On Wed, 21 Dec 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the
standalone
package.
License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This major update adds the following new features:
standalone class: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * New 'crop' option as an alternative to 'preview'. * New 'varwidth' option to wrap content in a 'varwidth' environment. * Support for multiple pages using the 'multi' option. * Standalone environments (very similar to PreviewEnvironment's) are supported, including the possibility to ignore extra material (see the 'ignorerest' option). * New dedicated options for TikZ and PSTricks. * Floats (table, figure) are turned automatically to non-floating replacements. See the 'float' option for more details. * Options to allow for easy conversion to raster images by external tools like Image Magick and Ghostscript were added.
standalone package: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * New includestandalone[<options>]{<file>} macro which allows to include standalone files similar to images. * New 'build' option to automatically build standalone output files (like PDFs) which can be included as such in the main document. * New 'mode' setting to switch between using the source code of standalone files or build images from it. * New 'obeyclassoptions' option which will apply most class options to the source code of standalone files when included with includestandalone in source code mode. * New 'group' option to control if input'ed standalone files are wrapped in a group (default) or not (group=false). Files included using includestandalone are always placed in a group.
See the newly redesign manual for further details.
