amsfonts (texlive-base)

An extended set of fonts for use in mathematics, including: extra mathematical symbols; blackboard bold letters (uppercase only); fraktur letters; subscript sizes of bold math italic and bold Greek letters; subscript sizes of large symbols such as sum and product; added sizes of the Computer Modern small caps font; cyrillic fonts (from the University of Washington); Euler mathematical fonts. All fonts are provided as Adobe Type 1 files, and all except the Euler fonts are provided as Metafont source. The distribution also includes the canonical Type 1 versions of the Computer Modern family of fonts. Plain TeX and LaTeX macros for using the fonts are provided.

bibtex (texlive-base)

BibTeX allows the user to store his citation data in generic form, while printing citations in a document in the form specified by a BibTeX style, to be specified in the document itself (one often needs a LaTeX citation-style package, such as natbib as well). BibTeX itself is an ASCII-only program; there is, however, a version that copes with 8-bit character sets. However, BibTeX's facilities rapidly run out as one moves away from simple ASCII (for example, in the various national sorting rules for languages expressed in different parts of ISO-8859 -- the "ISO Latin" series). For more flexibility, the user is urged to consider using biber with biblatex to typeset its output. In fact, it is best to avoid BibTeX in favour of biber and biblatex, if at all possible.

cm (texlive-base)

Knuth's final iteration of his re-interpretation of a c.19 Modern-style font from Monotype. The family is comprehensive, offering both sans and roman styles, and a monospaced font, together with mathematics fonts closely integrated with the mathematical facilities of TeX itself. The base fonts are distributed as Metafont source, but autotraced PostScript Type 1 versions are available (one version in the AMS fonts distribution, and also the BaKoMa distribution). The Computer Modern fonts have inspired many later families, notably the European Computer Modern and the Latin Modern families.

dvipdfmx-def (texlive-base)

This is the graphics driver for use when output is to be processed by dvipdfmx.

dvipdfmx (texlive-base)

Dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) is a development of dvipdfm created to support multi-byte character encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages. Dvipdfmx, if "called" with the name dvipdfm, operates in a "dvipdfm compatibility" mode, so that users of the both packages need only keep one executable. A secondary design goal is to support as many "PDF" features as does pdfTeX. There being no documentation as such, users are advised to consult the documentation of dvipdfm (as well, of course, as the package Readme.

dvips (texlive-base)

This package has been withdrawn from CTAN, and bundled into the distributions' package sets. The current sources of dvips may be found in the distribution of dvipsk which forms part of the TeX Live sources.

enctex (texlive-base)

EncTeX is (another) TeX extension, written at the change-file level. It provides means of translating input on the way into TeX. It allows, for example, translation of multibyte sequences, such as utf-8 encoding.

etex-pkg (texlive-base)

The package provides support for LaTeX documents to use many of the extensions offered by e-TeX; in particular, it modifies LaTeX's register allocation macros to make use of the extended register range. The etextools package provides macros that make more sophisticated use of e-TeX's facilities.

etex (texlive-base)

An extended version of TeX (which is capable of running as if it were TeX unmodified). E-TeX has been specified by the LaTeX team as the engine for the development of LaTeX 2e, in the immediate future; as a result, LaTeX programmers may (in all current TeX distributions) assume e-TeX functionality. Development versions of e-TeX are to be found in the TeX live source repository.

glyphlist (texlive-base)

gsftopk (texlive-base)

Designed for use with xdvi and dvips this utility converts Adobe Type 1 fonts to PK bitmap format. It should not ordinarily be much used nowadays, since both its target applications are now capable of dealing with Type 1 fonts, direct.

hyph-utf8 (texlive-base)

Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc). The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF- 8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for Knuthian-style TeX systems are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns.

hyphen-base (texlive-base)

ifluatex (texlive-base)

The package looks for LuaTeX regardless of its mode and provides the switch ifluatex; it works with Plain TeX or LaTeX. The package is part of the oberdiek bundle.

ifxetex (texlive-base)

A simple package which provides an ifxetex conditional, so that other code can determine that it is running under XeTeX. The package requires the e-TeX extensions to the TeX primitive set.

knuth-lib (texlive-base)

A collection of miscellaneous MetaFont source, including the means to generate the logo font that is used for MetaFont and MetaPost.

knuth-local (texlive-base)

A collection of experimental programs and developments based on, or complementary to, the matter in his distribution directories.

kpathsea (texlive-base)

Kpathsea is a library and utility programs which provide path searching facilities for TeX file types, including the self- locating feature required for movable installations, layered on top of a general search mechanism. It is not distributed separately, but rather is released and maintained as part of the TeX live sources.

lua-alt-getopt (texlive-base)

lua_altgetopt is a MIT-licensed module for Lua, for processing application arguments in the same way as BSD/GNU getopt_long(3) functions do. This module is made available for lua script writers to have consistent command line parsing routines.

luatex (texlive-base)

LuaTeX is an extended version of pdfTeX using Lua as an embedded scripting language. The LuaTeX project's main objective is to provide an open and configurable variant of TeX while at the same time offering downward compatibility. LuaTeX uses Unicode (as UTF-8) as its default input encoding, and is able to use modern (OpenType) fonts (for both text and mathematics). It should be noted that LuaTeX is still under development; its specification has been declared stable, but absolute stability may not in practice be assumed. Source code is available from ctan:/systems/texlive/source.

makeindex (texlive-base)

The package contains the development sources of makeindex, as derived from the texlive subversion repository.

metafont (texlive-base)

The program takes a semi-algorithmic specification of a font, and produces a bitmap font (whose properties are defined by a set of parameters of the target device), and a set metrics for use by TeX. The bitmap output may be converted into a format directly usable by a device driver, etc., by the tools provided in the parallel mfware distribution. (Third parties have developed tools to convert the bitmap output to outline fonts.) The distribution includes the source of Knuth's Metafont book; this source is there to read, as an example of writing TeX -- it should not be processed without Knuth's direct permission.

mflogo (texlive-base)

LaTeX package and font definition file to access the Knuthian mflogo fonts described in 'The Metafontbook' and to typeset Metafont logos in LaTeX documents.

mfware (texlive-base)

A collection of programs (as web source) for processing the output of Metafont.

pdftex (texlive-base)

An extension of TeX which can be configured to directly generate PDF documents instead of DVI. All current free TeX distributions including TeX live, MacTeX and MiKTeX include pdfTeX (Plain TeX) and pdfLaTeX (LaTeX). ConTeXt was designed around use of pdfTeX (though it is now migrating towards LuaTeX).

plain (texlive-base)

Contains files used to build the Plain TeX format, as described in the TeXbook, together with various supporting files (some also discussed in the book).

synctex (texlive-base)

tetex (texlive-base)

teTeX was a comprehensive distribution of TeX, LaTeX and family, designed for ease of compilation, installation and customisation. In 2006, Thomas Esser announced he would no longer be able to support, or to produce new versions of, teTeX. With the appearance of TeX live 2007 (whose Unix-system TeX support originally derived from teTeX), no-one should be using teTeX at all, in new applications. One of the "schemes" available when installing TeX live provides a configuration very close to that of the old teTeX, but using modern versions of programs and packages.

tex (texlive-base)

TeX is a typesetting system that incorporates a macro processor. A TeX source document specifies or incorporates a number of macro definitions that instruct the TeX engine how to typeset the document. The TeX engine also uses font metrics generated by Metafont, or by any of several other mechanisms that incorporate fonts from other sources into an environment suitable for TeX. TeX has been, and continues, a basis and an inspiration for several other programs, including e-TeX and PDFTeX. The distribution includes the source of Knuth's TeX book; this source is there to read, as an example of writing TeX -- it should not be processed without Knuth's direct permission.

texconfig (texlive-base)

texlive-docindex (texlive-base)

These files are regenerated as needed, which is often, so we make them a separate package. See the tl-update-auto script for the process.

texlive-scripts (texlive-base)

Includes install-tl, tl-portable, rungs, etc.; not needed for tlmgr to run but still ours. Not included in tlcritical.

texlive.infra (texlive-base)

This package contains the files needed to get the TeX Live tools (notably tlmgr) running: perl modules, xz binaries, plus (sometimes) tar and wget. These files end up in the standalone install packages, and in the tlcritical repository.

xdvi (texlive-base)

The canonical previewer for use on Unix and other X-windows based systems. The distribution has been integrated with that of xdvik (no longer separately available), so that it will build with web2c "out of the box". In practice, it is usually distributed via Tex-live.

ae (tl-latex)

A set of virtual fonts which emulates T1 coded fonts using the standard CM fonts. The package name, AE fonts, supposedly stands for "Almost European". The main use of the package was to produce PDF files using Adobe Type 1 versions of the CM fonts instead of bitmapped EC fonts. Note that direct substitutes for the bitmapped EC fonts are now available, via the CM-super, Latin Modern and (in a restricted way) CM-LGC font sets.

amscls (tl-latex)

This bundle contains three AMS classes, amsart (for writing articles for the AMS), amsbook (for books) and amsproc (for proceedings), together with some supporting material. The material is made available as part of the AMS-LaTeX distribution.

amsmath (tl-latex)

The package provides the principal packages in the AMS-LaTeX distribution. It adapts for use in LaTeX most of the mathematical features found in AMS-TeX; it is highly recommendsd as an adjunct to serious mathematical typesetting in LaTeX. When amsmath is loaded, AMS-LaTeX packages amsbsy (for bold symbols), amsopn (for operator names) and amstext (for text embdedded in mathematics) are also loaded. Amsmath is part of the LaTeX required distribution; however, several contributed packages add still further to its appeal; examples are empheq, which provides functions for decorating and highlighting mathematics, and ntheorem, for specifying theorem (and similar) definitions.

babel-english (tl-latex)

The package provides the language definition file for support of English in babel. Care is taken to select british hyphenation patterns for British English and Australian text, and default ('american') patterns for Canadian and USA text.

babel (tl-latex)

The package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other) rules, and hyphenation patterns for a wide range of languages. A document may select a single language to be supported, or it may select several, in which case the document may switch from one language to another in a variety of ways. Babel uses contributed configuration files that provide the detail of what has to be done for each language. Users of XeTeX are advised to use polyglossia rather than Babel.

babelbib (tl-latex)

This package enables to generate multilingual bibliographies in cooperation with babel. Two approaches are possible: Each citation may be written in another language, or the whole bibliography can be typeset in a language chosen by the user. In addition, the package supports commands to change the typography of the bibliographies.

carlisle (tl-latex)

Many of David Carlisle's more substantial packages stand on their own, or as part of the LaTeX tools set; this set contains: Making dotless 'j' characters for fonts that don't have them; Fix marks in 2-column output; A method for combining the capabilities of longtable and tabularx; A proforma for building personalised LaTeX formats; A jiffy to suppress page numbers; An environment for including Plain TeX in LaTeX documents; A jiffy to remove counters from other counters' reset lists; A package to rescale fonts to arbitrary sizes; A jiffy to create 'slashed' characters for physicists; and An environment for including HTML in LaTeX documents.

