A command line flag suppresses printing of bytes within the ASCII range which is useful for locating stray non-ASCII codes.

The available encodings are:

· Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1)
· Latin-2 (ISO-8859-2)
· WinLatin1 (Microsoft Codepage 1252
· WinLatin2 (Microsoft Codepage 1250

LyX 1.5.3

admin — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:55:48 +0000

LyX is an advanced open source document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. LyX lets you concentrate on writing, leaving details of visual layout to the software.

LyX runs on many Unix platforms, OS/2, and under Windows/Cygwin (this port requires an X server). LyX project can also run natively on Mac OS X, thanks to the Qt/Mac library.

LyX produces high quality, professional output — using LaTeX, an industrial strength typesetting engine, in the background; LyX is far more than a front-end to LaTeX, however. No knowledge of LaTeX is necessary to use LyX, although it will give a user more power.

LyX is stable and fully featured. It has been used for documents as large as a thesis, or as small as a business letter. Despite its simple GUI interface (available in many languages), it supports tables, figures, and hyperlinked cross-references, and has a best-of-breed math editor.

What’s New in This Release:

· This is a maintenance release that further improves the stability and the performance. Besides numerous crashes, the display problems that slipped into 1.5.2 with the performance fixes (on the Mac and on Windows) as well as problems entailed to the reworked document classes were fixed. Furthermore, LyX 1.5.3 comes with speed improvements that should pay off especially on the Mac and other UNIXes. Finally, this version also provides some new features.

All current 1.5.x users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

Please refer to http://www.lyx.org/announce/1_5_3.txt for a detailed list of changes against version 1.5.2

gema 1.4 RC

admin — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:54:58 +0000

Gema is a general purpose text processing utility based on the concept of pattern matching. In general, it reads an input file and copies it to an output file, while performing certain transformations to the data as specified by a set of patterns defined by the user.

It can be used to do the sorts of things that are done by Unix utilities such as cpp, grep, sed, awk, or strings. It can be used as a macro processor, but it is much more general than cpp or m4 because it does not impose any particular syntax for what a macro call looks like.

Unlike utilities like sed or awk, gema can deal with patterns that span multiple lines and with nested constructs. It is also distinguished by being able to use multiple sets of rules to be used in different contexts.

Gema has been extended with a binding to the scripting language Lua, named GeL, that provides the ability of executing piece of Lua code in gema actions. It also may be used to add gema powerful matching capabilities to any Lua-enabled software.

· Just enough character and paragraph style support to let you get the job done, while not enough to let you waste time configuring them.
· Multiple documents in a single file.
· HTML import and export.
· Small and efficient codebase. (5500 lines of code!)

DoLatex 1.0 Alpha

admin — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:52:06 +0000

DoLatex is a Latex editor with document structure tree view and project handling.

DoLaTeX works with a notion of projects. The files in the projects are scanned, information extracted and shown in a structure view. LaTeX can be configured and run from DoLatex. The output is shown and colourised. DoLatex tries to reason about in which file an error occurred, so that it can aid in finding the error.

DoLatex is written in Python, using wxPython. The editor component used is wxStyledTextCtrl, which is Scintilla in wxWindows wrapping.

What’s New in This Release:

· Many things should work, but there are some bugs and mis-features.
