Announcement:
Eplain is a set of TeX macros that expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a style-neutral fashion. The areas addressed by the Eplain macros include: commutative or arrow-theoretic diagrams; verbatim listings; table of contents; indexing; bibliographies with BibTeX; cross-references; double-, triple-, quadruple-columns; hypertext links (pdfTeX, dvipdfm and HyperTeX are supported); and loading (a few) LaTeX packages under plain TeX.

News for this (3.1) release:
General: * Rearranged the distro to comply with TDS. * Distro now includes PDF, HTML and INFO versions of the manual. * Removed etex.tex.
LaTeX packages under Eplain: * When reloading LaTeX packages, warn and skip reloading, instead of giving an error. Suggested by Dan Luecking. * The primitive input is now restored after loading LaTeX packages. * Added more LaTeX defs needed by: the `draft' option to graphic{s,x}.sty; warnings from epstopdf.sty when graphics.sty is not loaded.
Hyperlinks: * Added the `hypertex' driver, and made it the default driver. * Made footnote hyperlinks off by default. * Added the href macro. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * LABEL argument of the hyperlink macros now allow special characters like # and ~ (useful for URLs). Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * Fixed a hyperlink-related bug in equation macros. * Fixed a bug in the `nolinks' driver. * Added writenumberedtocline macro, which is writenumberedtocentry with permuted parameters. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * Hyperlink macros now ignore leading spaces in option lists. * All hyperlink macros now report errors until links are enabled.
Cross-references, TOC and indexing: * Added warnings about multiply defined xref labels. Suggested by Tomas Penicka. * Fixed definexref to (once again) ignore following spaces. * Indexing macros now read TERM, SUBTERM and SEE... arguments verbatim, to allow special characters and catcode changes. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram. * Extended the TOC macros: when given an INT for the type of a TOC entry, they write ocentry{NUM}... to the .toc file. Suggested by Dorai Sitaram.
Programming defs: * Added ifinteger and isinteger macros. * Added For loop which strips off leading spaces from items.
Manual: * Added demo subdir with demo files, and added new chapter `Demo files' to the manual. * Documented ifempty, the extended loop macro, and the new macros. * Many small improvements and additions to the manual.
Other: * Added new olastlinelisting listing hook which omits the last (empty) line of the file. _______________________________________________ Ctan mailing list Ctan@dante.de https://lists.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/ctan
