CTAN update: historische-zeitschrift
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... Update summary: version 0.9a - Compatibility to biblatex 0.9e. - New option 'postnote'. This option can take the values 'inparen' and 'afterparen', where 'inparen' puts the postnote in subsequent citations inside the parenthesis holding the 'see note N' phrase. The default is 'afterparen' (thus, the default behaviour has changed, because the HZ style requires it. The style description was wrong at this point, and I did not check properly in the printed journal. Therefore, the biblatex style 'historische-zeitschrift' was wrong in this particular point. For compatibility reasons, and because it might be useful, I turned the wrong behaviour into the option 'postnote=inparen'). - @reference and @inreference are now supported (as an alias for @collection and @incollection, respectively, as they do not require special treatment). Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/historische-zeitschrift Caption: Biblatex style for the journal 'Historische Zeitschrift' Description: The package provides citations according with the house style of the ‘Historische Zeitschrift’, a German historical journal. The scheme is a fullcite for the first citation and ‘Author, Shorttitle (as note N, P)’ for later citations (P being the page number). For further details, see the description of the house style at the journal's site. The package depends on biblatex (version 0.9e or higher). Author: Dominik Waßenhoven License: lppl Name: historische-zeitschrift Version: 0.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/historische-zeitschrift (this link may take a day to sync).

CTAn Update: bidi
by CTAN Announcements 10 Oct '10

10 Oct '10

On Tue, 28 Sep 2010 Vafa Khalighi submitted an update to the bidi package. Summary description: Support for bidirectional typesetting in plain TeX and LaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- fixed reported bugs 2- included dtx source and TDS 3- There is a slight change of license: Copyright © 2007–2010 It may be distributed and/or modified under the LaTeX Project Public License, version 1.3c or higher (your choice). The latest version of this license is at: http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt This work is “author-maintained” (as per LPPL maintenance status) by Vafa Khalighi. In addition to the terms of LPPL any distributed version (unchanged or modified) of bidi has to keep the statement about the moral obligation for using bidi. In case of major changes where this would not be appropriate the author of the changed version should contact the copyright holder. Moral obligation for using bidi: ____________________________________ Users of bidi who wish to include or use bidi or a modified version in a proprietary and commercially market product are asked under certain conditions (see below) for the payment of a license fee. The size of this fee is to be determined, in each instance, by the commercial user, depending on his/her judgment of the value of bidi for his/her product. The conditions for this are as follows: The producer of a proprietary and commercially market product that involves typesetting using bidi is asked to determine the value of a license fee for using bidi if - the product is a document and the producer has decided to include bidi to typeset (parts of) the document or has directed the author of the document to include bidi (for example, by providing a class file to be used by the author) - the product is a LaTeX class or package that includes bidi There is no moral obligation in case - the product is a document but producer has not directed the author to include bidi (in that case the moral obligation lies with the author of the document) - the product does not involve typesetting, e.g., consists, for example, of distributing bidi and its documentation. - the product is not proprietary, i.e., is made available as free software itself (which doesn't prohibit its commercial marketing) - bidi is used for non-commercial purposes Determinating a license fee might result in a license fee of zero (i.e., no payment) in case a producer has determined that the use of bidi has no enhancing effect on the product. This is a plausible scenario, i.e., in the above two cases the producer is only asked to evaluate the value of bidi for the product not for the payment of a license fee per se (which might or might not follow from this evaluation). The license fee, if any, can be payed to the author of the program who can be contacted at vafakhlgh(a)gmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/bidi .

Announcement: is requested Update summary: This small package replaces extsuperscript and extsubscript commands by equivalent commands that use OpenType font features to access appropriate glyphs if possible. Version 0.3 contains the following changes: * New commands extsubsuperscript and extsupersubscript added. * Fix an infinite loop bug added in the last version, triggered when loading the `xltxtra` package with the `[no-sscript]` option. extsubsuperscript (and friend) could actually be implemented as a separate package for pdfLaTeX as well. I'll consider releasing such a thing if there's feedback to do so :) Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/realscripts Caption: Access OpenType subscript and superscript glyphs. Description: This small package replaces extsuperscript and extsubscript commands by equivalent commands that use OpenType font features to access appropriate glyphs if possible. Also provides ` extsubsuperscript` (and ` extsupersubscript`) for setting subscripts and superscripts on top of each other. The package also patches LaTeX’s default footnote command to use this new extsuperscript for footnote symbols. The package requires fontspec running on either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. The package holds functions that were once parts of the xltxtra package, which now loads realscripts by default.

30 Sep '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... Update summary: v2.0w: - Make S columns work with REVTeX Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/siunitx Caption: A comprehensive (SI) units package. Description: Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be used. However, different countries and publishers have differing conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units). A number of LaTeX packages have been developed to provide consistent application of the various rules: SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units are the leading examples. The numprint package provides a large number of number-related functions, while dcolumn and rccol provide tools for typesetting tabular numbers. The siunitx package takes the best from the existing packages, and adds new features and a consistent interface. A number of new ideas have been incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing provision. The package also provides backward-compatibility with SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one package to handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX users. The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the expl3 and xpackages bundles.
