Name of contribution: program.sty version 3.3.11
Author's name: Martin Ward
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/program
Summary description: A style file for typesetting programs in maths mode
with indentation
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a copy of my LaTeX2e style file for typesetting programs
and algorithms in my favourite style without having to type
in endless tabbing commands. Each line is set in math mode
so all the indentation and spacing is done automatically.
The notation |variable_name| can be used within normal text,
maths expressions or programs to indicate a variable name.
Use origbar to get a normal | symbol in a program.
The commands A, B, R, T and typeset the corresponding bold
letter with the next object as a substript (eg S1 typesets {f
S$_1$} etc). They now cope with primes as well, (eg $S2'''$). The
program.sty file can be easily edited to reflect your favoured style.
Typesetting a program is as easy as:
(IF x
e 0 THEN |long_name|_{123} = x^y FI)
See the program-demo.tex file for examples.
The file should work with or without AMSLaTeX.

On Sun, 9 Nov 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an upadte to
the
biblatex-dw
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.2b
- BUGFIX: With 'xref=true', the first (full) citation did
not show the overall pages of @INBOOK, @INCOLLECTION and
@INPROCEEDINGS entries. This is now fixed.
- New option 'nolocation'. If set to 'true', the location
and the publisher are omitted (even if you set
'nopublisher=false'). The default is 'false', i.e. the
location is printed.
- The option 'shorthandibid' can now also be used on a
per-entry basis.
- Improved xref support: If the 'volume' field of a child
entry is set and the 'volume' field of the corresponding
parent entry is not set, the volume of the child entry
will be printed immediately before the pages.
