CTAN Update: morehype
by CTAN Announcements 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

On Thu, 1 Sep 2011 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the morehype package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new raw macro file `twocolpg.sty' provides macros for the web page style with a navigation column at the left of a main content column with spanning header and footer - towards a content management system for TeX addicts? Templates (`demo') are provided, see Section `Examples' in `blog.pdf'. `blog.sty' v0.5 has many more macros than v0.41, mainly for symbols. Accented letters are near to complete, Greek letters are complete. Documentation has been improved at some places. I realized that ` ' allows line breaks and therefore redefined hinspace and ,, but this may be difficult with certain browsers. `texlinks.sty' v0.4 adds HTTPS, references to CTAN announcements, and references to the LaTeX Wikibook. Wikipedia macros and parts of documentation have been reworked. For details, always see the end of the .sty files. Throughout, the acro macro (known from TUGboat macros) has been applied to the documentations. Moreover, the sample file `atari.fdf' for a little encoding conversion has moved to the nicetext bundle, and the macro it defines now is TextCodes instead of AtariCodes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/morehype .

On Sun, 28 Aug 2011 Boris Veytsman submitted the rviewport package. Summary description: Relative Viewport for Graphics Inclusion License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Package graphicx provides a useful keyword viewport which allows to show just a part of an image. However, one needs to put there the actual coordinates of the viewport window. Sometimes it is useful to have relative coordinates as fractions of natural size. For example, one may want to print a large image on a spread, putting a half on a verso page, and another half on the next recto page. For this one would need a viewport occupying exactly one half of the file's bounding box, whatever the actual width of the image may be. This package adds a new keyword rviewport to the graphicx package specifiying Relative Viewport for graphics inclusion: a window defined by the given fractions of the natural width and height of the image. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rviewport .
