On Mon, 19 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the monofill package. Summary description: Alignment with plain text or monospaced characters License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `monofill.sty' addresses horizontal alignment with plain text as in the result of LaTeX's listfiles, extending the longnamefilelist package for ideas by Martin Muench.

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

On Tue, 13 Mar 2012 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v2.3: - reimplemented pdfmarkupcomment by using soulpos.sty much better support of non standard text cases, like: wocolumn: feature request by: René Schwarz, Thomas Feller, Til Birnstiel setspace.sty: feature request by: Andrew Dawson enumerate, itemize, ... - added support for twocolumn mode in pdfsidelinecomment - added option local to pdfcommentsetup feature request by: Florent Chervet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

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 .
