On Tue, 23 Mar 2010 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the
nicetext
package.
Summary description: `makedoc' + `niceverb' - an alternative documentation system for LaTeX License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The `nicetext' bundle offers minimal markup syntax for restricted kinds of text: There should not be much more characters typed than printed! -- mainly: quick documentation of (smaller) LaTeX packages -- achieved by active characters and preprocessing similar to `docstrip' (opposite direction however, incl. some txt to TeX).
New with release 0.3:
* `substr.tex' should typeset LaTeX quality documentation from next available (on your install) substry.sty's ASCII/UTF-8 input (works with me) -- first application of `niceverb''s auto mode and `makedoc.sty' to a third-party package!
* `makedoc' simplified: single
MakeInputJobDoc[<in>][<out>]{<header>}{<parser>}
generates a documentation file from the package file and typesets it immediately (kind of DocInput equivalent) -- see `Using makedoc the simplest way' in `makedoc.pdf'
* `|...|' from `niceverb' typesets an inline frame box for setting-off a command description, modifiable by hooks (e.g., colorbox)
* `niceverb' syntax works in page headers, PDF bookmarks, and `hyperref' labels and otherwise much better than before, dis-/re-enableable featurewise as well as altogether
* documentation extended, lists of script commands
* configurable txt to TeX functionality or other replacements like ASCII-arrows to arrow commands or inserting index entries (setting up expandable replacement chains slightly more comfortable) -- try with templates and dialogue
* `fifinddo' works with character codes > 127, improved setup
* `makedoc' requires the `moreverb' package.
