Name of contribution: lstaddons Author's name: Martin Scharrer Package version: lstlinebgrd.dtx- v0.1 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/lstaddons/ Summary description: Add-on packages for listings: autogobble and line background colours License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

This bundle contains a small collections of add-on packages for the 'listings' package. These packages patch internal macros to provide additional features to 'listings'.

The add-ons are so far:

lstlinebgrd

Provides 'linebackground' options for 'lstlisting' which
can be used to color the background of each line of the listing.
The use of conditionals which depend on the line number is supported,
which allows zebra-effects etc.

This package was originally written in response to the question
Creating a zebra effect using listings
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/18969/2975).


lstautogobble

Provides an 'autogobble=true|false' option for 'listing' which will set the standard 'gobble' option to the indention of the first line. This allows people to indent their listings code in the source file without having to use a suitable value for 'gobble' themselves.

This package was originally written in response to the question How to automatically skip leading white spaces in listings (http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/19953/2975)

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