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.

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
