by CTAN Announcements 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

On 11 Aug 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the realbox package. Summary description: Provides variants of common ``box''-macros which reads their content as real box and not as macro argument. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This LaTeX package uses the authors other package 'collectbox' to define variants of common box related macros which read the content as real box and not as macro argument. This enables the use of verbatim or other special material as part of this content. The provided macros simply have the same names as the original versions but start with an upper-case letter instead. The long-form macros, like Makebox, can also be used as environments, but not the short-form macros, like Mbox. However, normally the long form uses the short form anyway when no optional arguments are used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/realboxes .

German CTAN Server down until 10 August, 07:00 UTC
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hello, In the next few hours, our hosting provider does maintenance work on infrastructure. During that time, power will be turned off. For that reason, I will shut down comedy.dante.de, a.k.a. dante.ctan.org, the German CTAN server in short time. Controlled shut down is much better than simply plugging the cord... ;-) The server will be back up in roughly 9 hours, at 07:00 UTC. (That's 9am Central European Summer Time, in case you're wondering. :-) During that time, CTAN mailing lists will not be reachable, mirrors can't rsync, no downloads or uploads can happen. I hope that this doesn't cause any inconvenience. For the CTAN team, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org CTAN Administration _______________________________________________ Ctan-mirrors mailing list Ctan-mirrors(a)dante.de https://lists.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/ctan-mirrors
