CTAN has a new package: spverbatim
by CTAN Announcements 11 Aug '09

11 Aug '09

On Mon, 10 Aug 2009 Scott Pakin submitted the new package spverbatim to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/spverbatim Summary description: Allow line breaks within verb and verbatim output. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX's verb macro treats its argument as an unbreakable unit of text. This can lead to poor typesetting, especially when the argument is long. The spverbatim package provides an spverb macro that is analogous to verb and an spverbatim environment that is analogous to verbatim with the difference being that spverb and spverbatim allow LaTeX to break lines at space characters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/spverbatim .

CTAN update: bibhtml 2.0
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

On Sunday, 9 August 2009, Norman Gray submitted an update to the bibhtml package. It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: biblio/bibtex/contrib/bibhtml Summary description: BibTeX style files (.bst) for producing HTML/XML License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bibhtml consists of a set of BibTeX style files, which allow you to use BibTeX to produce bibliographies in HTML. These are modelled closely on the standard BibTeX style files: plain.bst -> plainhtml.bst. To accompany them, this package includes a pair of XSLT scripts which illustrate how you might integrate these generated bibliographies into an XML/HTML workflow. This is version 2.0, released after a long hiatus. Differences from v1.3: * The package now supports HTML versions of all four standard BibTeX styles * The functionality of the style files has been improved, and is now based on the output from urlbst versions of the standard styles (ie, it includes @webpage entry types, and url fields on all entries) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/biblio/bibtex/contrib/bibhtml (replacing current contents) . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=bibhtml (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: dashrule 1.2
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

On Sunday, 9 August 2009, Scott Pakin submitted an update to the dashrule package. It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/dashrule Summary description: Draw dashed rules License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's ule and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as ule, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally using ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor. Version 1.2 of dashrule fixes a bug (reported by Piazza Luca) that prevented hdashrule from working properly within a tabular cell and adds support for empty dash patterns for more consistency with PostScript's setdash command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/dashrule . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=dashrule (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: pkfix-helper
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

On Saturday, 8 August 2009, Scott Pakin submitted an update to the pkfix-helper package. It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: /support/pkfix-helper Summary description: Make PostScript files accessible to pkfix License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts. Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced by older versions of dvips. pkfix-helper is a program that attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process documents fully autonomously but does require the user to verify and, if needed, correct its decisions. Version 1.2 of pkfix-helper provides a --cache option that can speed up the processing of multiple PostScript files by analyzing TFM font metrics once, storing the results in a specified cache file, and reusing that cache file on subsequent runs. This feature was requested by M. S. Dousti. The accompanying encoding-samples.pdf document, which shows samples of various TeX font encodings to help a user identify obscure document fonts, has been enhanced to include samples of eufm10, msam10, msbm10, wasy10, ptmr8r, cmtex10, and stmary10. This enhancement was requested by Rogério Brito. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/pkfix-helper .
