CTAN submission -- preview-latex 0.7
by Reinhard Zierke 15 Apr '02

15 Apr '02

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.7.tar.gz and preview-0.7.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL. I would recommend installing it in the following way: Put the packed archive preview-latex-0.7.tar.gz under support/preview-latex/ and unpack the README from it to support/preview-latex/README Create a symbolic link from support/preview-latex/preview-latex.tar.gz to preview-latex-0.7.tar.gz so that people can always get the newest version under this name. Unpack preview-0.7.tar.gz in the directory macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ It contains just README-preview, preview.dtx and preview.ins. The reason is that the preview.dtx file can also be used as a standalone LaTeX style for extracting selected elements from a LaTeX source into separate pages of a DVI file. Previous versions of preview-latex can be deleted. Here are the release notes: Release notes for version 0.7 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex is a system for displaying inline images of selected parts of a file in Emacs source buffers. The employed style file preview.sty is independently useful for extraction of selected text elements as images. The package is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, GNU Emacs-21 under the X window system, AUC TeX, a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. This version for the first time also fully supports XEmacs with a version of at least 21.1. Some non-critical issues with the display engine have been uncovered in the course of porting; consult the PROBLEMS file for more information. No versions have been tested to run under the MS Windows operating system. Recent CVS versions of Emacs could possibly be made to run preview-latex there, and you stand a chance of trying XEmacs there, too. Please report your experiences. Release focus have been documentation improvements, staggering performance enhancements, better error handling and new features. For the first time, workable XEmacs support is included. The LaTeX style has gained a load of new options. It is now possible to generate all image files for a document with a single run of GhostScript on a single PostScript file from Dvips. The README file has been changed in order to provide adequate information for preinstalled distributions. In that case, including the separate INSTALL file will not be necessary. User feedback about errors and suggested feature improvements is welcome and heeded. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. If you can spare the time, you can also comment on or rate this project at <URL:http://freshmeat.net/projects/preview-latex>. Additional files can be found at <URL:http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/preview-latex>: * If you don't have texinfo 4.0 or later installed, prebuilt documentation files can be found there. * AUC TeX can be found at several places, but if you want the latest 11.11 (alpha, but stable AFAIK) with no known issues concerning preview-latex, you can find it there as well. * RPMs for preview-latex and AUC TeX are provided for users of RedHat Linux. For the binary RPMs, you will need the preview-latex-common RPM as well as the Emacs-flavor specific RPM. The RPMs require a few packages: * GhostScript 6.51 is included in RH 7.2, but if you use an earlier release it can be downloaded from the RH7.2 updates, <URL:ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i386/>. The current beta of RedHat 7.3 (see below) includes GhostScript 6.53. * Emacs-21.2 is part of the beta release for RedHat 7.3 at <URL:ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/skipjack/en/os/i386/RedHat/R…> unless it has already been superceded by the regular release. I installed this using 'rpm -i --nodeps --force', which worked for me, but since it does not follow the usual emacs + emacs-X11 + emacs-nox, YMMV. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- jurabib package v0.52h
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Apr '02

13 Apr '02

----- Forwarded message from Jens Berger ----- I've just uploaded the file jurabib-052h.zip to ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/ This archive contains an updated version (0.52h) of the jurabib package. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The following files are included: jurabib.ins jurabib.dtx jbgerdoc.tex (German documentation) jbendoc.tex (English documentation) changes.txt Changes since 0.51n: bugfix regarding starred cite-commands, produced fatal error, reported by Jan Reidar Oeverland. small bugfix regarding jbfirstcitepageranges. wrong order of publisher and address in jureco.bst corrected (reported by Klaus Hellermann), all hardcoded : replaced by pubaddr. some improvements on norwegian language file nojbbib.ldf, contributed by Jan Reidar Oeverland. bugfix for indexing macros, reported by Andrea Rossato. bugfix for ibidem, reported by Matthias Steinbrink. command jbfirstcitepageranges introduced, it enables the output of pageranges for first citation of @ARTICLE and @PERIODICAL and adds an `here' before the page given via the optional argument of the cite command: `Author: Title [...], p. 192-225, here: p. 200' jbbookedaftertitle introduced, for a @BOOK-entry with author and editor you are able to switch from `author; editor (ed): title ...' to `author: title, ed. by editor, ...' this command is experimental! Markup for volume improved, it's possible to set a (globally) separation command after volume: aftervolsep. New field `totalpages' for @BOOK type introduced, produces `n pages' at the end of the bibliographic entry. A new macro called ibtotalpagesname can be used to adapt the sequence after the total pages number, but beware of using abbreviations with a period at the end, this can result in unwanted double dots! This feature is experimental too. again minor bugfix regarding formatpages and `pages=format'. jurunsrt.bst reintroduced. small bugfix regarding formatpages and `pages=format', reported by Klaus Hellermann. automatic formatting of second page removed, when using formatpages and `pages=format' (suggested by Benjamin von Engelhardt). bugfix for jblookforgender, reported by Benedikt Welter. markup for volume and indexed authors introduced, both suggested by Otto Janschek. small bugfix regarding `annote' option and `bibformat=tabular'. markup for ISBN and ISSN introduced. some modifications in frjbbib.ldf, contributed by Hélène Fernandez. some modifications in spjbbib.ldf and itjbbib.ldf, contributed by Pablo Rodriguez. some bugfixes for missing author in @COMMENTED. markup for numbered bibliography introduced (ibnumberformat). ibbudcsep added, configurable separation of urldatecomment (suggested by Carsten Mennenoeh), docs adapted. some bugfixes regarding gender handling: you have to use jblookforgender explicitely in the preamble now. again bugfix regarding `bibformat=ibidemalt', fsted and snded macros rewritten. hardcoded dot replaced by ibatsep in incolledformat check for jhuman.bst reintroduced. bugfix for `bibformat=ibidemalt', reported by Matthias Damm. jbshowbibextralabel introduced to show extra label for works from same year in the bibliography. bugfix for `pages=format', wrong `s' removed (reported by Maarten Wisse). bugfix for `hypercite=false'; check for loaded hyperref package removed, caused wrong hyperlinks (reported by Maarten Wisse). par added in jbannoteformat (suggested by Robert Schlicht). ib[e]imfont is using ib[e]fnfont instead of ib[e]lnfont by default (suggested by Robert Schlicht). minor bugfixes, some reported by Robert Schlicht. annote files for bibliography are useable now. These files have to be named like the bibliography database entry with .tex extension and are used if the annote field is empty. With ibAnnotePath you can give a path to your annote files (suggested by Robert Schlicht). dummy year reintroduced, needed for correct label generating. superfluous whitespace in cite removed. natbib emulation commands bug fixed and improved, much better endnotes-support now. natbib emulation commands are able to recognize a second optional argument. tilde removed from jb@deactivate@babel. citefield knows value `url' now. cite command can print out url, if no shortauthor and shorttitle is given. jurabib speaks now italian, first trial. (Thanks to Pablo Rodriguez). small bug inside jurabib.bst fixed, reported by Tilman Finke. bugfix regarding formatpages and `commabeforerest', found by Tilman Finke. again some definitions changed in spjbbib.ldf (thanks to Pablo Rodriguez). formatpages has now two optional arguments, I added one to make the separation before the start page configurable; is influenced by `commabeforerest' by default. new commands added to adapt the separation of formatpages automatically Please replace the current files in the directory CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/supported/jurabib/ ----- End forwarded message ----- Thank you for the upload.
