(fixed); \ResetCodeLineNumbers fixed `mdoccorr.cfg' `<-' and `->' typeset arrows, `...' re-implemented `fifinddo.sty' new macros \IfFDpreviousInputEmpty ("compression" of empty lines), \BasicNormalCatcodes, \CopyFile* (compress), \CopyLine, \StartPrependingChain (per-line jobs), documentation modified `niceverb.sty' fixed `\ ' in auto mode; \ctanpkgref moves to `texlinks.sty'; additions in introduction `makedoc.cfg' loads `hypertoc.sty' and `texlinks.sty' -- dedicated to my sister for her birthday! Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. Location: /macros/latex/contrib/nicetext Author: Uwe Lück License: lppl Caption: Minimal markup for simple text (Wikipedia style) and documentation. Description: Nicetext bundle offers “minimal” markup syntax for various simple kinds of text. The code you type should involve little more than is printed, and you still get LaTeX quality. The bundle provides four packages: *'wiki' addresses general texts, marked up in the simple style used on Wikipedia; *'niceverb' is yet another means of documenting LaTeX packages: it offers syntax-aware typesetting of meta-variables (macro arguments) and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section titles etc.; *'fifinddo' aims to parse plain text or (La)TeX files using TeX, and to write the results to an external file. This generalises the philosophy behind docstrip: the package aims at practical application, and is used by *'makedoc', which provides the means to typeset package files.

On Tue, 23 Mar 2010 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the nicetext package. Summary description: `makedoc' + `niceverb' - an alternative documentation system for LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: -- The `nicetext' bundle offers "minimal" markup syntax for restricted kinds of text: There should not be much more characters typed than printed! -- mainly: quick documentation of (smaller) LaTeX packages -- achieved by active characters and preprocessing similar to `docstrip' ("opposite direction" however, incl. some txt to TeX). New with release 0.3: * `substr.tex' should typeset LaTeX quality documentation from next available (on your install) substry.sty's ASCII/UTF-8 input (works with me) -- first application of `niceverb''s "auto mode" and `makedoc.sty' to a third-party package! * `makedoc' simplified: single \MakeInputJobDoc[][]{}{} generates a documentation file from the package file and typesets it immediately (kind of \DocInput equivalent) -- see `Using makedoc the simplest way' in `makedoc.pdf' * `|...|' from `niceverb' typesets an inline frame box for setting-off a command description, modifiable by hooks (e.g., \colorbox) * `niceverb' syntax works in page headers, PDF bookmarks, and `hyperref' labels and otherwise much better than before, dis-/re-enableable featurewise as well as altogether * documentation extended, lists of script commands * configurable txt to TeX functionality or other replacements like ASCII-arrows to arrow commands or inserting \index entries (setting up expandable replacement chains slightly more comfortable) -- try with templates and dialogue * `fifinddo' works with character codes > 127, improved setup * `makedoc' requires the `moreverb' package. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ .

CTAN Update: nicetext (fifinddo & makedoc)
On Thu, 16 Apr 2009 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the nicetext package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ Summary description: string substitution and "txt->TeX" by LaTeX (documenting packages) License type: lppl Announcement text: -- The NICETEXT bundle offers ``minimal'' markup syntax for restricted kinds of text: There should not be much more characters typed than printed! (though keeping LaTeX quality.) No more backslashes, technical terms, and curly braces! (so clumsy on PC keyboards) ... Main focus now is easy *documentation of LaTeX packages*. Preprocessing by 'Perl' or so is replaced by TeX macros (reviving/generalizing the 'docstrip' idea). 'fifinddo.sty' provides setup for txt -> TeX preprocessing macros including *expandable* sequences of safe, correct string substitions. 'fifinddo.pdf' mathematically characterizes wrong substring detection by 'substr.sty' as well as by LaTeX's internal `\in@'. There is a script language for detecting package code and documentation and for supplying plain text with typographical markup ('makedoc.sty', 'mdcorr.cfg'). -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicetext/ .
