Charles P. Schaum submitted an update to the nameauth package. Version: 3.01 2016-10-27 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index Announcement text: -- I am pleased to announce the release of nameauth 3.0. This extensive redesign of the package brings greater simplicity, compactness, and power. Notable feature additions include: * Alternate names are available for both Western names and comma-delimited non-Western names. * The index macros generate both `see' and `see also' types of references. More can be done in terms of index management. * Writing custom name format hooks has been simplified greatly. * In most cases, the package remains backward-compatible with earlier versions through the use of package options. The modular redesign of the package has reduced its size by over 100 lines even after adding features. Distinct paths exist for printing names in the text, putting page entries in the index, and putting cross-references into the index. -- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/nameauth The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth/ Thanks for the upload.

Charles P. Schaum submitted an update to the nameauth package. Version number: 2.6 2016-09-19 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index Announcement text: -- Version 2.6 of the nameauth package accounts for names that are split by a page break by making an index entry before and after the name. Affix commas in the text (comma option and old syntax) no longer affect the index. The old syntax is virtually interchangeable with the new (apart from the cross-indexing macros). One easily can suppress commas or add commas after affixes. Many documentation improvements not only try to display the subject matter in a more succinct and understandable manner, but a number of special cases are covered. More examples help those looking for specialty formats and applications, especially in cross-cultural uses. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/nameauth We are supported by the TeX User Groups.

Charles P. Schaum submitted an update to the nameauth package. Version number: 2.5 2016-04-06 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index Announcement text: -- The 2.5 milestone update moves toward greater modularity in processing names. No default format is assigned to names. Those who used the previous default still may get that behavior with the smallcaps option. The front/main matter systems each have their own first- and subsequent-use hooks. Complex interactions with names and their contexts are possible. Longer examples in the manual are included also in a separate examples file. This opens possibilities for reference works, historical research, and any situation where one must key information to names and create complex interactions based on that. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/nameauth We are supported by the TeX user groups.