colortbl (tl-latex)

The package allows rows and columns to be coloured, and even individual cells.

fancyhdr (tl-latex)

The package provides extensive facilities, both for constructing headers and footers, and for controlling their use (for example, at times when LaTeX would automatically change the heading style in use).

fix2col (tl-latex)

Fix mark handling so that firstmark is taken from the first column if that column has any marks at all; keep two column floats like figure* in sequence with single column floats like figure.

geometry (tl-latex)

The package provides an easy and flexible user interface to customize page layout, implementing auto-centering and auto- balancing mechanisms so that the users have only to give the least description for the page layout. For example, if you want to set each margin 2cm without header space, what you need is just usepackage[margin=2cm,nohead]{geometry}. The package knows about all the standard paper sizes, so that the user need not know what the nominal 'real' dimensions of the paper are, just its standard name (such as a4, letter, etc.). An important feature is the package's ability to communicate the paper size it's set up to the output (whether via DVI specials or via direct interaction with PDF(La)TeX).

graphics (tl-latex)

The package was designed to accommodate all needs for inclusion of graphics in LaTeX documents, replacing many earlier packages used in LaTeX 2.09. The package aims to give a consistent interface to including the file types that are understood in your output, by use of 'printer drivers' (now known, simply, as 'drivers'). The distribtion of the package contains several drivers, but others (for example, pdfTeX) are distributed separately. The package also offers several means of manipulating graphics in the course of inserting them into a document (for example, rotation and scaling). For extended documentation see epslatex. The package is part of the graphics bundle, which is one of the collections in the LaTeX 'required' set of packages.

hyperref (tl-latex)

The hyperref package is used to handle cross-referencing commands in LaTeX to produce hypertext links in the document. The package provides backends for the special set defined for HyperTeX DVI processors; for embedded pdfmark commands for processing by Acrobat Distiller (dvips and Y&Y's dvipsone); for Y&Y's dviwindo; for PDF control within pdfTeX and dvipdfm; for TeX4ht; and for VTeX's pdf and HTML backends. The package is distributed with the backref and nameref packages, which make use of the facilities of hyperref. The package depends on the author's kvoptions, ltxcmdsand refcount packages.

latex-bin (tl-latex)

LaTeX executables and man pages.

latex-fonts (tl-latex)

This is a collection of fonts for use with standard LaTeX packages and classes. It includes 'invisible' fonts (for use with the slides class), line and circle fonts (for use in the picture environment) and 'LaTeX symbol' fonts. For full support of a LaTeX installation, some Computer Modern font variants cmbsy(6-9), cmcsc(8,9), cmex(7-9) and cmmib(5-9) from the amsfonts distribution, are also necessary. The fonts are available as Metafont source, and metric (tfm) files are also provided. Most of the fonts are also available in Adobe Type 1 format, in the amsfonts distribution.

latex (tl-latex)

LaTeX is a widely-used macro package for TeX, providing many basic document formating commands extended by a wide range of packages. It is a development of Leslie Lamport's LaTeX 2.09, and superseded the older system in June 1994. The basic distribution is catalogued separately, at latex-base; apart from a large set of contributed packages and third-party documentation (elsewhere on the archive), the distribution includes: - a bunch of required packages, which LaTeX authors are "entitled to assume" will be present on any system running LaTeX; and - a minimal set of documentation detailing differences from the 'old' version of LaTeX in the areas of user commands, font selection and control, class and package writing, font encodings, configuration options and modification of LaTeX. For downloading details, see the linked catalogue entries above.

latexconfig (tl-latex)

ltxmisc (tl-latex)

Miscellaneous LaTeX packages, etc.

mfnfss (tl-latex)

This bundle contains two packages: - oldgerm, a package to typeset with old german fonts designed by Yannis Haralambous. - pandora, a package to typeset with Pandora fonts designed by Neena Billawala. Note that support for the Pandora fonts is also available via the pandora-latex package.

mptopdf (tl-latex)

The mptopdf script does standalone conversion from mpost to PDF, using the supp-* and syst-* files. They also allow native MetaPost graphics inclusion in LaTeX (via pdftex.def) and ConTeXt. They can be used independently of the rest of ConTeXt, yet are maintained as part of it. So in TeX Live we pull them out to this separate package for the benefit of LaTeX users who do not install the rest of ConTeXt. This can be found on CTAN in macros/pdftex/graphics.

natbib (tl-latex)

The bundle provides a package that implements both author-year and numbered references, as well as much detailed of support for other bibliography use. Also Provided are versions of the standard BibTeX styles that are compatible with natbib-- plainnat, unsrtnat, abbrnat. The bibliography styles produced by custom-bib are designed from the start to be compatible with natbib.

oberdiek (tl-latex)

The bundle comprises packages to provide: accsupp: better accessibility support for PDF files; aliascnt: 'alias counters'; alphalph: multiple-alphabetic counting (a...z,aa...zz,... -- up to the full extent of a TeX counter);

Each of the packages is represented by two files, a .dtx (documented source) and a PDF file; the .ins file necessary for installation is extracted by running the .dtx file with Plain TeX.

pdftex-def (tl-latex)

The file pdftex.def provides device-specific definitions for colour and graphics support when running pdf(La)TeX.

pslatex (tl-latex)

A small package that makes LaTeX default to 'standard' PostScript fonts. It is basically a merger of the times and the (obsolete) mathptm packages from the psnfss suite. You must have installed standard LaTeX and the psnfss PostScript fonts to use this package. The main novel feature is that the pslatex package tries to compensate for the visual differences between the Adobe fonts by scaling Helvetica by 90%, and 'condensing' Courier (i.e. scaling horizontally) by 85%. The package is supplied with a (unix) shell file for a 'pslatex' command that allows standard LaTeX documents to be processed, without needing to edit the file. Note that current psnfss uses a different technique for scaling Helvetica, and treats Courier as a lost cause (there are better free fixed-width available now, than there were when pslatex was designed). As a result, pslatex is widely considered obsolete.

psnfss (tl-latex)

Font definition files, macros and font metrics for freely- available Adobe Type 1 fonts. The font set consists of the 'LaserWriter 35' set (originally 'freely available' because embedded in PostScript printers), and a variety of other free fonts, together with some additions. Note that while many of the fonts are available in PostScript (and other) printers, most publishers require fonts embedded in documents, which requires that you have the fonts in your TeX system. Fortunately, there are free versions of the fonts from URW (available in the URW base5 bundle). The base set of text fonts covered by PSNFSS are: AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, Symbol, Times Roman and Zapf Dingbats. In addition, the fonts Bitstream Charter and Adobe Utopia are covered (those fonts were contributed to the Public Domain by their commercial foundries). Separate packages are provided to load each font for use as main text font. The packages helvet (which allows Helvetica to be loaded with its size scaled to something more nearly appropriate for its use as a Sans-Serif font to match Times) and pifont (which provides the means to select single glyphs from symbol fonts) are tailored to special requirements of their fonts. Mathematics are covered by the mathptmx package, which constructs passable mathematics from a combination of Times Roman, Symbol and some glyphs from Computer Modern, and by Pazo Math (optionally extended with the fpl small-caps and old-style figures fonts) which uses Palatino as base font, with the mathpazo fonts. The bundle as a whole is part of the LaTeX 'required' set of packages.

pspicture (tl-latex)

A replacement for LaTeX's picture macros, that uses PostScript special commands. The package is now largely superseded by pict2e.

tools (tl-latex)

A collection of (variously) simple tools provided as part of the LaTeX required tools distribution, comprising the packages: afterpage, array, bm, calc, dcolumn, delarray, enumerate, fileerr, fontsmpl, ftnright, hhline, indentfirst, layout, longtable, multicol, rawfonts, showkeys, somedefs, tabularx, theorem, trace, varioref, verbatim, xr, and xspace.

url (tl-latex)

The command url is a form of verbatim command that allows linebreaks at certain characters or combinations of characters, accepts reconfiguration, and can usually be used in the argument to another command. (The urldef command provides robust commands that serve in cases when url doesn't work in an argument.) The command is intended for email addresses, hypertext links, directories/paths, etc., which normally have no spaces, so by default the package ignores spaces in its argument. However, a package option "allows spaces", which is useful for operating systems where spaces are a common part of file names.

checkcites (tl-luatex)

The package provides a lua script written for the sole purpose of detecting undefined and unused references from LaTeX auxiliary or bibliography files.

chickenize (tl-luatex)

The package allows manipulations of any LuaTeX document (it is known to work with Plain LuaTeX and LuaLaTeX). Most of the package's functions are merely for fun or educational use, but some functions (for example, colorstretch for visualising the badness and font expansion of each line, and letterspaceadjust doing what its name says) could be useful in a "normal" LuaTeX document.

cloze (tl-luatex)

This is a LuaLaTeX package for generating cloze texts. The main feature of the package is that the formatting doesn't change when using the hide and show options. There are three commands and one environment to generate cloze texts: cloze, clozefix, closefil, and closepar.

enigma (tl-luatex)

The package provides historical encryption (Enigma cipher) for LuaTeX-based formats.

interpreter (tl-luatex)

The package preprocesses input files to a Lua(La)TeX run, on the fly. The user defines Lua regular expressions to search for patterns and modify input lines (or entire paragraphs) accordingly, before TeX reads the material. In this way, documents may be prepared in a non-TeX language (e.g., some lightweight markup language) and turned into 'proper' TeX for processing. The source of the documentation is typed in such a lightweight language and is thus easily readable in a text editor (the PDF file is also available, of course); the transformation to TeX syntax via Interpreter's functions is explained in the documentation itself. Interpreter is implemented using the author's gates (lua version), and works for plain TeX and LaTeX, but not ConTeXt.

lua-check-hyphen (tl-luatex)

The package looks at all hyphenation breaks in the document, comparing them against a white-list prepared by the author. If a hyphenation break is found, for which there is no entry in the white-list, the package flags the line where the break starts. The author may then either add the hyphenation to the white-list, or adjust the document to avoid the break.

lua-visual-debug (tl-luatex)

The package uses lua code to provide visible indications of boxes, glues, kerns and penalties in the PDF output. The package is known to work in LaTeX and Plain TeX documents.

lua2dox (tl-luatex)

The package extends the well-known C-like language autodoc tool, doxygen, to read and document lua code. In use, you edit and test your code and periodically run the autodoc tool to update the documentation, which may be viewed via an html browser. Autodoc tools can read the code well enough to find function/... declarations and document them. If the code also contains appropriatly formatted "magic comments", the tool can use them to supplement the documentation. The package is a first prototype of a planned TeX2DoX tool (in development), which will process joint (La)TeX/lua documents.

