CTAN new package marginfix

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: marginfix Version number: 0.9 Author's name: Stephen Hicks Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/marginfix Summary description: Patches LaTeX's marginpar routines to prevent overflowing and misalignment License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As advertised at TUG 2010 (more or less). Authors using LaTeX to typeset books with significant margin material often run into the problem of long notes running off the bottom of the page. A typical workaround is to insert vshift commands by hand, but this is a tedious process that is invalidated when pagination changes. Another workaround is memoir's sidebar function, but this can be unsatisfying for short textual notes, and standard marginpars cannot be mixed with sidebars. This package implements a solution to make marginpars just work by keeping a list of floating inserts and arranging them intelligently in the output routine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/marginfix .

CTAN update: UK TeX FAQ v3.20
by CTAN Announcements 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

i have installed a new version of the uk tex faq on ctan, and updated the version presented by http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq existing advertised faq links should continue to work. (note that there are no guarantees for links that use the long-abandoned question number form.) the major change in this version of the faq is that the package links (from the bottom of faq answer pages) now use mirror.ctan.org, rather than using www.tex.ac.uk exclusively. other changes are listed in the file help/uk-tex-faq/CHANGES-3.20 on any ctan node. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/uk-tex-faq.html or browse the package's directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
