    Summary description: mahjong-tiles is a LaTeX package for typesetting Japanese/Riichi Mahjong tiles

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    `mahjong-tiles` is a new LaTeX package for typesetting Japanese/Riichi Mahjong tiles, hands, and discard rivers using compact MPSZ notation. This initial CTAN release provides:

    * `\mahjong{...}` for typesetting Mahjong hands;

    * `\mahjongriver{...}` for discard-river layouts;

    * support for red fives, face-down and blank tiles, gaps, rotated called tiles, stacked sideways tiles, and concealed-kong shorthand;

    * configurable tile size and tile-back colour;

    * support annotations above the tiles;

    * PDF tile artwork and a documented `.dtx/.ins` source distribution. The package is derived from Daniel Schmitz's mahjong package and includes tile artwork derived from FluffyStuff's project.
