by CTAN Announcements 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

On Mon, 3 Sep 2007, Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update to the mkjobtexmf package. The progam mkjobtexmf runs a program and tries to find the used file names. Two methods are available, option -recorder of TeX (Web2C) or the program strace. Then it generates a directory with a texmf tree. It checks the found files and tries sort them in this texmf tree. It can be used for archiving purposes or to speed up following TeX runs. Location on CTAN: support/mkjobtexmf License: artistic Changes of version 0.3: * New option --copy for copying files instead of symbolic linking. * New option --flat that put all links/files in the destination directory without directory structure. * New option --destdir for specifying the the destination directory.

CTAN Update: references v4.3d
by CTAN Announcements 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

On Thu, 30 Aug 2007 at 16:55 +0200, Volker Kiefel submitted version 4.3d of the references package. Location on CTAN: support/references License: gpl Summary: REFERENCES is bibliographic software for authors of scientific manuscripts and for management of bibliographic data of ARTICLES IN JOURNALS, of BOOKS, of CHAPTERS IN BOOKS and other document types including notes and electronic documents. REFERENCES supports LaTeX including BibTeX. Bibliographic records in MEDLINE format are easily imported. Retrieval of references is possible by keywords, authors' or editors' names, date of publication, title of article, book title, journal name and other data fields. Lists of references and formatted citations in the text can be compiled in any bibliographic style required by the publishers of scientific journals. REFERENCES is provided with a text based console interface compiled for win32-systems and as Linux port. An external text editor is required for editing data. Changes in v4.3d: For books, the ISBN field has been enlarged to 20 characters due to the change of the international standard book number format in 2007. Linux version only: menu options in square brackets may now be highlighted (controlled by the ENABLE_HL variable in the configuration file). A new awk script ``emptylines.awk'' added: removes empty lines from a text file. Bugfix: incorrect assessment of string length (Linux systems with utf-8 encoding) fixed. All changes and recommendations for use of the new version may be found in the history.txt document. The manual (refsdok.pdf) has been updated. _______________________________________________ This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/references/ .

The output is a file (with extension .TpX) containing the drawing as LaTeX code or as an includegraphics link to an external file created by the program. User can choose between several output formats. TpX saves its own data in TeX file comments so that the drawing could be loaded into TpX and edited again. This internal TpX format is based on XML and could be understood and edited easily. TpX can import EMF/WMF pictures created by other Windows applications, including many applications producing scientific graphs. It also can import simple SVG pictures.

Location on CTAN: /support/jed/jlm Summary description: A LaTeX mode for the JED editor License type: GPL Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JLM is an advanced LaTeX mode for Jed <http://www.jedsoft.org> Its aim is to help the user by taking over annoying and stupid things they need to be done, like add a usepackage when you add a command or environment from this package or put dollar signs around mathematical commands and move the cursor to an appropriate point. JLM does not think for you. If you want a tabular, but insert an itemize, JLM doesn't prevent this.

CTAN package update: doi
by CTAN Announcements 24 Jul '07

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: doi Author's name: Maarten Sneep Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/doi Summary description: Create correct hyperlinks for DOI numbers. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can hyperlink DOI numbers to dx.doi.org. However, some publishers have elected to use nasty characters in their DOI numbering scheme (‘<’, ‘>’, ‘_’ and ‘;’ have all been spotted). This will either upset (La)TeX, or your PDF reader. This package contains a single user-level command doi{}, which takes a DOI number, and creates a correct hyperlink from it. This is an update to the doi package. The underscore was missing from the list of characters that could mess things up. Michael Orlov sent in a patch to fix this (thanks!). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/doi .
