CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

On Fri, 13 Jun 2008 Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package, a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.7) and cannot be used without it. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1e - BUGFIX: The option 'edbeforetitle' caused a problem when used together with the 'idem' functionality (which is the default). This is now fixed. - Enhanced the 'idem' functionality: If a citation with shorthand precedes a citation of the same author or editor without shorthand, the string 'idem' is now replaced by the author's or editor's name, since this information cannot be gathered from the shorthand citation and thus could mislead the reader. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=biblatex-dw (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 .

by CTAN Announcements 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

This package defines LetLtxMacro that also takes care of the involved internal macros. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek License: LPPL Changes: * letltxmacro v1.1 * Support for xpackage{etoolbox}'s cs{newrobustcmd} added. * letltxmacro v1.2 * Support for xpackage{etoolbox}'s cs{robustify} added.

CTAN package withdrawn: memoir-beta
by Robin Fairbairns 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

The production release of memoir has been around for some time, without substantial complaint, so Peter Wilson has asked me to remove the beta-distribution (macros/latex/eptl/memoir-beta). Its disappearance is, even as I write, propagating around the world. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: fontwrap
by CTAN Announcements 08 Jun '08

08 Jun '08

This package has been put up at tug.ctan.org and should soon work its way through the system. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: fontwrap Author's name: Mike Pomax Kamermans Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/fontwrap Summary description: fontwrap lets you bind fonts to specific unicode blocks, for automatic font tagging of multilingual text License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For everyone who writes multilingual texts, fontwrap makes the hassle of adding language changing or font changing macros a lot easier by dispensing with having you add them in your text altogether. Just tell the package which fonts to use for which Unicode blocks or groups (such as the Hebrew block, or all Latin blocks) and wrap your text in the fontwrap macro (requires UTF8 input, but then when don't you save a multilingual file in UTF8 anymore these days?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/fontwrap .
