CTAN Update: dvdcoll
Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements. dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL new in v1.1: - new languages dvdcoll.cls now also supports Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish - new class option pdfencoding encoding used in bookmarks and pdf annotations (pdfdocencoding, unicode) - new command \listofemptydescriptions to produce a list with all titles with empty descriptions - Bugfix: now correct output of all non-ASCII characters in pdf annotations by switching to correct pdf encoding (see: class option pdfencoding) and switching off active characters within environment Dvd - Bugfix: switch to \LoadClass and \DeclareOptionX* to prevent unused global options warning - several minor improvements and bugfixes (see: CHANGES)
