the daemon tried to rouse my attention around lunch time. i was busy with a 4-month backlog of log tidies, and so on ... so the install was delayed. > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: turnthepage > Author's name: Merciadri, Luca > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/turnthepage > Summary description: Indicating on twosided documents to turn the page > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > On some examination sheets, some professors or lecturers like to > indicate to the reader that the `page' can be turned.

CTAN has a new package: cprotect
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

This should be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .................................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cprotect.zip Version number: 1.0 Author's name: Bruno Le Floch Summary description: verbatim in macro arguments (footnote, section,...) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduces the macro cprotect, which allows the control sequence that follows to take verbatim text among its argument. For instance, footnote, section, chapter, itle... can be made to contain verb, and egin{verbatim}...end{verbatim}, as well as any catcode change. Moving arguments, ableofcontents, etc. also work well! A typical use: cprotectsection{The verb+|+ symbol.} works as wanted. Similar command for protecting environments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note from author: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am also thinking of writing a package that parses a TeX file for regexp, if people think it might be useful (probably a hard exercise in catcode changes). Let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cprotect . Information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/cprotect (it may take a day for the information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
