On Mon, 10 Aug 2009 Scott Pakin submitted the new package
spverbatim
to CTAN.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/spverbatim
Summary description: Allow line breaks within verb and verbatim output.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LaTeX's verb macro treats its argument as an unbreakable unit of
text. This can lead to poor typesetting, especially when the argument
is long. The spverbatim package provides an spverb macro that is
analogous to verb and an spverbatim environment that is analogous to
verbatim with the difference being that spverb and spverbatim allow
LaTeX to break lines at space characters.

On Sunday, 9 August 2009, Norman Gray submitted an update to the
bibhtml
package.
It should soon be at your favorite mirror.
Location on CTAN: biblio/bibtex/contrib/bibhtml
Summary description: BibTeX style files (.bst) for producing HTML/XML
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bibhtml consists of a set of BibTeX style files, which allow you to
use BibTeX to produce bibliographies in HTML. These are modelled
closely on the standard BibTeX style files: plain.bst -> plainhtml.bst.
To accompany them, this package includes a pair of XSLT scripts which
illustrate how you might integrate these generated bibliographies into
an XML/HTML workflow.
This is version 2.0, released after a long hiatus. Differences from v1.3:
* The package now supports HTML versions of all four standard BibTeX styles
* The functionality of the style files has been improved, and is now based on the
output from urlbst versions of the standard styles (ie, it includes @webpage entry
types, and url fields on all entries)
