New on CTAN: luanumbers

Parsa Yazdi submitted the luanumbers package. Version number: 0.5.0 2026-06-10 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Decimal adjustment from a single preamble setup Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `luanumbers` is a LuaLaTeX package for automatic decimal formatting across a document. It allows authors to declare a rounding and display policy once in the preamble, then apply it automatically to ordinary decimal literals in both prose and mathematics. Unlike workflows that require every number to be wrapped in commands such as `\num{...}`, `luanumbers` lets most numbers remain in their natural LaTeX form. This makes it useful for revising long documents where the required precision may change during editing, review, or publication. The package uses Lua-based decimal-string arithmetic, preserves integers by default, and includes safeguards for structural LaTeX content such as labels, references, file names, graphics coordinates, and protected commands or environments. Authors can also exclude selected sections, figures, tables, diagrams, or other objects from automatic processing. For cases where automatic inference is not appropriate, `luanumbers` also provides explicit per-value formatting commands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/luanumbers More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/luanumbers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Karl Berry submitted an update to the latex2e-help-texinfo package. Version: 2026-06-09 License: other-free Summary description: Unofficial reference manual covering LaTeX2e Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------- An update of the unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual is available. The easiest way to view the manual is by visiting: https://latexref.xyz It is also available in TeX distributions and on CTAN at: https://ctan.org/pkg/latex2e-help-texinfo Notable changes in this June 2026 release: Additions: * \labelformat, \Ref, \ref*, \Ref* descriptions added. * \ClassNoteNoLine and \PackageNoteNoLine descriptions added. Changes: * minipage environment description corrected and expanded. * tabbing environment description expanded. * \spacefactor and related commands' description expanded. * Mention the quoting and csquotes packages. * The "easyurl" bs-*.html file now named bs-star.html, to kowtow to Windows. Distribution: * Add the epub output format now supported by makeinfo. * No longer generate the Texinfo XML (.xml) output, since makeinfo has deprecated it. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% There is a separately maintained French translation of this manual: https://ctan.org/pkg/latex2e-help-texinfo-fr There is also a Spanish translation included in the distribution with the English. It has not yet been updated for this release. Suggestions, bug reports, new translations, all discussion welcome. Mailing list details: https://lists.tug.org/latexrefman (in short, email latexrefman(a)tug.org; you need not subscribe to post) Contributions of any kind are very welcome, from small to large. It would be great to see the manual expanded to cover more of the LaTeX2e commands, not to mention expl3 and other current developments, but the current maintainers just cannot devote sufficient time to make that happen. Interested volunteers are needed. Some background and suggestions for writing material for this manual: https://latexref.xyz/dev/writing.html If you'd like to host a mirror of the manual, whether to have a convenient local reference or to offer a service to the community: https://latexref.xyz/dev/mirroring.html Repository and development information: https://latexref.xyz/dev/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/latex2e-help-texinfo The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/info/latex2e-help-texinfo --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Erik Nijenhuis submitted the comment2tex package. Version: 1.0 2026-06-08 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Include annotated source files as LaTeX listings Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The comment2tex package (v1.0) I am pleased to announce the first release of comment2tex. comment2tex typesets a source file that keeps its documentation in special comments: doc-comment lines become ordinary LaTeX, everything else becomes a listing. A Lua converter handles the transformation and two TeX wrappers, one for LaTeX/LuaLaTeX and one for plain TeX, provide \includebash and \includelua to pull annotated Bash or Lua sources into a document. Under LuaLaTeX the conversion runs in process; under pdfLaTeX it uses shell escape or a separate pre-build run. The package is distributed under the LaTeX Project Public License 1.3c.
