On Thu, 15 Feb 2007, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
dvdcoll
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements.
dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on.
Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-)
License: LPPL
new in v0.7:
- new feature: listofdvds
dvdcoll.cls now offers the possibility to produce a list of dvds. Therefore dvdcoll.cls will - on-the-fly - generate a database in BibTeX format. A BibTeX run with a specially adapted BibTeX style (dcbib.bst) will produce a sorted-by-key(=label) list, which will be included in another run of (pdf)latex.
- several new command options (DvdSeries: labelbase,labelbaseprefix, labelbasesuffix, labelbaselength) were implemented for automatic generation of labels, e.g. RW0001, RW0002, ...
- some minor improvements
