New on CTAN: multienv

the daemon alerts me to an exciting new package:

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: multienv Author's name: Martin Scharrer Package version: v1.0 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/multienv/ Summary description: multiple environments using a key=value syntax License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

This package provides a multienv environment which allows to easily add multiple environments using a key=value syntax. Macros to define environments using this syntax are also provided.

Example:

The following 'multienv' environment:

egin{multienv}{enva,envb=arg,add code={code before}{code after},
    envc=[oarg]{marg}}
  content
end{multienv}

is basically identical to:

egin{enva}
  egin{envb}{arg}
    code before
    egin{enc}[oarg]{marg}
      content
    end{enc}
    code after
  end{envb}
end{enva}

except that actually the plain form together with explicit groups is used: egingroupenva .. endenvaendgroup.

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new package, and made a provisional entry for it in the catalogue repository.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/multienv.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/multienv/

The catalogue entry will have appeared on the web by tomorrow morning (Cambridge time).
