    Summary description: Include annotated source files as LaTeX listings

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The comment2tex package (v1.0)

    I am pleased to announce the first release of comment2tex.

    comment2tex typesets a source file that keeps its documentation
    in special comments: doc-comment lines become ordinary LaTeX,
    everything else becomes a listing.
    A Lua converter handles the transformation and two TeX wrappers,
    one for LaTeX/LuaLaTeX and one for plain TeX, provide \includebash
    and \includelua to pull annotated Bash or Lua sources into a document.
    Under LuaLaTeX the conversion runs in process;
    under pdfLaTeX it uses shell escape or a separate pre-build run.

    The package is distributed under the LaTeX Project Public License 1.3c.
