This package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: inlinedef Author's name: Stephen Hicks Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/inlinedef Summary description: Inlined expansions within definitions License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a macro Inline that precedes a def or gdef. Within the definition text of an inlined definition, keywords such as Expand may be used to selectively inline certain expansions at definition-time. This eases the process of redefining macros in terms of the original definition, as well as definitions in which the token that must be expanded is deep within, where expandafter would be difficult and edef is not suitable. Another application is as an easier version of aftergroup, by defining a macro in terms of expanded local variables, then ending the group with expandafterendgroupmacro ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/inlinedef .

by CTAN Announcements 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

On Tue, 8 Jul 2008 at 14:24 +0200, Jean-Pierre Drucbert submitted an update to the minitoc package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/minitoc License: LPPL This package allows the creation of mini-tables of contents, lists of figures or lists of tables per part, chapter or section, with language dependent titles. This new version has the following changes or improvements: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Minitoc version #59 -- Updated the bibliography. --* Renamed fminitoc.(pdf dtx) and consorts as minitoc-fr.(pdf dtx) and consorts. Already done in version #58, but the catalogue should be updated. --** Added some missing graphic files. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: * To allow typing texdoc minitoc-fr to access the french documentation. ** Required only to compile the documentation (!). I am sorry to have forgotten seven graphics files in version #58; thanks to Morton H??holm who signaled the problem. The administravive trivia are in the `CATALOG' file in the distribution. Note that the documentation is mainly available in PDF form: -- in (not perfect) english: minitoc.pdf, -- in french: minitoc-fr.pdf. The ``cmk'' script may be used to convert the PDF documentation into PostScript. The INSTALL file (and, better, the ``Installation'' chapter in the documentation) describes the files of this package (the complete list of files is in minitoc.l). A minitoc.tds.zip file is also available in the distribution. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/minitoc .
