CTAN update: asmeconf
by CTAN Announcements 29 Mar '25

29 Mar '25

John H. Lienhard submitted an update to the asmeconf package. Version: 1.41 2025-03-27 License: mit Summary description: A LaTeX template for ASME conference papers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The asmeconf class is a LaTeX template to format conference papers published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This version introduces support for unicode-math, which is now loaded by default with lualatex. The required fonts are in TeX Live. Several legacy options and commands have been eliminated. More of the code has been converted to expl3 from latex2e. A number of minor improvements to the code have been made throughout, particularly to ensure backward compatibility to 2021 formats and packages. Most of the supporting files have been updated. Further details are in the README file. The following packages are no longer loaded: ifthen, iftex, hyphensubst, mathalfa, hologo (now in the .tex file), as well as these packages that were formerly loaded only as fallbacks: hyperxmp, bookmark, and inputenc. The kvoptions package now loads only for backward compatibility if needed. An option to omit the conference headers has been added. PDFA/UA-2 compliance is now possible using LuaLaTeX by: omitting subcaptions and certain language options, using compliant figures, and calling the class option [captionpatch], while using appropriate options to \DocumentMetadata. PDFA/UA-2 compliance is complete according demo.verapdf.org. The Arlington model also validates this package if, additionally, cross-references are omitted from captions. An entirely up-to-date installation is necessary for UA-2 compliance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/asmeconf The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/asmeconf/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Ari Feiglin submitted the pdfToolbox package. Version: 0.1 License: mit Summary description: A plain-pdfTeX toolbox for creating beautiful documents Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pdfToolbox is a toolbox of various “subpackages” intended for programming and creating beautiful plain-pdfTeX documents. It is an amalgamation of the following “subpackages” (in the future there will be an ability to access each one by itself): 1. pdfData - for storing and manipulating data; 2. pdfDstruct - for managing the layout and structure of your document; 3. pdfGraphics - for adding some color and illustrations to your document. pdfToolbox currently only works with pdfTeX. It is not compatible with any form of LaTeX, and currently does not work with XeTeX or LuaTeX (though hopefully LuaTeX support will be added in the future). pdfToolbox is free to use under the MIT license. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pdftoolbox The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/pdftex/plain/pdftoolbox/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: expltools
by CTAN Announcements 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version: 2025-03-27 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## expltools 2025-03-27 ### explcheck v0.8.0 #### Development - Add syntactic analysis. (#66) - Add Lua option `verbose` and a command-line option `--verbose` that prints extra information in human-readable output. (#66) For example, here is the output of processing the files `markdown.tex` and `markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty` of the Markdown package for TeX with TeX Live 2024: ``` $ explcheck --verbose `kpsewhich markdown.tex markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty` ``` ``` Checking 2 files Checking /usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/tex/generic/markdown/markdown.tex OK File size: 103,972 bytes Preprocessing results: - Doesn't seem like a LaTeX style file - Six expl3 parts spanning 97,657 bytes (94% of file): 1. Between 48:14 and 620:11 2. Between 637:14 and 788:4 3. Between 791:14 and 2104:8 4. Between 2108:14 and 3398:4 5. Between 3413:14 and 4210:4 6. Between 4287:14 and 4444:4 Lexical analysis results: - 19,344 TeX tokens in expl3 parts Syntactic analysis results: - 645 top-level expl3 calls spanning all tokens Checking /.../tex/latex/markdown/markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty OK File size: 34,894 bytes Preprocessing results: - Seems like a LaTeX style file - Seven expl3 parts spanning 18,515 bytes (53% of file): 1. Between 47:14 and 349:4 2. Between 382:14 and 431:2 3. Between 446:14 and 512:4 4. Between 523:14 and 564:2 5. Between 865:14 and 931:2 6. Between 969:14 and 1003:2 7. Between 1072:14 and 1328:2 Lexical analysis results: - 3,848 TeX tokens in expl3 parts Syntactic analysis results: - 69 top-level expl3 calls spanning 2,082 tokens (54% of tokens, ~29% of file) Total: 0 errors, 0 warnings in 2 files Aggregate statistics: - 138,866 total bytes - 116,172 expl3 bytes (84% of files) containing 23,192 TeX tokens - 714 top-level expl3 calls spanning 21,426 tokens (92% of tokens, ~77% of files) ``` - Add Lua option `terminal_width` that determines the layout of the human-readable command-line output. (#66) - Stabilize the Lua API of processing steps. (#64) All processing steps are now functions that accept the following arguments: 1. The filename of a processed file 2. The content of the processed file 3. A registry of issues with the processed file (write-only) 4. Intermediate analysis results (read-write) 5. Options (read-only, optional) #### Fixes - During preprocessing, only consider standard delimiters of expl3 parts that are either not indented or not in braces. (discussed in #17, fixed in #66) - During preprocessing, support `\endinput`, `\tex_endinput:D`, and `\file_input_stop:` as standard delimiters of expl3 parts. (#66) - During preprocessing, do not produce warning W101 (Unexpected delimiters) for a `\ProvidesExpl*` after `\ExplSyntaxOn`. (#66) - Prevent newlines from being recognized as catcode 15 (invalid) with Lua 5.2 due to unreliable order of table keys. (#66) #### Continuous integration - Add regression tests for TeX Live 2024. (#66) - Configure Dependabot version updates for GitHub Actions.
