On Tue, 7 Nov 2006, Apostolos Syropoulos submitted a new package called
xetex-greek
to CTAN.
This package contains Greek hyphenation patterns for use with xetex.
The files included in the archive are:
- xgrmhyph.tex (for modern polutonic and monotonic Greek),
- xgrahyph.tex (for ancient Greek),
- xgrcodes.tex (category, upper/lowercase codes for all Greek letters).
The hyphenation patterns are just the standard hyphenation patterns
by D. Philippou adapted for use with xetex (only the catcodes, etc.,
files are my completely original contribution).

The isodoc class can be used for the preparation of letters, invoices,
and, in the future, similar documents. Documents are set up with options,
thus making the class easily adaptable to user's wishes and extensible for

Name of contribution: jeopardy
Author's name: Robert Marik
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/jeopardy/
Summary description: Build a jeopardy game in LaTeX.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The jeopardy package allows to build a jeopardy game with pdfLaTeX. It
is based on the jj_game class and exerquiz package, written by D. P.
Story. The author of the game can use multichoice questions or fill-in
questions. The answer for fill-in questions is either a mathematical
formula or text string (see the documentation of exerquiz and
RespBoxMath and RespBoxTxt commands to learn more about the
capabilities). JavaScripts are written to record the score. If the
score is greater than a given value, a hidden string is shown. The
user should use the style with some screen presentation package, such
as web or pdfscreen.
For the new version of jeopardy package, a new option picture has been
added. This option allows to build game where the user (student) answers
questions and uncovers (after a correct answer) parts of hidden picture.
The new option is demonstrated in game1a.pdf, game2a.pdf and game4.pdf
files.
