New on CTAN: edfnotes
by CTAN Announcements 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

On Wed, 16 Feb 2011 Uwe Lück submitted the edfnotes package. Summary description: critical annotations to footnotes referring by line numbers License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `edfnotes.sty' extends `ednotes.sty' so that you can refer even to footnotes of the edited work by line numbers, building on the accompanying `fnlineno' package in the `lineno' bundle. `ednotes.sty' has addressed “scholarly” critical editions of (hand-written) manuscripts. `edfnotes' additionally supports critical editions of (printed) works with footnotes. The package was developed for an edition of Bernard Bolzano's `Paradoxien des Unendlichen' by Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Tapp – a work with some very long footnotes. As to implementation, certain core parts of ednotes have been reimplemented entirely, this may later migrate into `ednotes.sty' itself. It had been hoped that `edfnotes' could build on the `bigfoot' package. This might have improved (automatic) page breaking and placement of original footnotes and critical annotations (whereas at present, some page breaks need manual trial-and-error solutions). However, analysis of `lineno' and `ednotes' for extending them, as well as many unexpected difficulties, exhausted project resources too early. David Kastrup's MakeSorted has here been implemented by inserting annotations to footnotes at the last main text line of a page only, hooking into lineno's numbering mechanism – a nice (leight-weight – ?) alternative to David Kastrup's approach. This work of a few weeks was possible due to major support by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, organized by Christian Tapp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/edfnotes .

CTAN Update: ydoc
by CTAN Announcements 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

On Wed, 16 Feb 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the ydoc package. Summary description: Added short version of MacroArgs and Macro, similar to 'shortvrb' License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About ydoc ======= The 'ydoc' class and packages provide a modern way to document packages. They are thought as an alternative to 'ltxdoc' & 'doc'. The 'y' is both a pun on 'xdoc' as well as stands for 'Yet another package documentation package'. This package is currently in the alpha stage, but already used for the manuals of the authors other packages. The implementation is not yet fully complete and might change in future releases. It is published on CTAN mainly to allow others to build the mentioned manuals. Changes: ====== Added possibility to define single-character versions of MacroArgs and Macro, similar to the short verbatim characters provided by 'shortvrb'. (Please note that most updates to this package are not announced on CTAN. ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ydoc .

New on CTAN: fnlineno
by CTAN Announcements 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

On Wed, 16 Feb 2011 Uwe Lück submitted the fnlineno package. Summary description: numbering footnote lines, including linelabel support License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fnlineno.sty extends lineno.sty such that even footnote lines are numbered and can be referred to using linelabel, ef, etc. It has been motivated as support for critical editions of printed works with footnotes, as opposed to scholarly critical editions of manuscripts. For this purpose, an extension edfnotes of the ednotes package for critical editions, building on fnlineno, is provided in a different directory. lineno.sty has also been used for the revision process of submissions. With fnlineno.sty, reference to footnotes in the submitted work may become possible. As to implementation, the method of typesetting footnotes on the main vertical list may later lead to applying the line numbering method to several parallel texts (with footnotes) and to `inner' material such as table cells. This work of some weeks, including approaches that failed, was possible due to major support by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, organized by Christian Tapp. The lineno bundle still needs reworking ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/lineno .

CTAN Update: PT Serif
by CTAN Announcements 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

On Wed, 16 Feb 2011 Pavel Farar submitted an update to the ptserif package. Summary description: PT Serif font and LaTeX support. License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the font PT Sans. - In the TeX Font Metric files changed the width of some accented letters (the width is now exactly the same as that of the respective unaccented letter). It was done just for the encoding IL2 and not for T1. Here is the list of changes: PT Serif Bold: Lcaron, tcaron PT Serif Bold Italic: Lcaron The letter tcaron in PT Serif Bold was narrower than t! The changes in PT Serif are smaller than changes in PT Sans. This change is interesting just for Czech/Slovak users.
