what i did on my holidays (uk tex faq)
by Robin Fairbairns 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

i have just installed, on ctan and on the web, a new release of the uk tex faq. changes: 1. this is the first time for ages that i've looked at the faq with an editorial eye: this occupied some of the time on my holiday... 2. yet more rearrangement of the section structure of the faq; in particular introducing new fonts and graphics sections. the fonts section hasn't had much technical work (though there is one new contributed answer in there), but the first three answers in graphics are completely new, and replace the old using postscript graphics. 3. several corrections and enhancements to existing answers, from contributors. 4. a select few additions from my (huge) backlog of questions to be answered. [distribution builders will find a new copy of detached html files in the usual place.] Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- apa.cls v1.3.0
by Reinhard Zierke 30 Aug '02

30 Aug '02

----- Forwarded message from Athanassios Protopapas ----- I have just uploaded to ftp.dante.de the file apa.tar.gz which contains the following: apa/CHANGELOG apa/LICENCE apa/README apa/apa.cls apa/apacls.txt apa/apaenum.txt apa/endfloat.cfg apa/examples.txt This is a major upgrade for apa.cls, the LaTeX2e class for typesetting documents according to the APA manual (5th ed) recommendations for manuscript submission, or in an APA-journal look, or as regular LaTeX documents, with the switch of a class parameter. The current version is 1.3.0 and is datestamped as 2002/08/30. It replaces version 1.23 (which should have been 1.2.3) of apa.cls (and accompanying documentation) currently found at CTAN under tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/other/apa There are several bug fixes and new features in this new version, most notably an upgrade to the latest edition of the APA manual, handling of appendices and long tables, and miscellaneous minor corrections and improvements, all detailed in the CHANGELOG. The licensing terms for this package are as specified by the LaTeX Project Public License (lppl) -- a note to this effect is included in apa.cls and also as a separate LICENCE file. Please replace the contents of the aforementioned directory with the contents of the uploaded archive. Thank you for maintaining CTAN! Thanassi Protopapas ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/other/apa/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

DANTE CTAN snapshot on CD ROM
by Klaus Hoeppner 29 Aug '02

29 Aug '02

As the years before there will be a CTAN snapshot on CD ROM produced by DANTE, the German language users' group, and Lehmanns bookstore in Germany. My time schedule isn't fixed, yet, but expect that I will copy the data from CTAN to my machine about mid of September. So if you are a package author and have an update in your queue, it might be a good idea to do it in the next 2--3 weeks. Regards Klaus

new version of footmisc installed
by Robin Fairbairns 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

i have just installed a new version (v5.0) of footmisc.dtx on ctan this represents a substantial revision of the previous version. 1. new package options 1a: side - put notes into marginpars rather than at the foot of the page; this option isn't terribly satisfactory, but it addresses at least one user's requirements 1b: ragged - set notes ragged right in their box; also a parameter footnotelayout that determines how the notes are to be set 1c: hang - set footnote marker flush with the margin and hang-indent the footnote text according to the value of footnotemargin 2. new commands 2a: setfnsymbol and DefineFNsymbols - these commands permit control of the way fnsymbol-style footnote marks operate (i.e., they allow you to define the sequence of symbols) 2b: mpfootnotemark - like footnotemark, but referring to minipage footnotes if you're inside one 2c: footref - make reference to a footnote label as if a footnotemark (this is a copy of a command in the memoir class, at the suggestion of peter wilson) 3. improvements 3a: i've worked on the documentation somewhat. several things are noticeably better, i think. 3b: the multiple option has been completely re-implemented using a scheme that is compatible with alexander rozhenko's manyfoot package -- i.e., his package and my package will each respect the other's footnote marks when checking for multiple footnote markers.

CTAN submission -- Eukleides (geometry drawing language)
by Reinhard Zierke 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

----- Forwarded message from Christian Obrecht ----- As a mathematics teacher using LaTeX, I needed a tool to draw geometry diagrams in my documents. Since I didn't find anything satisfying I decided two years ago to create Eukleides, a Euclidean geometry drawing language. The Eukleides distribution comes with a compiler which translates Eukleides code into PSTricks code, and a graphical frontend named Xeukleides. It is released under GPL. Various kinds of binaries are available: RPM, Debian, Free BSD, and soon Mac OS X. You'll find more informations in the home page: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/obrecht/ Eukleides is now used by people all over the world, for instance in Japan, see: http://www.mlb.co.jp/linux/science/eukleides/ It has been referenced by the FSF: http://www.gnu.org/directory/Mathematics/Misc/eukleides.html Last year, Dr James Foster, Membership Secretary of the UK TUG, made a presentation about it at the annual general meeting: http://uk.tug.org/UK-TuG/AGM-2001/ Since some TeX users may be interested in Eukleides, I thought you may want to add the Eukleides distribution to CTAN. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for your submission. I installed the new files in CTAN:/tex-archive/support/eukleides/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
