Inkyu Park submitted the hangulmath package. Version: 0.5 2026-10-10 License: ofl lppl1.3c Summary description: Hangul jamo as mathematical symbols Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hangulmath makes the 40 letters (jamo) of modern Korean Hangul available as mathematical symbols: 14 basic consonants, 5 double consonants, 10 basic vowels and 11 compound vowels. Each symbol has an official command name following the Revised Romanization of Korean (\giyeok, \nieun, ...) and consonants have short four-letter aliases (\giug, \niun, ...). \hangulsum, \hangulint and \hangullim turn any symbol into a sum-, integral- or limit-like operator. The package requires XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. The symbol glyphs come from a bundled subset of Noto Sans CJK KR (SIL OFL), so no Korean font needs to be installed. This is the first public release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/hangulmath The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/hangulmath/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Tom Bronte submitted the graphicnovel package. Version: 0.5 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A semantic LaTeX class for graphic-novel and comic scripts Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A semantic LaTeX class for graphic-novel and comic scripts. GraphicNovel is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that uses the working language of comics: stories, eras, pages, panels, locations, shots, action, dialogue, captions, and sound effects and an authoritative reference bible, to help writers and artists collaborate on long-form projects. It doesn't just format the author's script. It cross-references with the bible so that every panel, page, object, character and location are defined. Collaboration between artists and writers (not to mention the creative in the film and TV industry) need the consistency. What it provides: * A reference bible for characters, places, objects, and continuity notes. * Era-specific appearances, named expressions, and behavioural tells. * Stories, vignettes, comic pages, panels, and double-page spreads. * Page layouts expressed as panel counts by row, such as \pageLayout{2,1,2}. * Automated page and panel counters so you (well, I) don't have to worry. * Separate directions for background (\location), composition (\shot), and foreground activity (\action). * Dialogue, balloon-position notes, captions, sound effects, and production notes. * A compact option for proofreading without forced page breaks. GraphicNovel produces a script and reference material for collaborators. It does not draw panels or generate finished comic artwork, but at least everyone will be singing from the same hymn sheet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/graphicnovel More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/graphicnovel -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

11 Oct '26

Chu Yanshuo submitted an update to the hithesis package. Version: 3.1e 2026-10-10 License: lppl1.3a Summary description: Harbin Institute of Technology Thesis Template Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # hithesis Release Notes (English) This document lists all changes in hithesis from v2.0.11 through v3.1e. ## v3.1e - Fix the Latin Modern Mono fallback missing the \cs{IfFontExistsTF} guard, which caused CI documentation builds to fail. (2026/04/06) - Change the default behavior of \texttt{bibeditor} to match \texttt{bibauthor}, since the latter is already controlled by the class file and is no longer a what-you-see-is-what-you-get output. (2026/01/28) - Set the alignment of bibliography labels. (2026/01/17) - Add a thesis/design checkbox above the undergraduate inner-cover text; since hithesis does not yet support the graduation design, the checkmark is hard-coded on "graduation thesis". (2026/01/08) - Add an option for whether the English inner-cover title automatically adjusts its font size based on title length. (2026/01/07) - The English inner-cover title defaults to size No. 2 and can auto-adjust through the \texttt{etitleauto} option. (2026/01/07) - Set whether bibliography author names are fully uppercased and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/07) - \texttt{schrb}: implement figure, table, and equation numbering for the Harbin campus undergraduate proposal as "图 X-X", "表 X-X", and "公式 (X-X)". (2026/01/05) - \texttt{schrb}: add a page style for scanned PDFs that shows only the page number. (2026/01/04) - \texttt{schrb}: add a starred variant to control whether page numbers are shown on scanned PDF pages. (2026/01/04) - Add a starred variant to control whether page numbers are shown on scanned PDF pages. (2026/01/04) - Add a pair of empty braces to the environment above. (2026/01/03) - Replace \cs{@,} with \texttt{,}. (2026/01/03) - Control whether bibliography author names are fully uppercased and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/03) - Change the output to \texttt{\{\{, 等/et al\}\{, 作者1\}...\{, 作者-1\}\}} so the class file can control author capitalization and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/03) - Set whether bibliography author names are fully uppercased and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/03) - Fix the defense resolution only being insertable on the first page, and adjust the indentation of the related insertion code. (2025/12/09) - \texttt{FullRight} introduced too many bugs, so drop it (a \texttt{nolinebreak} was added to the \texttt{.bst} file instead). (2025/10/17) - Use \texttt{nolinebreak} so periods no longer appear at the beginning of a line (\texttt{FullRight} introduced too many bugs, so drop it). (2025/10/17) - Revise the "学位" (Degree) field on the Harbin campus master proposal cover. (2025/09/21) - Revise the "学院（部）" and "学科/学位专业类别" fields on the Harbin campus master proposal cover. (2025/09/21) - Add "学位论文" or "实践成果" to the Harbin campus master proposal cover. (2025/09/21) - Add the doctoral dissertation reviewers, defense committee list, and defense resolution. \issue[247] (2025/03/20) - Add fallback fonts so the document builds on local machines, CI, Debian, and macOS alike.
