CTAN upload: breakurl
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 Vilar Camara Neto submitted a new package breakurl to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/breakurl Summary description: The breakurl is an extension to hyperref package that allows line-breakable url-like links when compiling via latex + dvips + ps2pdf. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a command much like hyperref's url that typesets a URL using a typewriter-like font. However, if the dvips driver is being used, the original url doesn't allow line breaks in the middle of the created link: the link comes in one atomic piece. This package allows such line breaks in the generated links. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: isodate 2.27
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

On Fri, 11 Mar 2005, Harald Harders submitted version 2.27 of his package isodate to CTAN. >From the README: Tune the output format of dates. This package provides ten output formats of the commands oday, printdate, printdateTeX, and daterange (partly language dependent): ISO (yyyy-mm-dd), numeric (e.g. dd.,mm.~yyyy), short (e.g. dd.,mm.,yy), TeX (yyyy/mm/dd), original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy), short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy), as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month. The commands printdate and printdateTeX print any date. The date is given as an argument using the actual date format for output: printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or printdate{dd/mm/yyyy}, and printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}. The command daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary year or month entries. E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'. ChangeLog: 2005/03/11 v2.27 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Add option british. 2005/03/10 v2.26 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Support different input formats containing slashes. - Force year in four digits for long formats. 2005/02/21 v2.25 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Changed year, month, and day from macros to counters. - Warning for unknown languages. - Fall-back format for unknown languages. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: poemscol 2.02 (bug fix)
by CTAN Announcements 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

On Wed, 9 Mar 2005 John Burt submitted version 2.02 of the poemscol package to CTAN. The poemscol package is a set of LaTeX macros for typesetting critical editions of poetry. Its features include automatic linenumbering, generation of separate endnotes sections for emendations, textual collations, and explanatory notes, special marking for cases in which page breaks occur during stanza breaks, running headers of the form ``Notes to pp. xx--yy''for the notes sections, index of titles and first lines, and automatic generation of table of contents. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/poemscol License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixes bug in typesetting poems without formal titles. Customizes formatting of poem titles. Runover portions of verse lines can be flushed to the right rather than indented. Streamlined formatting of endnotes sections. Fixed a bug which requires an .aux file from a previous run to set endnotes sections. Titles with italics or international characters no longer need special handling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN update: lineno 4.11 and ednotes 1.1
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