luabibentry (tl-luatex)

The package reimplements bibentry, for use in LuaLaTeX.

luabidi (tl-luatex)

The package attempts to emulate the XeTeX bidi package, in teh context of LuaTeX.

luacode (tl-luatex)

Executing Lua code from within TeX with directlua can sometimes be tricky: there is no easy way to use the percent character, counting backslashes may be hard, and Lua comments don't work the way you expect. The package provides the luaexec command and the luacode(*) environments to help with these problems.

luaindex (tl-luatex)

Luaindex provides (yet another) index processor, written in Lua.

luainputenc (tl-luatex)

LuaTeX operates by default in UTF-8 input; thus LaTeX documents that need 8-bit character-sets need special treatment. (In fact, LaTeX documents using UTF-8 with "traditional" -- 256- glyph -- fonts also need support from this package.) The package, therefore, replaces the LaTeX standard inputenc for use under LuaTeX. With a current LuaTeX,the package has the same behaviour with LuaTeX as inputenc has under pdfTeX.

luaintro (tl-luatex)

The bundle provides source of all the examples published in the German book "Einfuhrung in LuaTeX und LuaLaTeX", published by Lehmans Media and DANTE, Berlin.

lualatex-doc (tl-luatex)

The document is a map/guide to the world of LuaLaTeX. Coverage supports both new users and package developers. Apart from the introductory material, the document gathers information from several sources, and offers links to others.

lualatex-math (tl-luatex)

The package patches a few commands of the LaTeX2e kernel and the amsmath and mathtools packages to be more compatible with the LuaTeX engine. It is only meaningful for LuaLaTeX documents containing mathematical formulas, and does not exhibit any new functionality. The fixes are mostly moved from the unicode-math package to this package since they are not directly related to Unicode mathematics typesetting.

lualibs (tl-luatex)

Lualibs is a collection of Lua modules useful for general programming. The bundle is based on lua modules shipped with ConTeXt, and are made available in this bundle for use independent of ConTeXt.

luamplib (tl-luatex)

The package enables the user to specify MetaPost diagrams (which may include colour specifications from the color or xcolor packages) into a document, using LuaTeX's built-in MetaPost library. The facility is only available in PDF mode.

luaotfload (tl-luatex)

The package adopts the TrueType/OpenType Font loader code provided in ConTeXt, and adapts it to use in Plain TeX and LaTeX. It works under LuaLaTeX only.

luasseq (tl-luatex)

The package is an update of the author's sseq package, for use with LuaLaTeX. This version uses less memory, and operates faster than the original; it also offers several enhancements.

luatexbase (tl-luatex)

The bundle provides basic facilities for LuaTeX macro programmers, mostly resource allocation and convenience packages. Provided are: luatexbase-attr: attribute allocation; luatexbase-cctb: catcode table allocation; luatexbase-compat: compatibility helpers; luatexbase-loader: Lua module loading; luatexbase-modutils: Lua module declaration; luatexbase-mcb: callbacks extension; and luatexbase-regs: allocation of registers and the like. In addition, the (unadorned) luatexbase package loads all the above in one fell swoop.

luatexko (tl-luatex)

This is a Lua(La)TeX macro package that supports typesetting Korean documents. LuaTeX version 0.76+ and luaotfload package version 2.2+ are required. This package also requires both cjk- ko and xetexko packages for its full functionality.

luatextra (tl-luatex)

The package provides a coherent extended programming environment for use with luaTeX. It loads packages fontspec, luatexbase and lualibs, and provides additional user-level features and goodies. The package is under development, and its specification may be expected to change.

luatodonotes (tl-luatex)

The package allows the user to insert comments into a document that suggest (for example) further editing that may be needed. The comments are shown in the margins alongside the text; different styles for the comments may be used; the styles are selected using package options. The package is based on the package todonotes, and depends heavily on Lua, so it can only be used with LuaLaTeX.

luaxml (tl-luatex)

This is a redistribution of a pure lua xml library, LuaXML (this version supports Lua 5.2). The library was originally distributed as part of the odsfile package, but is made available separately in the hope that it can be useful for other projects.

odsfile (tl-luatex)

The distribution includes a package and a lua library that can together read OpenDocument spreadsheet documents as LaTeX tables. Cells in the tables may be processed by LaTeX macros, so that (for example) the package may be used for drawing some plots. The package uses lua's zip library.

placeat (tl-luatex)

The package provides commands so that the user of LuaLaTeX may position arbitrary content at any position specified by absolute coordinates on the page. The package draws a grid on each page of the document, to aid positioning (the grid may be disabled, for 'final copy' using the command placeatsetup).

selnolig (tl-luatex)

The package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned in the TeXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelf/ful rather than as shel{ff}ul. For English and German language documents, the package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called "common" ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while exceptions are made for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression macros for a number of so-called "discretionary" or "rare" ligatures such as ct, st, and sp. The package requires use of a recent LuaLaTeX format (for example those from TeX Live 2012 or 2013, or MiKTeX 2.9).

showhyphens (tl-luatex)

With this package, LuaLaTeX will indicate all possible hyphenations in the printed output.

spelling (tl-luatex)

The package aids spell-checking of TeX documents compiled with the LuaTeX engine. It can give visual feedback in PDF output similar to WYSIWYG word processors. The package relies on an external spell-checker application to check spelling of a text file and to output a list of bad spellings. The package should work with most spell-checkers, even dumb, TeX-unaware ones.

ucharcat (tl-luatex)

The package implements the Ucharcat command for LuaLaTeX. Ucharcat is a new primitive in XeTeX, an extension of the existing Uchar command, that allows the specification of the catcode as well as character code of the character token being constructed.

arabxetex (tl-xetex)

ArabXeTeX provides a convenient ArabTeX-like user-interface for typesetting languages using the Arabic script in XeLaTeX, with flexible access to font features. Input in ArabTeX notation can be set in three different vocalization modes or in roman transliteration. Direct UTF-8 input is also supported. The parsing and converting of ArabTeX input to Unicode is done by means of TECkit mappings. Version 1.0 provides support for Arabic, Maghribi Arabic, Farsi (Persian), Urdu, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Ottoman Turkish, Kurdish, Jawi (Malay) and Uighur. The documentation covers topics such as typesetting the Holy Quran and typesetting bidirectional critical editions with the package ednotes.

bidi-atbegshi (tl-xetex)

The package adds some commands to the atbegshi package for proper placement of background material in the left and right corners of the output page, in both LTR and RTL modes. The package only works with xelatex format and should be loaded before the bidi package.

bidicontour (tl-xetex)

The package is a re-implementation of the contour package, making it bidi-aware, and adding support of the xdvipdfmx (when the outline option of the package is used).

bidipagegrid (tl-xetex)

The package is based on pagegrid.

bidipresentation (tl-xetex)

A great portion of the code is borrowed from the texpower bundle, with modifications to get things working properly in both right to left and left to right modes.

bidishadowtext (tl-xetex)

This package allows you to typeset Bidi-aware shadow text. It is a re-implementation of the shadowtext package adding bidi support.

fixlatvian (tl-xetex)

The package offers improvement of the Latvian language support in polyglossia, in particular in the area of the standard classes.

fontbook (tl-xetex)

The package provides a means of producing a 'book' of font samples (for evaluation, etc.).

fontwrap (tl-xetex)

The package (which runs under XeLaTeX) lets you bind fonts to specific unicode blocks, for automatic font tagging of multilingual text. The package uses Perl (via perltex) to construct its tables.

interchar (tl-xetex)

The package manages character class schemes of XeTeX. Using this package, you may switch among different character class schemes. Migration commands are provided for make packages using this mechanism compatible with each others.

mathspec (tl-xetex)

The mathspec package provides an interface to typeset mathematics in XeLaTeX with arbitrary text fonts using fontspec as a backend. The package is under development and later versions might to be incompatible with this version, as this version is incompatible with earlier versions. The package requires at least version 0.9995 of XeTeX.

philokalia (tl-xetex)

The philokalia package has been designed to ease the use of the Philokalia-Regular OpenType font with XeLaTeX. The font started as a project to digitize the typeface used to typeset the Philokalia books.

polyglossia (tl-xetex)

This package provides a complete Babel replacement for users of LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX; it relies on the fontspec package, version 2.0 at least. This is the first release that supports use with LuaLaTeX; it should be considered "transitional" in that role.

ptext (tl-xetex)

The package provides lipsum-like facilities for the Persian language. The source of the filling text is the Persian epic "the Shanameh" (100 paragraphs are used.) The package needs to be run under XeLaTeX.

quran (tl-xetex)

This package offers the user an easy way to typeset The Holy Quran. It has been inspired by the lipsum and ptext packages and provides several macros for typesetting the whole or any part of Quran based on its popular division. Available macros are: quransurah, quranayah, quranjuz, quranhizb, quranquarter, quranpage, qurantext, surahname, basmalah. The package only works with the "xelatex" format and should be loaded before the bidi package.

realscripts (tl-xetex)

This small package replaces textsuperscript and textsubscript commands by equivalent commands that use OpenType font features to access appropriate glyphs if possible. The package also patches LaTeX's default footnote command to use this new textsuperscript for footnote symbols. The package requires fontspec running on either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. The package holds functions that were once parts of the xltxtra package, which now loads realscripts by default.

ucharclasses (tl-xetex)

The package takes care of switching fonts when you switch from one Unicode block to another in the text of a document. This way, you can write a document with no explicit font selection, but a series of rules of the form "when entering block ..., switch font to use ...".

unisugar (tl-xetex)

The package allows the user to define shorthand aliases for single Unicode characters, and also provides support for such aliases in RTL-text. The package requires an TeX-alike system that uses Unicode input in a native way: current examples are XeTeX and LuaTeX.

xebaposter (tl-xetex)

This package is designed for making beautiful scientific Persian/Latin posters. It is a fork of baposter by Brian Amberg and Reinhold Kainhofer available at http://www.brian- amberg.de/uni/poster/. baposter's users should be able to compile their poster using xebaposter (instead of baposter) without any problem.

xecjk (tl-xetex)

A LaTeX package for typesetting CJK documents in the way users have become used to, in the CJK package. The package requires a current version of xtemplate (and hence of the current LaTeX 3 development environment).

xecolor (tl-xetex)

This is a simple package which defines about 140 different colours using XeTeX's colour feature. The colours can be used in bidirectional texts without any problem.

xecyr (tl-xetex)

Helper tools for using Cyrillic languages with XeLaTeX and babel.

xeindex (tl-xetex)

The package is based on XeSearch, and will automatically index words or phrases in an XeLaTeX document. Words are declared in a list, and every occurrence then creates an index entry whose content can be fully specified beforehand.

xepersian (tl-xetex)

