CTAN update: datatool
by CTAN Announcements 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the datatool package. Version: 3.0 2025-03-03 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Tools to load and manipulate data Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Major rewrite. Rollback to v2.32 available if there are any issues. Key features: - new 'math' package options: math=lua and math=l3fp. If not specified, the defaults are now math=lua for LuaLaTeX and math=l3fp otherwise. The older options are still supported, but the newer ones are better and support scientific notation. - parsed formatted numbers and currency have their values embedded within the control sequence variable for easy access without having to reparse. Note that this affects expansion, which may cause a difference from v2.32. For example: \DTLparse\result{\$12,345.67} Original text: \result. Data type: \DTLgetDataTypeName{\DTLdatumtype{\result}}. Numeric value: \DTLdatumvalue{\result}. Currency symbol: \DTLdatumcurrency{\result}. In this case, \result will only expand as far as the original text. To fully expand use \DTLusedatum{\result}. - For databases that contain numeric values that will be used in calculations (including plotting), use \DTLsetup{store-datum} (before creating the database) to embed the numeric information within the database entries. This should improve build time but may impair fast data lookup of unique strings. - New multi-purpose \DTLaction command with key=value interface that may be used instead of the alternative commands with long names. - New sort functions that internally use \seq_sort:Nn for faster sorting. The old sort commands still work but the newer ones are more efficient. Note: the glossaries package uses the datatool-base sorting commands for \printnoidxglossary. If you are using that command you may notice a difference. Make sure you have at least glossaries v4.56 to take advantage of the improved sorting and new localisation support. - Localisation support has been added for orthography (alphabet order for word sorting) and for numeric parsing (currency symbols, number group separator and decimal character). Support for numeric parsing and currency is supplied by datatool-regions which needs to be installed separately. Support for orthography is supplied by the applicable language module, which needs to be installed separately. Currently only datatool-english is available. For example (assuming datatool v3.0, datatool-regions and datatool-english are all installed): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setromanfont{Noto Serif} \usepackage[locales={en-BE,ang-Latn}]{datatool-base} \newcommand{\wordlist}{ýþung, eásteweard, áǽðan, Œthelwald, þorn, æsċ, eaþ-fynde, ðæt, Æðelþryð, aardvark, zebra, ƿēana, Oswine} \begin{document} Currency: \DTLdecimaltocurrency{1234.56}{\result}\result. \DTLenLocaleHook \DTLsortwordlist{\wordlist}{\DTLsortletterhandler} Sorted list: \DTLformatlist{\wordlist}. \DTLangLatnLocaleHook \DTLsortwordlist{\wordlist}{\DTLsortletterhandler} Sorted list: \DTLformatlist{\wordlist}. \DTLresetRegion \DTLresetLanguage Currency: \DTLdecimaltocurrency{1234.56}{\result}\result. \DTLsortwordlist{\wordlist}{\DTLsortletterhandler} Sorted list: \DTLformatlist{\wordlist}. \end{document} The result is: Currency: 1.234,56€. Sorted list: aardvark, Æðelþryð, æsċ, áǽðan, ðæt, eásteweard, eaþ-fynde, Œthelwald, Oswine, þorn, ƿēana, ýþung and zebra. Sorted list: aardvark, áǽðan, eásteweard, eaþ-fynde, Œthelwald, Oswine, ýþung, zebra, ƿēana, ðæt, æsċ, Æðelþryð ⁊ þorn. Currency: ¤1,234.56. Sorted list: aardvark, eaþ-fynde, eásteweard, Oswine, zebra, áǽðan, æsċ, Æðelþryð, ðæt, ýþung, þorn, Œthelwald & ƿēana. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/datatool More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/datatool -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: fontscale
by CTAN Announcements 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

Oliver Beery submitted an update to the fontscale package. Version: 4.0.0 2025-03-02 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A flexible interface for setting font sizes Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## [v4.0.0] - 2025-03-02 ### Added - `fontscale` version 3 can be used by declaring `\usepackage{fontscale}[=v3]`. - `fontscale-v3.sty` ### Removed - The package keys and commands that take a dimen or skip expression as a value or argument no longer append a default unit of `pt` and remove extra trailing tokens, if any. (This feature had relied on exploiting `expl3` implementation details.) ### Changed - `fontscale` is no longer compatible with the `scalefnt` package. - The keys `<font size command>` are now shortcuts for the keys `<font size command>/size`. (The previous functionality no longer makes syntactic sense given the removal of default unit support.) - Renamed the document commands using the recommended all-lowercase convention: - `\CurrentFontStep` to `\currentfontstep` - `\CurrentFontScale` to `\currentfontscale` - `\CurrentFontSize` to `\currentfontsize` - `\CurrentFontBaselineskip` to `\currentfontbaselineskip` - `\SetFontStep` to `\setfontstep` - `\SetFontScale` to `\setfontscale` - `\SetFontSize` to `\setfontsize` - `\ScaleFont` to `\scalefont` - `\SetFontSizeBaselineskip` to `\setfontsizebaselineskip` - `\SetFontBaselineskip` to `\setfontbaselineskip` - `\PrintFontSizeParameters` to `\printfontsizeparameters` - `\PrintAllFontSizeParameters` to `\printallfontsizeparameters` - `\PrintSampleText` to `\printsampletext` - `\PrintFontSizeCommand` to `\printfontsizecommand` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontscale More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontscale -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
