Tom Bronte submitted the graphicnovel package. Version: 0.5 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A semantic LaTeX class for graphic-novel and comic scripts Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A semantic LaTeX class for graphic-novel and comic scripts. GraphicNovel is a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that uses the working language of comics: stories, eras, pages, panels, locations, shots, action, dialogue, captions, and sound effects and an authoritative reference bible, to help writers and artists collaborate on long-form projects. It doesn't just format the author's script. It cross-references with the bible so that every panel, page, object, character and location are defined. Collaboration between artists and writers (not to mention the creative in the film and TV industry) need the consistency. What it provides: * A reference bible for characters, places, objects, and continuity notes. * Era-specific appearances, named expressions, and behavioural tells. * Stories, vignettes, comic pages, panels, and double-page spreads. * Page layouts expressed as panel counts by row, such as \pageLayout{2,1,2}. * Automated page and panel counters so you (well, I) don't have to worry. * Separate directions for background (\location), composition (\shot), and foreground activity (\action). * Dialogue, balloon-position notes, captions, sound effects, and production notes. * A compact option for proofreading without forced page breaks. GraphicNovel produces a script and reference material for collaborators. It does not draw panels or generate finished comic artwork, but at least everyone will be singing from the same hymn sheet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/graphicnovel More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/graphicnovel -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Chu Yanshuo submitted an update to the hithesis package. Version: 3.1e 2026-10-10 License: lppl1.3a Summary description: Harbin Institute of Technology Thesis Template Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # hithesis Release Notes (English) This document lists all changes in hithesis from v2.0.11 through v3.1e. ## v3.1e - Fix the Latin Modern Mono fallback missing the \cs{IfFontExistsTF} guard, which caused CI documentation builds to fail. (2026/04/06) - Change the default behavior of \texttt{bibeditor} to match \texttt{bibauthor}, since the latter is already controlled by the class file and is no longer a what-you-see-is-what-you-get output. (2026/01/28) - Set the alignment of bibliography labels. (2026/01/17) - Add a thesis/design checkbox above the undergraduate inner-cover text; since hithesis does not yet support the graduation design, the checkmark is hard-coded on "graduation thesis". (2026/01/08) - Add an option for whether the English inner-cover title automatically adjusts its font size based on title length. (2026/01/07) - The English inner-cover title defaults to size No. 2 and can auto-adjust through the \texttt{etitleauto} option. (2026/01/07) - Set whether bibliography author names are fully uppercased and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/07) - \texttt{schrb}: implement figure, table, and equation numbering for the Harbin campus undergraduate proposal as "图 X-X", "表 X-X", and "公式 (X-X)". (2026/01/05) - \texttt{schrb}: add a page style for scanned PDFs that shows only the page number. (2026/01/04) - \texttt{schrb}: add a starred variant to control whether page numbers are shown on scanned PDF pages. (2026/01/04) - Add a starred variant to control whether page numbers are shown on scanned PDF pages. (2026/01/04) - Add a pair of empty braces to the environment above. (2026/01/03) - Replace \cs{@,} with \texttt{,}. (2026/01/03) - Control whether bibliography author names are fully uppercased and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/03) - Change the output to \texttt{\{\{, 等/et al\}\{, 作者1\}...\{, 作者-1\}\}} so the class file can control author capitalization and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/03) - Set whether bibliography author names are fully uppercased and the maximum number of authors shown. (2026/01/03) - Fix the defense resolution only being insertable on the first page, and adjust the indentation of the related insertion code. (2025/12/09) - \texttt{FullRight} introduced too many bugs, so drop it (a \texttt{nolinebreak} was added to the \texttt{.bst} file instead). (2025/10/17) - Use \texttt{nolinebreak} so periods no longer appear at the beginning of a line (\texttt{FullRight} introduced too many bugs, so drop it). (2025/10/17) - Revise the "学位" (Degree) field on the Harbin campus master proposal cover. (2025/09/21) - Revise the "学院（部）" and "学科/学位专业类别" fields on the Harbin campus master proposal cover.

