The asciilist Package ===================== Copyright (C) 2014-2016 Richard Gay Released under the [LaTeX Project Public License](http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/) version 1.2 or later ## Purpose This package provides the environments `AsciiList` and `AsciiDocList`, which enable quickly typesetting nested lists in LaTeX without having to type individual item macros or opening/closing list environments. The package provides auxiliary functionality for loading such lists from files and provides macros for configuring the use of the list environments and the appearance of the typeset results. ## Availability The `asciilist` package is on [CTAN](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/asciilist), where you can also find the [documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/asciilist/asciilist.pdf), as well as on [github](https://github.com/Ri-Ga/asciilist). Since November 2015, `asciilist` is part of TeX Live (package `texlive-latex-extra`) and is included in [MiKTeX](http://miktex.org/packages/asciilist). ## Manual Installation The `asciilist` package comes with (at least) the following files * asciilist.ins * asciilist.dtx * README.md and possibly also with * Makefile * asciilist.pdf (generated from asciilist.dtx) * asciilist.sty (generated from asciilist.dtx) To install the `asciilist` package, you additionally need * docstrip.tex To build the package (`asciilist.sty`), run one of the following ``` latex asciilist.ins make package (needs Makefile) ``` Put the resulting `asciilist.sty` somewhere where LaTeX can find it. Read the documentation of your LaTeX system to find out where this might be. ## Building Documentation To build the documentation of the `asciilist` package, you additionally need * ltxdoc.cls * idxlayout.sty * xcolor.sty * showexpl.sty * paralist.sty * trimspaces.sty * etoolbox.sty * hypdoc.sty * makeindex * pdflatex To build the documentation (`asciilist.pdf`), either run ``` make docs ``` or the following sequence of commands ``` pdflatex asciilist.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist -o asciilist.ind asciilist.idx makeindex -s gglo.ist -o asciilist.gls asciilist.glo pdflatex asciilist.dtx pdflatex asciilist.dtx ``` Happy TeX'ing
