New on CTAN: edfnotes
by CTAN Announcements 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

On Wed, 16 Feb 2011 Uwe Lück submitted the edfnotes package. Summary description: critical annotations to footnotes referring by line numbers License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `edfnotes.sty' extends `ednotes.sty' so that you can refer even to footnotes of the edited work by line numbers, building on the accompanying `fnlineno' package in the `lineno' bundle. `ednotes.sty' has addressed “scholarly” critical editions of (hand-written) manuscripts. `edfnotes' additionally supports critical editions of (printed) works with footnotes. The package was developed for an edition of Bernard Bolzano's `Paradoxien des Unendlichen' by Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Tapp – a work with some very long footnotes. As to implementation, certain core parts of ednotes have been reimplemented entirely, this may later migrate into `ednotes.sty' itself. It had been hoped that `edfnotes' could build on the `bigfoot' package. This might have improved (automatic) page breaking and placement of original footnotes and critical annotations (whereas at present, some page breaks need manual trial-and-error solutions). However, analysis of `lineno' and `ednotes' for extending them, as well as many unexpected difficulties, exhausted project resources too early. David Kastrup's MakeSorted has here been implemented by inserting annotations to footnotes at the last main text line of a page only, hooking into lineno's numbering mechanism – a nice (leight-weight – ?) alternative to David Kastrup's approach. This work of a few weeks was possible due to major support by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, organized by Christian Tapp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/edfnotes .

CTAN Update: ydoc
by CTAN Announcements 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

On Wed, 16 Feb 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the ydoc package. Summary description: Added short version of MacroArgs and Macro, similar to 'shortvrb' License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About ydoc ======= The 'ydoc' class and packages provide a modern way to document packages. They are thought as an alternative to 'ltxdoc' & 'doc'. The 'y' is both a pun on 'xdoc' as well as stands for 'Yet another package documentation package'. This package is currently in the alpha stage, but already used for the manuals of the authors other packages. The implementation is not yet fully complete and might change in future releases. It is published on CTAN mainly to allow others to build the mentioned manuals. Changes: ====== Added possibility to define single-character versions of MacroArgs and Macro, similar to the short verbatim characters provided by 'shortvrb'. (Please note that most updates to this package are not announced on CTAN. ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ydoc .

New on CTAN: fnlineno
by CTAN Announcements 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

On Wed, 16 Feb 2011 Uwe Lück submitted the fnlineno package. Summary description: numbering footnote lines, including linelabel support License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fnlineno.sty extends lineno.sty such that even footnote lines are numbered and can be referred to using linelabel, ef, etc. It has been motivated as support for critical editions of printed works with footnotes, as opposed to scholarly critical editions of manuscripts. For this purpose, an extension edfnotes of the ednotes package for critical editions, building on fnlineno, is provided in a different directory. lineno.sty has also been used for the revision process of submissions. With fnlineno.sty, reference to footnotes in the submitted work may become possible. As to implementation, the method of typesetting footnotes on the main vertical list may later lead to applying the line numbering method to several parallel texts (with footnotes) and to `inner' material such as table cells. This work of some weeks, including approaches that failed, was possible due to major support by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, organized by Christian Tapp. The lineno bundle still needs reworking ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/lineno .

In the font definition files was support for it but not in the style files. It was caused by creating simpler style files than those created by autoinst from fontools (they were created because the original files required the package fontenc with all supported encodings -- which might be a problem). 2) Style files do not change neither familydefault nor fdefault. There are font substitutions in the font definition files now. Both suggested by Ricard Torres. Used his patches (based on Walter Schmidt's macros) for PTSans.sty and T1PTSans-TLF.fd.
