Title: A World Wide Web Interface to CTAN Authors: Norman Walsh Venue: Year: 1994 Canonical: openalex:https://openalex.org/W198371245 URL: https://openalex.org/W198371245 Collector: openalex OA: false ABSTRACT There are a lot of different software packages, style files, fonts, etc., in the CTAN archves. Finding the things you need in a timely fashion can be difficult, as I found out while writing Making TEX Work. The ability to combine descriptions of packages with the directory listings from CTAN could help alleviate some of the difficulty. The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the document structuring language of the World Wide Web and it provides one possible means of combining different views of the archive into a single vision. The CTAN-Web project is my attempt to provide this vision.
