The dlfltxb bundle consists of (currently) four packages used for my
book "Introduktion til LaTeX" (in Danish, available from
http://www.imf.au.dk/system/latex/bog/).
One package consists of various home made macros (in the book
presented as code tips), which are also useful for other users. The
remaining three packages are used internally for writing the book.
At least one more package (dlfltxbsc) will be added to the bundle
later. This is the package used for all the
examples in the book.
HISTORY
=======
* 20070601 added new versions of dlfltxbcodetips and
dlfltxbmarkup-sample.cfg
* 20070604 made dlfltxbcodetips more compatible with the mathdesign
package by adding the 'noamssymb' option
* 20070710 bugfix in dlfltxbcodetips (the counter aliasing in
\NewShadedTheorem should now work as intended)
* 20070711 bugfix in dlfltxbcodetips (coding error in \ArrowBetweenLines)
* 20080117 added the dlfltxbtocconfig package
* 20080122 small changes to dlfltxbtocconfig
* 20080805 changes to several packages
* 20081030 renamed a file because of confusion
* 20100304 updated packages for todays releace
Current file contents for the dlfltxb bundle:
=============================================
dlfltxbcodetips (v0.5):
-----------------------
* dlfltxbcodetips.sty
* dlfltxbcodetips.pdf (manual)
* dlfltxbcodetips.tex (source for the manual)
The dlfltxbcodetips package contains macros:
* \bigtimes (without the need for extra fonts)
* \nuparrow, \ndownarrow (using graphicx and \nrightarrow and \nleftarrow)
* \InsertTheoremBreak for inserting a 'linebreak' before the start of
a list, when that list is the first part of a theorem text
* a series of macros for helping with alignment in formulas
* \NewShadedTheorem for auto creating shaded theorems with the
ntheorem package (requires the user to load the (x)color and framed
packages and define the shadecolor, and of course using ntheorem)
* \ProvidePGFPagesFourOnOneWithSpaceForNotes provides a
'4 on 1 with space for notes' layout for pgfpages, based on the
standard '8 on 1'
* \OverloadUnderscoreInMath, after which _ will be overloaded in
math-mode, such that X_|max| = X_{\textup{max}}
* \DeclareMathSymbolShorthand and hence \DeclareMathSet for
* creating easy shortcuts to various symbols, such as \setR for
\mathbb{R} (the real numbers), we promote the method of using
shortcuts that have a meaning with out the definition of the
shortcut it self
Changes
-------
v0.2 Better implementations of \nuparrow, \ndownarrow and bigtimes,
all due to Enrico Gregorio. Also changed the implementation of
\NewShadedTheorem such that the environment giving the
bagground is now configurable.
v0.23 Made the autoloading of amssymb optional.
v0.25 Bugfix.
v0.26 Bugfix.
v0.30 added \ProvidePGFPagesFourOnOneWithSpaceForNotes
v0.40 added \MoveEqLeft (renamed from \PullBack),
\OverloadUnderscoreInMath, \DeclareMathSet,
\DeclareMathSymbolShorthand
v0.5 Removed \MoveEqLeft, \ArrowBetweenLines, \SwapDeadSpace
They have a new home in the mathtools package
\nuparrow and \ndownarrow delayed until begin document,
such that they can better detect for missing symbols
dlfltxbmarkup (v0.70):
---------------------
* dlfltxbmarkup.sty
* dlfltxbmarkup.pdf (manual)
* dlfltxbmarkup.tex (source for the manual)
* dlfltxbmarkup-sample.cfg (sample configuration file, actually the
keys I currently use for the book)
* dlfltxbmarkup-showkeys.tex (a file that can be used to print a list
of category keys and their description)
* dlfltxbmarkup-showkeys.pdf (sample description file showing the
* contents of dlfltxbmarkup-sample.cfg)
The dlfltxbmarkup package provides:
* \markup for marking up words etc. in the text. The context is
controlled by user defined category keys. \markup can
automatically write in the text, in the (outer) margin and adding
the word to the index (in several places if so defined in the key
definition)
* \felineGenerateKey for generating category keys
The dlfltxbmarkup package requires the use of the memoir
class. Currently I do not plan on creating a version the is not
dependant of memoir.
Changes
-------
20070601 new version of dlfltxbmarkup-sample.cfg
20080117 new version of dlfltxbmarkup-sample.cfg plus a bug fix
20080805 use \scriptsize instead of \footnotesize when writing in the
margins. Major cleanup in dlfltxbmarkup-sample.cfg
20081030 The sample key dlfltxbmarkup-sample.cfg has been renamed to
dlfltxbmarkupbookkeys.sty as to remove confusion
20100304 several new keys added to dlfltxbmarkupbookkeys.sty
dlfltxbmisc (v0.3):
-------------------
* dlfltxbmisc.sty
* dlfltxbmisc.pdf (manual)
* dlfltxbmics.tex (source for the manual)
The dlfltxbmisc package provides
* macros for writing sample LaTeX arguments
* two simple environments for displaying syntax
* the \addurl (bad name) that I use for specially wrapping URLs in
the bibliography
Changes
-------
2008/01/01 fixed to accommodate changes in mempatch version 4.9
2010/03/04 added \CTAN macro
dlfltxbtocconfig (0.7)
----------------------
* dlfltxbtocconfig.sty
* dlfltxbtocconfig.pdf (very short manual)
* dlfltxbtocconfig.tex (source for manual)
The dlfltxbtocconfig package provides
* macros for creating the short and long TOC for my LaTeX book
* macros to 'dynamically' change the TOC indentation for subsubsection items
* feature for setting auto-generated numwidths for section and
subsection based on the contents of the .toc file.
(rewritten in version 0.7)
Changes
-------
2008/01/17 Initial release
2008/01/22 Made the ToC titles configurable using \contentsname and a
provided \shortcontentsname
2008/08/05 some reconfiguration of the look of the short toc.
2010/03/04 toc configuration heavyly changed, autoadjusting now use
undocumented features in memoir (benefit of being memoir maintainer ;-)
package_doc.bib:
----------------
Bibliographic information used by all three documentations.
dlfltxbbibtex.bst, .dbj:
------------------------
Bibtex style and makebst driver used for the book.
If you choose to change the bibtex style using the dbj file, please rename it first.
INSTALLATION:
=============
Place all *.sty files in
tex/latex/dlfltxb
All *.tex *.bib *.pdf and README in
doc/latex/dlfltxb
The .bst file in

dlfltxb – Macros related to "Introdktion til LaTeX"
The bundle contains various macros either used for creating the author’s book “Introduktion til LaTeX” (in Danish), or presented in the book as code tips.
The bundle comprises:
- dlfltxbcodetips: various macros helpful in typesetting mathematics;
- dlfltxbmarkup: provides macros used throughout, for registering macro names, packages etc. in the text, in the margin and in the index, all by using categorised keys (note, a configuration file may be used; a sample is included in the distribution);
- dlfltxbtocconfig: macros for the two tables of contents that the book has;
- dlfltxbmisc: various macros for typesetting LaTeX arguments, and the macro used in the bibliography that can wrap a URL up into a BibTeX entry.
Interested parties may review the book itself on the web at the author’s institution (it is written in Danish).