The package supports Persian typesetting.

xesearch (tl-xetex)

The package finds strings (e.g. (parts of) words or phrases) and manipulates them (apply any macro), thus turning each word or phrase into a possible command. It is written in plain XeTeX and should thus work with any format (it is known to work with LaTeX and ConTeXt). The main application for the moment is XeIndex, an automatic index for XeLaTeX, but examples are given of simple use to check spelling, count words, and highlight syntax of programming languages.

xespotcolor (tl-xetex)

The package provides macros for using spot colours in LaTeX documents. The package is a reimplementation of the spotcolor package for use with XeLaTeX. As such, it has the same user interface and the same capabilities.

xetex-def (tl-xetex)

The file xetex.def provides device-specific definitions for colour and graphics support when running Xe(La)TeX

xetex-itrans (tl-xetex)

The package provides maps for use with XeLaTeX with coding done using itrans. Fontspec maps are provided for Devanagari (Sanskrit), for Sanskrit in Kannada and for Kannada itself.

xetex-pstricks (tl-xetex)

The package provides an indirection scheme for XeTeX to use the pstricks xdvipdfmx.cfg configuration file, so that XeTeX documents will load it in preference to the standard pstricks.con configuration file. With this configuration, many PSTricks features can be used in xelatex or plain xetex documents.

xetex-tibetan (tl-xetex)

The package provides a map for use with Jonathan Kew's TECkit, to translate Tibetan to Unicode (range 0F00-0FFF).

xetex (tl-xetex)

See http://tug.org/xetex.

xetexconfig (tl-xetex)

unicode-letters, and special crop.cfg and hyperref.cfg for XeTeX.

xetexfontinfo (tl-xetex)

A pair of documents to reveal the font features supported by fonts usable in XeTeX. Use OpenType-info.tex for OpenType fonts, and AAT-info.tex for AAT fonts (Mac OS X only).

xetexko (tl-xetex)

The package supports typesetting Korean documents (including old Hangul texts), using XeTeX. It enhances the existing support, in XeTeX, providing features that provide quality typesetting.

xevlna (tl-xetex)

The package will directly insert nonbreakable spaces (in Czech, vlna or vlnka), after nonsyllabic prepositions and single letter conjuctions, while the document is being typeset. (The macros recognised maths and verbatim by TeX means.) (Inserting nonbreakable spaces by a preprocessor will probably never be fully reliable, because user defined macros and environments cannot reliably be recognised.) The package works both with (Plain) XeTeX and with XeLaTeX.

xltxtra (tl-xetex)

The package loads the fixltx2e package from the LaTeX distribution, and etex.sty from the e-TeX distribution. The package then patches the - (discretionary hyphen command) to use the current hyphen character (which may be different from than the default, which is the character at the ASCII hyphen slot), and loads the realscripts to patch the textsuperscript command (from the LaTeX kernel) and the textsubscript command (from the fixltx2e package). The package is loaded by the fontspec package, so that it should not ordinarily be necessary to load it explicitly. The package relies on the metalogo package for typesetting the XeTeX and XeLaTeX logos.

xunicode (tl-xetex)

The package supports XeTeX's (and other putative future similar engines') need for Unicode characters, in a similar way to what the fontenc does for 8-bit (and the like) fonts: convert accent- glyph sequence to a single Unicode character for output. The package also covers glyphs specified by packages (such as tipa) which define many commands for single text glyphs.

automata (tl-metapost)

The package offers a collection of macros for MetaPost to make easier to draw finite-state machines, automata, labelled graphs, etc. The user defines nodes, which may be isolated or arranged into matrices or trees; edges connect pairs of nodes through arbitrary paths. Parameters, that specify the shapes of nodes and the styles of edges, may be adjusted.

bbcard (tl-metapost)

Three jiffy packages for creating cards of various sorts with MetaPost.

blockdraw_mp (tl-metapost)

A set of simple MetaPost macros for the task. While the task is not itself difficult to program, it is felt that many users will be happy to have a library for the job..

bpolynomial (tl-metapost)

This MetaPost package helps plotting polynomial and root functions up to order three. The package provides macros to calculate Bezier curves exactly matching a given constant, linear, quadratic or cubic polynomial, or square or cubic root function. In addition, tangents on all functions and derivatives of polynomials can be calculated.

cmarrows (tl-metapost)

This MetaPost package contains macros to draw arrows and braces in the Computer Modern style.

drv (tl-metapost)

A set of MetaPost macros for typesetting derivation trees (such as used in sequent calculus, type inference, programming language semantics...). No MetaPost knowledge is needed to use these macros.

dviincl (tl-metapost)

DVItoMP is one of the auxiliary programs available to any MetaPost package; it converts a DVI file into a MetaPost file. Using it, one can envisage including a DVI page into an EPS files generated by MetaPost. Such files allow pages to include other pages.

emp (tl-metapost)

Emp is a package for encapsulating MetaPost figures in LaTeX: the package provides environments where you can place MetaPost commands, and means of using that code as fragments for building up figures to include in your document. So, with emp, the procedure is to run your document with LaTeX, run MetaPost, and then complete running your document in the normal way. Emp is therefore useful for keeping illustrations in synchrony with the text. It also frees you from inventing descriptive names for PostScript files that fit into the confines of file system conventions.

epsincl (tl-metapost)

The package facilitates including EPS files in MetaPost figures; it makes use of (G)AWK.

expressg (tl-metapost)

A MetaPost package providing facilities to assist in drawing diagrams that consist of boxes, lines, and annotations. Particular support is provided for creating EXPRESS-G diagrams, for example IDEF1X, OMT, Shlaer-Mellor, and NIAM diagrams. The package may also be used to create UML and most other Box-Line- Annotation charts, but not Gantt charts directly.

exteps (tl-metapost)

Exteps is a module for including external EPS figures into MetaPost figures. It is written entirely in MetaPost, and does not therefore require any post processing of the MetaPost output.

featpost (tl-metapost)

These macros allow the production of three-dimensional schemes containing: angles, circles, cylinders, cones and spheres, among other things.

feynmf (tl-metapost)

The feynmf package provides an interface to Metafont (inspired by the facilities of mfpic) to use simple structure specifications to produce relatively complex diagrams. (The feynmp package, also part of this bundle, uses MetaPost in the same way.) While the package was designed for Feynman diagrams, it could in principle be used for diagrams in graph and similar theories, where the structure is semi-algorithmically determined.

feynmp-auto (tl-metapost)

The package takes care of running Metapost on the output files produced by the feynmp package, so that the compiled pictures will be available in the next run of LaTeX. The package honours options that apply to feynmp.

garrigues (tl-metapost)

Metapost macros for the reproduction of Garrigues' Easter nomogram. These macros are described in Denis Roegel: An introduction to nomography: Garrigues' nomogram for the computation of Easter, TUGboat (volume 30, number 1, 2009, pages 88-104)

gmp (tl-metapost)

The package allows integration between MetaPost pictures and LaTeX. The main feature is that passing parameters to the MetaPost pictures is possible and the picture code can be put inside arguments to commands, including newcommand.

hatching (tl-metapost)

The file hatching.mp contains a set of MetaPost macros for hatching interior of closed paths. Examples of usage are included.

latexmp (tl-metapost)

The MetaPost package latexMP implements a user-friendly interface to access LaTeX-based typesetting capabilities in MetaPost. The text to be typeset is given as string. This allows even dynamic text elements, for example counters, to be used in labels. Compared to other implementations it is much more flexible, since it can be used as direct replacement for btex..etex, and much faster, compared for example to the solution provided by tex.mp

mcf2graph (tl-metapost)

The Molecular Coding Format (MCF) is a linear notation for describing chemical structure diagrams. This package converts MCF to graphic files using Metafont / MetaPost.

metago (tl-metapost)

The package allows you to draw Go game positions with MetaPost. Two methods of usage are provided, either using the package programmatically, or using the package via a script (which may produce several images).

metaobj (tl-metapost)

METAOBJ is a large metapost package providing high-level objects. It implements many of PSTricks' features for node connections, but also trees, matrices, and many other things. It more or less contains boxes.mp and rboxes.mp. There is a large (albeit not complete) documentation distributed with the package. It is easily extensible with new objects.

metaplot (tl-metapost)

MetaPlot is a set of Metapost macros for manipulating pre- generated plots (and similar objects), and formatting them for inclusion in a Metapost figure. The intent is that the plots can be generated by some outside program, in an abstract manner that does not require making decisions about on-page sizing and layout, and then they can be imported into MetaPlot and arranged using the full capabilities of Metapost. Metaplot also includes a very flexible set of macros for generating plot axes, which may be useful in other contexts as well. Presently, MetaPlot is in something of a pre-release beta state; it is quite functional, but the syntax of the commands is still potentially in flux.

metapost (tl-metapost)

MetaPost uses a language based on that of Metafont to produce precise technical illustrations. Its output is scalable PostScript or SVG, rather than the bitmaps Metafont creates.

metauml (tl-metapost)

MetaUML is a MetaPost library for typesetting UML diagrams, which provides a usable, human-friendly textual notation for UML, offering now support for class, package, activity, state, and use case diagrams.

mfpic (tl-metapost)

Mfpic is a scheme for producing pictures from (La)TeX commands. Commands mfpic and endmfpic (in LaTeX, the mfpic environment) enclose a group in which drawing commands may be placed. The commands generate a Meta-language file, which may be processed by Metapost (or even Metafont). The resulting image file will be read back in to the document to place the picture at the point where the original (La)TeX commands appeared. Note that the ability to use Metapost here means that the package works equally well in LaTeX and PDFLaTeX.

mfpic4ode (tl-metapost)

The package is a small set of macros for drawing direction fields, phase portraits and trajectories of differential equations and two dimensional autonomous systems. The Euler, Runge-Kutta and 4th order Runge-Kutta algorithms are available to solve the ODEs. The picture is translated into mfpic macros and MetaPost is used to create the final drawing. The package is was designed for use with LaTeX, but it can be used in plain TeX as well. Online demonstration of the mfpic4ode macros is available on the Mfpic Previewer as Example 6.

mp3d (tl-metapost)

Create animations of 3-dimensional objects (such as polyhedra) in MetaPost.

mpattern (tl-metapost)

A package for defining and using patterns in MetaPost, using the Pattern Color Space available in PostScript Level 2.

mpcolornames (tl-metapost)

The MetaPost format plain.mp provides only five built-in colour names (variables), all of which are defined in the RGB model: red, green and blue for the primary colours and black and white. The package makes more than 500 colour names from different colour sets in different colour models available to MetaPost. Colour sets include X11, SVG, DVIPS and xcolor specifications.

mpgraphics (tl-metapost)

