Name of contribution: SVG images and LaTeX
Version number: 2010-06-10
Author's name: Johan B. C. Engelen
Location on CTAN: /info/svg-inkscape
Summary description: How to include an SVG image in LaTeX using Inkscape
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This work demonstrates the use of SVG images in LaTeX documents.
Using the PDF + LaTeX output option of Inkscape 0.48, it is
possible to include SVG images in LaTeX and have LaTeX
typeset the text. This results in the same text style in the
images as in the text. Moreover, LaTeX commands can be used
in the image's text, such as math or references.
The document also describes how to automate the conversion
from SVG to PDF+LaTeX using Inkscape.

Author's name: Hans-Martin Münch
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/hrefhide
Summary description: Provides the command hrefdisplayonly .
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides the command hrefdisplayonly (instead
of href). While the (hyperlinked) text appears like an
ordinary href in the compiled pdf-file, the same text will
be hidden when printing the text. It is not really
invisible, but just has the same colour as the background
(default: white). Therefore the layout is not changed when
printing the document.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package puts the labels LastPage (AtEndDocument) and
VeryLastPage (AfterLastShipout) into the .aux file,
allowing the user to refer to the (very) last page of a
document. This might be particularly useful in places like
headers or footers.
When more than one page numbering scheme is used, these
references do not give the total number of pages. For this
case the label LastPages is introduced. Additionally, at the
last page of each page numbering scheme a label
pagesLTS.<numbering scheme> is placed, where
<numbering scheme> is e. g. arabic, roman, Roman, alph, or
Alph. For fnsymbol please use
lastpageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol} instead of
pageref{pagesLTS.fnsymbol}. When the same numbering scheme
is used twice, the page numbers are either reset to one or
continued automatically, depending on the option given when
the package is called. The command heCurrentPage prints
the current total/absolute page number - in contrast to
hepage, which gives only the page name in the current page
numbering scheme. heCurrentPageLocal gives the current
number of pages in the current page numbering scheme.
hepage and heCurrentPageLocal are different e. g. when
addtocounter{pageg}{...} or setcounter{page}{...} were
used.
At the first page of the document a label pagesLTS.0 is
created. This label can be referred to, too. Further labels
are provided for special cases.
The alphalph package is supported, i. e. page numbers alph
or Alph > 26 and fnyambol > 9 can be used (with according
options set). Even zero and negative page numbers can be
used with arabic, alph, Alph, roman, Roman, and fnsymbol
page numbering (with alphalph package and according
options).
