CTAN submission -- xl2latex
by Reinhard Zierke 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

----- Forwarded message from Ronny Buchmann ----- I've uploaded xl2latex in dante.ctan.org:/incoming/xl2latex package summary ---------------- xl2latex Convert Excel (97 and above) tables to LaTeX tabulars This Excel to LaTeX converter exports the current selection as a LaTeX file which can be included via input in your actual document. It supports multicolumn cells (only horizontal), borders, font styles (bold, italic), colored cells and text, LaTeX math in cells and cells with wrapped text. It has a nothing to do with Excel-To-LaTeX, despite some ideas and features. --------------- this should go into CTAN:tex-archive/support/xl2latex license: gpl ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission, I installed it as suggested. Unfortunately, the above mentioned Excel-To-LaTeX is packaged in a zip file CTAN:tex-archive/support/excel2latex/xl2latex.zip even though the file in that archive is called Excel2Latex.bas again. I'm sorry about this confusion of names but I am not allowed to rename the older archive due to several reasons. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- new version of float package
by Reinhard Zierke 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

----- Forwarded message from Anselm Lingnau ----- I've uploaded a new version (1.3a) of the float package to ftp.dante.de:/incoming. This should replace the existing version in tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported. It is still a LPPL package. This updates the float package in a number of respects, including - Introduces new `plaintop' float style - Introduces ` estylefloat*' command which will restyle floats but leave their caption processing alone - List-of-float starting code factored out (for the benefit of packages like KOMA-Script, suggested by Markus Kohm) - Adds float@addtolists command to put something (such as extra vertical space at chapter boundaries) into all active list-of-float files - End-of-float handling simplified according to H.A. Sommerfeldt ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission, I installed it as suggested in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/float replacing the old version.

CTAN submission -- KOMA-Script update
by Reinhard Zierke 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

----- Forwarded message from Markus Kohm ----- Summary description: KOMA-Script is a bundle of classes and packages for LaTeX Suggested CTAN directory: Please remove the contents of tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/koma-script but not the contrib subdirectory and extract the koma-script.tar.gz into tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/koma-script Short text for announcement: Lots of changes where done. There a many new features, a new package (scrpage2), better compatibility with packages like longtable and float, and a new written german scrguide. Because of lack in time and translation staff the english scrguide is still the old one. License: lppl Greetings Markus ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version as suggested. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

minor bugfix and rename -- dashbox and bitfield
by Robin Fairbairns 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

the package formerly known as dashdbox was found to suffer a minor infelicity. in the course of correcting the bug, the author (Reuben Thomas) decided to change the name of the package to dashbox. i have therefore deleted the previous macros/latex/contrib/supported/dashdbox, and installed the new version of the package in macros/latex/contrib/supported/dashbox the dashbox package does fbox(etc)-like things, with dashed borders the bitfield package (macros/latex/contrib/supported/bitfield) has also been upgraded, since it uses dashbox. the bitfield package draws bitfield diagrams.

package upgrade: bundledoc
by Jim Hefferon 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

An upgrade of the bundledoc package has been installed on CTAN. It should have made its way to your favorite mirror by now. Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org =========================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: bundledoc Name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: support/bundledoc Summary description: Bundle all the files needed to build a LaTeX document License type: lppl Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bundledoc is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles together all the classes, packages, and files needed to build a given LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc. As an added bonus, this distribution includes a small script called arlatex. arlatex is a LaTeX-specific archiving program that combines a bunch of files into a single .tex file. When the .tex file is run through latex, all of the original files are recreated and the LaTeX document is built. bundledoc can be easily configured to use arlatex as its archiver in place of tar, zip, etc. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
