New CTAN Package: jvlisting
by CTAN Announcements 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

On Tue, 19 Jul 2011 Jochen Voss submitted the jvlisting package. Summary description: a replacement for LaTeX's verbatim package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides the LaTeX environment 'listing', an alternative to the built-in 'verbatim' environment. The 'listing' environment is specially taylored for including listings of computer program source code into documents. The main advantages over the original 'verbatim' environment are that 'listing' environments automatically fix leading white-space so that the environment and program listing can be indented with the rest of the document source and that 'listing' environments can easily be customised and extended. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/jvlisting . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/jvlisting (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 .

by CTAN Announcements 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Karl Berry writes: We've gone ahead with the network release of TeX Live 2011 (as some people have already noticed :). It is now or will be soon available from CTAN sites (http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive). As with last year, we recommend doing a network install in one way or another instead of downloading the large (2+gb) .iso -- see http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html for a discussion of the various alternatives. Package updates will restart in another day or two. If anyone notices stale or missing information on the TL web pages, or problems with the release, please report as usual. MacTeX 2011 (http://tug.org/mactex) and proTeXt 3.0 for 2011 (http://tug.org/protext) have also been released and are available from CTAN. The TeX Collection DVD with all the above will be released as soon as possible; hopefully, it will go out in August. Happy TeXing, Karl

On Mon, 18 Jul 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the collectbox package. Summary description: Collect macro arguments as boxes License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides macros to collect and process an macro argument (i.e. something which looks like a macro argument) as horizontal box instead as a real macro argument.

The provided macros are mainly intended to be used inside other macros or environments ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/collectbox .
