different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no
special style for strings). Includes support for hyperref. To use, simply

then employ the \begin{lstlisting} ... \end{lstlisting} environment or the
\lstinputlisting{filename.py} command.
NOTE: The original author of this package, Carsten Heinz, became inactive
sometime in late 2004. Hendri Adriaens took over maintenance of the
package in accordance with the LPPL's procedure for abandoned packages. He
then passed the maintainership of the package to Brooks Moses, who had
volunteered for the position while this procedure was going through. Six
years later Jobst Hoffmann took over the maintainership of the listings
package.
This release, version 1.5, is a minor maintenance release and contains
updates to a programming language and support for a new program as well:
* Fortran is updated to version Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008

CTAN Update: stackengine
Steve B. Segletes submitted an update to the stackengine package. Version number: 2.0 License type: lppl Summary description: Highly customized stacking of objects, insets, baseline changes, etc. Announcement text: -- While several improvements have been added to stackengine V2.0, the most important of them requires a small syntax change that will affect prior code, when specifying the default stackgaps. This change was required to correct the deficiency that scalable stackgaps did not scale when the fontsize was changed. V2.0 provides an [oldsyntax] package option to maintain backward compatibility, if desired. See documentation for details. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/stackengine . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/stackengine (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . Thanks for the upload.
