CTAN has a new package: BibTeX Database Generator
by Jim Hefferon 09 Oct '03

09 Oct '03

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in a day or two. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: BibTeX Database Generator Author's name: Pallav Gupta Location on CTAN: support/bibtex-gen Summary description: A simple interactive script to generate BibTeX Files. License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just an interactive script that I use in my Latex work to generate Bibtex files. I do not like typing all the unnecessary details nor do I like copying and then modifying entries. 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. You're welcome to email me to provide suggestions. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/bibtex-gen although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

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

CTAN has a new package: TeX for the Impatient
by Jim Hefferon 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

The new package described below has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in a day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: TeX for the Impatient Author's name: Karl Berry Location on CTAN: info/impatient/ Summary description: GFDL'd distribution of TeX for the Impatient. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The book TeX for the Impatient was originally published in 1990 by Addison-Wesley. It contains both tutorial and reference information on primitive and plain TeX; it does not discuss LaTeX. Now, it's been declared out of print and A-W has reverted all rights to us, the authors. We've decided to make the book available in source form, under the GNU Free Documentation License, as our way of supporting the community which supported the book in the first place. Information about the free edition is included in the preface, the copyright page, and the README. We'd be interested in hearing about any projects undertaken with this material. We don't plan to make any further changes or additions to the book ourselves, except for correction of any outright errors reported to us, and perhaps inclusion of the illustrations. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
