Re: dante.ctan.org upload: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

On Tue, 14 Jul 2009, Josef Kleber submitted an update of the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LATEX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL New in v1.4a: - Bugfix: (pdf}latex crashed with PDF text annoatations (pdfcomment and pdfmargincomment) in tabulars reported by: Thomas König fixed by: Ulrike Fischer, Herbert Voß ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

CTAN Update: xepersian
by CTAN Announcements 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

On Tue, 14 Jul 2009, Vafa Khalighi submitted an update to the xepersian package for persian typesetting in XeLaTeX. Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/xepersian/ Summary description: Persian for LaTeX over XeTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This the new release of the xepersian package (v1.0.1). It fixes all the know bugs and is written from scratch with improved macros. Unfortunately there is no documentation due to my illness but feel free to ask your questions at google farsilatex group at http://groups.google.com/group/farsilatex/?hl=fa or XeTeX mailing list. There are some examples that will help you understand how the package works. Before looking at xepersian examples make sure you look at bidi examples as xepersian depends on the bidi package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/xetex/latex/xepersian/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=xepersian (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 .

CTAN Updated: bidi
by CTAN Announcements 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

On Tue, 14 Jul 2009, Vafa Khalighi, having taken over maintainance, submitted an update to the bidi package. Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/bidi/ Summary description: Support for bidirectional typesetting with XeLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the new release of the bidi package (v1.0.1). This version has been tested by me and other people and so contains a minimum number of bugs (or known better as XeTeX limitations). In this version we have fixed all the known bugs and support for lots of LaTeX packages is added. There is no real documentation at the moment due to my illness but if you have any question, then please ask it on the XeTeX mailing list. There are heaps of examples that will help you understand how this new version works and what features are added. Unfortunately it proved almost impossible to support hyperref and color because of XeTeX limitations. For color support, you are encouraged to use xecolour package instead using ordinary color and xcolor packages. Also please note that when you use longtable package with bidi package, in RTL mode, your tables will not break when a page is finished and again this is due to XeTeX limitation. Please note that you always should load bidi package as your last package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/xetex/latex/bidi/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=bidi (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 .
