CTAN submission -- Books for the Teubner Verlag: bgteubner.cls
by Reinhard Zierke 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file bgteubner-1_07.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please unpack it to CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bgteubner. License is LPPL. It contains a document class for producing books for the publisher Teubner Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany. Form the README: I have programmed the bgteubner.cls document class by order of the Teubner Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany. This has been done to ensure that books of this publisher have a unique layout. The publisher has allowed me to distribute the document class with auxilliary files and documentation freely. Unfortunately, most of the documentation is only available in German. Since the document class is intended to generate a unique layout, many things (layout etc.) are fixed and cannot be altered by the used. If you want to use the document class for another purpose than publishing with the Teubner Verlag, this may arrise unwanted restrictions (For instance, the document class provides only two paper sizes: DIN A-5 and 17cm x 24cm; only two font families are supported: Times and European Computer Modern). The document class needs some additional packages, partly relatively new ones, partly packages that are not installed on most TeX installations. A list of needed packages is contained in usefiles.txt. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed this new package as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bgteubner/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: METATeX
by Jim Hefferon 15 Oct '03

15 Oct '03

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and it should make its way to your local mirror real soon now. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: METATeX Author's name: Ramon Casares Location on CTAN: macros/plain/contrib/metatex Summary description: METATeX communicates TeX and METAFONT License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- METATeX is a set of plain TeX and METAFONT macros that you can use to define both the text and the figures in a single source file. Because METATeX sets up two way communication, from TeX to METAFONT and back from METAFONT to TeX, drawing dimensions can be controlled by TeX and labels can be located by METAFONT. Only standard features of TeX and METAFONT are used, but two runs of TeX and one of METAFONT are needed. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/plain/contrib/metatex/ 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

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: svn Author's name: Richard Lewis Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/svn Summary description: Typeset Subversion keywords License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The svn package lets you typeset (in LaTeX) the value of Subversion keywords. It is approximately an equivalent to the rcs package, but for Subversion rather than CVS. Information about Subversion (a replacement for CVS) is available from <http://subversion.tigris.org/> - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/svn 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 submission -- isodate package
by Reinhard Zierke 14 Oct '03

14 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded isodate-2_11.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please replace the files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/isodate by its contents. License stays LPPL. This version adds support for printing months with Roman numerals, e.g., 14.,X.~2003. >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'. This package supports German (old and new rules, Austrian), US English, French, Danish, Swedish (by Christian Schlauer), and Norwegian (by Svend Tollak Munkejord). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/isodate/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- TrueType with teTeX tutorial
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file ttf-tetex.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please replace the files in CTAN:info/TrueType/ by its contents. This upload contains the tutorial Using TrueType fonts with teTeX and dvips that describes how to use TrueType fonts with teTeX, actually by converting them to Postscript Type 1 fonts. It is not described how to use TrueType fonts directly. The section about updmap has been changed since it has been outdated in the old version. In order to save disk space, the postscript version of the description has been omitted (there is a pdf version that should be enough). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload; I installed the new version as suggested.

CTAN submission -- numprint v1.10
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Oct '03

13 Oct '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file numprint-1_10.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains a new version of the numprint package. Please replace all files in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/numprint by its contents. And ignore the file numprint-1_00.tar.gz that I have uploaded a few days ago. License stays LPPL. >From the README: Print numbers with a separator every three digits and convert numbers given as 12345.6e789 to 12,345,6cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach 12,345.6 imes 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to a given number of digits. If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the number format. Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and after the formatted number. If you prefer to use the old version 0.32 you may use numprint032.sty which will stay fixed. The main new features are automatic language support and a really usable tabular alignment. Change log: - 1.10 2003/10/12 New tabular aligment mechanism (now comparable to dcolumn and rccol) with full support of all numprint formats. Math version npbold which aligns with normal math alphabet. Don't use substr package. Provide pmakebox command that works as makebox but takes a text instead of a length for calculating its width. - 1.00 2003/10/07 Automatically add a plus to numbers without sign. Define shortcut p for umprint on demand. Automatic support for different number formats in different languages (already supported are English and German). Better argument parsing. Automatically don't separate degree sign from number. Customize input characters (decimal sign, exponent character). Define a list of ignored characters. User defined signs exceeding +,-, and pm. Load configuration file if present. Improved calculation of box width for mantissa and exponent. Entirely new implementation (about 90% new code). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested replacing the old one in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/numprint Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