The package allows LaTeX users to typeset MetaPost code inline and display figures in their documents with only and only one run of LaTeX, PDFLaTeX or XelaTeX (no separate runs of mpost). Mpgraphics achieves this by using the shell escape (write 18) feature of current TeX distributions, so that the whole process is automatic and the end user is saved the tiresome processing.

piechartmp (tl-metapost)

The piechartmp package is an easy way to draw pie-charts with MetaPost. The package implements an interface that enables users with little MetaPost experience to draw charts. A highlight of the package is the possibility of suppressing some segments of the chart, thus creating the possibility of several charts from the same data.

repere (tl-metapost)

The package simplifies drawing figures in a coordinate system; the specific target is support of secondary school mathematics.

roex (tl-metapost)

roundrect (tl-metapost)

The roundrect macros for Metapost provide ways to produce rounded rectangles, which may or may not contain a title bar or text (the title bar may itself contain text). They are extremely configurable.

shapes (tl-metapost)

The shapes set of macros allows drawing regular polygons; their corresponding reentrant stars in all their variations; and fractionally filled circles (useful for visually demonstrating the nature of fractions) in Metapost.

slideshow (tl-metapost)

The package provides a means of creating presentations in MetaPost, without intervention from other utilities (except a distiller). Such an arrangement has its advantages (though there are disadvantages too).

splines (tl-metapost)

This is a small package of macros for creating cubic spline interpolants in MetaPost or Metafont. Given a list of points the macros can produce a closed or a relaxed spline joining them. Given a list of function values y_j at x_j, the result would define the graph of a cubic spline interpolating function y=f(x), which is either periodic or relaxed.

suanpan (tl-metapost)

These macros are described in Denis Roegel: MetaPost macros for drawing Chinese and Japanese abaci, TUGboat (volume 30, number 1, 2009, pages 74-79)

textpath (tl-metapost)

This MetaPost package provides macros to typeset text along a free path with the help of LaTeX, thereby preserving kerning and allowing for 8-bit input (accented characters).

threeddice (tl-metapost)

The package provides MetaPost code to create all possible symmetrical views (up to rotation) of a right-handed die. Configuration is possible by editing the source code, following the guidance in the documentation.

aobs-tikz (tl-pictures)

The package defines auxiliary TikZ styles useful for overlaying pictures' elements in Beamer. The TikZ styles are grouped in a library, overlay-beamer-styles which is automatically called by the package itself. Users may either load just aobs-tikz or the library; the latter method necessitates TikZ manual load.

askmaps (tl-pictures)

The package provides 2, 3, 4 and 5 variable Karnaugh maps, in the style used in numerous textbooks on digital design. The package draws K-maps where the most significant input variables are placed on top of the columns and the least significant variables are placed left of the rows.

asyfig (tl-pictures)

The package provides a means of reading Asymptote figures from separate files, rather than within the document, as is standard in the asymptote package, which is provided as part of the Asymptote bundle. The asymptote way can prove cumbersome in a large document; the present package allows the user to process one picture at a time, in simple test documents, and then to migrate (with no fuss) to their use in the target document.

asypictureb (tl-pictures)

The package is an unofficial alternative to the package provided with the Asymptote distribution, for including pictures within a LaTeX source file. While it does not duplicate all the features of the official package, this package is more user-friendly in several ways. Most notably, Asymptote errors are repackaged as LaTeX errors, making debugging less of a pain. It also has a more robust mechanism for identifying unchanged pictures that need not be recompiled.

autoarea (tl-pictures)

This package makes PiCTeX recognize lines and arcs in determining the "bounding box" of a picture. (PiCTeX so far accounted for put commands only). The "bounding box" is essential for proper placement of a picture between running text and margins and for keeping the running text away.

bardiag (tl-pictures)

The main purpose of the package is to make the drawing of bar diagrams possible and easy in LaTeX. The BarDiag package is inspired by and based on PSTricks.

blochsphere (tl-pictures)

This package is used to draw pseudo-3D Blochsphere diagrams. It supports various annotations, such as great and small circles, axes, rotation markings and state vectors. It can be used in a standalone fashion, or nested within a tikzpicture environment by setting the environment option nested to true.

bloques (tl-pictures)

The package uses TikZ to provide commands for generating control diagrams (specially in power electronics).

blox (tl-pictures)

This package, along with TikZ, will typeset block diagrams for use with programming and control theory. It is an English translation of the schemabloc package.

bodegraph (tl-pictures)

The package provides facilities to draw Bode, Nyquist and Black plots using Gnuplot and Tikz. Elementary Transfer Functions and basic correctors are preprogrammed for use.

bondgraph (tl-pictures)

The package draws bond graphs using PGF and TikZ.

bondgraphs (tl-pictures)

The package is used to draw bond graphs in LaTeX. It uses a recent version (3.0+) of PGF and TikZ for the drawing, hence, it is mainly a set of TikZ styles that makes the drawing of bond graphs easier. Compared to the bondgraph package this package relies more on TikZ styles and less on macros, to generate the drawings. As such it can be more flexible than his, but requires more TikZ knowledge of the user.

braids (tl-pictures)

The package enables drawing of braid diagrams with PGF/TikZ using a simple syntax. The braid itself is specified by giving a word in the braid group, and there are many options for styling the strands and for drawing "floors".

bxeepic (tl-pictures)

The package provides an eepic driver to use pict2e facilities.

cachepic (tl-pictures)

The bundle simplifies and automates conversion of document fragments into external EPS or PDF files. The bundle consists of two parts: a LaTeX package that implements a document level interface, and a command line tool (written in lua) that generates the external graphics.

celtic (tl-pictures)

The package provides a TikZ library for drawing celtic knots.

chemfig (tl-pictures)

The package provides the command chemfig{<code>}, which draws molecules using the tikz package. The <code> argument provides instructions for the drawing operation. While the diagrams produced are essentially 2-dimensional, the package supports many of the conventional notations for illustrating the 3- dimensional layout of a molecule. The package uses TikZ for its actual drawing operations.

circuitikz (tl-pictures)

The package provides a set of macros for naturally typesetting electrical and (somewhat less naturally, perhaps) electronic networks. It is designed as a tool that is easy to use, with a lean syntax, native to LaTeX, and directly supporting PDF output format. So is based on the very impressive pgf/TikZ package.

combinedgraphics (tl-pictures)

This package provides a macro (includecombinedgraphics) for the inclusion of combined EPS/LaTeX and PDF/LaTeX graphics (an export format of Gnuplot, Xfig, and maybe other programs). Instead of including the graphics with a simple input, the includecombinedgraphics macro has some comforts: changing the font and color of the text of the LaTeX part; rescaling the graphics without affecting the font of the LaTeX part; automatic inclusion of the vector graphics part, as far as LaTeX part does not do it (e.g., for files exported from Gnuplot before version 4.2); and rescaling and rotating of complete graphics (similar to includegraphics from the graphicx package).

curve (tl-pictures)

CurVe is a class for writing a CV, with configuration for the language in which you write. The class provides a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe then format the CV (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV 'flavours' simultaneously. It is often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for use with AUC-TeX.

curve2e (tl-pictures)

The package extends the drawing capacities of the pict2e that serves as a LaTeX 2e replacement for picture mode. In particular, curve2e introduces new macros for lines and vectors, new specifications for line terminations and joins, arcs with any angular aperture, arcs with arrows at one or both ends, generic curves specified with their nodes and the tangent direction at these nodes.

curves (tl-pictures)

The draws curves in the standard LaTeX picture environment using parabolas between data points with continuous slope at joins; for circles and arcs, it uses up to 16 parabolas. The package also draws symbols or dash patterns along curves. The package provides facilities equivalent to technical pens with compasses and French curves. Curves consist of short secants drawn by overlapping disks or line-drawing special commands selected by package options.

dcpic (tl-pictures)

DCpic is a package for typesetting Commutative Diagrams within a LaTeX and TeX documents. Its distinguishing features are: a powerful graphical engine, the PiCTeX package; an easy specification syntax in which a commutative diagram is described in terms of its objects and its arrows (morphism), positioned in a Cartesian coordinate system.

diagmac2 (tl-pictures)

This is a development of the long-established diagmac package, using pict2e so that the restrictions on line direction are removed.

doc-pictex (tl-pictures)

A summary of available resources providing (or merely discussing) documentation of PicTeX.

dot2texi (tl-pictures)

The dot2texi package allows you to embed graphs in the DOT graph description language in your LaTeX documents. The dot2tex tool is used to invoke Graphviz for graph layout, and to transform the output from Graphviz to LaTeX code. The generated code relies on the TikZ and PGF package or the PSTricks package. The process is automated if shell escape is enabled.

dottex (tl-pictures)

The dottex package allows you to encapsulate 'dot' and 'neato' files in your document (dot and neato are both part of graphviz; dot creates directed graphs, neato undirected graphs). If you have shell-escape enabled, the package will arrange for your files to be processed at LaTeX time; otherwise, the conversion must be done manually as an intermediate process before a second LaTeX run.

dratex (tl-pictures)

A low level (DraTex.sty) and a high-level (AlDraTex.sty) drawing package written entirely in TeX.

drs (tl-pictures)

The package draws Discourse Representation Structures (DRSs). It can draw embedded DRSs, if-then conditions and quantificational "duplex conditions" (with a properly scaled connecting diamond). Formatting parameters allow the user to control the appearance and placement of DRSs, and of DRS variables and conditions. The package is based on DRS macros in the covington package.

duotenzor (tl-pictures)

This is a drawing package for circuit and duotensor diagrams within LaTeX documents. It consists of about eighty commands, calling on TikZ for support.

eepic (tl-pictures)

Extensions to epic and the LaTeX picture drawing environment, include the drawing of lines at any slope, the drawing of circles in any radii, and the drawing of dotted and dashed lines much faster with much less TeX memory, and providing several new commands for drawing ellipses, arcs, splines, and filled circles and ellipses. The package uses tpic special commands.

epspdf (tl-pictures)

Epspdftk.tcl is a GUI ps/eps/pdf converter. Epspdf.tlu, its command-line backend, can be used by itself. Options include grayscaling, cropping margins and single-page selection. Some conversion options are made possible by converting in multiple steps.

epspdfconversion (tl-pictures)

The package calls the epstopdf package to convert EPS graphics to PDF, on the fly. It servs as a vehicle for passing conversion options (such as grayscale, prepress or pdfversion) to the epspdf converter.

esk (tl-pictures)

The ESK package allows to encapsulate Sketch files in LaTeX sources. This is very useful for keeping illustrations in sync with the text. It also frees the user from inventing descriptive names for new files that fit into the confines of file system conventions. Sketch is a 3D scene description language by Eugene K. Ressler and can generate TikZ and PSTricks code. ESK behaves in a similar fashion to EMP (which encapsulates Metapost files), and was in fact developed from it.

fast-diagram (tl-pictures)

