CTAN update: LinguisTiX
Date: January 21, 2026 5:25:25 PM CET
निरंजन submitted an update to the
LinguisTiX
package.
Version number: 0.7 2026-01-19
License type: gpl3+
Summary description: Enhanced support for linguistics
Announcement text:
This version marks a significant change in the LinguisTiX bundle. All the previous versions were licensed under GPLv3+ and GFDLv1.3+ pair with the former being the license for the programs and the latter being the same for their documentations. Since the documentations were generated using the dtx files licensed under GPLv3+, the generated PDFs had to follow the same license. I correct this mistake in this version and from now on the project will be under GPLv3+ only. Similarly, the copyright years are corrected from this version strictly following the guidelines given by the FSF. Apart from this, the new version provides support for linguistic glossing. Two packages are added in this version. LinguisTiX-glossing provides a generic solution for interlinear glossing. It can be used cross-linguistically and LinguisTiX-leipzig is provided as a specialised package developed for the Leipzig glossing style. These packages are released for testing. So any kind of feedback is highly appreciated. Note that these packages provide tagged glosses and comply with the LaTeX project’s tagging support. This marks the completion of the first grant of the project provided by the TeX Users Group. Project will still be under constant development. The documentation of LinguisTiX-leipzig will be released shortly after I am back at software from a study break. Cheers, निरंजन
