Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ednotes Summary description: provisional bug fix License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug: with ordinary numbered footnotes, spurious footnote marks appear where nothing should appear, due to a malfunction of an underlying package.

CTAN update: noreinserts -- protect footnotes etc. against LaTeX floats
by CTAN Announcements 09 Apr '05

09 Apr '05

On Fri, 8 Apr 2005 Uwe Lück submitted an update for his package noreinserts to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/noreinserts/ Summary description: Update v0.3: switch back + support floatflt.sty License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package provides a hack to prevent LaTeX figures, tables, marginpar etc. from causing misplacement of footnotes, footnote splits etc. New with v0.3: * At places where the package performs worse than Standard LaTeX, you can now turn it off (for a while) by user commands. * Mats Dahlgren's floatflt (wrapping text around floats) is supported, probably dealing with the footnotes problem indicated in its documentation. In looking at its code, I find that I need to replace the inappropriate names `noreins.sty' etc. ... A demo file is provided. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: latexMP 1.2.1
by CTAN Announcements 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

On Thu, 7 Apr 2005 Jens-Uwe Morawski submitted an update for latexMP to CTAN. The MetaPost package latexMP implements a user-friendly interface to access LaTeX-based typesetting capabilities in MetaPost. The text to be typeset is given as string. This allows even dynamic text elements, for example counters, to be used in labels. Compared to other implementations it is much more flexible, since it can be used as direct replacement for btex..etex, and much faster, compared for example to the solution provided by tex.mp Location on CTAN: graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/latexmp/ Summary description: LaTeX based typesetting in MetaPost License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Update of latexMP to version 1.2.1. This update fixes the problem that two internal variables have not been grouped correctly. Additionally, the documentation is now complete. Examples are now included in the main documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

Re: CTAN upload notification: noreinserts
by CTAN Announcements 06 Apr '05

06 Apr '05

On Tue, 5 Apr 2005 Uwe Lück submitted a new, experimental package called noreinserts Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/noreinserts/ Summary description: use holdinginserts with LaTeX floats in a simple/experimental way. License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX's figures, tables, and marginpar's are dangerous for footnotes (and probably enlargethispage). Here is a proposal (a patch .sty) to help using holdinginserts in a simple way. It replaces the original problem with a new one -- it is an experiment to find out whether the new problem is less bad (or it is just a contribution to the discussion, maybe just a summary of previous work). The files provide further informations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
