CTAN Update mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 23 Dec '12

23 Dec '12

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * A new command sets up the amount of space to be automatically inserted before the derivative glyph (useful when using an upright font). * The scope of the math alphabets has been extended to apply to the non-alphabetical characters, and also to operator names. In usual math mode $mathbf{(sin(n!)<cos(x)?)}$ changes only the font for n and x. With mathastext and if not told otherwise, /everything/ in the formula above will respond to mathbf (and the automatic spaces are left untouched). * The documentation has been improved. The package file is self-extracting from the dtx, and four additional test files are also produced during `latex mathastext.dtx'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mathastext (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 .
