CTAN has a new package: DeLig
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

The package below has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: DeLig Author's name: Daniel Warner Location on CTAN: /support/delig Summary description: DeLig disables misplaced ligatures in LaTeX documents License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DeLig disables misplaced ligatures in LaTeX documents using a dictionary approach. In general LaTeX always uses ligatures for the letter combinations ff, fi, fl, ffi and ffl. This is not always correct in the German language, e.g. the word Auflage may not be printed with an fl-ligature, that is, the fl-ligature in Auflage must be disabled. This may be accomplished by using the babel-package and the two symbols |: Auflage. The Java program DeLig does this job automatically for you, using a ligature word list. Please note that DeLig is only as good as the ligature word list file DeLig.list it relies on. This version is intended for German language texts only. DeLig is partially based on the Perl script rmligs by Björn Jacke, in particular the wordlist data is based on his igerman98 dictionary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/delig .

The package below has been updated and is working 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: vc bundle Author's name: Stephan Hennig Location on CTAN: /support/vc Summary description: version control for TeX and friends License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a script based approach to version control for TeX documents.

A new package has been installed at 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: frontespizio Author's name: Enrico Gregorio Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/frontespizio Summary description: This package provides an environment to typeset a frontispiece to theses in Italian style License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Typesetting a frontispiece independently of the layout of the main document is difficult. This package provides a solution by producing an auxiliary TeX file to be typeset on its own and the result is automatically included at the next run. The markup necessary for the frontispiece is written in the main document in a frontespizio environment. Documentation is mainly in Italian, as the frontispiece style is probably apt only to theses in Italy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/frontespizio .
