The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: boxhandler Author's name: Steven B. Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler Summary description: Tools for Optimizing Captions, Presentation, and Placement of Tables and Figures License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package facilitates the optimized presentation of LaTeX tables and figures. Not only can boxhandler conveniently lay out table and figure captions with a wide variety of stylistic appearances, but allows for figures and tables to be ``wrapped'' in a manner consistent with many business and government documents. For a document that might appear in different venues with different formatting, boxhandler very powerfully permits the creation of a LaTeX source document that can, with a single-line change in the source code, produce an output that has vastly different layout from the baseline configuration, not only in terms of caption style, but more importantly in terms of the locations where figures, tables and lists appear (or not) in the document. Deferral routines also allow one to keep all figure and table data in a separate source file, while nonetheless producing a document with figures and tables appearing in the desired location in the document. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler .
