CTAN hazs a new package: stringstrings
by CTAN Announcements 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

A new package has been installed on 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: stringstrings Author's name: Steven B. Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stringstrings Summary description: String manipulation for cosmetic and programming application License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a large and sundry array of routines for the manipulation of strings. The routines are developed not only for cosmetic application, such as the changing of letter cases, selective removal of character classes, and string substitution, but also for programming application, such as character look-ahead applications, argument parsing, if-tests for various string conditions, etc. A key tenet employed during the development of this package (unlike, for comparison, the uppercase and lowercase routines) was to have resultant strings be ``expanded'' (i.e., the product of an edef), so that the stringstrings routines could be strung together sequentially and nested (after a fashion) to achieve very complex manipulations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/stringstrings .

The package below has been put up on 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: A Compact List of Symbols Author's name: Emre Sermutlu Location on CTAN: /info/symbols/compact Summary description: A user-friendly list of LaTeX and AMS LaTeX symbols License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This upload includes two lists of LaTeX symbols. One of them includes standard LaTeX+AMS+several packages. The other includes everything in the first+Txfonts. As Txfonts package redefine many symbols and fonts, they look different. These lists are not rivals to Scott Pakin's admirable and comprehensive list of symbols, as mine include much smaller sets. Yet, they were written in Beamer class, and therefore easier to view on a computer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/compact .
