Vernon Merrick Fanning submitted the tikzfins package. Version: 0.3 2026-11-04 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Aquarium fish, invertebrates and aquascapes drawn with TikZ Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tikzfins is a new package that draws aquarium fish and aquascapes with TikZ. It provides 22 fish in side profile, from reef fish such as the clownfish, blue tang, lionfish and a blacktip reef shark to freshwater favourites such as the goldfish, betta, neon tetra and corydoras, along with snails, starfish, a cleaner shrimp, a hermit crab and a moon jellyfish. Each is a flat vector illustration with the markings of the real species. An aquarium environment and a fish bowl environment let you build a complete tank, with sand, gravel, aquasoil, pebbles or crushed coral, and rocks, driftwood, plants, corals and ornaments. There is some nonsense too: any fish can be eaten down to the bone, open its jaws to feed, grow legs, get caught on a hook, blow bubbles, talk, wear a hat or a snorkel, and swim in a school. The package needs only TikZ and works with pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikzfins More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/tikzfins -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Munehiro Yamamoto submitted the pxpgftate package. Version: 1.0 2026-11-04 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Support for PGF/TikZ in the vertical (tate) direction of (u)pLaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pxpgftate makes PGF/TikZ work in the vertical (tate) direction of pLaTeX and upLaTeX with dvipdfmx and dvips. A picture in tate text is rotated like the surrounding text, node text is set in tate, and shadings, patterns, fadings and transparency groups no longer stop with "Incompatible direction list can't be unboxed". remember picture, the current page node and tcolorbox work, too. The package patches PGF instead of replacing its files and works with TeX Live 2012 or later. With a PGF that supports the tate direction itself (proposed in pgf-tikz/pgf#1487), it does nothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/language/japanese/pxpgftate More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/pxpgftate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: linguexx
by CTAN Announcements via ctan-ann 05 Nov '26

05 Nov '26

Gerhard Schaden submitted an update to the linguexx package. Version: 1.5 2026-11-03 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A tagging-aware package for typesetting linguistic examples and glosses Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- linguexx 1.5 repairs sub-example references under the current LaTeX kernel, and adds shared glosses for word-order variants, morpheme alignment, and right-to-left documents and glosses. Fixed in 1.5 * With the LaTeX kernel of October 2026 (the latex-lab update of 2026-10-27), \ref to a sub-example printed "a." instead of "(4a)", and \refrange could not read the number back. Documents that refer to sub-examples should update. * A document loading babelbidi (new in TeX Live 2026) together with linguexx did not build under LuaLaTeX. It does now. linguexx's right-to-left layout needs polyglossia; under babel, a document whose main language is right to left is not supported yet. * Under LuaLaTeX with polyglossia's French, a judgment mark containing ? was printed on top of the first word instead of hanging to its left. * Two PDF/UA failures: \GlossTierLang{2}{} wrote an empty language tag, and a translated sub-example under \GlossTransLang left its language open into the next item. * Under [phantomalign], a gloss word's leading ( now sits under the object word's ( when the object has more marks, as in (⌜. New in 1.5 * \CommonGloss: sub-examples that differ only in word order share one set of gloss lines, set as one aligned table (and read as a table in a tagged PDF). It works in exe lists through \begin{xlist}[CommonGloss], and in beamer a \pause between rows uncovers them one at a time. * \GlossMorphAlign aligns glosses morpheme by morpheme across tiers, with no new markup: ev-ler-de over house-PL-LOC puts -ler over -PL. * \exrefcheck lists what every relative reference (\Next, \Last, ...) and every \refrange resolved to, to catch an example inserted between a \Next and the example it was written for. * Right-to-left text with polyglossia: \GlossRTL and \glscript for right-to-left glosses, and right-to-left documents, whose examples are the mirror image of left-to-right ones, with each gloss running in its example's direction. A complete Hebrew example document ships with the package. LuaLaTeX is recommended. For a tagged document with right-to-left text it is required: under XeLaTeX, every right-to-left paragraph fails PDF/UA, with or without linguexx. Some layout choices in right-to-left glosses are provisional, and the manual says which. * *( (a star against an opening parenthesis, for an obligatory element) is a judgment that is read out as "obligatory". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/linguexx More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/linguexx -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
