[emanuelevicentini@yahoo.it: GuIT logo package]
by Reinhard Zierke 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Emanuele Vicentini ----- I've uploaded in incoming/ a little compressed tarball (guit.tar.gz) containing source and documentation of guit.sty, a package to typeset GuIT's logo. The package is released under the LPPL. I'd suggest to store tarball's contents in macros/latex/contrib/ Here's an extract from the README file: The guit.sty package provides some commands useful to correctly write the logo of Gruppo Utilizzatori Italiani di TeX (Italian TeX User Group), using the default document color or any other color the user may ever choose, in conformity with logo's scheme as seen on the Group site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Likewise, commands are available that simplify the writing of GuIT acronym's complete expansion and of the correct address of Group's internet site. Optionally, using hyperref, the outputs of the above cited commands can become hyperlinks to Group's site (http://www.guit.sssup.it). Documentation available in Italian only. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN submission -- MimeTeX 1.20 (update)
by Reinhard Zierke 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from John Forkosh ----- As per your README.uploads instructions... + what you've uploaded mimetex.zip (version 1.20, to replace support/mimetex/mimetex.zip) + which CTAN node you've uploaded to ftp.dante.de + where you want the files to go support/mimetex Please REPLACE all existing files (mimetex.zip and README) in support/mimetex (and please unzip mimetex.zip README and then place this separate copy of README alongside mimetex.zip in the support/mimetex directory) + what licensing conditions you apply to your software GNU GPL + brief summary of what your upload is intended to do. (a) added picture-like environment, along with picture element commands for circles/ellipses and lines (but not bezier curves yet), see http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#example12 (b) Also: various other changes and fixes, e.g., several delimiters can now be arbitrarily sized ---------------------------------------------------- From the original submission... MimeTeX parses LaTeX math expressions, and emits either mime xbitmaps or gif images of them, rather than the usual TeX dvi's. MimeTeX images are therefore easily imported directly into html documents with the <tag>, e.g., <img src=../cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?f(x)=int_{-infty}^x~e^{-t^2}dt border=0 align=absmiddle> without intermediate dvi-to-gif conversion, and without storing lots of little gif files, one file for each converted expression. This makes your web site and html documents more easily maintained. See http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html#examples for examples demonstrating mimeTeX's features and usage. MimeTeX is primarily intended to help you maintain native html documents containing math. In this sense it's a kind of lightweight alternative to MathML, with the advantage that mimeTeX preserves LaTeX syntax. Similar non-MathML packages, like textogif and gladTeX, require setup procedures that use TeX to help generate external gif images of your equations, which are later included in your html document as it's being rendered. MimeTeX is, as far as I know, the only such non-MathML package that has its own built-in parser and rendering engine, entirely independent of TeX, and therefore requires no setup procedure or external images whatsoever. It renders realtime, on-the-fly images directly from LaTeX math expressions embedded in html documents. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN submission -- Books for the Teubner Verlag: bgteubner.cls
by Reinhard Zierke 16 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file bgteubner-1_07.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please unpack it to CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bgteubner. License is LPPL. It contains a document class for producing books for the publisher Teubner Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany. Form the README: I have programmed the bgteubner.cls document class by order of the Teubner Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany. This has been done to ensure that books of this publisher have a unique layout. The publisher has allowed me to distribute the document class with auxilliary files and documentation freely. Unfortunately, most of the documentation is only available in German. Since the document class is intended to generate a unique layout, many things (layout etc.) are fixed and cannot be altered by the used. If you want to use the document class for another purpose than publishing with the Teubner Verlag, this may arrise unwanted restrictions (For instance, the document class provides only two paper sizes: DIN A-5 and 17cm x 24cm; only two font families are supported: Times and European Computer Modern). The document class needs some additional packages, partly relatively new ones, partly packages that are not installed on most TeX installations.

CTAN submission -- isodate package

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded isodate-2_11.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please replace the files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/isodate by its contents. License stays LPPL. This version adds support for printing months with Roman numerals, e.g., 14.,X.~2003. >From the README: Tune the output format of dates. This package provides ten output formats of the commands oday, printdate, printdateTeX, and daterange (partly language dependent): ISO (yyyy-mm-dd), numeric (e.g. dd.,mm.~yyyy), short (e.g. dd.,mm.,yy), TeX (yyyy/mm/dd), original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy), short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy), as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month. The commands printdate and printdateTeX print any date. The date is given as an argument using the actual date format for output: printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or printdate{dd/mm/yyyy}, and printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}. The command daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary year or month entries. E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'. This package supports German (old and new rules, Austrian), US English, French, Danish, Swedish (by Christian Schlauer), and Norwegian (by Svend Tollak Munkejord). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

by Reinhard Zierke 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file numprint-1_10.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains a new version of the numprint package. Please replace all files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/numprint by its contents. And ignore the file numprint-1_00.tar.gz that I have uploaded a few days ago. License stays LPPL. >From the README: Print numbers with a separator every three digits and convert numbers given as 12345.6e789 to 12,345,6cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach 12,345.6 imes 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to a given number of digits. If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the number format. Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and after the formatted number. If you prefer to use the old version 0.32 you may use numprint032.sty which will stay fixed. The main new features are automatic language support and a really usable tabular alignment. Change log: - 1.10 2003/10/12 New tabular aligment mechanism (now comparable to dcolumn and rccol) with full support of all numprint formats. Math version npbold which aligns with normal math alphabet. Don't use substr package. Provide pmakebox command that works as makebox but takes a text instead of a length for calculating its width. - 1.00 2003/10/07 Automatically add a plus to numbers without sign. Define shortcut p for umprint on demand. Automatic support for different number formats in different languages (already supported are English and German). Better argument parsing. Automatically don't separate degree sign from number. Customize input characters (decimal sign, exponent character). Define a list of ignored characters. User defined signs exceeding +,-, and pm. Load configuration file if present. Improved calculation of box width for mantissa and exponent. Entirely new implementation (about 90% new code). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

So I wrote this small script to help you type only what you need in your (customized) bibliographies and generate a file which contains all the extra info. I just wanted to share it. Who knows, some might find it useful. Note that its not a bibtex file parser! I'll be happy to make improvments if someone (besides me) ever gets around to using it.

Plain TeX macro: figflow -- flow text around a figure
by Robin Fairbairns 04 Oct '03

04 Oct '03

recently, in response to a post on comp.text.tex, Ian Hutchinson posted a short piece of code to do this job. the abstract i've written for the catalogue says Provides a Plain TeX macro figflow that allows one to insert a figure into an area inset into a paragraph. Command arguments are width and height of the figure, and the figure (and its caption) itself. (Does not work with LaTeX.) i asked (and was given) permission to put the file on ctan, and have installed it on ctan in directory macros/plain/contrib/figflow Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
