A package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, as usual, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: mf2pt1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/mf2pt1 Summary description: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. Version 2.2 fixes some bugs involving the processing of command-line options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/mf2pt1 .

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. In most cases the result is nice, though sometimes imported picture needs some manual editing. So TpX can be used as a EMF-to-any and SVG-to-any converter.

CTAN has a new package: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 16 May '06

16 May '06

The package described below has just been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Scott, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: hyperxmp Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata is designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: author, title, subject, keywords, copyright, and license URL. hyperxmp currently embeds XMP only within PDF documents but is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvipdfm, and latex+dvips+ps2pdf. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp .

by CTAN Announcements 10 May '06

10 May '06

A package update has been installed at tug.ctan.org and it should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: listings Author's name: Brooks Moses Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/listings Summary description: Typeset source code listings using LaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX. The source code is read directly by TeX. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no special style for strings). Includes support for hyperref. To use, simply usepackage{listings}, identify the language with lstset{language=Python}, then employ the egin{lstlisting} ... end{lstlisting} environment or the lstinputlisting{filename.py} command. NOTE: The original author of this package, Carsten Heinz, became inactive sometime in late 2004. Hendri Adriaens took over maintenance of the package in accordance with the LPPL's procedure for abandoned packages. He then passed the maintainership of the package to Brooks Moses, who had volunteered for the position while this procedure was going through. This release, version 1.3c, is not yet the long awaited bugfix release, as the new maintainer (Brooks Moses) has neither a list of reported bugs nor a good test suite to use to check to make sure that the fixes don't break other things. Thus, he asks that users email him reports of any outstanding bugs that they are aware of, as well as examples of interesting uses of listings that should go into the test suite. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/ .
