Summary description: LaTeX macros for TUGboat articles
Announcement text:
A small update to the LaTeX tugboat package. Noteworthy changes: 2.36 (2026-01-14) ltugboat.cls: - typeset bibliographies with \raggedright by default. - \tubdots: intra-dot space also before first dot. - don't use math for \Cplusplus, etc., since OpenType math (lm, newcm) results differ from traditional TeX math. - smaller kern for \BibTeX. - \CandT: tie before \&. tugboat.bst: - use a tie after month abbreviations by default (monthtie=0 to override). - use a tie after edition numbers, like "1st~ed.". - use a tie after the "In" output by @incollection, etc. - if the new field isbnoutput is set, output the isbn field if it's present, preceded by "ISBN~" unless the field value already contains "ISBN". Use a space instead of ~ if the field isbnspace is set.
Please submit articles for the next issue: see article template and information at https://tug.org/TUGboat/location.html. And see https://tug.org/TUGboat for author info, back issues, and everything else relating to TUGboat. Suggestions and bug reports are always welcome.
