UK TeX FAQ, version 3.14
by CTAN Announcements 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

I have just installed at Cambridge this version of the UK FAQ; I have update both the web entry (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq) and the CTAN directory help/uk-tex-faq. This is mostly a consolidation release, but see CHANGES-3.14, below. Note, I do not intend that the next release should be 3.141; I entertain some hopes that the next release will incorporate a new Web-access mechanism that I have in sketch form ... in which case the release will be called 4.0. Robin Fairbairns UK TeX FAQ maintainer, for the CTAN team CHANGES-3.14 Changes in version 3.14 New answers: Label breaklinks: why hyperlinks don't break under dvips Label cmdstar: defining a LaTeX command with an optional * Label errmissitem: what to do about perhaps a missing item Label minxampl: how to write a minimal example of a problem Label plninltx: pros and cons about using non-LaTeX commands in LaTeX Label wrongpn: the unreliability of hepage Revised answers: Label archives: edited out things we no longer do, removed fine detail of archive locations (has been wrong for some time)... Label bibtranscinit: another trick from Philip Ratcliffe Label codelist: while recommending listings, explain alternatives Label conditional: changes to cope with new release of extract package Label commercial: mention the self-help group for users of Y&Y TeX Label drawing: describe pgf Label dtx: describe makedtx Label findfiles: rewritten, striving for clarity Label ftncapt: rewritten in an attempt at greater clarity Label RCS: extend to cover subversion (packages svn and svninfo) Label spell: slightly restructured for CTAN changes Label tabcellalign: ghastly error corrected New or revised packages (or just ones never before mentioned): breakurl (mentioned in label breaklinks) c2latex (mentioned in label codelist) checkend (mentioned in label endingroup) makedtx (mentioned in label dtx) pgf (mentioned in label drawing) pseudocode (mentioned in label algorithms) splitbib (mentioned in label multbib) suffix (mentioned in label cmdstar) svn (mentioned in label RCS) svninfo (mentioned in label RCS) tgrind (mentioned in label codelist) Presentation: The subsection LaTeX macros has been split into two: LaTeX macro tools (generally stuff for programmers) and LaTeX macro techniques (generally stuff for users who just want a simple job done). zip and tar.gz retrieval have been switched in HTML generation; since many directories have pre-created zip archives, this reduces the danger of hitting the retrieving unknown file effect in some browsers.

CTAN package update: subfig
by Jim Hefferon 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

The package described below has bee updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: subfig.sty Author's name: Steven Douglas Cochran Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/subfig License type: lppl Summary description: LaTeX package for providing support for the inclusion of small, `sub', figures and tables. It simplifies the positioning, captioning and labeling of them within a single figure or table environment. In addition, this package allows such subcaptions to be written to the List of Figures or List of tables if desired. Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Several bug fixes, software and documentation updates: o Added lofdepth and lotdepth keywords (default value is 2). Just adding one of these to the keyword list, when loading the subfig package will setup the associated List-Of page to display the sub-captions. In addition, if new sub-floats are created with the ewsubfloat command, than an appropriate keyword is also produced for use with the captionsetup command. o Generalized the input of boolean values (i.e. made similar to the caption package). Boolean keywords may use any of the following synonyms: - For true: on, yes, or 1. - For false: off, no,or 0. o Changed the included configuration filename from subfig.cfg to altsf.cfg so that it will not be automatically included, as this configuration file modifies the subfig package to be mostly backward compatible with the (obsolete) subfigure package. Note, however, that the default configuration name remains the same: subfig.cfg. o Fixed problem with the loose and tight options in the altsf.cfg configuration file. o Added 'debug' setting to select which sort of skips or rules are used in laying out the subfigures. This puts the debug version of the package under ltxdoc control rather than requiring hand-editing. o Added caption keyword (for easy, caption=false) to allow the use of the subfig package without loading all of the caption package. This is needed for use with classes that have special caption formatting. o Added check for classes or packages that use let rather than def to modify the endfloat and enddblfloat commands. o Extended the subref* command to allow alternative formats using the (new) DeclareSubrefFormat command and subrefformat keyword. o Added compatibility with the FloatRow package. o Fixed some incompatibilities with the hyperref package references and a problem in the interaction of the hyperref package and the subfig package when continued floats are desired. o Many documentation changes, including discussion of new features, repair of reported typo's and other requested changes to clarify the package. o Fixed bug that required new float types to have their corresponding sub-floats defined in order to use the ContinuedFloat command. It is necessary to define the associated sub-floats only if they are to be used. In the process of these changes, a major bug was found in the internals of the subfig package. This bug could cause whitespace (e.g. spaces) between subfloats to allow a line break. Such whitespace is now ignored. However, if this 'feature' was used to format subfloats, than the formatting of such papers will change. If subfloats become mis-alligned when using this version of subfig, than the user will need to add an explicit linebreak, \ where needed. See the README file for more details. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can look at this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig .
