CTAN package update: achemso
by CTAN Announcements 21 Aug '08

21 Aug '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: achemso Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/achemso Summary description: Support for submissions to American Chemical Society journals License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- The achemso bundle, version 3 --------------------------------------------------------------- The achemso bundle includes a series of files for supporting submission to the American Chemical Society. The current bundle includes: - achemso.cls, a class for writing article - achemso.sty, a more generally-useful package following the ACS standards - natmove.sty, a small support package to modify the behaviour of natbib - achemso.bst and biochem.bst, two BibTeX style files which between them cover all ACS journal styles --------------------------------------------------------------- Version 3 is a complete re-write of the package. This is now the *official* class for LaTeX submissions to the ACS. The files have been tested by the publishers and work for submission. See: http://pubs.acs.org/paragonplus/submission/general/tex.html for details. The changes mean that users moving from version 2 should read the documentation very carefully. The BibTeX styles now *require*: - natbib - mciteplus while the package and class also *requires* notes2bib (and natmove). The recommended method for using the BibTeX styles is to load them using the package, i.e. usepackage[options]{achemso} as this provides a customisable interface and also ensures the correct packages are loaded. --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/achemso .

CTAN has a new package: verbatimbox

This package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: verbatimbox Author's name: Steven B. Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/verbatimbox Summary description: Store verbatim text in a LaTeX box, for use in places where verbatim environment is not allowed. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you need to include blocks of verbatim text inside figures or tables? The verbatim environment is not compatible with some of these other environments. But now, the verbbox environment allows you to input verbatim text and store it in a LaTeX box. That box then becomes generally usable in all other LaTeX environments, and can be simply recalled. This style therefore allows for a greater use of the verbatim environment within other LaTeX constructs where verbatim was previously inaccessible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/verbatimbox .
