by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

On Mon, 19 Feb 2007, Eric Beitz submitted an update to the texshade package. TeXshade is an alignment shading software completely written in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in the .MSF and the .ALN file format. It provides in addition to common shading algorithms special shading modes featuring functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a plenitude of commands for handling shading colours, text styles, labels, legends and even allows the user to define completely new shading modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility and the habitual TeX output quality-with reasonable time expenditure. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ Summary description: Update of the DNA and protein sequence alignment LaTeX package TeXshade License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a new release (v1.16) of TeXshade.

Further, BioTeX, i.e. TeXshade and TeXtopo, have a new home, see README or documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ .

CTAN Update: mathspic 1.10
by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

On Mon, 19 Feb 2007 Apostolos Syropoulos submitted an update to the mathspic package. MathsPIC(Perl) is a development of the earlier MathsPIC(DOS) program, now implemented as a Perl script, being much more portable than the earlier program. MathsPIC parses a plain text input file and generates a plain text output-file containing commands for drawing a diagram. Version 1.0 produces output containing PiCTeX and (La)TeX commands, which may then be processed by plain TeX or LaTeX in the usual way. MathsPIC also outputs a comprehensive log-file. MathsPIC facilitates creating figures using PiCTeX by providing an environment for manipulating named points and also allows the use of variables and maths (advance, multiply, and divide)-in short-it takes the pain out of PiCTeX. Both the original DOS version and the new Perl version are available.

CTAN has a new package: xgreek
by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Apostolos Syropoulos submitted the XeLaTeX package xgreek to CTAN. This package has been designed so to allow people to typeset Greek language documents using XeLaTeX. And it is released in the hope that people will use it and spot errors, bugs, features so to improve it. Practically, it provides all the capabilities of the greek option of the babel package. The package can be invoked with any of the following options: monotonic (for typesetting modern monotonic Greek), polytonic (for typesetting modern polytonic Greek), and ancient (for typesetting ancient texts). The default option is monotonic. The command setlanguage{lang} to activate the hyphenation patterns of the lang. This, however, can be done only if the format file has not been built with the babel mechanism. The package is beta software and it is hoped that users will provide input so to improve it.

CTAN Update: dvdcoll
by CTAN Announcements 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the dvdcoll package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements. dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL new in v0.7: - new feature: listofdvds dvdcoll.cls now offers the possibility to produce a list of dvds. Therefore dvdcoll.cls will - on-the-fly - generate a database in BibTeX format. A BibTeX run with a specially adapted BibTeX style (dcbib.bst) will produce a sorted-by-key(=label) list, which will be included in another run of (pdf)latex. - several new command options (DvdSeries: labelbase,labelbaseprefix, labelbasesuffix, labelbaselength) were implemented for automatic generation of labels, e.g. RW0001, RW0002, ... - some minor improvements ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk hyphenation patterns Author's name: Karl Ove Hufthammer Location on CTAN: /language/hyphenation/nohyph Summary description: Hyphenation patterns for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk License type: dfsg Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The current recommended hyphenation patterns for Norwegian, nohyphbx, was developed to support both Norwegian languages, Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk, and it works very well. Unfortunately, a few words needs to be hyphenated differently for the two languages. One example is ‘attende’, which should be hyphenated ‘at-ten-de’ in Norwegian Bokmål and ‘att-en-de’ in Norwegian Nynorsk. This package adds two new hyphenation pattern files, ‘nbhyph.tex’ and ‘nnhyph.tex’, for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk, respectively. The files include the Norwegian ‘nohyphx.tex’ patterns (using input), and just adds a hyphenation exception block for the words that needs to be hyphenated differently for the two languages. These patterns, ‘nbhyph.tex’ and ‘nnhyph.tex’ should become the recommended hyphenation patterns for Norwegian in the future. I hope to have proper support for them included in Babel at a later date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/nohyph .

CTAN Update: natbib 8.0
by CTAN Announcements 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

On Mon, 5 Feb 2007, Patrick Daly submitted a new version of the natbib package. The natbib package provides a style with author-year and numbered references, as well as much detailed of support for other bibliography use. Provides versions of the standard BibTeX styles that are compatible with natbib - plainnat, unsrtnat, abbrnat. The bibliography styles produced by custom-bib are designed from the start to be compatible with natbib. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/natbib Summary description: Update to natbib package, based on user suggestions, wishes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- List of changes (from the README.v80 file) v8.0 Add setcitestyle to simplify changing citation punctuation; is to replace ibpunct, which is retained for compatibility. Citation style commands (setcitestyle, citestyle, ibpunct) are no longer limited to the preamble; in particular they may be issued in different chapters with the chapterbib package; even the author--year or numerical mode can be switched and the bibliography is adjusted accordingly. (This has long been requested by several users.) The docstrip option 'nopreonly' is therefore removed, since it is now always active. Support for LaTeX 2.09 is removed; I no longer can test it and it only complicates the source file. Package option 'colon' always meant putting a semi-colon between multiple citations. This seems odd to me, but I probably thought 'semicolon' was too long. I now have 'semicolon' to be explicit, but 'colon' is still retained (as semi-colon). v7.5 (Never released, it is the preliminary 8.0) Superscript citations: if braces specified, they are also superscripted in both in-text and parenthetical citations. Any optional notes are printed before and after as regular text. Add citenum{key} to print the number, even in author-year mode. And without superscripting and without parentheses. This is so superscripted citations can be referred to in-text as regular numbers. In-text numerical citations with notes: the notes are now outside the parentheses as this appears more logical. For parenthetical citations, notes are still inside. The indexing of citations now has the default format Author [num] in numerical mode. Previously it was Author [date] in both. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib .

It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. [1] Named after Coline Cocotte Verna-Loupiac, born 2004/01/29.
