On Tue, 24 Apr 2007, Jürgen Vollmer submitted an update to the
latex2man
package.
Location on CTAN: /support/latex2man
License type: lppl
Summary description: Latex2man is a tool to translate UNIX manual pages
written with LaTeX into the troff format understood by the UNIX
man(1)-command (or HTML or TexInfo)
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Latex2man is a tool to translate UNIX manual pages written with LaTeX into the troff
format understood by the UNIX man(1)-command.
Alternatively HTML, TexInfo, or LaTeX code can be produced too.
Output of parts of the text may be supressed using the conditional text
feature (for this, LaTeX generation may be used).
There is LaTeX package (latex2man.sty) used for writing the Man-page
and a PERL script (latex2man) doing the actual translation.
Changes from version 1.19
- Added optional parameter to Table-environment
- Fixed generataion of tbl-tables.

Name of contribution: xnewcommand
Author's name: Josselin Noirel
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xnewcommand
Summary description: Allow to define protected or global macros by
means of
ewcommand
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For most purposes, the features of
ewcommand
suffice. Nonetheless,
ewcommand lacks some
interesting features like the ability to make
definition global or to use the protected prefix
supplied by e-TEX. This--surprisingly
small--package makes possible to pass an optional
argument
ewcommand so that is becomes possible
to use the global and protected prefixes.
