Charles P. Schaum submitted an update to the nameauth package. Version: 4.1 2025-02-04 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am delighted to announce the release of nameauth 4.1. In addition to fixing bugs related to index sub-entries and reducing some potential cases for warnings, new features allow greater ease and flexibility in working with Roman names, easier debugging, the ability of some macros to recall the previous name data when using null arguments, more formatting tools, and the overall simplification of workflow when recalling data associated with names. The documentation has been revisited to reflect this simplified workflow. Examples have been improved for better clarity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/nameauth The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
