CTAN upload: wordlike
Date: February 19, 2006 11:00:59 PM CET
On Sat, 18 Feb 2006, Juergen Fenn submitted the new package
wordlike
to CTAN.
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/wordlike
Licence: LPPL
The package consists of these files:
* wordlike.ins
* wordlike.dtx
* README with some hints to installing the package
Wordlike.sty is a simple package that may be used to simulate word
processor layout:
* Narrow page margins (2,5 cm)
* Times/ Helvetica/ Courier fonts
* \normalsize + \small headings, and
* \sloppy typesetting (sic!) throughout
are provided. The package aims at making life easier for those users
who are discontent with LaTeX's standard layout settings because they
need a layout that resembles the usual "wordlike" output. The package
draws on several discussions in the de.comp.text.tex and comp.text.tex
newsgroups that are referred to in the manual.
Thanks for the upload.
