Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dlfltxb/ Summary description: Updates to released packages related to "Introduktion til LaTeX" License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dlfltxb bundle contains several packages used for creating 'Introduktion to LaTeX" (my Danish LaTeX book, see http://www.imf.au.dk/system/latex/bog/ for beta versions), the packages includes macros for handling document markup (i.e. using keywords to switch formatting of certain words, writing them in the margin and auto indexing them). Another package handles the two tables of contents. One interesting package for casual users is the dlfltxbcodetips package which contain the code from several tips in the book, i.e. macros that you will fond in no other packages. (Some of these will over time be moved to the mathtools package) ------------------------------------------------- CTAN Announcements 2008-08-07T13:02:03 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.ctan.announce/6475 On Mon, 4 Aug 2008 Wybo Dekker submitted version 2.0 of the vpp (view_print_ps_pdf) package. vpp (View and Print PDF/Postscript) displays a pdf or postscript document and lets you print (or save as PDF) selected pages to a one- or two-sided hardcopy or an A5-booklet.

Hence, the commands provided are not intended for use at the document level nor for use in describing design layouts in document class files. This API provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other advanced extensions are built. Special care has been taken so that they can be used within a LaTeX2e context as regular packages. users should review the rest of the (extensive) readme file for further details. note that the package's directory has moved location on ctan. thanks for the upload; i have updated the catalogue and it should by now be visible at most mirror sites.
