I would like to announce a new LaTeX package called skb. This package provides macros that help to build a document repository for long living documents. It focuses on structure and re-use of text, code, figures etc. The basic concept is to first separate structure from content (i.e. text about a topic from the structure it is presented by) and then separating the content from the actual published document, thus enabling easy re-use of text blocks in different publications (i.e. text about a protocol in a short article about this protocol as well as in a book about many protocols); all without constantly copying or changing text. As a side effect, using the document classes provided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from someone who just wants to write articles and books. skb.sty v0.5 : the skb package skbarticle.cls v0.5 : an article class based on memoir skbbook.cls v0.5 : a book class based memoir skbbeamer.cls v0.5 : a beamer class based on beamer v3.10 skblncsbeamer.cls v0.5 : a class for annotated beamer slides skblncsppt.cls v0.5 : a class for annotated ppt slides See for more information the PDF documentation of this package. The history of the package is documented in /source/HISTORY.TXT and in the PDF documentation.