CTAN update: numodel-bundle
by CTAN Announcements 09 Oct '26

09 Oct '26

Paul Zuurbier submitted an update to the numodel-bundle package. Version: 0.10.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Numerical physics models with Forrester diagrams and auto-sized plots Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- numodel-bundle v0.10.0 Write a numerical model once, and get everything a physics lesson needs from it. numodel lets you declare a model in LaTeX -- its variables with start values and siunitx units, its rules, a stop condition -- and does the rest. It computes the model (Euler integration in Lua) and typesets it in every form teaching material uses: the text model in the notation pupils know from their syllabus (English, or Dutch Coachtaal, with further languages as drop-in files), the Forrester stock-and-flow diagram, laid out automatically from the rules, and graphs of the computed results. Because all of these come from one declaration, the text, the diagram and the graphs can never disagree; change a start value and every view follows. The graphs come from numodel-plot, which is also usable on its own. It sizes each plot to a whole number of tick intervals, writes axis labels in the IEEE or ISO 80000-1 style, folds the power of ten of a scaled axis into an SI prefix -- "s (km)" rather than "s (10^3 m)" -- and places the labels sensibly for one-, two- and four-quadrant plots. New: numodel-coach -- from the text straight into Coach ------------------------------------------------------- In many Dutch secondary schools, pupils build and run their models in CMA Coach 7. Until now that meant retyping the model from the textbook, where the formatted table of a PDF does not copy. The new module numodel-coach writes the model as a Coach 7 activity: \coachmodel{free-fall} % writes free-fall.cma7 Pupils open the file and find exactly the model of the text, ready to run. This is more than a copy of the rules: * The rules are translated into Coachtaal with care for where the two languages differ. Coach gives unary minus and powers the same priority, so -x^2 is written -(x^2); comparisons joined by AND/OR get the parentheses Coachtaal requires; numbers get a decimal comma and function arguments the semicolon separator; names Coachtaal does not allow bare are put in brackets. Whatever cannot be translated exactly is reported as a warning, never silently changed. * Units become comments on the initial values, and every variable appears in Coach's variable list with its unit -- and with the axis range of its graph in the document, so a new graph in Coach looks like the one in the text. * An instruction text is written once in LaTeX, typeset in the PDF where you want it and shown in Coach's instruction window as well: paragraphs, lists, emphasis, and inline formulas with sub- and superscripts all carry over. * The iteration count follows numodel's maxiter setting; the file can also be embedded in the PDF. CMA does not document the .cma7 format. numodel-coach was developed against files saved by Coach 7.0 and tested with Coach 7 on Chromebooks; reports from other Coach versions are welcome. numodel ------- * A documented Lua interface opens the model to other tools: numodel.get_model returns the complete model (variables, start values, units, rules in order, stop condition, axis ranges), and numodel.plaintext renders it as plain text in Coachtaal or the English notation. numodel-coach is its first user. * Fixed: \diagrammodel failed when the unit of a y-variable is a robust command with an optional argument, such as the unit macros of physunits. numodel-plot ------------ * scale-format=input: a scaled axis can now keep its unit exactly as written and put the factor in front of it ("10^3 km"), next to the existing prefix ("Mm") and exponent ("10^6 m") forms. * Ready for siunitx 3.6, which removes an internal that the SI-prefix axis labels relied on; verified against siunitx 3.3.8, 3.4, 3.5 and the 3.6 development branch. Documentation ------------- * The README is now written for users of the packages; each of the three packages has its own manual. See CHANGELOG.md for the full list. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/numodel-bundle More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/numodel-bundle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: Tcode
by CTAN Announcements 09 Oct '26

09 Oct '26

Javier A. Múgica submitted the Tcode package. Version: 2026-10-07 License: pd Summary description: Typesetting verbatim code: C, python,… Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a package for typesetting code (e.g., C, python, julia... ). It may be an alternative to the listings package. It is MUCH faster, specially when hundreds of words are defined. It has been tested on plain pdftex, luatex, and pdflatex. It was developed to replace listings for typesetting C code in one particular project. As a result, the support for C has been thoroughly developed: Proper recognition of C numbers, automatic detection of #define'd words, etc. It comes with support for python and julia, much less developed but still fully functional. In python, it recognizes the {} delimited format in f-prefixed strings. The package has a modular design, with a kernel on top of which the support for languages can be programmed. Thus, for example, there is nothing specific in the kernel to recognize {} formats within strings or words following #define. Similar features can be programmed for any language. Support for other languages is welcome. There is an example of a small language file for a faked language: Tcode_example.tex, that can serve as template for other languages. The support for julia, in Tcode_julia,tex, is also small enough that it can serve as template. A fast, user-oriented documentation is present in Tcode_users.html. A thorough documentation of the package can be found in Tcode_developers.html. The package includes a util, pdfcolor-rg.tex, that syntax highlighting files take advantage of, than can be used independently of Tcode. It defines the \color macro and \DefColor and \DefGray macros. It is only suitable for pdf backend, rgb and gray models. Small, easy to understand and debug, and fast. This package will not become part of TeX Live because of problems with filename conventions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tcode The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/tcode/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Patrik Goldschmidt submitted the Lucid CV package. Version: 1.0.0 License: lppl1.3c ofl mit Summary description: ATS-safe customizable LuaLaTeX template for modern resumes/CVs Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, CTAN community, There is no shortage of résumé templates. Some call themselves ATS-friendly, many don't bother, and few check. Yet a single job posting can draw hundreds of applications, and automated parsers decide what a human sees ﬁrst. A résumé that looks good but is read back as a set of fused words, stray icon characters, or orphaned dates may never be noticed. Lucid CV (lucidcv) is a LuaLaTeX class that treats machine readability as a tested property rather than an assumption. Its design is inspired by PlushCV (https://github.com/cystema/PlushCV), with a replaced custom backend developed based on a Python test harness that builds the PDF and reads it back with several extraction engines. The harness checks that: - word gaps are real space characters, - icons extract as nothing, - every phrase comes back intact and in document order, - the PDF is the PDF/A-2b it claims to be. The class was developed against these tests, and each extractor failure that appeared along the way was ﬁxed in the class. It supports single- and two-column layouts, a compact mode, and colors, fonts and spacing that can be customized directly in a document without touching the class and breaking machine parsing. CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/lucidcv Source, tests and examples: https://github.com/xGoldy/lucidcv Feedback, bug reports and unexpected failing PDF parsers are warmly welcome.

