CTAN update: verbatimbox

the daemon reports: > Name of contribution: verbatimbox > Author's name: Steven B. Segletes > Package version: 3.0 > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/verbatimbox/ > Summary description: Routines to put verbatim text in a box, used when > verbatim is inaccessible. Also, for adding vertical buffer > to an object. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > The verbatimbox package has undergone a major overhaul. > > The package allows verbatim material to be placed into LATEX boxes, > for later recall. This function is useful in several situations, primarily in places > where the verbatim environment is otherwise inaccessible (for example, in the > midst of a tabular environment). It is also useful if a given verbatim text needs > to be recalled multiple times within a document. > > The introduction of the new myverbbox environment allows the user to > place verbatim content in a box for which he chooses the name, thus > allowing more than one verbatimbox to be in play at a time. > > While there is application for its use within the verbatimbox > application, this package also offers an independent command > (\addvbuffer) for conveniently providing vertical buffer space above > and below a LaTeX object. The new optional argument allows one to > specify the amount of buffer to add above and below the object. > > Finally, authentic documentation is provided, sorely lacking in prior versions. > > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.ctan.org/pkg/verbatimbox > or they may browse the package directory at > http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/verbatimbox/ thanks for the upload; i installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. i apologise for continuing delays in making announcements. my health remains unreliable, and slows me down a lot.
