[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.60, Package name: tex-lettrine-2.60, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The lettrine package supports various dropped capitals styles,
typically those described in the French typographic books. In
particular, it has facilities for the paragraph text's left
edge to follow the outline of capitals that have a regular
shape (such as "A" and "V").

tex-lettrine{,-doc}: update to 2.60

2.60
The `\lettrine` command is now compatible with right to left typesetting, both
with `LuaLaTeX` and `XeLaTeX` (`babel` or `polyglossia`).

A basic example `lettrine-demo-arabic.tex` has been added to the `doc`
directory.

Currently with XeLaTeX, file `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def` (v0.8 [2022/11/06]) is
automatically loaded by the `bidi` package; it redefines the `\@lettrine`command
based on version 2.30 of `lettrine`.  This code breaks versions 2.50 and newer
of the `lettrine` package, you can now safely remove `lettrine-xetex-bidi.def`
if you install `lettrine` v2.60.

2.52
New option `viewport=` for the `\lettrine` command: when the dropped cap
is an image, it is passed to `\includegraphics` so that `\lettrine` only
considers the contents of the rectangle defined by its lower left and
upper right corners to compute the size of the final image.

2.51
The *.cfl files had to be renamed to fit TeX Live requirements.

2.50
Breaking change in version 2.50:
In order to improve the alignment of side by side parboxes starting with
a dropped cap, the internals of the \lettrine{} command have changed.
This may affect multicolumn typestting when a dropped cap starts a column
and sticks out significantly above the baseline.  See file `lettrine.pdf`
for possible workarounds.

Log message:
tex-lettrine{,-doc}: update to 2.40

Changes:
- file "lettrine.ins" deleted, "lettrine.dtx" auto-generates
  "lettrine.sty" and "lettrine.cfg";
- packages "xkeyval" and "minifp" are no longer required, kernel
  packages "ltxkeys" and "xfp" are used instead.
- The second mandatory argument of \lettrine is now printed using
  \unhcopy instead of \usebox (allows microtype action and footnote calls).

New (easier) way to enter the default settings: the lettrine package now
accepts the same options as the \lettrine command; they set the default
parameters for the document. For instance
\usepackage[lines=3]{lettrine}
overrides the corresponding lettrine.cfg setting and is equivalent to
\setcounter{DefaultLines}{3}.

Log message:
all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https

pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F

With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.

This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
