CTAN Update: savetrees
by CTAN Announcements 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the savetrees package. Summary description: Pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission. Version 2.1 introduces a convenient set of package meta-options -- subtle, moderate, and extreme -- which encapsulate useful subsets of savetrees's space-saving techniques. In addition, savetrees now knows how to reduce space within and between mathematical expressions. Finally, to complement the documentation, the package includes a new demonstration file, st-sample2.pdf, which showcases savetrees's ability to reduce document white space. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/savetrees . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/savetrees (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Clemens Niederberger submitted the snotez package. Summary description: sidenote support for LaTeX 2e License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This has just been an exercise on a lazy afternoon. Well, more or less at least. Since there already is Andy Thomas' `sidenotes' package (mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sidenotes) there is probably no real need for `snotez'. Moreover, the tufte classes (mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tufte-latex) as well as the memoir class (mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir) also provide corresponding mechansims. Besides the fun I had my motivation was also based on the fact that I didn't like some smaller things (_not_ bugs) done by the `sidenotes' package such as inserting kerns and superscripted commas for multiple marks. I prefer to let my `fnpct' package handle these things. Anyways, here it is and it seems to be working as intended so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be available to others for use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/snotez .
