The name of the package comes from it's implementation and ease of use.

The covers were aimed for containing only simple text with different font sizes, but since it is only a parbox in a tabular enviroment's cell, it can contain anything that a parbox can contain. There are also macros which can resize ready-to-print images to the appropriate size. The supported covers are -jewel case front, back and individual spine -two-page jewel case front -slim DVD keepcase -normal DVD keepcase -Blu-Ray keepcase -costum-sized keepcase -disk sleeve -one sided DVD keepcase inlay -one sided Blu-Ray keepcase inlay -costum-sized inlay ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/simplecd .

Serious error

just before midnight in cambridge, a serious incident happened on the cambridge ctan node, resulting in the loss of much of the macros/latex/contrib tree. because of the nature of the incident, the losses propagated to the other ctan sites. i have since then been doggedly restoring stuff from backups (not easy, since it involves juggling files across three machines), but at 0530, i'm starting to fail. i've made quite a lot of headway, but there is stil much to do -- i shall restart when i've had a bit of sleep. apologies to one and all. robin fairbairns

CTAN Update: listings-ext
by CTAN Announcements 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

On Tue, 29 Jun 2010 Jobst Hoffmann submitted an update to the listings-ext package. Summary description: Automated input of source code (C, Java, LaTeX, ...) into LaTeX documents. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package provides means for marking up source code (e.g. C, C++, Fortran, Java, LaTeX, ...), so that samples of it may be included in a document (by macros of the listings package) in a stable fashion, regardless of any change to the source. The markup in the source text defines tags for blocks of source. These tags are processed by a shell script to make a steering file that is used by the package when LaTeX is being run. The author is Jobst Hoffmann. The package is Copyright 2008-2010 Jobst Hoffmann. If one is working with (X)emacs and AUCTeX the including of the parts is supported by listings-ext.el, a style file which knows the syntax of most of the commands from the listings-ext package. Version v67 of the package is supposed to work also on Mac OS X. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/listings-ext/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=listings-ext (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 .