The package provides simple means of producing FAST diagrams, using TikZ/pgf tools. FAST diagrams are useful for functional analysis techniques in design methods.

fig4latex (tl-pictures)

Fig4LaTeX simplifies management of the figures in a large LaTeX document. Fig4LaTeX is appropriate for projects that include figures with graphics created by XFig -- in particular, graphics which use the combined PS/LaTeX (or PDF/LaTeX) export method. An example document (with its output) is provided.

fitbox (tl-pictures)

The package allows a box (usually an includegraphics box) to fit on the page. It scales the box to the maximal allowed size within the user-set limits. If there is not enough space on the page, the box is moved to the next one.

flowchart (tl-pictures)

The package provides a set of 'traditional' flowchart element shapes; the documentation shows how to build a flowchart from these elements, using pgf/TikZ. The package also requires the makeshape package.

forest (tl-pictures)

The package is provides a PGF/TikZ-based mechanism for drawing linguistic (and other kinds of) trees. Its main features are: a packing algorithm which can produce very compact trees; a user- friendly interface consisting of the familiar bracket encoding of trees plus the key-value interface to option-setting; many tree-formatting options, with control over option values of individual nodes and mechanisms for their manipulation; the possibility to decorate the tree using the full power of PGF/TikZ; and an externalization mechanism sensitive to code- changes.

genealogytree (tl-pictures)

Pedigree and genealogical tree diagrams are proven tools to visualize genetic and relational connections between individuals. The naming ("tree") derives from historical family diagrams. However, even the smallest family entity consisting of two parents and several children is hardly a 'mathematical' tree -- it is a more general graph. The package provides a set of tools to typeset genealogical trees (i.e., to typeset a set of special graphs for the description of family-like structures). The package uses an autolayout algorithm which can be customized, e.g., to prioritize certain paths.

getmap (tl-pictures)

The package provides a simple interface to OpenStreetMap, and to Google Maps "map images". In the simplest case, it is sufficient to specify the address you need (if you don't, the package will use its own default). The package loads the map image using an external lua script (invoked via write 18: LaTeX must be running with write 18 enabled). The ("external") lua script may be used from the command line; a bash version is provided.

gincltex (tl-pictures)

The package builds on the standard LaTeX packages graphics and/or graphicx and allows external LaTeX source files to be included, in the same way as graphic files, by includegraphics. In effect, then package adds support for the .tex extension. Some of the lower level operations like clipping and trimming are implemented using the adjustbox package which includes native pdflatex support and uses the pgf pacakge for other output formats.

gnuplottex (tl-pictures)

The package extracts Gnuplot code from the document and writes it to .gnuplot files. If shell escape is enabled, the graph files are automatically processed and converted to PostScript or PDF files, which will then be included. If shell escape is disabled, the user has to run the files through gnuplot, and re- run the LaTeX job.

gradientframe (tl-pictures)

The package provides a means of drawing graded frames around objects. The gradients of the frames are drawn using the color package.

grafcet (tl-pictures)

The package provides a library (GRAFCET) that can draw Grafcet Sequential Function Chart (SFC) diagrams, in accordance with EN 60848, using Pgf/TikZ. L'objectif de la librairie GRAFCET est de permettre le trace de grafcet selon la norme EN 60848 a partir de Pgf/TikZ.

graphviz (tl-pictures)

The package allows inline use of graphviz code, in a LaTeX document.

harveyballs (tl-pictures)

The package provides 5 commands (giving symbols that indicate values from "none" to "full").

here (tl-pictures)

Provides the H option for floats in LaTeX to signify that the environment is not really a float (and should therefore be placed "here" and not float at all). The package emulates an older package of the same name, which has long been suppressed by its author. The job is done by nothing more than loading the float package, which has long provided the option in an acceptable framework.

hf-tikz (tl-pictures)

The package provides a way to highlight formulas and formula parts in both documents and presentations, us TikZ.

hobby (tl-pictures)

This package defines a path generation function for PGF/TikZ which implements Hobby's algorithm for a path built out of Bezier curves which passes through a given set of points. The path thus generated may by used as a TikZ 'to path'. The implementation is in LaTeX3.

hvfloat (tl-pictures)

This package defines a macro to place objects (tables and figures) and their captions in different positions with different rotating angles within a float. All objects and captions can be framed. The main command is hvFloat{float type}{floating object}{caption}{label}; a simple example is hvFloat{figure}{includegraphics{rose}}{Caption}{fig:0}. Options are provided to place captions to the right or left, and rotated. Setting nonFloat=true results in placing the float here.

knitting (tl-pictures)

The package provides symbol fonts and commands to write charted instructions for cable and lace knitting patterns, using either plain TeX or LaTeX. The fonts are available both as Metafont source and in Adobe Type 1 format.

knittingpattern (tl-pictures)

The class provides a simple, effective method for knitters to produce high-quality, attractive patterns using LaTeX. It does this by providing commands to handle as much of the layout of the document as possible, leaving the author free to concentrate on the pattern.

lapdf (tl-pictures)

The package provides the means to use PDF drawing primitives to produce high quality, colored graphics. It uses Bezier curves (integral and rational) from degree one to seven, allows TeX typesetting in the graphic, offers most of the standard math functions, allows plotting normal, parametric and polar functions. The package has linear, logx, logy, logxy and polar grids with many specs; it can rotate, clip and do many nice things easily it has two looping commands for programming and many instructive example files. The package requires pdfTeX but otherwise only depends on the calc package.

lpic (tl-pictures)

The package defines a convenient interface to put any LaTeX material on top of included graphics. The LaTeX material may also be rotated and typeset on top of a white box overshadowing the graphics. The coordinates of the LaTeX boxes are given relative to the original, unscaled graphics; when the graphics is rescaled, the LaTeX annotations stay at their right places (unless you do something extreme). In a draft mode, the package enables you to draw a coordinate grid over the picture for easy adjustment of positions of the annotations.

makeshape (tl-pictures)

The package simplifies production of custom shapes with correct anchor borders, in PGF/TikZ; the only requirement is a PGF path describing the anchor border. The package also provides macros that help with the management of shape parameters, and the definition of anchor points.

mathspic (tl-pictures)

MathsPIC(Perl) is a development of the earlier MathsPIC(DOS) program, now implemented as a Perl script, being much more portable than the earlier program. MathsPIC parses a plain text input file and generates a plain text output-file containing commands for drawing a diagram. Version 1.0 produces output containing PiCTeX and (La)TeX commands, which may then be processed by plain TeX or LaTeX in the usual way. MathsPIC also outputs a comprehensive log-file. MathsPIC facilitates creating figures using PiCTeX by providing an environment for manipulating named points and also allows the use of variables and maths (advance, multiply, and divide)--in short--it takes the pain out of PiCTeX. Both the original DOS version and the new Perl version are available.

miniplot (tl-pictures)

MiniPlot is a package to help the LaTeX user typeset EPS figures using an easy-to-use interface. Figures can be arranged as one-figure-only or as a collection of figures in columns and rows which can itself contain sub-figures in columns and rows. Wrapped figures are also supported. This package provides commands to display a framebox instead of the figure as the graphics package does already but additionally it writes useful information such as the label and scaling factor into these boxes.

mkpic (tl-pictures)

mkpic provides an easy interface for making small pictures with mfpic. To this end you create an input file consisting of commands, one per line, with space separated parameters (or you modify the DATA section of the mkpic script, which is used if you run it without an input file). For an extensive description see the file mkpicdoc.pdf, which is part of the distribution.

modiagram (tl-pictures)

The package provides an environment MOdiagram and some commands, to create molecular orbital diagrams using TikZ. For example, the MO diagram of dihydrogen would be written as: begin{MOdiagram} atom{left}{ 1s = {0;up} } atom{right}{ 1s = {0;up} } molecule{ 1sMO = {1;pair, } } end{MOdiagram} The package also needs the l3kernel and l3packages bundles from the LaTeX 3 experimental distribution.

neuralnetwork (tl-pictures)

The package provides facilities for graph-drawing, with facilities designed for neural network diagrams.

numericplots (tl-pictures)

Plotting numeric data is a task which has often to be done for scientific papers. LaTeX itself provides no facilities for drawing more than the simplest plots from supplied data. The package will process user input, and uses PSTricks to plot the results. The package provides Matlab functions to transform Matlab results to plottable data.

pb-diagram (tl-pictures)

A commutative diagram package using LAMSTeX or Xy-pic fonts.

petri-nets (tl-pictures)

Petri-nets offers a set of TeX/LaTeX packages about Petri nets and related models. Three packages are available: the first allows the user to draw Petri-nets in PostScript documents; the second defines macros related to PBC, M-nets and B(PN) models; and a third that combines the other two.

pgf-blur (tl-pictures)

The package adds blurred/faded/fuzzy shadows to PGF/TikZ pictures. It is configured as a TikZ/PGF library module. The method is similar to that of the author's pst-blur package for PSTricks.

The package makes it possible to create pictures of the soroban (Japanese abacus) using PGF/TikZ

pgf-umlcd (tl-pictures)

Some LaTeX macros for UML Class Diagrams.pgf

pgf-umlsd (tl-pictures)

LaTeX macros to draw UML diagrams using pgf

pgf (tl-pictures)

PGF is a macro package for creating graphics. It is platform- and format-independent and works together with the most important TeX backend drivers, including pdfTeX and dvips. It comes with a user-friendly syntax layer called TikZ. Its usage is similar to pstricks and the standard picture environment. PGF works with plain (pdf-)TeX, (pdf-)LaTeX, and ConTeXt. Unlike pstricks, it can produce either PostScript or PDF output.

pgfgantt (tl-pictures)

The package provides an environment for drawing Gantt charts that contain various elements (titles, bars, milestones, groups and links). Several keys customize the appearance of the chart elements.

pgfkeyx (tl-pictures)

The package extends and improves the robustness of the pgfkeys package. In particular, it can deal with active comma, equality sign, and slash in key parsing. The difficulty with active characters has long been a problem with the pgfkeys package. The package also introduces handlers beyond those that pgfkeys can offer.

pgfmolbio (tl-pictures)

The package draws graphs typically found in molecular biology texts. Currently, the package contains modules for drawing DNA sequencing chromatograms and protein domain diagrams.

pgfopts (tl-pictures)

The pgfkeys package (part of the pgf distribution) is a well- designed way of defining and using large numbers of keys for key-value syntaxes. However, pgfkeys itself does not offer means of handling LaTeX class and package options. This package adds such option handling to pgfkeys, in the same way that kvoptions adds the same facility to the LaTeX standard keyval package.

pgfplots (tl-pictures)

PGFPlots draws high-quality function plots in normal or logarithmic scaling with a user-friendly interface directly in TeX. The user supplies axis labels, legend entries and the plot coordinates for one or more plots and PGFPlots applies axis scaling, computes any logarithms and axis ticks and draws the plots, supporting line plots, scatter plots, piecewise constant plots, bar plots, area plots, mesh-- and surface plots and some more. Pgfplots is based on PGF/TikZ (pgf); it runs equally for LaTeX/TeX/ConTeXt.

