On Thu, 26 Oct 2006, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
dvdcoll
package.
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll
Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember
if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to
recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully
searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths
and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and
a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll
class supports all these requirements.
dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result,
the class is not limited to DVDs ÿÿ you can of course typeset archives of
CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on.
Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German.
Some help is needed for other languages! ;-)
License: LPPL
new in v0.6a:
