CTAN has a new package: verbatimbox
by CTAN Announcements 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

This package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: verbatimbox Author's name: Steven B. Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/verbatimbox Summary description: Store verbatim text in a LaTeX box, for use in places where verbatim environment is not allowed. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you need to include blocks of verbatim text inside figures or tables? The verbatim environment is not compatible with some of these other environments. But now, the verbbox environment allows you to input verbatim text and store it in a LaTeX box. That box then becomes generally usable in all other LaTeX environments, and can be simply recalled. This style therefore allows for a greater use of the verbatim environment within other LaTeX constructs where verbatim was previously inaccessible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/verbatimbox . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/verbatimbox (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

by CTAN Announcements 20 Aug '08

20 Aug '08

On Tue, 19 Aug 2008 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix release of the caption package bundle: - Missing options `within' & `without' added - Bugfix: label...pageref should work always now - Bugfix: subfigure support of caption2 package revised - Bugfix: label, index, and glossary are allowed inside sub-captions which produce a list entry now - Bugfix: figurename=<name> works now when using (n)german.sty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/caption/ .

CTAN update: boxhandler
by CTAN Announcements 18 Aug '08

18 Aug '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: boxhandler Author's name: Steven B. Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler Summary description: Tools for Optimizing Captions, Presentation, and Placement of Tables and Figures License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package facilitates the optimized presentation of LaTeX tables and figures. Not only can boxhandler conveniently lay out table and figure captions with a wide variety of stylistic appearances, but allows for figures and tables to be ``wrapped'' in a manner consistent with many business and government documents. For a document that might appear in different venues with different formatting, boxhandler very powerfully permits the creation of a LaTeX source document that can, with a single-line change in the source code, produce an output that has vastly different layout from the baseline configuration, not only in terms of caption style, but more importantly in terms of the locations where figures, tables and lists appear (or not) in the document. Deferral routines also allow one to keep all figure and table data in a separate source file, while nonetheless producing a document with figures and tables appearing in the desired location in the document. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler .
