Name of contribution: sty2dtx
Version number: v1.0
Author's name: Martin Scharrer
Location on CTAN: /support/sty2dtx
Summary description: Perl script to add a .sty to a .dtx file (code section only)
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Converts a .sty file (LaTeX package) to .dtx format
(documented LaTeX source),
by surrounding macro definitions with 'macro' and
'macrocode' environments.
The macro name is automatically inserted as an argument to
the 'macro'
environemnt.
Code lines outside macro definitions are wrapped only in
'macrocode'
environments. Empty lines are removed.
The script is not thought to be fool proof and 100% accurate
but rather
as a good start to convert undocumented style file to .dtx
files.
It does not generate a complete .dtx file, just the code
section.

Caption: Trace which file loads which.
Description: The package produces screen/log messages of the form
‘<current> INPUTTING <next>’ reporting LaTeX input commands (<current>
and <next> being file names). The message is indented to reflect the
level of input nesting.
Tracing may be turned on and off, and the unit of indentation may be
adjusted.
The implementation somewhat resembles those of packages filehook,
currfile, FiNK and inputfile.

Update summary:
The new version adds support for optional arguments, and for having
several arguments.
e.g., one can put verbatim both in a section title, and in the short
title for the toc:
cprotectsection[Some verb+^&*+]{Longer verb+$%^&*+}
Nesting is also supported.
Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: /macros/latex/contrib/cprotect
Author: Bruno Le Floch
License: lppl1.3
Caption: Allow verbatim, etc., in macro arguments.
Description: The package defines the macro 'cprotect' that makes a
following macro proof against verbatim in its argument; as, for
example, 'cprotectsection{verbfoo}'
A similar macro 'cprotEnv' (applied to the 'egin' of an
environment) sanitises the behavior of fragile environments.
Moving arguments, and corresponding tables of … work happily.
* The new version supports macros with optional arguments, or with
several arguments. These have to be declared, as in
cprotect[om]sqrt[verb+%1+]{ verb+%3+ }.
*Nesting is supported:
cprotectsection{$cprotect[mm]frac{verb+%1+}{verb+%2+}$}.

Caption: Minimal markup for simple text (Wikipedia style) and
documentation.
Description: Nicetext bundle offers “minimal” markup syntax for various
simple kinds of text. The code you type should involve little more
than is printed, and you still get LaTeX quality.
The bundle provides four packages:
*'wiki' addresses general texts, marked up in the simple style
used on Wikipedia;
*'niceverb' is yet another means of documenting LaTeX packages: it
offers syntax-aware typesetting of meta-variables (macro arguments)
and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section
titles etc.;
*'fifinddo' aims to parse plain text or (La)TeX files using TeX,
and to write the results to an external file. This generalises the
philosophy behind docstrip: the package aims at practical application,
and is used by
*'makedoc', which provides the means to typeset package files.
