Our pinp package for snazzier one or two column vignette received it second update. Now at version 0.0.3, it arrived on CRAN on Saturday with minimal fuzz as an ‘CRAN-pretest-publish’ transition.

We added more frontmatter options, documented more, and streamlined some internals of the LaTeX class borrowed from PNAS. A screenshot of the (updated) vignette can be seen below. Additional screenshots of are at the pinp page.

The NEWS entry for this release follows.

Changes in tint version 0.0.3 (2017-10-28)

• Section ‘Acknowledgements’ now conditional on a frontmatter setting, section ‘Matmethods’ has been removed, pnasbreak no longer used which stabilizes LaTeX float formatting. References are now shown in the column just like other content (Dirk in #36).

• Vignette now uses new numbered sections frontmatter switch which improves the pdf outline.

• New front-matter options for title/section header colors, and link colors (Dirk in #39).

• YAML frontmater options are now documented in the help page for pinp as well (Dirk in #41).

• Some typos were fixed (Michael in #42 and #43).
