such as E408 (Calling an undefined function). - Add more support for semantic analysis. (#99) This adds support for the following new issues from Section 4 of the document titled [_Warnings and errors for the expl3 analysis tool_][warnings-and-errors]: 1. T400[^t400] (Expanding an unexpandable variable or constant) 2. E408[^e408] (Calling an undefined function) 3. E411 (Indirect function definition from an undefined function) This concludes all planned issues from Section 4.1 (Functions and conditional functions) from this document. [^t400]: This issue has later been moved to Section 3 of the same document and renamed to T305, since it can be detected by the syntactic analysis already. [^e408]: By default, all standard library prefixes, defined by the parser `expl3_standard_library_prefixes`, as well as registered prefixes from the file `l3prefixes.csv` are excluded from this error. Besides well-known prefixes, you may also declare other imported prefixes using a new Lua option `imported_prefixes`. For example, here is how your config file `.explcheckrc` might look if you use the function `\precattl_exec:n` from the package precattl: ``` csv [defaults] imported_prefixes = ["precattl"] ``` - Add command-line options `--config-file` and `--no-config-file`. (suggested by @muzimuzhi in #101, implemented in #99) - Add Lua option `fail_fast` that controls whether the processing of a file stops after the first step that produced any errors. The default value is `true`, which means that the processing stops after the first error. (#99) #### Warnings and errors This version of explcheck has made the following changes to the document titled [_Warnings and errors for the expl3 analysis tool_][warnings-and-errors]: - Gray out issues that are only planned and not yet implemented. (#99) - Remove the planned issue E406 (Multiply defined function). (#99) Semantic analysis wouldn't be able to distinguish between multiply defined functions and functions that are defined in different code paths that never meet. - Remove issue W407 (Multiply defined function variant) and plan for a replacement issue W501 of the same name for the flow analysis. (#99) Semantic analysis can't distinguish between multiply defined variants and variants that are defined in different code paths that never meet. - Merge the planned issues E408 (Calling an undefined function) and E409 (Calling an undefined function variant) into E408. (#99) - Plan for a flow-aware variant E504 (Function variant for an undefined function) of issue E405 of the same name. (#99) - Add extra examples for planned issue E500 (Multiply defined function). (#99) - Include functions `\*_count:N` in the planned issue T420 (Using a variable of an incompatible type). (suggested by @FrankMittelbach in latex3/latex3#1754, fixed in #97 and #99) - Remove issue T400 (Expanding an unexpandable variable or constant) and create a corresponding issue T305 for the syntactic analysis. (#99) - Plan for a flow-aware variant E506 (Indirect function definition from an undefined function) of issue E411 of the same name. (#99) - Plan for issue E515 (Paragraph token in the parameter of a "nopar" function) and remove the item "Verifying the 'nopar' restriction on functions" from Section "Caveats".

Version: 3.0a License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Draw Nassi-Shneiderman charts Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Draw Nassi-Shneiderman charts Even in the age of OOP one must develop algorithms. Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams are a well known tool to describe an algorithm in a graphical way. This package StrukTeX presents some macros for generating those diagrams in a LaTeX document. The package provides the most important elements of a Nassi-Shneiderman diagram, including processing blocks, loops, mapping conventions for alternatives, etc. Diagrams are drawn using the picture environment (using pict2e for preference). The author is Jobst Hoffmann. See also pict2e. If one is working with (X)emacs and AUCTeX the "drawing" process is supported by structex.el, a style file which knows the syntax of most of the commands from the StrukTeX package. Version v3.0a-0-gfdf7422 incorporates a nearly completely rewritten documentation and a new file organization without the need of a struktex.ins fle. Additionally the Makefile is replaced by lbuild.lua and lbuild-config.lua - the latter for configuring the language (de or en). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/struktex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/struktex/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Thomas Weise submitted the texgit package. Version: 0.9.6 2025-06-20 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Download, access, and potentially execute files from git Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The “texgit” package is a tool mainly intended for including source codes and files from external “git” repositories in LaTeX code. Imagine that you are teacher in the field of computer science. Maybe you are teaching a programming class. You want to use LaTeX to make a course book or course slides. Naturally, you will want to include example programs and source codes in your book/slides. Maybe you even want to execute your codes and show their outputs. That is, at present, tedious. You could put them as files into your teaching material and manually execute them. But they will always be isolated examples and more often than not, code examples are just written directly in the LaTeX sources in listings environments. With the “texgit” package, you can separate your example codes from your teaching material. You can put them into a separate “git” repository. In your LaTeX code, you can tell “texgit” to download this repository (it will be cached locally) and then get the local paths to the files in the repository. Moreover, you can also execute the downloaded files and let “texgit” store their output into local files (which, again, will be cached). You can then include these files in your teaching material. The “texgit” package allows you to do the following things: - download files from a “git” repository and access them from LaTeX, - apply some post-processor to the downloaded files (e.g., strip comments and type hints from Python code) and access the post-processed files instead, - execute scripts or programs -- either local or downloaded from “git” repositories -- and fetch their output into local files accessible from LaTeX, - create local paths accessible from LaTeX which can be passed as arguments to the scripts or programs that are executed, e.g., as argument to a Python script that creates and stores a “matplotlib” plot under the path that it received as argument, allowing you to programmatically create figures and include them LaTeX documents. The package works a bit like “BibTeX”: Let’s say your document is named “document.tex”. During the first “pdflatex” run, executed as “pdflatex document”, all the requests mentioned above, say, to download files from “git” repositories, are stored in the “aux” file. The paths corresponding to the requests point to an empty file at this stage. Then you would apply the “texgit” post-processor by calling “python3 -m texgit.run document”. This Python program (see https://pypi.org/project/texgit) executes all the requests and caches their results locally. During the second run of “pdflatex document”, the paths corresponding to the requests then point to the actual downloaded or generated files. All downloaded or generated files will be locally cached in a folder named “__git__” in your document’s directory. You can delete this folder to refresh the files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/texgit The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/texgit/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
