CTAN has a new package: bibfile-reformat-pages
by Jim Hefferon 28 Sep '04

28 Sep '04

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks for the material, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: bibfile-reformat-pages Author's name: Barak A. Pearlmutter Location on CTAN: biblio/bibtex/utils/bibfile-reformat-pages Summary description: puts .bib file page ranges into uniform format (abbreviated or not as requested) License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Small gawk script to put all the pages= page ranges in a .bib file into a uniform format, either 1234-1256 or upon request 1234-56; 12-12 always scrunched to just 1234; squeezes out spaces around separator; can make all separators one-dash or two-dashes upon request. Very very conservative: probably impossible for it to actually mess up a file. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibfile-reformat-pages although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN packages update: ncclatex, ncctools
by Jim Hefferon 25 Sep '04

25 Sep '04

Two related packages have been updated on tug.ctan.org and should have already appeared at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the update, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCLATEX bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ncclatex, macros/latex/contrib/ncctools Summary description: Improved support for Cyrillic License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Using non-ASCII symbols in math mode is very limitted in LaTeX (e.g. cyrillic letters simply disappear when they typesetted in math mode). This leads to many errors in typesetting LaTeX papers, especially for papers converted from MS Word. The introduced light version of CP1251 input encoding, cp1251-light, allows using common cyrillic letters in label names and solves the problem of typesetting common cyrillic letters in math mode. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the packages at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncclatex and http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .
