Dan Luecking submitted the minifp package to CTAN. Summary description: Fixed-point real computations to 8 decimals. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides basic arithmetic operations to 8 decimal places for plain TeX or LaTeX. Results are exact when they fit within the digit limits. Along with the basic package is an optional extension that adds computation of sin, cos, log, sqrt, exp, powers and angles. These are also exact when theoretically possible and are otherwise accurate to at least 7 decimal places. In addition there is provided a stack-based programing environment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/minifp .

CTAN Update: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.2e [2013/01/10] This version should be the last one in the 1.2 series as it seems to correct most of the main problems which were introduced with the massive use of mathematically active characters in versions 1.2 and 1.2b. * It is indeed a thorny point when one wants to modify only in math mode how an active character acts, without breaking things. The package now does that /only/ if the activation appears to originate in the Babel system, as it is then possible to modify appropriately the Babel macros user@active<char> and ormal@char<char>. The relevant issues are discussed in section 2.10 of the user manual, in the test file testmathastextalphabets.tex, and in the source code comments to the macro mst@mathactivate. The inherent incompatibility of Babel with packages having made mathematically active the characters itself makes document active is circumvented by this interference of mathastext. A generally applicable Babel patch could be derived from the method used by mathastext. * The technique of mathematical activation is maintained only for the characters which are not catcode active (at the entrance in math mode, as mathastext does all its activation job at everymath and everydisplay). * Sadly, the feature of added italic corrections introduced in version 1.2b did not behave as described in the user manual, due to forgotten group braces. Fixed. * The command MTlowerast from the user manual of v1.2d was not the one implemented in the source code. Fixed. * The test files automatically extracted from a latex run on the dtx file have been revised and extended. * The code is better documented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .

New on CTAN: multiexpand
by CTAN Announcements 10 Jan '13

Bruno Le Floch submitted the multiexpand package to CTAN. Summary description: Variations on the expandafter primitive License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Macros meant to avoid using too many expandafter. Should hopefully be compatible with plain, LaTeX and ConTeXt, but requires eTeX's umexpr. This was written before I had understood LaTeX3's variant mechanism, and I advise people who fight with expansion to use LaTeX3 rather than multiexpand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/multiexpand .

New on CTAN: threadcol
by CTAN Announcements 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Scott Pakin submitted the threadcol package to CTAN. Summary description: Organize document columns into PDF article threads License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The threadcol package combines a document's columns into a PDF article thread. PDF readers that support this mechanism (probably just Adobe Acrobat/Reader) can be instructed to scroll automatically from column to column, which facilitates on-screen reading of two-column documents. Even for single-column documents, threadcol supports the creation of multiple article threads, which help organize discontiguous but logically related regions of text into a form that the user can scroll through as if its contents were contiguous. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/threadcol/ .
