Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michaels College .........................................................................

It solves the problem of centering multicolumn headings when they are wider than the text underneath them. (In a tabular environment they are aligned to the left, even if they contain a c in their preamble.) It is actually a workaround for a (mis)feature of TeX alignment algorithm.

CTAN Update: hyph-utf8
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

On Sat, 30 May 2009 Mojca Miklavec and Arthur Reutenauer submitted an update to the hyph-utf8 package. Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc). The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for TeX are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns. Location on CTAN: /language/hyph-utf8/ Summary description: UTF-8 hyphenation patterns License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fix for Spanish patterns ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/language/hyph-utf8/ .

This help to draw material relative to timing diagrams. Rows inside a `tikztimingtable' are automatically named. * Package now depents on 'amsmath' or 'environ' package.

Future versions might enforce the 'at' or react different if it is not used. * Added user defined meta-characters which can store user defined character groups. * Added special 'B' character to introduce negative width. Main application is for meta-characters and other groups. * Changed `M` character to use path decorations. * Some code improvements to speed up compilation and make the source code cleaner.
