New CTAN package: esk
by CTAN Announcements 05 May '10

On Wed, 5 May 2010 Tom Kazimiers submitted the esk package to CTAN. Summary description: The ESK package allows to encapsulate Sketch files in LaTeX sources. License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The ESK package allows to encapsulate Sketch files in LaTeX sources. This is very useful for keeping illustrations in sync with the text. It also frees the user from inventing descriptive names for new files that fit into the confines of file system conventions.

ESK behaves similar to EMP which encapsulates Metapost files and is in fact originated in it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/esk/ .
