It is designed for a wide range of tasks ranging from the most simple applications to the more complex demands of formal quotations. The facilities include commands, environments, and user-definable `smart quotes' which dynamically adjust to their context. Quotation marks are switched automatically if quotations are nested and they can be adjusted to the current language if the babel package is available. There are additional facilities designed to cope with the more specific demands of academic writing, especially in the humanities and the social sciences. All quote styles as well as the optional active quotes are freely configurable. > Note that there are two subdirectories in the archive, stable and > testing.

CTAN package update and changes to: epsf
by CTAN Announcements 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

The well-known epsf macros have been updated on tug.ctan.org, and these changes should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Please note the change of location. The material has moved from the single file /macros/plain/contrib/misc/epsf.tex to the directory /macros/generic/epsf , where it has been expended to include multiple files. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: epsf Author's name: Nelson Beebe Location on CTAN: /macros/generic/epsf Summary description: update of epsf.tex License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update to epsf.tex fixes a bug when epsfbox is used in the LaTeX {center} environment. General information: The epsf.tex and epsf.sty (identical) files provide for low-level typesetting of Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, with optional suppression of the figure contents (for faster display and printing during document development), optional figure framing, and optional figure labeling. LaTeX users are cautioned that the graphicx package documented in the LaTeX Graphics Companion and LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.) books provides a much more powerful and general facility, and allows easy switching between pdf(la)tex and (la)tex without document modification. Plain TeX and AmSTeX users, however, may find epsf.tex useful. The original location for these macros is http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/epsf/. They are maintained by Nelson Beebe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/epsf .

Name of contribution: europecv Author's name: Nicola Vitacolonna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/europecv Summary description: Unofficial class for European curricula vitae License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW FEATURES: * The default input encoding used by 'europecv' is now UTF-8, but the choice can be overriden by the user (the mechanism for managing input encodings has been changed, biased towards a less efficient, but more flexible solution. Now, any input encoding can be used with any language, e.g. Greek users are not forced to use UTF-8 anymore. Moreover, the europecv directory is not cluttered with many .def files for the same language anymore) * The class now depends on the 'ucs' and 'inputenc' packages, no matter what input encoding the user selects (this is because the .def files are UTF-8 files) * A class option 'booktabs' has been added, to typeset the spoken language table according to the 'booktabs' package rules * Added a command ecvlastlanguage that works with the booktabs option * A command ecvspace has been added, to tune the position of the personal picture MINOR CHANGES * The personal picture now is typeset when ecvpersonalinfo is issued, not at the beginning of the europecv environment * Optimized eps figures. * Lots of cosmetic changes in the code and in the output * Expanded documentation. BUG FIXES * A bug that caused compilation to abort when 'notitle' was used with languages other than English has been solved (thanks to Massimo Coppola) This version is still a BETA. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/europecv .

The package described below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hef{}feron ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCTOOLS bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ncctools Summary description: Release 3.5 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the significant release of the bundle. The bug in the nccthm package that occasionally appears in the previous release was fixed. The addtopackage package introduced in the previous release and its AddToPackage command are renamed to afterpackage and AfterPackage respectively. New names more exactly reflect the meaning of the package. I did it because the package is a new enough and I think it is used rarely yet. In nccfloats package, the syntax of FloatStyle is expanded with optional float-type parameter. Float styles are applied now to the base floating environment also. The generic ewminifloat command is introduced. In nccsect package, SetTOCStyle and ChapterPrefixStyle commands are introduced. They are moved from ncclatex bundle. Section style creation commands ewhangsectionstyle and ewplainsectionstyle are introduced. They essentially improve the possibility of making new section styles such as sections with marginal section numbers, flushed right section headers and many others. The 'centerlast' section style is introduced. The customization of section and caption tag suffices is now allowed with sectiontagsuffix and captiontagsuffix commands. Margins of display sections can be adjusted using the adjustsectionmargins command. Compatibility with xtab package is added. Caption width can now exceed a line width. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools .
