that upload daemon is testing my excitement threshold:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: boolexpr Author's name: Florent CHERVET Author's email: florent.chervet@free.fr Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/boolexpr/ Summary description: A purely expandable way to evaluate boolean expressions License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
The oolexpr macro evaluate boolean expressions in a purely expandable way. oolexpr{ A OR B AND C } expands to 0 if the logical expression is 1. A, B, C may be :
- numeric expressions such as: x=y, x<>y, x>y or: x<y
- boolean switches: iftrue 0else 1fi
- conditionals: ifcsname whatsitendcsname 0else 1fi
- another oolexpr: oolexpr{ D OR E AND F }
oolexpr may be used with ifcase: ifcaseoolexpr{ A OR B AND C } What to do if true else What to do if false fi
i've installed the new package, and created a catalogue entry for it (as yet, only in the repository). thanks for the upload (i've printed the doc to read in bed tonight...).
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/boolexpr.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/boolexpr/
of course, the catalogue entry won't appear until the processing has run. the only safe assumption is that it will happen overnight.
