by Reinhard Zierke 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

----- Forwarded message from Jens Berger ----- I've just uploaded the file jurabib-051n.zip to ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming. This archive contains an updated version (0.51n) of the jurabib package. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The following files are included: jurabib.ins jurabib.dtx jbgerdoc.tex (German documentation) jbendoc.tex (English documentation) changes.txt Changes since 0.5e: Bugfix regarding `bibformat=ibidemalt' and usage of ypearea from the KOMA-bundle after loading jurabib.sty, contributed by Tilman Finke. more spaces added for better line breaking, regarding the well known BibTeX bug. First trial for spanish support. Special thanks to Pablo Rodriguez for first translation. Bug reports welcome. new option `superscriptedition=year' places the superscripted edition number before the year. `superscriptedition=bib' is also available with `superscriptedition=address'. These options are working only for jurabib.bst and jureco.bst! There are no plans to implement them for jox.bst or jchic.bst. juratitle field in jurabib.bst was missing, reintroduced; new options `superscriptedition=multiple' (superscripted edition number instead of title for same work with different edition numbers) and `superscriptedition=kerning' (replaces jbsseditionkerned) introduced. ibpagename and ibpagesname introduced for separate formatting of pages in the bibliography. year after label (`}% <year>') removed in jurabib.bst. new field `updated' for @commented introduced, `suggested' by Holger Pollmann in dctt. @phdthesis function rewritten. `format.mthesis' and `format.juradiss.thesis' removed. Now only one generic function `format.thesis'. Bug reported by Marco Kuhlmann. German documentation extracted to jbgerdoc.tex. `latex jurabib.dtx' will no longer produce any documentation. TEXTEDITION FIELD REMOVED, same behavior is available by enclosing the edition in braces. new option `hypercite=false' for disabling automated hyperlinks when using hyperref package, suggested by Tilman Finke. mixed series and title in FUNCTION {format.btitle.vol} in jurabib.bst and jureco.bst corrected. opage and pageadd can be used in pages field, Bug reported by Sönke Schaal (<s.schaal(a)freenet.de>), solution suggested by Stefan Ulrich. changed version numbering. Ibidem/Idem-bugfix. Bug reported by Sönke Schaal (<s.schaal(a)freenet.de>) If German, `ibidem' and `idem' are used together, it appears `A.a.O.Ders.' because of ``hardcoded'' gender macros for German in dejbbib.ldf. bugfix regarding `superscriptedition=bib', the normal edition number was not suppressed for the first entry in the bibliography, bug reported by Andrea Heilmann (<andrea.heilmann(a)t-online.de>). jurabib.sty now removes `%' at the line end similar to hyperref.sty, (special thanks to Stefan Ulrich!). new option `citetoend' introduced, converts cite's (= non-footcite's) into endnotes (endnotes.sty has to be loaded). check for chapter numbers > 1 removed (options `citefull=chapter' and `opcit=chapter'). wrong warnings about ambiguous citations while using `authorformat=year' removed (bug reported by Anneke Emse). french and dutch translations for translator stuff inserted, contributed by Hélène Fernandez (french) and Maarten Wisse (dutch). once again iburlfont command rewritten, hyperlinks were missing. new url-interface, contributed by Stefan Ulrich, solves problems with url.sty and hyperref.sty. `authorformat=indexed' is working for obibliography now (suggested by Thomas Rahlf). Thanks to Stefan Ulrich. ibidem options are able to make a difference between same/different pages for subsequent citations by samepageibidemname or samepageibidemmidname and diffpageibidemname or diffpageibidemmidname. endnotes-support: non-footcite-commands are no longer automatically converted into endnotes. formatarticlepages[<separator>]{<page left delim>}{<page right delim>} changed to formatpages[<separator>]{<typelist>}{<page left delim>}{<page right delim>} The <typelist> allows you to specify any publication type for which you want to print out a starting page. new command jbdotafterendnote places dot after endnote, analogous jbdotafterbibentry. improved endotes.sty support -- emulated natbib cite commands are translated into endnotes too. new option `ibidem=name&title&auto' (suggested by Wolfgang Lange <wfl(a)ipg.mpg.de>). built-in footmisc's `multiple'-option (comma between subsequent footnotes) (suggested by Wolfgang Lange <wfl(a)ipg.mpg.de>). `format.title' replaced by `format.artperiodincoll.title' for @inproceedings (suggested by Olaf Meltzer). special macros for gender-dependent i(bi)dem introduced -- separately for bibliography (long) and citations (shorter). some internal corrections and bug fixes. (regarding the footnote period problem). a set of natbib emulating citation commands (without starred variants and not so nifty) introduced. par's are possible inside the annote field. `opcit' no longer switches `authorformat=year' automatically, the shorttitle will be used now to avoid ambiguous citations. `gender'-field for German users of the `idem' option added. This field can be used with six possible values:`sf'= singular female, `pf'= plural male, `sm'=singular male,`pf'=plural male, `sn'= singular neutrum and `pn'=plural neutrum. new command citetitleonly{<key>} added, this command doesn't print the author. undocumented option `footnotes=marginal' is working now also when using endnotes.sty. `idem' is working properly for multiple keys (e.g. footcite{<key1>,>key2>} will produce `Author, title; idem, other title'). `annote' option added. Enables output of the annote field, For commented bibliographies. `et al.'-generating mechanism for full names (non-labels) in jurabib.bst and jureco.bst is now the same as for the label (more than three authors/editors ==> et al.) jurabib should work well now with endnotes.sty. You can use all cite commands like before, the simple loading of endnotes.sty will print all your citations as endnotes (well, you have to place heendnotes appropriate yourself). Any `howcited'-option can be used with any other (except of `howcited=all'). `howcited=compare' places the remark only, if the shorttitle was used at least one time. Missing documentation of some v0.5e features (new entry fields) added. no longer LaTeX error message, if `authorformat=indexed' is used without using makeidx.sty. You will get a warning from jurabib instead. babel option `ngerman' is handled correct now (Thanks to Robert Schlicht). `idem' is working now inside a bibliographic entry (i. e. if the editor `edited a collection of articles and he himself wrote an article in it'). small bug in definition of ibimfont and edfont removed. New BibTeX-style for the humanities: jox.bst (beta stage) This style replaces jhuman.bst and does oxford like formatting. It is available only (as long as it is in beta stage) at http://www.jurabib.org Please replace the current files in the directory CTAN:/macros/latex/contrib/supported/jurabib/ And please send an announcement to ctt.

