by CTAN Announcements 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

On Tue, 29 Sep 2009 Vincent Danjean submitted the new latex-make package to CTAN. Location on CTAN: support/latex-make Summary description: easy compiling of complex (and simple) LaTeX documents License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides several tools that aim to simplify the compilation of LaTeX documents: * LaTeX.mk: a Makefile snippet to help compiling LaTeX documents in DVI, PDF, PS, ... format. Dependencies are automatically tracked: one should be able to compile documents with a one-line Makefile containing 'include LaTeX.mk'. Complex documents (with multiple bibliographies, indexes, glossaries, ...) should be correctly managed. * figlatex.sty: a LaTeX package to easily insert xfig figures (with includegraphics{file.fig}). It can interact with LaTeX.mk so that the latter automatically invokes transfig if needed. * And various helper tools for LaTeX.mk Homepage: http://gforge.inria.fr/projects/latex-utils/ This package *requires* GNUmake (>= 3.81) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latex-make/ .

What's new: ** 8 new PDF-specific annotation layouts. ** New annotation layout: marginnote ** Better mechanism for handling layout mutual exclusion. ** Fix bug in inner layout processing. FiXme is a collaborative annotation tool for LaTeX documents. Annotating a document refers here to inserting meta-notes, that is, notes that do not belong to the document itself, but rather to its development or reviewing process. Such notes may involve things of different importance levels, ranging from simple fix the spelling flags to critical this paragraph is a lie mentions. Annotations like this should be visible during the development or reviewing phase, but should normally disapear in the final version of the document. FiXme is designed to ease and automate the process of managing collaborative annotations, by offering a set of predefined note levels and layouts, the possibility to register multiple note authors, to reference annotations by listing and indexing etc. FiXme is extensible, giving you the possibility to create new layouts or even complete themes, and also comes with support for AUC-TeX.

This should be at your local mirror within a day. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ....................................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: rangen Version number: 1.3e Author's name: D. P. Story Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/rangen Summary description: The rangen package is a package that generates random integers, rational numbers, and decimal number. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The rangen package is a package that generates random integers, rational numbers, and decimal number. Actually, the package uses the lcg package (by Erich Janka) to generate random integers, while rangen builds rational numbers and decimal numbers from the generated integers. My purpose in writing this package was to be able to create random questions for the quizzes of exerquiz (part of AeB). Indeed, that is what you can do with this package: Write a quiz question based on a template (for example, differentiate $a x^{ }$ , where a and are RVs (random variables) generated with rangen), determine if the user input is correct, and display the correct answer to the question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rangen .
