On Tue, 23 Mar 2010 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the nicetext package. Summary description: `makedoc' + `niceverb' - an alternative documentation system for LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The `nicetext' bundle offers minimal markup syntax for restricted kinds of text: There should not be much more characters typed than printed! -- mainly: quick documentation of (smaller) LaTeX packages -- achieved by active characters and preprocessing similar to `docstrip' (opposite direction however, incl. some txt to TeX). New with release 0.3: * `substr.tex' should typeset LaTeX quality documentation from next available (on your install) substry.sty's ASCII/UTF-8 input (works with me) -- first application of `niceverb''s auto mode and `makedoc.sty' to a third-party package! * `makedoc' simplified: single MakeInputJobDoc[<in>][<out>]{<header>}{<parser>} generates a documentation file from the package file and typesets it immediately (kind of DocInput equivalent) -- see `Using makedoc the simplest way' in `makedoc.pdf' * `|...|' from `niceverb' typesets an inline frame box for setting-off a command description, modifiable by hooks (e.g., colorbox) * `niceverb' syntax works in page headers, PDF bookmarks, and `hyperref' labels and otherwise much better than before, dis-/re-enableable featurewise as well as altogether * documentation extended, lists of script commands * configurable txt to TeX functionality or other replacements like ASCII-arrows to arrow commands or inserting index entries (setting up expandable replacement chains slightly more comfortable) -- try with templates and dialogue * `fifinddo' works with character codes > 127, improved setup * `makedoc' requires the `moreverb' package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

On Tue, 16 Mar 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 v1.5d: - Bugfix: faulty expansion broke hyperref's auto corrected conversions of LaTeX commands like $ or extCR to PDFDocEncoding or PDFUnicode in comments reported by: Guillaume Millet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

On Thu, 11 Mar 2010, Dominik Waßenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.3 (for biblatex 0.9) This version of biblatex-dw supports biblatex 0.9. Please note that you have to update biblatex as well if you would like to use biblatex-dw 1.3! Users might need to update their data due to some changes in biblatex, especially concerned with date specifications. Please follow the hints for users given in biblatex's RELEASE notes. Further changes in this release: - The option 'isrn' and 'issn' were dropped. Their functionality can be achieved by the biblatex option 'isbn'. - BUGFIX: When using 'idembibformat=dash', the @inreference entries had a wrong punctuation inside the title. This is now fixed. - Option 'pseudoauthor' changed: if set to true (and the entry option 'pseudoauthor' is used), the author of this entry is printed. The new commands ibleftpseudo and ibrightpseudo are used to enclose the author. These commands are empty by default. If the global option 'pseudoauthor' is set to 'false', the author of entries with the entry option 'pseudoauthor' are not printed at all. The default value for the global option is 'true' (i.e. the behaviour is the same regardless of the entry option 'pseudoauthor'). - New command locationdatepunct for the punctuation between location and year/date. The default is addspace. - New command locationpublisherpunct for the punctuation between location and publisher. The default is addcolonspace. - New command publisherdatepunct for the punctuation between publisher and year/date. The default is addcommaspace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '10

09 Mar '10

On Tue, 9 Mar 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 v1.5c: - Bugfix: pdfsidelinecomment only worked on pages with arabic page numbers reported by: Fritz Moore ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .
