CTAN Update: zwpagelayout
by CTAN Announcements 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

On Sun, 1 Mar 2009 Zdeněk Wagner submitted an update to the zwpagelayout package. This package was developed as a typographers’ toolbox offering the most important features for everyday work. First it allows setting the paper size as well as the page layout. The next important feature is the ability to print crop marks both with TeX + dvips or (x)dvipdfm(x) and with pdfTeX. Finally it is possible to reflect pages both horizontally and vertically. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/zwpagelayout/ Summary description: Update of the sample files License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I was notified that the sample files require a private package that is not publicly available. The macros in the sample files were modified and dependence on encTeX was removed so that everyone can run them through LaTeX. The package itself remained unchanged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/zwpagelayout/ .

CTAN has a new package: nicetext -- wiki.sty, niceverb.sty (carnival edition)
by CTAN Announcements 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

On Mon, 23 Feb 2009 Uwe Lück submitted the new package nicetext to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ Summary description: ``minimal'' markup for simple text (Wikipedia style) and documentation License type: lppl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The NICETEXT bundle offers ``minimal'' markup syntax for rather simple kinds of text. The code you type should show little more characters than are printed, though you get LaTeX quality. We try to do away with backslashes, technical terms, and curly braces, which (a.o.) may cause musculoskeletal damages at PC keyboards <optional arghh>. 'wiki.sty' addresses general kinds of texts. 'niceverb.sty' is made for documenting LaTeX packages. 'niceverb.sty' especially offers [almost-]WYSIWIG for meta-variables (macro arguments) and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section titles etc. E.g., to typeset the syntax description foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>} you just type foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>} !-) One source of inspiration is the markup syntax that is used in editing Wikipedia pages. The package 'wiki.sty' of the bundle offers a very similar syntax as a LaTeX front-end. It suffices for italics, boldface, sectioning, and certain list-like environments. This is also similar to 'easylatex', http.//www.ctan.org/pkg/easylatex which is more powerful and uses Perl. 'wiki.sty', by contrast, is just a LaTeX package, working on any TeX installation. 'niceverb' is not ready in two essential respects, but I thought it should be released in time for German Carnival (read on in README) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ .
