CTAN update: xkeyval v2.4 and extract v1.7

Date: March 31, 2005 11:55:10 AM CEST

On Thu, 31 Mar 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted new versions of xkeyval and extract to CTAN. The xkeyval package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys.

xkeyval v2.4

1) Added `default value' column to xkvview tables. 2) Added nesting protection for internal conditionals. 3) Changed \define at boolkey to have an explicit key function. 4) Extended boolean keys. 5) Extended choice keys. 6) Inserted pst-xkey in xkeyval source. 7) Removed command keys. 8) Revised documentation and examples. 9) Simplified some code. 10) Updated xkvview. 11) Solved small bug related to \XKV at rm. 12) Redid \XKV at wh@list without using groups. The extract package provides the means to extract specific content from a source document and write that to a target document. One could, for instance, use this to extract all exercises from lecture notes and generate an exercises book on the fly. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/extract License: LPPL

extract – Extract parts of a document and write to another document

The package provides the means to extract specific content from a source document and write that to a target document. One could, for instance, use this to extract all exercises from lecture notes and generate an exercises book on the fly.

The package also provides an environment which writes its body entirely to the target file. Another environment will write to the target file, but will also execute the body. This allows to share code (for instance, a preamble) between the source document and the target file.

Finally, the package provides an interface to conditionally extract content. With a single package option, one can specify exactly which commands (counted from the start of the document) should be extracted and which not. This might be useful for extracting specific slides from a presentation and use them in a new file.
