CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

On Thu, 19 Feb 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to 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 v1.2: - new options: voffset, hoffset, width, height, opacity, avatar, style - new annotation type: FreeText annotation -> pdffreetextcomment - introduction of an avatar and style system -> defineavatar, definestyle, options avatar and style - printing the PDF annotations and popups is possible now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (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 update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be through the mirroring system. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: biblatex-dw Author's name: Dominik Waßenhoven Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.2f - Adjustments to biblatex version 0.8c. Note that from this version on biblatex 0.8c is required, so you have to update biblatex as well if you would like to use biblatex-dw 1.2f! -> The biblatex-dw option 'idem' was replaced by the new biblatex option 'idemtracker'. The standard setting is 'idemtracker=constrict'. If you would like to switch off the idem functionality, you can use 'idemtracker=false'. For more information on the 'idemtracker' option see the biblatex manual. - New options 'doi', 'eprint', 'isbn' and 'issn' which can take the values 'true' and 'false'. With these options you can decide whether you want to have printed the corresponding fields or not. The default for these options is 'false' (as was the standard before). - New option 'idemfont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic', 'bold' and 'normal'. The default is none which means that the 'idem' string is printed in the font shape of 'namefont'. - New option 'ibidemfont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. The default is none which means that the 'ibidem' string is printed in normal font shape. - New macro 'jourvolstring' which introduces the volume of an article entry. The default is a space (as it was the case before), but you can adjust it to your needs, e.g.: enewcommand*{jourvolstring}{addspace voladddotspace} - New macro 'journumstring' which introduces the number in article entries, if the option 'journumafteryear' is set to 'true'. The default for this macro is a comma, followed by the bibstring 'number' and a non-breakable space. You can redefine it to your needs, e.g.: enewcommand*{journumstring}{addspace} - If there is no volume in an article entry, but the month field is set, the date is separated from the journal title by a comma and a space, not only a space. - Fixed some BUGS concerning the xref functionality. - Reorganized some bibliography drivers. - Enhanced the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblate… .