picinpar (tl-pictures)

A legacy package for creating 'windows' in paragraphs, for inserting graphics, etc. (including "dropped capitals"). Users should note that Piet van Oostrum (in a published review of packages of this sort) does not recommend this package; Picins is recommended instead.

pict2e (tl-pictures)

This package was described in the 2nd edition of 'LaTeX: A Document Preparation System', but the LaTeX project team declined to produce the package. For a long time, LaTeX has included a 'pict2e package' that merely produced an apologetic error message. The new package extends the existing LaTeX picture environment, using the familiar technique (cf. the graphics and color packages) of driver files (at present, drivers for PostScript output from LaTeX, and for use with PDFLaTeX are available). The package documentation has a fair number of examples of use, showing where things are improved by comparison with the LaTeX picture environment.

pictex (tl-pictures)

PicTeX is an early, and very comprehensive drawing package, that mostly draws by placing myriads of small dots to make up pictures. It has a tendency to run out of space, most especially of allowable dimensions registers; packages m-pictex and pictexwd deal with the register problem, in different ways. Note that full documentation may be bought via the PC-TeX site, though a command summary is available as free software. Alternatively, a front-end package such as mathsPiC, which covers all of PicTeX and has a complete and free manual, could be used.

pictex2 (tl-pictures)

Adds two user commands to standard PiCTeX. One command uses relative coordinates, thus eliminating the need to calculate the coordinate of every point manually as in standard PiCTeX. The other command modifies plot to use a rule instead of dots if the line segment is horizontal or vertical.

pinlabel (tl-pictures)

Pinlabel is a labelling package for attaching perfectly formatted TeX labels to figures and diagrams in both eps and pdf formats. It is suitable both for labelling a new diagram and for relabelling an existing diagram. The package uses coordinates derived from GhostView (or gv) and labels are placed with automatic and consistent spacing relative to the object labelled.

pmgraph (tl-pictures)

A set of extensions to LaTeX picture environment, including a wider range of vectors, and a lot more box frame styles.

prerex (tl-pictures)

This package consists of prerex.sty, a LaTeX package for producing charts of course nodes linked by arrows representing pre- and co-requisites, and prerex, an interactive program for creating and editing chart descriptions. The implementation of prerex.sty uses PGF, so that it may be used equally happily with LaTeX or pdfLaTeX; prerex itself is written in C. The package includes source code for a previewer application, a lightweight Qt-4 and poppler-based prerex-enabled PDF viewer.

productbox (tl-pictures)

The package enables typesetting of a three-dimensional product box. This product box can be rendered as it is standing on a surface and some light is shed onto it. Alternatively it can be typeset as a wireframe to be cut out and glued together. This will lead to a physical product box. The package requires pgf and TikZ.

pxpgfmark (tl-pictures)

The distributed drivers do not support the PGF feature of "inter-picture connections" under e-pTeX and dvipdfmx. The package uses existing features of dvipdfmx to fix this problem

qcircuit (tl-pictures)

The package supports those within the quantum information community who typeset quantum circuits, using xy-pic package, offering macros designed to help users generate circuits.

qrcode (tl-pictures)

The package generates QR (Quick Response) codes in LaTeX, without the need for PSTricks or any other graphical package.

randomwalk (tl-pictures)

The randomwalk package provides a user command, RandomWalk, to draw random walks with a given number of steps. Lengths and angles of the steps can be customized in various ways. The package uses lcg for its 'random' numbers and PGF/TikZ for its graphical output.

reotex (tl-pictures)

The package defines macros and other utilities to design Reo Circuits. The package requires PGF/TikZ support.

rviewport (tl-pictures)

Package graphicx provides a useful keyword viewport which allows to show just a part of an image. However, one needs to put there the actual coordinates of the viewport window. Sometimes it is useful to have relative coordinates as fractions of natural size. For example, one may want to print a large image on a spread, putting a half on a verso page, and another half on the next recto page. For this one would need a viewport occupying exactly one half of the file's bounding box, whatever the actual width of the image may be. This package adds a new keyword rviewport to the graphicx package specifiying Relative Viewport for graphics inclusion: a window defined by the given fractions of the natural width and height of the image.

sa-tikz (tl-pictures)

The package provides a library that offers an easy way to draw switching architectures and to customize their aspect.

schemabloc (tl-pictures)

swimgraf (tl-pictures)

The package provides two macros that produce representations of a swimmer's performances. The user records data in a text file and specifies as arguments of the macros the date range of interest. The macros extract the relevant information from the file and process it: swimgraph produces a graph of the times in a single swimming event (specified as an argument), plotting long course and short course times in separate lines. Records and qualifying times, stored in text files, may optionally be included on the graph. swimtext produces a written record of the times in all events. Files of current world and Canadian records are included. The package requires the PSTricks and keyval packages. For attractive output it also requires a colour output device.

texdraw (tl-pictures)

TeXdraw is a set of macro definitions for TeX, which allow the user to produce PostScript drawings from within TeX and LaTeX. TeXdraw has been designed to be extensible. Drawing 'segments' are relocatable, self-contained units. Using a combination of the TeX's grouping mechanism and the gsave/grestore mechanism in PostScript, drawing segments allow for local changes to the scaling and line parameters. Using TeX's macro definition capability, new drawing commands can be constructed from drawing segments.

ticollege (tl-pictures)

This package provides commands to draw scientific calculator keys with the help of TikZ. It also provides commands to draw the content of screens and of menu items.

tikz-3dplot (tl-pictures)

The package provides straightforward ways to define three- dimensional coordinate frames through which to plot in TikZ. The user can specify the orientation of the main coordinate frame, and use standard TikZ commands and coordinates to render their tikzfigure. A secondary coordinate frame is provided to allow rotations and translations with respect to the main coordinate frame. In addition, the package can also handle plotting user-specified functions in spherical polar coordinates, where both the radius and fill color can be expressed as parametric functions of polar angles.

tikz-bayesnet (tl-pictures)

The package provides a library supporting the display of Bayesian networks, graphical models and (directed) factor graphs in LaTeX.

The package includes 12 common element types like dipoles, quadrupoles, cavities, or screens, as well as automatic labels with element names, a legend, a rule, and an environment to fade out parts of the accelerator. The coordinate of any element can be saved and used for custom tikz drawings or annotations. Thereby, lattices can be connected to draw injection/extraction or even a complete accelerator facility.

tikz-qtree (tl-pictures)

The package provides a macro for drawing trees with TikZ using the easy syntax of Alexis Dimitriadis' Qtree. It improves on TikZ's standard tree-drawing facility by laying out tree nodes without collisions; it improves on Qtree by adding lots of features from TikZ (for example, edge labels, arrows between nodes); and it improves on pst-qtree in being usable with pdfTeX and XeTeX.

tikz-timing (tl-pictures)

This package provides macros and an environment to generate timing diagrams (digital waveforms) without much effort. The TikZ package is used to produce the graphics. The diagrams may be inserted into text (paragraphs, hbox, etc.) and into tikzpictures. A tabular-like environment is provided to produce larger timing diagrams.

tikzinclude (tl-pictures)

The package addresses the problem of importing only one TikZ- image from a file holding multiple images.

tikzmark (tl-pictures)

The basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, power to an integer) are implemented by TeX macros in this package. Operands may be numbers with arbitrary numbers of digits; scientific notation is allowed. The expression scanner is also provided. Exhaustive documentation (including detailed TeXnical documentation) is included. The macro includes many optimizations and uses only TeX primitives (from classic TeX) and newcount macro.

epsf (tl-generic)

The original (and now obsolescent) graphics inclusion macros for use with dvips, still widely used by Plain TeX users (in particular). For LaTeX users, the package is nowadays (rather strongly) deprecated in favour of the more sophisticated standard LaTeX graphics bundle of packages. (The graphics bundle is also available to Plain TeX users, via its Plain TeX version.)

fontname (tl-generic)

The scheme for assigning names is described (in the documentation part of the package), and map files giving the relation between foundry name and 'TeX-name' are also provided.

genmisc (tl-generic)

kastrup (tl-generic)

Provides expandable macros for both fixed-width and minimum- width numbers to bases 2, 4, 8 and 16.

multido (tl-generic)

The package provides the multido command, which was originally designed for use with PSTricks. Fixed-point arithmetic is used when working on the loop variable, so that the package is equally applicable in graphics applications like PSTricks as it is with the more common integer loops.

path (tl-generic)

Defines a macro path|...|, similar to the LaTeX verb|...|, that sets the text in typewriter font and allows hyphen-less breaks at punctuation characters. The set of characters to be regarded as punctuation may be changed from the package's default.

tex-ps (tl-generic)

TeX to PostScript generic macros and add-ons: transformations of EPS files, prepress preparation, color separation, mirror, etc.

ulem (tl-generic)

The package provides an ul (underline) command which will break over line ends; this technique may be used to replace em (both in that form and as the emph command), so as to make output look as if it comes from a typewriter. The package also offers double and wavy underlining, and striking out (line through words) and crossing out (/// over words). The package works with both Plain TeX and LaTeX.

auto-pst-pdf (tl-pstricks)

The package uses --shell-escape to execute pst-pdf when necessary. This makes it especially easy to integrate into the workflow of an editor with just "LaTeX" and "pdfLaTeX" buttons. Wrappers are provided for various psfrag-related features so that Matlab figures via laprint, Mathematica figures via MathPSfrag, and regular psfrag figures can all be input consistently and easily.

bclogo (tl-pstricks)

The package facilitates the creation of colorful boxes with a title and logo. It may use either tikz or PSTricks as graphics engine.

dsptricks (tl-pstricks)

euro-ce (tl-fonts)

Metafont source for the symbols in several variants, designed to fit with the Computer Modern-set text.

euro (tl-fonts)

Converts arbitrary national currency amounts using the Euro as base unit, and typesets monetary amounts in almost any desired way. Write, e.g., ATS{17.6} to get something like '17,60 oS (1,28 Euro)' automatically. Conversion rates for the initial Euro-zone countries are already built-in. Further rates can be added easily. The package uses the fp package to do its sums.

fpl (tl-fonts)

The FPL Fonts provide a set of SC/OsF fonts for URW Palladio L which are compatible with respect to metrics with the Palatino SC/OsF fonts from Adobe. Note that it is not my aim to exactly reproduce the outlines of the original Adobe fonts. The SC and OsF in the FPL Fonts were designed with the glyphs from URW Palladio L as starting point. For some glyphs (e.g. 'o') I got the best result by scaling and boldening. For others (e.g. 'h') shifting selected portions of the character gave more satisfying results. All this was done using the free font editor FontForge. The kerning data in these fonts comes from Walter Schmidt's improved Palatino metrics.

