License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Briefly, this package aims at helping the LaTeX user at
underlining a given set of words by either a line (using
underline{text}), dots (using dotuline{text}) or even a
dashed line (using dashuline{text}). Various options were
implemented for this. This can be used in conjunction with
the phantomtext option, which allows the user to write a
text with gaps, e.g. for a completion by students. These
gaps can be completed with the real input using the
teachernotes option. Please note that this is a really basic
package. For more info on it, please look at the manual.

Name of contribution: The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List
Version number: 11.0
Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /info/symbols/comprehensive
Summary description: Symbols accessible from LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is an organized list of over 5900
symbols commonly available to LaTeX users. Some of these symbols are
guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution. Others require
font files that come with some, but not all, TeX distributions. The
rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN
(http://www.ctan.org/) and installed. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol
List currently showcases symbols from 130 separate typefaces.
This new release of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List (version 11.0)
is a particularly exciting one. At long last the document has been
fully hyperlinked! (This was not a simple manner of including a
usepackage{hyperref}; the document was filled with constructs that
confused hyperref.) The list contain almost a thousand more symbols
than before (a 20% increase), new how to prose in the Additional
Information section, an expanded index with more see... entries,
and other features designed to help the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol
List live up to its name.
Enjoy!
