            README for the `nicefilelist' package
     \listfiles Alignment with Date and Version Columns
         © Uwe Lück 2012/10/30 (deceased June 2020,
        2022-12-05 v0.8a patched by H.-Martin Münch,
     original package version 0.7a has been archived at
         https://web.archive.org/web/20221205210517/
          https://mirror.mwt.me/ctan/install/macros/
          latex/contrib/nicefilelist.tds.zip)

While `longnamefilelist.sty' improves LaTeX's \listfiles with
respect to long base filenames only, the present `nicefilelist.sty'
can keep separate columns for
(i) date (ii) version, and (iii) "caption"
(don't write caption text in date column),
their alignment not being disturbed by short filename extensions
such as `.fd'. This is achieved basing on the `monofill' package.

v0.7 offers a package option `[wrap]' for automatic word wrapping
within the caption column, using the `hardwrap' package,
so filenames and captions can be quite long without disturbing
the alignment.

As opposed to the `dateiliste' package, this is about the plain
text output in the `.log' file or, with `myfilist', as a stand-
alone plain text file.

The package `latexfileinfo-pkgs'

    https://ctan.org/pkg/latexfileinfo-pkgs

describes `nicefilelist' in a more general context. A file
`nicefilelist.RLS' provides release information accessible by
packages described there.
