by Reinhard Zierke 21 Jan '02

21 Jan '02

----- Forwarded message from Basil K. Malyshev ----- I have uploaded to `ftp.dante.de/incoming/bakoma' directory update for BaKoMa TeX 4.10 and macro packages coming with BaKoMa TeX. Please put the files to 'CTAN:systems/win32/bakoma' directory. New features (in short): * Text Editor Spell Checker: On-the-spot highlighting of misspelled words, correction proposals, handling accents and babel shortcuts. * DVI Viewer supports link text broken across lines. * Fonts: CM-Super, MathPatho, PalatinoLinotype (from Windows XP). * Support for Multi-User systems. * Running under *Windows XP*. * Reading TeX files in binary mode. More details are explained at end of this E-Mail. Bye. Basil K. Malyshev 21-Jan-2002 PS: Please send announce to approapriate mailing lists and news groups. --------------- About BaKoMa TeX 4.10 ---------------------- CONTENTS * Highlights * Graphical Capabilities * Fonts * User Interface * PDF Generation Features * New Features of BaKoMa TeX 4.10 For more information about BaKoMa TeX see <ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/index.html> BaKoMa TeX is a complete TeX system for Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000. HIGHLIGHTS * PostScript enabled TeX system. Generates *PDF* from documents with *PSTricks*, *PSfrag*, etc. * Supports using PostScript Type 1 fonts (including MM) *WITHOUT ATM*. However, using ATM for font rendering is optionally available. * Complete distribution includes about *1500* TeX Fonts (including EC/TC, LH) in ATM Compatible PostScript Type 1 font format. * Consistent graphics and font support for all DVI back-ends. * Easy to install and use. * Much less expensive than other analogues. GRAPHICAL CAPABILITIES BaKoMa TeX includes an interpreter for *PostScript Level 2*, which is tested for compatibility with output from popular software such as: MetaPost, Adobe Illustrator 9.0, Adobe Streamline 4.0, MatLab, CorelDraw, CorelXARA, HIGZ, PageDraw, FrameMaker, ImageMagick, etc. All DVI back-ends support the same special interface compatible with well known Rokicki's DVIPS, including processing PostScript embedded into DVI files (PSTricks, PSfrag, XyPic, etc.). The system includes Graphics Import Filters for the following formats: PostScript, HPGL, DXY, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, MSP, BMP. FONTS BaKoMa TeX supports the following font formats: * PostScript Type 1 (including Multiple Masters), * PostScript Type 3, * TrueType, * OpenType, * TeX PK/VF. The system includes about *1500* typefaces in PostScript Type 1 and Type 3 font format including the following fonts: * CM (including LaTeX and Logo fonts + vf for T1 with CX * AMS Fonts (Euler, Math Symbols), * EC/TC, * LH (T2A), * Concrete (Math, ECC), * Malvern, * CMCyr + vf for T2A/LCY * Scripting fonts, CMPica, Punk. Math Fonts: * Stmaryrd, Wasy, Rsfs, YHMath, BlackBoard (bbm, doublestroke). Diagram drawing fonts: * Lams, Astro Symbols (cmastro, astrosym, moonphase), * Barcodes (barcodes, wlean, wlc*), Logical (loggates, milstd), * timing, MusiXTeX, Chess/CChess, Go, Backgammon, Dingbats/NiceFrame. etc. Any font type can be used for any output device/format. This feature is supported by automatic font conversion between font formats when needed. This feature enables the rendering of Type 1 fonts *without ATM*. On the other hand, it enables the use of TrueType/OpenType fonts for generating PostScript printed even on PostScript Level 1 printers. USER INTERFACE * One touch key for TeX + Preview + other customizable postprocessors, * Typesetting a selected part of a document (styles may be precompiled as format). * Quick navigation via document structure, * DVI Forward/Reverse search (format independent), * Powerful support for different input encodings, * Project support, * Graphics import assistant, * Assitance for multi-file documents: context sensitive openning of included text and graphics files, * Searching for TeX errors using the TeX log file, * Searching for help for TeX commands in