tug.ctan.org offline
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

I am offline, pending an improvement of conditions. This includes tug.ctan.org, www.ctan.org, and az.ctan.org on the interfaces http, ftp, and rsync. In case I do not come back, I would like to thank the people that I have enjoyed working with over the years. I would also like to thank the TeX Users Group, including the board and particularly including Karl, for their sponsorship. And, I would be remiss if I didn't again acknowledge the support provided by Saint Michael's College to me, and to the entire TeX community, in bearing the Internet traffic. Jim Hefferon

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/sty2dtx .
