CTAN has a new package: cprotect
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

This should be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .................................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cprotect.zip Version number: 1.0 Author's name: Bruno Le Floch Summary description: verbatim in macro arguments (footnote, section,...) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduces the macro cprotect, which allows the control sequence that follows to take verbatim text among its argument. For instance, footnote, section, chapter, itle... can be made to contain verb, and egin{verbatim}...end{verbatim}, as well as any catcode change. Moving arguments, ableofcontents, etc. also work well! A typical use: cprotectsection{The verb+|+ symbol.} works as wanted. Similar command for protecting environments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note from author: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am also thinking of writing a package that parses a TeX file for regexp, if people think it might be useful (probably a hard exercise in catcode changes). Let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cprotect .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

On Sun, 12 Dec 2010 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 v2.1: - added support for PDF reply system pdfcomment[avatar=Joe,id=1]{comment} pdfreply[avatar=Bob,id=2,replyto=1]{reply to comment} works for pdflatex only! - added options id,date,timezone - added support for new icon CrossHairs (Adobe Reader X) - Bugfix: problem with pdfmarkupcomment with page break ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
