CTAN update: program version 3.3.11
by CTAN Announcements 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: program.sty version 3.3.11 Author's name: Martin Ward Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/program Summary description: A style file for typesetting programs in maths mode with indentation License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a copy of my LaTeX2e style file for typesetting programs and algorithms in my favourite style without having to type in endless tabbing commands. Each line is set in math mode so all the indentation and spacing is done automatically. The notation |variable_name| can be used within normal text, maths expressions or programs to indicate a variable name. Use origbar to get a normal | symbol in a program. The commands A, B, R, T and typeset the corresponding bold letter with the next object as a substript (eg S1 typesets {f S$_1$} etc). They now cope with primes as well, (eg $S2'''$). The program.sty file can be easily edited to reflect your favoured style. Typesetting a program is as easy as: (IF x e 0 THEN |long_name|_{123} = x^y FI) See the program-demo.tex file for examples. The file should work with or without AMSLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/program .

Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ionumbers Author's name: Christian Schneider Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers Summary description: restyle numbers in math mode License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `ionumbers' stands for `input/output numbers'. This package restyles numbers in math mode. If a number in the input file is written, e.g., as |$3,231.44$| as commonly used in English texts, this package is able to restyle it to be output as `$3,231{,}44$' as commonly used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be very useful, if you have a large table and want to include it in texts with different output conventions without the need of changing the table. Furthermore this package can automatically group digits left to the decimal separator (thousands) and right to the decimal separator (thousandths) in triplets without the need of specifing commas (English) or points (German) as separators. E.g., the input |$1234.567890$| can be output as `$1,234.,567,890$'. Finally, an |e| starts the exponent of the number. For example, |$21e6$| may be output as `$26 imes10,^{6}$'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cfr-lm Author's name: Clea F. Rees Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm Summary description: Enhanced support for GUST's Latin Modern fonts. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is experimental. The package supports a number of features of the Latin Modern fonts which are not easily accessible via the default (La)TeX support provided in the official distribution. In particular, the package supports the use of the various styles of digits available, small-caps and upright italic shapes, and alternative weights and widths. It also supports variable width typewriter and the quotation font. By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits and variable width typewriter but this can be changed by passing appropriate options to the package. The package also supports using e.g. different styles of digits within a document so it is possible to use proportional oldstyle digits by default, say, but tabular lining digits within a particular table. See the README for details. The package requires the official Latin Modern distribution, including ts (La)TeX support. The package relies on the availability of both the fonts themselves and the official font support files. Only the T1 and TS1 encodings are supported for text fonts. The set up of fonts for mathematics is identical to that provided by Latin Modern. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm .
