New on CTAN: statementsp

03 Apr '26

Rirai Ikeda submitted the statementsp package. Version number: 1.0 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Theorem and proposition boxes with preview and recall functions Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce the release of a new package: statementsp. statementsp is a LaTeX package that provides a convenient way to create highly customizable theorem and proposition boxes using the tcolorbox package. The standout feature of this package is its automatic "Preview" and "Recall" mechanism. A single command (\refcallsp) allows authors to display a statement box anywhere in the document. The package automatically detects whether the command is placed before or after the main definition, generating a "Preview" or "Recall" box respectively, complete with hyperlinks jumping directly back to the original definition. Key Features: * Intuitive definition of custom environments (prefix, display name, box color, title color). * Strictly sequential counters within a section across all statement types (e.g., Definition 1.1, Theorem 1.2, Lemma 1.3) to prevent numbering confusion. * Support for unnumbered environments via the starred version (statementsp*). * Dedicated referencing commands (\refsp and \refnamesp) for seamless citation of numbers and specific statement names. License: The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) version 1.3c or later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/statementsp More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/statementsp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

(#628, #630) This prevents pure comment lines from being treated as extra blank lines for the purpose of distinguishing between inter-block and paragraph separators. - Strip trailing spaces from table captions with attributes. (reported by @lostenderman in #638, fixed in #639) - Fix acronyms breaking various elements. (reported in #625, fixed by @lostenderman in #626) ### Continuous integration This version of the Markdown package has made the following changes to our continuous integration: - Bump `crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages` from 4 to 5. (added by @dependabot in #632) - Bump `actions/upload-artifact` from 6 to 7. (added by @dependabot in #633) - Bump `docker/login-action` from 3 to 4. (added by @dependabot in #634) - Migrate from deprecated `TeX-Live/setup-texlive-action@v3` to `zauguin/install-texlive@v4`. (#636, 3c4c6bb0) - Test the package on both TeX Live 2025 and 2026. (#631, ff23b28..81928d7, 1a98fa99..c7ef926a) ### Miscellaneous This version of the Markdown package has made the following other changes: - Replace `mtxrun --luatex --generate` with `context --generate --luatex` in the user manual and `Dockerfile`. (@hanshagen and @gucci-on-fleek in #637) ## 3.14.0 (2026-02-26) ### Enhancements This version of the Markdown package has made the following new enhancements: - Support the new prepending (`^=`) and appending (`$=`) operators for renderers and renderer prototypes. (#232, #617) - Support the prepending and appending operators (`^=`, `+=`, and `$=`) for comma-list options like `extensions`. (#232, #621) - In theme `witiko/diagrams`, add parameter `command` for Mermaid diagrams. (#616, #622) For example, you can use different icon packs as follows: ```` tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage[import=witiko/diagrams@v2]{markdown} \begin{document} \begin{markdown} ``` mermaid {command = "mmdc --iconPacks '@iconify-json/logos'"} architecture-beta group api(logos:aws-lambda)[API] service db(logos:aws-aurora)[Database] in api service disk1(logos:aws-glacier)[Storage] in api service disk2(logos:aws-s3)[Storage] in api service server(logos:aws-ec2)[Server] in api db:L -- R:server disk1:T -- B:server disk2:T -- B:db ``` \end{markdown} \end{document} ```` - Recognize acronyms, initialisms, and other all-caps sequences. (suggested by @witiko, @michal-h21, and @TeXhackse in #615 and at [matrix.org][matrix-615], implemented in #623 and e2747530..3e14fa11) For example, you can automatically format acronyms in your LaTeX documents as follows: ``` tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage[plain]{markdown} \markdownSetup { % Format the following words as acronyms. acronyms = {HTML, YAML}, % We can also easily fill this list from e.g. YAML and other external sources. renderers = { % Format acronyms as small caps. acronym = \textsc{\MakeLowercase{#1}}, }, } \begin{document} \begin{markdown} HTML and YAML are two staples of modern tooling that often get mentioned in the same breath, even though they live in very different layers of the stack. \end{markdown} \end{document} ``` The default definitions for LaTeX also provide support for explicit markup for acronyms, as well as an integration with the `glossaries` package: ``` tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{microtype, hyperref} \usepackage[acronym]{glossaries} \makeglossaries \newacronym{html}{HTML}{hypertext markup language} \newacronym{yaml}{YAML}{yet another markup language} \usepackage[bracketed_spans]{markdown} \begin{document} \begin{markdown} HTML and YAML are two staples of modern tooling that often get mentioned in the same breath, even though they live in very different layers of the stack. You may also use explicit markup: [HTML]{.acronym}. This works even if the acronym hasn't been registered with the glossaries package: [JSON]{.acronym}. \end{markdown} \printacronyms \end{document} ``` Compile the above example document `⟨filename⟩.tex` with the following commands: ``` lualatex ⟨filename⟩.tex makeglossaries ⟨filename⟩ lualatex ⟨filename⟩.tex ``` If you are not using the default definitions for LaTeX (for example, when loading the package with the `plain` or `noDefaults` options), you can import the `glossaries` acronyms manually as follows: ``` tex \markdownSetup { import = witiko/glossaries@v1, snippet = witiko/glossaries/import-acronyms, } ``` - Allow absolute snippet names in `\markdownSetupSnippet { ... }` and `\markdownSetup { snippet = ... }`. (#623) Absolute snippet names are prefixed with a slash (`/`). The leading slash is stripped, and the remaining name is used as-is. In contrast, relative snippet names are prefixed with the name of the currently processed theme, if any. For consistency, a leading slash may also be used in `\markdownSetup { theme = ... }` and `{ import = ... }`. Theme names, however, are currently always absolute, so the slash is only a syntactic normalization and has no semantic effect. For example, the following code also imports the `glossaries` acronyms: ``` tex \markdownSetup { import = /witiko/glossaries@v1, snippet = /witiko/glossaries/import-acronyms, } ``` The slash before `witiko/glossaries/import-acronyms` ensures that the correct snippet is loaded even when used from within another theme. Without the leading slash, the snippet name would instead be resolved as `⟨current theme name⟩/witiko/glossaries/import-acronyms`. By contrast, the slash before `witiko/glossaries@v1` is optional and provided only for consistency. Therefore, the following code would have the same effect: ``` tex \markdownSetup { import = witiko/glossaries@v1, snippet = /witiko/glossaries/import-acronyms, } ``` [matrix-615]: https://matrix.to/#/!pznomuvubVyxElflTe:matrix.org/$PSrg2dlpGUMastZzUGOpm08… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/markdown The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/markdown/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Version: 1.0.0 2026-03-24 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: An automated file & block management system for large-scale LaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce the release of SimpleSystemTeX, a new LaTeX3 package designed to streamline the typesetting of large-scale documents. SimpleSystemTeX focuses on maximizing the separation of content and document structure. By utilizing an automated subfile-based section management system, it significantly reduces the maintenance burden for authors working on complex projects like books or theses. Its main features include: * Automated file importing and Table of Contents generation. * A robust “Block” system for unified management of mathematical environments (theorems, definitions, proofs, etc.). * Built-in dynamic cross-referencing without the need for manual anchor management. * Quick generation of categorized block indexes. * A powerful interface to deeply customize the styles of headings, links, blocks, and indexes using dynamic arguments and LaTeX3 conditionals. I hope this package proves useful to the TeX community, especially for those looking to focus purely on writing while the package handles the structural heavy lifting. Feedback and contributions are very welcome on the project’s GitHub repository. Best regards, JokerXin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/simplesystemtex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/simplesystemtex/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