entire document collection, * Syntax highlighting is configurable for catcodes and command dictionaries, * Customizable GUI Bars and menus for inserting Math Symbols and other commands, * Spell Checker is configurable for handling (La)TeX commands. * Automatic creation of a BB-file for non-PostScript graphics. OUTPUT DEVICES/FORMATS * View on Windows Display. * Print on any printer supported by a MS Windows driver. * PostScript (really scalable), * PDF. Important feature of BaKoMa TeX is consistent graphics and font support for all types of output. This means that all font formats mentioned may be used for every type of output. This also means that all graphical capabilities mentioned are supported for every type of output. PDF GENERATION FEATURES * Handling in-line PostScript in DVI files (PSTricks). * Creating PDF files which share fonts. Suitable for preparing CD-ROM based document libraries. * Embedding fonts in CFF requires 2--3 times less space then other font forms. * Handles HyperTeX (HyperRef) and document outline. NEW FEATURES OF BAKOMA TEX 4.10 in comparison with BAKOMA TEX 4.05 Text Editor -- Spell Checker improvements. * On-the-spot highlighting of misspelled words, Spell Checking was integrated with (La)TeX syntax highlighting. In other words, unknown word are highlighted on display. Of course highlighting works correctly when you enter a words. * Speller is now case sensitive. * Suggestions for correction of a misspelled words are present; * It recognizes soft hyphens (exam-ples), accented character typed in 7-bit notation (Fur), whose may be defined in special dictionary. * It recognizes *Babel shorthands* (Fur). We provide ready to use tables for every language which has shorthands defined by Babel package. DVI Viewer -- supports link text broken across lines. DVIEW (DVI Viewer), coming with BaKoMa TeX 4.10, supports link text broken across lines. DVIEW makes links on multiple lines into different PDF links to the same target. Links saved into PDF are the same as shown on display. In advance, there is simple solution for links broken across pages, even when a footnote (or another foot material) is present on this page. Fonts. * The system was improved to support *CM-Super* fonts. Displaying fonts is supported via automatical conversion to Unicoded TrueType fonts. We provide small module (CM-Super.BKZ) which installs all stuffs required to use CM-Super fonts. * The system was improved to support PalatinoLinotype fonts coming with *Windows XP*. The problem is that these fonts have no PostScript glyph names. The names are generated from CMAP table according to Adobe's glyph names. * *MathPazo* fonts was added to PSFONTS.BKZ module. * Experimental set of virtual fonts for Palatino fonts in T2A encoding was added. Running under Multi-User Environment. BaKoMa TeX was refined for working in multi-user systems (Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, NT, and Win 98 with enabled accounts). It includes: 1. saving an user settings into a private configuration file. 2. creating private directories for TEXMFLOCAL and VARTEX. Running under *Windows XP* BaKoMa TeX 4.10 is preliminary tested for running under Windows XP. In result, some features was improved in BaKoMa TeX 4.10. However, if compatibility problems with Windows XP are found we intend to develop an update release of BaKoMa TeX that will address the incompatibilities. Miscellany. TeX processor now reads TeX files in binary mode. This approach has following advantages: * All types of line separators (DOS, UNIX, MAC) are supported. * Reading of Ctrl-Z (ASCII 26) and other control characters as simple characters is supported. For more information about changes see <ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/dst/changes3.html> ---------- End of BaKoMa TeX Information ---------- ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission. I installed it in CTAN:/tex-archive/nonfree/systems/win32/bakoma/ replacing the old version. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