The editor allows you to write structured documents via a wysiwyg (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) and user friendly interface. New styles may be created by the user. The program implements high-quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts, which help you to produce professionally looking documents. The high typesetting quality still goes through for automatically generated formulas, which makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra systems. TeXmacs also supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, so that you may customize the interface and write your own extensions to the editor. TeXmacs currently runs on PC's and PPC's under Gnu/linux (a >200MHz processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and on sun computers. Converters exist for TeX/LaTeX and they are under development for Html/Mathml/Xml. In the future, TeXmacs is planned to evoluate towards a complete scientific office suite, with spreadsheet capacities, a technical drawing editor and a presentation mode.

10 Dec '01

i've just installed a new version (v2.5.8) of the uk faq on ctan (help/uk-tex-faq), and on the faq web page (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq). included is the answer to a question whose absence has been the subject of a lot of ridicule of the hapless faqer of cambridge: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=euro in addition, i've installed a small package of my own, which is mentioned by a question in the new version of the faq. this package, macros/latex/contrib/other/misc/bold-extra.sty, makes nfss tables for using the fonts in fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold (bold cmtt and cmcsc fonts). those creating tex distributions are welcome to copies of my experimental static versions of the faq pages: please contact me direct.

An important feature is its preview continuous mode, where it watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX etc whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can have an updated display whenever the source files change. The current version (3.04) has many improvements over previous versions. Apart from bug fixes: 1. The method for determining how many times to rerun latex is now correct in all normal situations. 2. The determination of the dependencies is greatly improved. 3. Pdf files can be made. 4. Improvements to correspond to current versions of LaTeX and associated software have been made. 5. License is GPL (with agreement of previous authors). Previous version (v. 2) is in a subdirectory. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN submission -- preview-latex-0.5.8.2.tar.gz
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.5.8.2.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL, and I would recommend to install it in the following way: Put the packed archive under support/preview-latex/ but unpack the README to support/preview-latex and README-preview and preview.dtx to macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ The reason is that the preview.dtx file can also be used as a standalone LaTeX style for extracting selected elements from a LaTeX source into separate pages of a DVI file. Here are the release notes: Release notes for version 0.5.8.2 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex is a system for displaying inline images of selected parts of a file in Emacs source buffers. It is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, GNU Emacs-21.1, Auc-TeX, a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. XEmacs support is not yet operative, and contributions would be welcome. Due to missing image support of Emacs-21.1 under Microsoft Windows, this platform is not usable at the current point of time, either. Release focus are mostly user interface improvements. Notable are changes in the build process, changes in cursor display handling, preservation of indentation of previews, improvements in process handling, better configurability. User feedback about errors and suggested feature improvements is welcome and heeded. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission. I installed the the new version in CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ replacing the old one and installed the preview LaTeX package in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
