by CTAN Announcements 27 Jun '08

27 Jun '08

On Thu, 26 Jun 2008 Jean-Pierre F. Drucbert submitted an update to the minitoc package. The minitoc package allows you to add mini-tables-of-contents (minitocs) at the beginning of every chapter, part or section. There is also provision for mini-lists of figures and of tables. At the part level, they are parttocs, partlofs and partlots. If the type of document does not use chapters, the basic provision is section level secttocs, sectlofs and sectlots. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/minitoc Summary description: minitable of contents by chapter, part or section License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Minitoc version #58 -- Renamed minitoc-tds.zip into minitoc.tds.zip. -- Added some figures about the geographic repartition of some languages. -- Updated the bibliography. -- Corrections of typos. -- Added a minitoc in the index to make it easier to consult. --* Added flags: ifinparttoc, ifinpartlof, ifinpartlot, ifinminitoc, ifinminilof, ifinminilot, ifinsecttoc, ifinsectlof, and ifinsectlot. --* Added commands mtcpolymtoc and siblings (polymorphic entries). --* Added the example document mtc-vti.tex. --** Renamed fminitoc.dtx and consorts as minitoc-fr.dtx and consorts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: * For ``polymorphic'' entries in the TOC, LOF, LOT and mini-tables, A ``polymorphic' entry is an entry whose aspect depends of the place where it appears. ** To allow typing texdoc minitoc-fr to access the french documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/minitoc .

CTAN has a new package: pgfopts
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '08

26 Jun '08

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: pgfopts Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pgfopts Summary description: LaTeX package options with pgfkeys License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Using key-value options for packages and macros is a good way of handling large numbers of options with a clean interface. The pgfkeys package provides a very well designed system for defining and using keys, but does not make this available for handling LaTeX class and package options. The pgfopts package adds this ability to pgfkeys, in the same way that kvoptions extends the keyval package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/pgfopts . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/pgfopts (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 .
