the daemon alerts me to an exciting new package:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: multienv Author's name: Martin Scharrer Package version: v1.0 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/multienv/ Summary description: multiple environments using a key=value syntax License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
This package provides a multienv environment which allows to easily add multiple environments using a key=value syntax. Macros to define environments using this syntax are also provided.
Example:
The following 'multienv' environment:
egin{multienv}{enva,envb=arg,add code={code before}{code after}, envc=[oarg]{marg}} content end{multienv}
is basically identical to:
egin{enva} egin{envb}{arg} code before egin{enc}[oarg]{marg} content end{enc} code after end{envb} end{enva}
except that actually the plain form together with explicit groups is used: egingroupenva .. endenvaendgroup.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new package, and made a provisional entry for it in the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/multienv.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/multienv/
The catalogue entry will have appeared on the web by tomorrow morning (Cambridge time).
