The package here has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Version 2.3 of the exam document class Author's name: Philip Hirschhorn Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/exam Summary description: A document class for preparing exams License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Major changes since version 2.2: 1. In addition to grading tables for the entire exam (indexed either by question number or by page number), it's now possible to create grading tables that cover only part of the exam. 2. In addition to grading tables, it's now possible to create point tables (either for the entire exam or for only part of the exam). These tables list the questions (or pages) and the number of points possible, but don't have space to fill in the number of points actually earned. 3. There are now ``bonus points'', which can be assigned to a question (or part, or subpart, or subsubpart) instead of regular points. Bonus points are not counted by the regular grading tables or point tables, but there are commands to create both grading tables and point tables that count only bonus points, either for the entire exam for for only part of the exam. 4. In a grading table (or point table) indexed by question number, it's possible to replace the number of a question by a title of that question (e.g., "Concepts", or "Design"). Of course, the title of a question can also include the question number. 5. If you create a pdf file from your LaTeX file, then the question numbers (or question titles; see item 4 above) in a grading table indexed by question number will be clickable links that take you to the corresponding question. Similarly, the page numbers in a grading table indexed by page number will be clickable links that take you to the corresponding page. 6. The command answerline, which creates an answer line for short answer questions, can now take an optional argument, which should be the correct answer. The correct answer will be printed on the answer line when solutions are being printed. 7. When creating a choices environment (to list the possible answers to a multiple choice question), you can mark one or more of the choices as "correct choices", and these choices will be printed with emphasis when solutions are being printed. By default, the emphasis is boldface, but this can be changed. 8. Hooks are provided for advanced users to modify the list parameters (e.g., opsep, itemsep, etc.) used in the lists created by the questions, parts, subparts, subsubparts, and choices environments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/exam .

Re: Upgrade the minitoc package to version 60 - documentation fix
by CTAN Announcements 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

On Thu, 17 Jul 2008, Jean-Pierre Drucbert submitted an update to the minitoc package. The minitoc package allows you to add mini-tables-of-contents (minitocs) at the beginning of every chapter, part or section. There is also provision for mini-lists of figures and of tables. At the part level, they are parttocs, partlofs and partlots. If the type of document does not use chapters, the basic provision is section level secttocs, sectlofs and sectlots. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/minitoc License: LPPL This new version has the following changes or improvements: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Minitoc version #60 --* Fixing a lot of corrupted graphic (PDF) files by replacing them with the original PNG files. --** Making internal hyperlinks work again with Acrobat Reader. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: * These files were corrupted during the conversion PNG->PDF using ImageMagick. ** But xpdf did not show these problems. Many thanks to Heiko Oberdiek and Staszek Wawrykiewicz who signaled the problems and helped to fix them. The administravive trivia are in the `CATALOG' file in the distribution. Note that the documentation is mainly available in PDF form: -- in (not perfect) english: minitoc.pdf, -- in french: minitoc-fr.pdf. The ``cmk'' script may be used to convert the PDF documentation into PostScript. The INSTALL file (and, better, the ``Installation'' chapter in the documentation) describes the files of this package (the complete list of files is in minitoc.l). A minitoc.tds.zip file is also available in the distribution. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
