CTAN Update: extdash

Date: July 4, 2018 8:17:35 PM CEST

Alexander I. Rozhenko submitted an update to the extdash package. Version: 1.3 2018-06-24 License: lppl Summary description: A range of dash commands for compound words Announcement text:

New options controlling em-dash appearance are added in version 1.3 due to feedback from Frank Mittelbach: "allowbreakbefore" allows breaks before em-dash, "wordspacearound" and "nospacearound" modify spacing around em-dash, and the "shortemdash" option has been added as an alias to "cyremdash".

The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/extdash The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools/ (extdash is part of the ncctools bundle!)

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