Manfred Lotz submitted an update to the pkgcheck package. Version: 4.1.1 2026-10-06 License: apache2 mit Summary description: CTAN package checker Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Fixed - False positive PDF detection for text files containing `%PDF` as a substring (e.g. a Windows batch file using `%PDF%` as a variable). Caused by `infer` 0.22 scanning the first 1024 bytes for `%PDF` rather than checking only the magic offset. - Eliminate remaining `panic!` / `.unwrap()` sites in `main.rs`: missing home directory, unexpected file type in TDS archive walk, hash-file errors in threadpool scopes, symlink canonicalization, `meta.modified()`, tempdir path conversion, and several non-UTF-8 path sites. - Remove `'/'` from the filename allowlist in `filename_has_bad_chars`; add `depth() > 0` guard so invoking pkgcheck with `-d .` or `-d ./` no longer triggers a false E0001. - Replace `match dir_entry { Ok/Err }` with a `let`-else guard in the `check_package` WalkDir loop. ### Changed - Rust crate updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pkgcheck The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/pkgcheck/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Javier A. Múgica submitted the cprotect-other package. Version: 2026-10-06 License: pd Summary description: An alternative \cprotect that avoids the .cpt files Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This package provides an alternative to cprotect. It defines the macro \cprotect, to be used in the same way as the one from the homonymous package. The one from this package avoids the .cpt auxiliary files that pollute the working directory, and it is not specific to LaTeX; it only needs eTeX. It is also much faster than \cprotect, though you typically don’t place many \cprotect in a project. If you have some weird catcode settings the macro may fail. However, the relevant definition is so simple that in a case like this you can just copy-paste the macro from the package and modify it for your unusual setting; it is obvious how to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/cprotect-other The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/cprotect-other/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Fixed: - A block (\suailist, \suaitable, \suaieq, ...) now ends at a line starting with \section, \begin, \end, \par or \clearpage. A block right above \end{document} used to stop the build. - A lstlisting environment right below a block keeps its first line of code. - \suaitable: spaces or "|" inside a formula in a cell no longer break the table. - A % comment in a line of a block applies to that line only. - A Russian abbreviation at the end of a list item keeps its full stop. - An unknown listing language gives a warning instead of an error. - suai new --title: the characters & _ ^ and $ in a title are escaped. New: - Listings: JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin, Rust, JSON, YAML and Dockerfile are defined by the package, with short language names such as cpp, cs, js, ts, py. - The PDF bookmark of an appendix carries its letter.

Gerhard Schaden submitted an update to the linguexx package.

New features in 1.4 * Movement arrows: \mvto{a}{What} did John buy \mvfrom{a}{\_\_}? draws an arrow from the base position to the landing site, below the line, or above the object line in a gloss. Several movements in one example are stacked out of each other's way, and the links of a chain stay on one level. In beamer each slide has its own arrows, so they stay with their words across \pause and \only. In a tagged PDF the base position is read as "__ (moved)". * \verb, fancyvrb's \Verb and listings' \lstinline now work inside an \ex. example, in sub-examples and in glosses. Fixed in 1.4 * An empty gloss cell {} was dropped, so every gloss after it sat under the wrong word. * References to examples with a custom label, \ex.[(7)]: \ref printed nothing for the example itself and "(0a)" for its sub-examples, and all such links led to the first of them. * With cleveref, a \label in the prose after an example was referred to as the example, and a \cref list mixing numbered and custom-labelled examples could lose one of them. Changed in 1.4 * linguexx now needs LaTeX 2022-06-01 or later. A package option given a value, such as [legacy=true], is now an error: write [legacy]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/linguexx The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/linguexx/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
