I have uploaded version 2.0 of shapepar to cambridge_ctan:incoming/shapepar.tar.gz with contents: shapepar/ shapepar/Canflagshape.def shapepar/shapepar.ltx shapepar/TeXshape.def shapepar/candleshape.def shapepar/proshap.py shapepar/README.shapepar shapepar/shapepar.sty
Please unpack this so the new shapepar directory appears in macros/latex/contrib/supported, and remove the previous macros/latex/contrib/other/misc/shapepar.sty.
Since shapepar.sty continues to be functional under plain TeX, please update whatever symbolic link exists from macros/plain or macros/generic to reflect the new location.
proshap.py doesn't really belong in the macros tree because it is a Python script (by Manuel Gutierrez Algaba). Feel free to relocate it.
Also uploaded is a revised incoming/shapepar.xml to replace help/Catalogue/entries/shapepar.xml, but someone with more experience should check it.
- I probably did not update all the information properly,
- I don't know which distributions carry shapepar.sty
Abstract: The shapepar macro (or `command') is used to typeset paragraphs of a specified shape, where the total size is adjusted automatically so that the entire shape is filled with text, and the shape may include separate pieces and holes. These macros work for both LaTeX and plain TeX.
New with version 2.0: o cutout for fitting shape in surrounding text o Fixed-size shapes o Considerable re-write o Bug fix for disjoint parts o Allow back-spacing between disjoint parts o Typeset manual o More pre-defined shapes
i've installed the files as requested, and deleted the old version.
thanks for the upload.
