CTAN package update: extsizes
by CTAN Announcements 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

A minor problem with the extsizes package has been reported. Since CTAN has no current address for the designated maintainer, the original author (Wolfgang May) has volunteered to provide a corrected version. The new version is now installed, at Cambridge, and is even now on its progress around the world. Thank you, Prof. May, for the new version. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Update: TeXshade v1.17
by CTAN Announcements 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

On Wed, 20 Jun 2007 at 16:16 +0200, Eric Beitz submitted an update to the texshade package. TeXshade is an alignment shading software completely written in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in the .MSF and the .ALN file format. It provides in addition to common shading algorithms special shading modes featuring functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a plenitude of commands for handling shading colours, text styles, labels, legends and even allows the user to define completely new shading modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility and the habitual TeX output quality-with reasonable time expenditure. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This TeXshade update introduces to new groups of commands to the DNA and protein sequence alignment LaTeX package which allow one a) to set a second threshold percentage for labeling two levels of sequence conservation, i.e. `allmatchspecial' becomes more flexible, and b) to put describing names left or right from feature lines and individually change their color and font styles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/texshade .

CTAN package update: cleveref
by CTAN Announcements 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

The package below has been updated 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: cleveref Author's name: Toby Cubitt Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/ Summary description: Automatic cross-reference formatting. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release includes a new poorman's cleveref option. When the option is supplied, the LaTeX document is processed as usual. But in addition, a sed script is written containing rules for replacing all the cleveref cross-reference commands with the text that they expand to. Running the LaTeX source through this sed script creates a version of the source that produces identical dvi or pdf output, but no longer requires the cleveref package. This allows all the features of cleveref to be used in LaTeX documents intended for distribution to places that do not support the cleveref package, for example for submission to academic journals. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/ .
