* Package name : hintview Version : 1.3.1 Upstream Contact: Martin Ruckert <ruck...@cs.hm.edu> * URL : https://hint.userweb.mwn.de/ * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : Program to view HINT files The HINT file format is an alternative to the DVI or PDF format that was designed specifically for on screen reading of documents. Especially on mobile devices, reading DVI or PDF documents can be cumbersome. . Mobile devices are available in a large variety of sizes but are typically not large enough to display documents formated for letter-size paper. To compensate for the limitations of a small screen, users are used to alternate between landscape (few long lines) and portrait (more short lines) mode. The HINT format supports variable and varying screen sizes leveraging the ability of TEX to format a document for (almost) arbitrary values of \hsize and \vsize. Why and how to maintain the package: - Currently the hitex program is included in Debian and one can create hint files. Hence it is highly useful to have a program, to display these kind of files. - I'm a member of the Debian TeX Task force and I'll maintain in the team. I'm a DM, once I got the upload permits I can care of the package myself. -- sigmentation fault
