CTAN update: csquotes 2.7
by CTAN Announcements 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

On Wed, 13 Apr 2005, Philipp Lehman submitted an update to his csquotes package to CTAN. This package provides markup for inline quotations by means of control sequences and active quote characters. The quotation marks are context sensitive, they alternate for nested quotes and can adapt to the document language by interfacing with the <xref refid='babel'>babel</xref> package. The active quote characters and all quotation styles are fully configurable. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/csquotes/ License: LPPL CHANGES * Use the font's kerning pairs for adjoining quote marks, if available * Improved handling of adjoining quote marks with respect to line breaking * When restoring active quotes, restore catcodes of delimiters as well * Improved workaround for uppercase and some babel languages * Provided more useful default definition of lockcite * Issue error message on quote mismatch regardless of strict option * Issue hyperref warning with block quote macros in PDF strings * Fixed bug in DeclareQuoteStyle and DeclareQuoteAlias * Replaced setblockthreshold by SetBlockThreshold * Replaced setblockenvironment by SetBlockEnvironment * Various internal improvements * Revised and extended tutorial * Revised manual Thanks for the update.

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
