CTAN Update: adrconv
by CTAN Announcements 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

On Sun, 4 Apr 2010 Axel Kielhorn submitted an update to the adrconv package. Summary description: BibTeX styles to implement an address database. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release contains the modifications I made to adrconv over the last 4 years. New features: - Removed email.bst and added email, notes, and organization to the fields exported by adrconv.bst. Email and Notes are printed by adrdir.tex. - Renamed birthday.bst to adrbirthday.bst to avoid a collision with directory.cls - Added support for a pdfTeX only workflow, no DVIDVI is needed, supplied files for automatic imposition. - Added a quick and dirty solution to export data from Addressbook.app via a Pages file and some vi commands. The archive contains a Pages file useable with iWork08 or iWork09 and a Vim script, both should go to the doc directory in TL. When the dtx is expanded, adrmontage[12].tex should go to the doc directory as well, these are templates that need modification by the user. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/adrconv .

quoth the daemon on thursday (and i forgot it and deleted the mail, and have only just been reminded and restored the mail from archive): > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: librarian > Author's name: Paul Isambert > Location on CTAN: macros/generic/librarian > Summary description: Tools to create bibliographies in TeX. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > The librarian package extracts information in bib files, makes it > available in the current document, and sorts lists of entries > according to that information and the user's specifications. Citation > and bibliography styles can then be written directly in TeX, without > any use of BibTeX. Creating references thus depends entirely on the > user's skill in TeX. > > The package works with all formats using plain TeX's basic syntactic > sugar; the distribution includes a third-party file for ConTeXt and a > style file for LaTeX. > > As an example of use, an Author (Year) style is given in a separate > file and explained in the documentation. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i installed the package (on thursday) and created the catalogue entry then too. thanks to Paul for the upload. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/librarian.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/generic/librarian/ and of course, given the delay, the catalogue entry is now stable.