There are no plans to implement them for jox.bst or jchic.bst. juratitle field in jurabib.bst was missing, reintroduced; new options `superscriptedition=multiple' (superscripted edition number instead of title for same work with different edition numbers) and `superscriptedition=kerning' (replaces jbsseditionkerned) introduced. ibpagename and ibpagesname introduced for separate formatting of pages in the bibliography. year after label (`}% <year>') removed in jurabib.bst. new field `updated' for @commented introduced, `suggested' by Holger Pollmann in dctt. @phdthesis function rewritten. `format.mthesis' and `format.juradiss.thesis' removed. Now only one generic function `format.thesis'. Bug reported by Marco Kuhlmann. German documentation extracted to jbgerdoc.tex. `latex jurabib.dtx' will no longer produce any documentation. TEXTEDITION FIELD REMOVED, same behavior is available by enclosing the edition in braces. new option `hypercite=false' for disabling automated hyperlinks when using hyperref package, suggested by Tilman Finke. mixed series and title in FUNCTION {format.btitle.vol} in jurabib.bst and jureco.bst corrected. opage and pageadd can be used in pages field, Bug reported by Sönke Schaal (<s.schaal(a)freenet.de>), solution suggested by Stefan Ulrich. changed version numbering. Ibidem/Idem-bugfix. Bug reported by Sönke Schaal (<s.schaal(a)freenet.de>) If German, `ibidem' and `idem' are used together, it appears `A.a.O.Ders.' because of ``hardcoded'' gender macros for German in dejbbib.ldf. bugfix regarding `superscriptedition=bib', the normal edition number was not suppressed for the first entry in the bibliography, bug reported by Andrea Heilmann (<andrea.heilmann(a)t-online.de>). jurabib.sty now removes `%' at the line end similar to hyperref.sty, (special thanks to Stefan Ulrich!). new option `citetoend' introduced, converts cite's (= non-footcite's) into endnotes (endnotes.sty has to be loaded). check for chapter numbers > 1 removed (options `citefull=chapter' and `opcit=chapter'). wrong warnings about ambiguous citations while using `authorformat=year' removed (bug reported by Anneke Emse). french and dutch translations for translator stuff inserted, contributed by Hélène Fernandez (french) and Maarten Wisse (dutch). once again iburlfont command rewritten, hyperlinks were missing. new url-interface, contributed by Stefan Ulrich, solves problems with url.sty and hyperref.sty. `authorformat=indexed' is working for obibliography now (suggested by Thomas Rahlf). Thanks to Stefan Ulrich. ibidem options are able to make a difference between same/different pages for subsequent citations by samepageibidemname or samepageibidemmidname and diffpageibidemname or diffpageibidemmidname. endnotes-support: non-footcite-commands are no longer automatically converted into endnotes. formatarticlepages[<separator>]{<page left delim>}{<page right delim>} changed to formatpages[<separator>]{<typelist>}{<page left delim>}{<page right delim>} The <typelist> allows you to specify any publication type for which you want to print out a starting page. new command jbdotafterendnote places dot after endnote, analogous jbdotafterbibentry. improved endotes.sty support -- emulated natbib cite commands are translated into endnotes too. new option `ibidem=name&title&auto' (suggested by Wolfgang Lange <wfl(a)ipg.mpg.de>). built-in footmisc's `multiple'-option (comma between subsequent footnotes) (suggested by Wolfgang Lange <wfl(a)ipg.mpg.de>). `format.title' replaced by `format.artperiodincoll.title' for @inproceedings (suggested by Olaf Meltzer). special macros for gender-dependent i(bi)dem introduced -- separately for bibliography (long) and citations (shorter). some internal corrections and bug fixes. (regarding the footnote period problem). a set of natbib emulating citation commands (without starred variants and not so nifty) introduced. par's are possible inside the annote field. `opcit' no longer switches `authorformat=year' automatically, the shorttitle will be used now to avoid ambiguous citations. `gender'-field for German users of the `idem' option added. This field can be used with six possible values:`sf'= singular female, `pf'= plural male, `sm'=singular male,`pf'=plural male, `sn'= singular neutrum and `pn'=plural neutrum. new command citetitleonly{<key>} added, this command doesn't print the author. undocumented option `footnotes=marginal' is working now also when using endnotes.sty. `idem' is working properly for multiple keys (e.g. footcite{<key1>,>key2>} will produce `Author, title; idem, other title'). `annote' option added. Enables output of the annote field, For commented bibliographies. `et al.'-generating mechanism for full names (non-labels) in jurabib.bst and jureco.bst is now the same as for the label (more than three authors/editors ==> et al.) jurabib should work well now with endnotes.sty. You can use all cite commands like before, the simple loading of endnotes.sty will print all your citations as endnotes (well, you have to place heendnotes appropriate yourself). Any `howcited'-option can be used with any other (except of `howcited=all'). `howcited=compare' places the remark only, if the shorttitle was used at least one time. Missing documentation of some v0.5e features (new entry fields) added. no longer LaTeX error message, if `authorformat=indexed' is used without using makeidx.sty. You will get a warning from jurabib instead. babel option `ngerman' is handled correct now (Thanks to Robert Schlicht). `idem' is working now inside a bibliographic entry (i. e. if the editor `edited a collection of articles and he himself wrote an article in it'). small bug in definition of ibimfont and edfont removed. New BibTeX-style for the humanities: jox.bst (beta stage) This style replaces jhuman.bst and does oxford like formatting. It is available only (as long as it is in beta stage) at http://www.jurabib.org Please replace the current files in the directory CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/supported/jurabib/ And please send an announcement to ctt.

The editor allows you to write structured documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which help you to produce professionally looking documents. The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write your own extensions to the editor. TeXmacs currently runs on PC's and PPC's under Gnu/linux (a >200MHz processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and on sun computers.

An important feature is its preview continuous mode, where it watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX etc whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can have an updated display whenever the source files change. The current version (3.04) has many improvements over previous versions. Apart from bug fixes: 1. The method for determining how many times to rerun latex is now correct in all normal situations. 2. The determination of the dependencies is greatly improved. 3. Pdf files can be made. 4. Improvements to correspond to current versions of LaTeX and associated software have been made. 5. License is GPL (with agreement of previous authors).