On Wed, 9 Mar 2005 Uwe Lück submitted updates to his packages lineno and ednotes Locations on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/{lineno,ednotes} License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text for lineno: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Rows of `array' and similar math environments may be treated like usual lines, be numbered accordingly (included in the sequence of surrounding text lines), and be referred to by these numbers. Thus they also can be subject to ednotes.sty. To make use of this, please read the CHANGES.txt next. 2. linelabel produces an error outside line numbering mode. This may be helpful when you have forgotten to switch and wonder why all line numbers are 1, e.g. -- also with ednotes.sty. 3. Some explanations in lineno.sty/tex/pdf have been amended -- cf. CHANGES.txt for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement text for ednotes: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This upgrade is mainly concerned with 1. the number of possible notes, 2. page break oscillations, 3. `array' and similar mathematical environments, and with 4. a hopefully helpful error message; also with 5. amendments of documentation. Namely (see CHANGES.txt for more details): 1. Reimplementation of `ednotes.sty' with version v1.1, vital for huge editions (commercial/professional applications). You can now make three times as many notes as before, regarding the memory compartment for multiletter control strings. One user exhausted this by 11.000 notes on 450 pages (recent MiKTeX installation). Now he can add another 22.000 notes ... Warning: Customizations of epeatref and linewithpage as well as option `countoccurrences' need updates. 2. A checking function has been added for finding startings of page break oscillations. These typically must be fixed for getting correct references to lemmas in the apparatus. Explanations in `lblchng1.sty' v0.2 needed to be replaced by some of v0.32. 3. The `edtable' option of `ednotes.sty' now supports math environments like `array'. Explanations (`edtable.sty' v1.3) have been extended considerably, structured more clearly, and supplied with examples. 4. You get an error message when you have forgotten to switch into line numbering mode. I generalize from my own experience that this may be useful when strangely everything refers to line no. 1 ... 5. Documentations in `lineno.sty/tex/pdf' and `ednotugb.pdf' have been amended (additionally). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN upload: plotting data in matlab style,with metapost
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 Yang Yang submitted metapost macros to plot data in matlab style. Location on CTAN: /graphics/metapost/contrib/macros/matlab Summary description: MetaPost data plotting License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- matlab.mp ------- Metapost data plotting in matlab style Matlab has powerful data plotting ability, but one annoying problem prevents it from being perfect: when you increase the linewidth, the dotted line size stays the same, so the plotted line no longer looks like a dotted line. another problem is matlab bug: it oftern cuts away some curves and captions. plus, matlab is expensive. on the other hand, the free gnuplot also doesn't produce very satisfactory visual effects. I got accustomed to matlab's easy interface. so I want to integerate the powerful graphic function of Metapost and the easy interface of Matlab. so I wrote this script matlab.mp. this is based on graph.mp, I just collected the data into 2-D arrays, and remembered the line styles, so it's easy to plot out legends. FEATURES: all kinds of line color, width, style (dotted/dashed, etc), and markers. you can easily expand this by modifying the code. easy interface. very similar to matlab full power of latex in caption/legends, by using the latexmp package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: attachfile
by CTAN Announcements 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 Scott Pakin submitted a new version of his package attachfile to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/attachfile/ Summary description: Attach arbitrary files to a PDF document License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting with PDF 1.3 (Adobe Acrobat 4.0), PDF files can contain file attachments -- arbitrary files that a reader can extract, just like attachments to an e-mail message. The attachfile package brings this functionality to pdfLaTeX and provides some additional features not available in Acrobat, such as the ability to use arbitrary LaTeX code for the file icon -- including things like includegraphics, tabular, and math. Settings can be made either globally or on a per-attachment basis. attachfile makes it easy to attach files and customize their appearance in the enclosing document. (This is a bug-fix release.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: floatrow v0.1d
by CTAN Announcements 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

On Mon, 7 Mar 2005, Olga Lapko submitted version 0.1d of the package floatrow Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/floatrow License type: lppl Abstract: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The floatrow package provides many ways to customise layouts of floating environments; it offers possibilities to put floats side by side, to put a caption beside a float. All floats of one type appear in one layout. Some floatrow settings could be expanded to rows of subfloats (subfig package). Package gets the best with co-operation with caption 3.x package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes: - Bug fixing in counting of widths in float row and float box building. - Bug fixing: the color frames with color package get correct colours. - Restoring separate usage of floatbox command (outside of float environment) - Adjusting of floatsetup keys and options (naming and declaring). - Created new command DeclareFloatStyle command (instead of definefloatstyle), which uses floatsetup mechanism for float style building. - The lengths captionskip and floatfootskip became commands. - The floats with beside captions can be placed in floatrow environment. - The layout for floats with besdie captions advanced (added new possibilities of width setting). - The new sub-package fr-subfig (beta) with subfloatrow environment created: for usage with subfig package, this environment try to expand float style settings to subfloats. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

by CTAN Announcements 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 Nicola Vitacolonna submitted an update to his package europecv an unofficial class for European curricula. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a major update of the europecv class. The standard European model for curricula vitae has been recently modified. This update implements such changes. Please be warned that the translations are not complete yet: I invite people to send me the definition files and templates for their languages, and any needed correction of the existing ones. A short description of the class follows. This class is an unofficial LaTeX implementation of the standard model for curricula vitae as recommended by the European Commission. Although primarily intended for users in the European Union, the class is flexible enough to be used for any kind of curriculum vitae. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.
