CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

On Tue, 10 Mar 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LATEX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. New in v1.3: - new annotation type: PDF text markup annotation (known from the comment function of Adobe Reader) -> pdfmarkupcomment - new option: markup (Highlight,Underline,Squiggly,StrikeOut) - Bugfix: avatar and style system wrong key families (copy and paste) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: TeXshade v1.19
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

On Mon, 9 Mar 2009 Eric Beitz submitted an update to the texshade package. TeXshade is an alignment shading software completely written in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in the .MSF and the .ALN file format. It provides in addition to common shading algorithms special shading modes featuring functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a plenitude of commands for handling shading colours, text styles, labels, legends and even allows the user to define completely new shading modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility and the habitual TeX output quality—with reasonable time expenditure. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This latest update of TeXshade provides a function that I wanted to implement for a long time: one can now display not only a continuous sequence stretch but select residues individually to eliminate uninteresting positions. Selection can be either manually or based on the 3D coordinates of a PDB structure file. This way, residues within a given distance to a point, along a line, or above and below a plane can be shown or specially labeled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ .

CTAN Update: dvisvgm 0.7.1
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

On Mon, 9 Mar 2009 Martin Gieseking submitted an update to the dvisvgm package. Author's email: martin.gieseking(a)uos.de Location on CTAN: /dviware/dvisvgm Summary description: updated version of dvisvgm 0.7.1 License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts dvi files to SVG. The latest release 0.7.1 provides the new option --no-fonts which replaces SVG font elements by paths and thereby enables applications without SVG font support to render dvisvgm's output properly. Moreover, new handlers for emTeX, tpic and background color specials have been added. It's now also possible to embed raw SVG snippets using dvisvgm's own tiny set of specials. For further information including a list of recent changes and pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project page http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvisvgm .

CTAN update: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities - 08
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should in the next day work its way through the mirroring system. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities - 08 Author's name: Danie Els Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch Summary description: Typesetting dissertations, theses and reports of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The usthesis class/style files are provided to typeset reports, theses and dissertations that conform to the requirements of the Engineering Faculty of the University of Stellenbosch. The class file usthesis.cls is based on the standard LaTeX book class, while usthesis.sty is a style file to be loaded on top of the very powerful memoir class. Both options give identical output, but the benefit of the using memoir is that it has many additional command and environments for formatting and processing of a document. Usthesis is primarily concerned with the formatting of the front matter such as the title page, abstract, etc. and a decent page layout on A4 paper. It also works together with the babel package to provide language options to typeset documents in Afrikaans or in English. Additional packages are provided for bibliographic matter, note title pages, lists of symbols, as well as various graphic files for logos. CHANGES FROM Stellenbosch-07: USthesis: v4.1 a) Fix errors in declaration page (usthesis.eng) a) Add signature and signed date macros for declaration page. USbib.sty v1.0 a) Rewrite inside bib testing mechanism for BIBand b) Remove redefinition of thebibliography environment.
