On Mon, 23 Feb 2009 Uwe Lück submitted the new package
nicetext
to CTAN.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/
Summary description: ``minimal'' markup for simple text (Wikipedia style) and documentation
License type: lppl
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The NICETEXT bundle offers ``minimal'' markup syntax for rather
simple kinds of text. The code you type should show little more
characters than are printed, though you get LaTeX quality. We try
to do away with backslashes, technical terms, and curly braces,
which (a.o.) may cause musculoskeletal damages at PC keyboards
<optional arghh>.
'wiki.sty' addresses general kinds of texts. 'niceverb.sty' is
made for documenting LaTeX packages. 'niceverb.sty' especially
offers [almost-]WYSIWIG for meta-variables (macro arguments) and
for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section
titles etc. E.g., to typeset the syntax description
foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>}
you just type
foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>}
!-)
One source of inspiration is the markup syntax that is used in
editing Wikipedia pages. The package 'wiki.sty' of the bundle
offers a very similar syntax as a LaTeX front-end. It suffices for
italics, boldface, sectioning, and certain list-like environments.
This is also similar to 'easylatex',
http.//www.ctan.org/pkg/easylatex
which is more powerful and uses Perl. 'wiki.sty', by contrast, is
just a LaTeX package, working on any TeX installation.
'niceverb' is not ready in two essential respects, but I thought
it should be released in time for German Carnival (read on in README)

Summary description: Selective filtering of error messages and warnings.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is meant to allow the user to filter out
unwanted warnings and error messages issued by LaTeX,
packages and classes, so they won't pop out when there's
nothing one can do about them.
Filtering goes from the very broad (avoid all messages
by such and such) to the fine-grained (avoid messages
that begin with...).
Messages may be saved to an external file for later
reference.

i have installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
users may view the catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pst-circ.html
or browse the package director at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-circ/
the catalogue entry on the web will be updated overnight (but it's not
much changed, to be honest).
