30 Jan '11

I am offline, pending an improvement of conditions. This includes tug.ctan.org, www.ctan.org, and az.ctan.org on the interfaces http, ftp, and rsync. In case I do not come back, I would like to thank the people that I have enjoyed working with over the years. I would also like to thank the TeX Users Group, including the board and particularly including Karl, for their sponsorship. And, I would be remiss if I didn't again acknowledge the support provided by Saint Michael's College to me, and to the entire TeX community, in bearing the Internet traffic. Jim Hefferon

Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/nicetext Author: Uwe Lück License: lppl Caption: Minimal markup for simple text (Wikipedia style) and documentation. Description: Nicetext bundle offers “minimal” markup syntax for various simple kinds of text. The code you type should involve little more than is printed, and you still get LaTeX quality. The bundle provides four packages: *'wiki' addresses general texts, marked up in the simple style used on Wikipedia; *'niceverb' is yet another means of documenting LaTeX packages: it offers syntax-aware typesetting of meta-variables (macro arguments) and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section titles etc.; *'fifinddo' aims to parse plain text or (La)TeX files using TeX, and to write the results to an external file. This generalises the philosophy behind docstrip: the package aims at practical application, and is used by *'makedoc', which provides the means to typeset package files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/nicetext (this may take a day to sync).

This should be at your local mirror. Regards, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: mathastext Version number: 1.0 Author's name: Jean-Francois Burnol Summary description: use text font also in math License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The mathastext package propagates the document text font to mathematical mode, for the letters of the Latin alphabet and, optionally, some further ASCII-127 characters. Thus it makes possible (for a document with simple mathematics) to use a quite arbitrary font without worrying too much that it does not have specially designed accompanying math fonts. Also, mathastext provides a simple mechanism in order to use many different choices of (text hence, now, math) fonts in the same document (not that we recommend it!). A final aspect is that mathastext helps produce smaller PDF files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .
