Summary description: Saveboxes for repeating content without code
replication, based on PDF Form XObjects
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package defines commands for saving content that can be repeatedly
placed into the document without replicating DVI/PDF code in the output
file, allowing for smaller file size of the final PDF and improved
content caching for faster display in certain PDF viewers. The method
makes use of `Form XObjects' defined in the PDF specification.
The user commands are modelled after the standard LaTeX commands
savebox, sbox, usebox and the `lrbox' environment.
All common TeX engines and back-ends are supported:
* pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX
* LaTeX --> dvips --> ps2pdf/Distiller
* (Xe)LaTeX --> (x)dvipdfmx
The user commands are:
* content saving:
xsavebox{<name>}[<width>][<position>]{...}
xsavebox*{<name>}[<width>][<position>]{...}
xsbox{<name>}{...}
egin{xlrbox}{<name>}...end{xlrbox}
egin{xlrbox*}{<name>}...end{xlrbox*}
<name> is an identifier (not a command!) composed of arbitrary
non-active characters, including spaces and numbers. A command for
declaration of <name> does not exist.
Starred `*' variants allow for colour injection (pdfLaTeX/LuaLaTeX
only).
* content insertion (referencing):
xusebox{<name>}
he<name>
The second, short form is useable if <name> is composed of
[a-zA-Z].
The package was written in the LaTeX3 syntax.

Summary description: Typesetting sequences of math formulas, e.g. type
inference rules
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package mathpartir provides macros for typesetting math formulas in
mixed horizontal and vertical mode, automatically as best fit. It
provides an environment mathpar that behaves much as a loose centered
paragraph where words are math formulas and spaces between them are
larger and adjustable. It also provides a macro inferrule for
typeseting fractions where both the numerator and denominator may be
sequences of formulas that will be also typeset in similar way. It can
typically be used for typeseting sets of type inference rules or typing
derivations.
