The first one is maybe the most useful: it performs substitutions in token lists (even inside braces). The second displays each token of the list (one per line) with its catcode (in the list, not just the current one), and can be useful for debugging or for TeX learners. The ted package is designed to work well even if strange tokens (that is, unusual (charcode, catcode) pairs or tokens with a confusing meaning) occur in the list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ted .

CTAN package update: Eplain 3.2 release

28 Nov '07

Oleg Katsitadze has provided a package which has been mirrored, automatically, to CTAN. He writes: I'm happy to announce a new release of Eplain (3.2), a set of TeX macros that expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a style-neutral fashion. Eplain's home page is http://tug.org/eplain Location on CTAN is /macros/eplain The manual is available on-line from Eplain's home, or as a hard-copy from http://www.lulu.com/content/113810 (Royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group.) Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file. * Fixed a bug which caused silent indexing macros to output spurious space in vertical mode. * Added a switch to disable index file input/output. * Fixed xref and bibliography label definition macros so that reading in a .aux file with a large number of label definitions does not overflow the save stack. * Fixed double-column macros -- they were occasionally losing material and producing columns too high to fit on a page. Also improved appearance of the last column, which often came out spaced out. ============== I've updated the catalogue, and the new version should be widely available by now. Users may view the catalogue entry at http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/eplain.html or browse the distribution at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain/ Thanks for the continuing support of the package, Oleg.

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ijmart Author's name: Boris Veytsman Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ijmart Summary description: LaTeX class for the Israel Journal of Mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Israel Journal of Mathematics is published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press. This class provides LaTeX support for its authors and editors. It strives to achieve the distinct ``look and feel'' of the journal, while having the interface similar to the one of the amsart document class. This will help the authors already familiar with amsart to easily submit manuscripts for The Israel Journal of Mathematics or to put the preprints in http://www.arxiv.org with minimal changes in the LaTeX source. Changes: Version 1.1: Added environments namedprop and namedprop* for special named propositions. Version 1.1a: Minor documentation updates. Version 1.2: New table of contents formatting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ijmart . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/ijmart (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

The package below has been updated on 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: auto-pst-pdf Author's name: Will Robertson Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/auto-pst-pdf Summary description: Automatic pst-pdf processing License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package uses -shell-escape to execute pst-pdf. This makes it especially easy to integrate into the workflow of an editor with just LaTeX and pdfLaTeX buttons. Wrappers are provided for various psfrag-related features so that Matlab figures via laprint, Mathematica figures via MathPSfrag, and regular psfrag figures can all be input consistently and easily. v0.4 adds options to change the commandline flags passed to the auxiliary programs, improves robustness and flexibility, and simplifies the output from using the package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/auto-pst-pdf . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/auto-pst-pdf (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
