CTAn Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 24 May '11

24 May '11

On Mon, 23 May 2011 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v2.2: - added pdftooltip which allows annotating objects with tooltips - allow setting of disable globally pdfcommentsetup{disable} + pdfcomment[disable=false]{comment} => will enable this single PDF annotation feature request by: Zvi Gilboa - added option printSOfinal printSOfinal=false will not typeset the markup text in a StrikeOut annotation if the option final or disable is used! feature request by: Marcel Dausend - revised documentation added information about escape commands in pdfstringdef used for conversion of comments to PDFDocEncoding/PDFUnicode feature request by: Max Funk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfcomment (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 .

New Ctan package: ifnextok
by CTAN Announcements 23 May '11

23 May '11

On Mon, 23 May 2011 Uwe Lück submitted the ifnextok package. Summary description: replacing @ifnextchar so `\ [' prints `[' in new line etc. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `ifnextok' deals with the behavior of LaTeX's internal `@ifnextchar' to skip blank spaces. This sometimes has surprising or for some users really unwanted effects, especially with brackets following ` where the user does not intend to specify an optional argument, rather wants that brackets are printed. The package offers commands and options for modifying this behavior, maybe limited to certain parts of the document source. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ifnextok . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifnextok (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 .