Some people write $1ldotpldotp m$, others ${j:1leq jleq m}$, and the journal you're submitting to might want something else entirely. The 12many package provides an interface that makes changing from one to another a one-line change.

amstex (tl-math)

AMSTeX is a TeX macro package, originally written by Michael Spivak for the American Mathematical Society (AMS) during 1983- 1985 and is described in the book 'The Joy of TeX'. It is based on Plain TeX, and provides many features for producing more professional-looking maths formulas with less burden on authors. More recently, the focus of attention has switched to amslatex, but AMSTeX remains as a working system.

backnaur (tl-math)

The package typesets Backus-Naur Form (BNF) definitions. It creates aligned lists of productions, with numbers if required. It can also print in-line BNF expressions using math mode.

A collection of packages containing: accenti dblfont; envmath; evenpage; graphfig; mathcmd; quotes; and sobolev.

bropd (tl-math)

The package simplifies the process of writing differential operators and brackets in LaTeX. The commands facilitate the easy manipulation of equations involving brackets and allow partial differentials to be expressed in an alternate form.

calculation (tl-math)

The calculation environment formats reasoned calculations, also called calculational proofs. The notion of reasoned calculations or calculational proofs was originally advocated by Wim Feijen and Edsger Dijkstra. The package accepts options fleqn and leqno (with the same effect as the LaTeX options fleqn and leqno, or may inherit the options from the document class). It allows steps and expressions to be numbered (by LaTeX equation numbers, obeying the LaTeX label command to refer to these numbers), and a step doesn't take vertical space if its hint is empty. An expression in a calculation can be given a comment; it is placed at the side opposite to the equation numbers. Calculations are allowed inside hints although numbering and commenting is then disabled.

ccfonts (tl-math)

LaTeX font definition files for the Concrete fonts and a LaTeX package for typesetting documents using Concrete as the default font family. The files support OT1, T1, TS1, and Concrete mathematics including AMS fonts (Ulrik Vieth's concmath).

commath (tl-math)

Provides a range of differential, partial differential and delimiter commands, together with a fullfunction (function, with both domain and range, and function operation) and various reference commands.

concmath (tl-math)

A LaTeX package and font definition files to access the Concrete mathematics fonts, which were derived from Computer Modern math fonts using parameters from Concrete Roman text fonts.

concrete (tl-math)

Concrete Roman fonts, designed by Donald E. Knuth, originally for use with Euler mathematics fonts. Alternative mathematics fonts, based on the concrete 'parameter set' are available as the concmath fonts bundle. LaTeX support is offered by the beton, concmath and ccfonts packages. T1- and TS1-encoded versions of the fonts are available in the ecc bundle, and Adobe Type 1 versions of the ecc fonts are part of the cm-super bundle.

conteq (tl-math)

The package provides an environment conteq, which will lay out systems of continued equalities (or inequalities). Several variant layouts of the equalities are provided, and the user may define their own. The package is written using LaTeX 3 macros.

ebproof (tl-math)

This package provides commands to typeset proof trees in the style of sequent calculus and related systems. The commands allow for writing inferences with any number of premises and alignment of successive formulas on an arbitrary point. Various options allow complete control over spacing, styles of inference rules, placement of labels, etc. The package requires pgfkeys (from the PGF/TikZ bundle) for the option system.

eqnarray (tl-math)

Defines an equationarray environment, that allows more than three columns, but otherwise behaves like LaTeX's eqnarray environment. This environment is similar, in some ways, to the align environment of amsmath. The package requires the array package.

extarrows (tl-math)

Arrows are provided to supplement xleftarrow and xrightarrow of the AMSMath package: xlongequal, xLongleftarrow, xLongrightarrow, xLongleftrightarrow, xLeftrightarrow. xlongleftrightarrow, xleftrightarrow, xlongleftarrow and xlongrightarrow.

extpfeil (tl-math)

The package provides some more extensible arrows (usable in the same way as xleftarrow from amsmath), and a simple command to create new ones.

faktor (tl-math)

The package provides the means to typeset factor structures, as are used in many areas of algebraic notation. The structure is similar to the 'A/B' that is provided by the nicefrac package (part of the units distribution), and by the xfrac package; the most obvious difference is that the numerator and denominator's sizes do not change in the faktor command.

grundgesetze (tl-math)

The package defines maths mode commands for typesetting Gottlob Frege's concept-script in the style of his "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik" (Basic Laws of Arithmetic).

interval (tl-math)

When typing an open interval as $]a,b[$, a closing bracket is being used in place of an opening fence and vice versa. This leads to the wrong spacing in, say, $]-a,b[$ or $Ain]a,b[=B$. The package attempts to solve this using: interval{a}{b} -> [a,b] interval[open]{a}{b} -> ]a,b[ interval[open left]{a}{b} -> ]a,b] The package also supports fence scaling and ensures that the enclosing fences will end up having the proper closing and opening types. TeX maths does not do this job properly.

ionumbers (tl-math)

'ionumbers' stands for 'input/output numbers'. The package restyles numbers in maths mode. If a number in the input file is written, e.g., as $3,231.44$ as commonly used in English texts, the package is able to restyle it to be output as $3,231{,}44$ as commonly used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be useful, for example, if you have a large table and want to include it in texts with different output conventions without the need to change the table. The package can also automatically group digits left of the decimal separator (thousands) and right of the decimal separator (thousandths) in triplets without the need of specifing commas (English) or points (German) as separators. E.g., the input $1234.567890$ can be output as $1,234.,567,890$. Finally, an e starts the exponent of the number. For example, $21e6$ may be output as $26times10,^{6}$.

isomath (tl-math)

The package provides tools for a mathematical style that conforms to the International Standard ISO 80000-2 and is common in science and technology. It changes the default shape of capital Greek letters to italic, sets up bold italic and sans-serif bold italic math alphabets with Latin and Greek characters, and defines macros for markup of vector, matrix and tensor symbols.

logicproof (tl-math)

A common style of proof used in propositional and predicate logic is Fitch proofs, in which each line of the proof has a statement and a justification, and subproofs within a larger proof have boxes around them. The package provides environments for typesetting such proofs and boxes. It creates proofs in a style similar to that used in "Logic in Computer Science" by Huth and Ryan.

lpform (tl-math)

The package is designed to aid the author writing linear programming formulations, one restriction at a time. With the package, one can easily label equations, formulations can span multiple pages and several elements of the layout (such as spacing, texts and equation tags) are also customizable. Besides linear programming formulations, this package can also be used to display any series of aligned equations with easy labeling/referencing and other customization options.

lplfitch (tl-math)

The package provides macros for typesetting natural deduction proofs in "Fitch" style, with subproofs indented and offset by scope lines. The proofs from use of the package are in the format used in the textbook Language, Proof, and Logic by Dave Barker-Plummer, Jon Barwise, and John Etchemendy.

The package provides a series of operators commonly used in papers related to multiobjective optimisation, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, multicriteria decision making and similar fields.

natded (tl-math)

The package provides commands to typeset proofs in the style used by Jaskowski, or that of Kalish and Montague.

nath (tl-math)

Nath is a LaTeX (both 2e and 2.09) style to separate presentation and content in mathematical typography. The style delivers a particular context-dependent presentation on the basis of a rather coarse context-independent notation. Highlighted features: depending on the context, the command frac produces either built-up or case or solidus fractions, with parentheses added whenever required for preservation of the mathematical meaning; delimiters adapt their size to the material enclosed, rendering left and right almost obsolete.

ot-tableau (tl-math)

The package makes it easy to create beautiful optimality- theoretic tableaux. The LaTeX source is visually very similar to a formatted tableau, which makes working with the source code painless (well, less painful). A variety of stylistic variants are available to suit personal taste.

oubraces (tl-math)

Provides a means to interleave overbrace and underbrace in the same formula.

perfectcut (tl-math)

The package defines the command perfectcut#1#2 which displays a bracket <#1||#2>. Its effect is to determine the size of the bracket depending on the number of nested perfectcut (regardless of the contents). The command is intended for use: In proof theory, for term notations of sequent calculus, In computer science, for the modeling of abstract machines. The package also offers a reimplementation of big, bigg, etc., into arbitrary-size variants.

These diagrams are more human-readable, more scalable, and more easily modified than the corresponding textual proofs.

rmathbr (tl-math)

Repeating of math operators at the broken line and the new line in inline equations is used in Cyrillic mathematical typography (Russian for example), but unfortunately LaTeX does not provide such an option. This package solves the problem by extending ideas described in M. I. Grinchuk "TeX and Russian Traditions of Typesetting", TUGboat 17(4) (1996) 385 and supports most of LaTeX mathematical packages. See the documentation for details.

tablor (tl-math)

The package allows the user to use the computer algebra system XCAS to generate tables of signs and of variations (the actual plotting of the tables uses the MetaPost macro package tableauVariations). Tables with forbidden regions may be developed using the package. A configuration file permits some configuration of the language to be used in the diagrams. The tablor package requires that shell escape be enabled.

tensor (tl-math)

A package which allows the user to set tensor-style super- and subscripts with offsets between successive indices. It supports the typesetting of tensors with mixed upper and lower indices with spacing, also typset preposed indices.

context-mathsets (tl-context)

Typeset good-looking set notation (e.g., {x|x in Y}), as well as similar things such as Dirac bra-ket notation, conditional probabilities, etc. The package is at least inspired by braket.

context-notes-zh-cn (tl-context)

An introductory tutorial on ConTeXt, in Chinese. The document covers ConTeXt installation, fonts, layout design, cross- reference, project structure, metafun and presentation design.

context-rst (tl-context)

The package provides a converter and module for typesetting reStructuredText with ConTeXt. The module uses several lua scripts in doing its work. Documentation is supplied in rst, which seems to be readable as text, but...

context-ruby (tl-context)

Ruby markup (aka furigana in Japan) are inline annotations above or below a word to indicate the reading of ideographic characters. The module implements the W3C specification for simple ruby in ConTeXt. The position and layout of the base text and the ruby text can becontrolled by parameters.

context-simplefonts (tl-context)

The package defines a set of commands for loading and using fonts in ConTeXt.

context-simpleslides (tl-context)

context-title (tl-context)

context-transliterator (tl-context)

The package will read text in one alphabet, and provide a transliterated version in another; this is useful for readers who cannot read the original alphabet. The package can make allowance for hyphenation.

context-typearea (tl-context)

The module provides a command that calculates the page layout as the LaTeX package typearea does.

context-typescripts (tl-context)

The package provides files offering interfaces to 33 publicly available fonts (or collections of fonts from the same foundry); each is available in a .mkii and a .mkiv version.

context-vim (tl-context)

ConTeXt has excellent pretty printing capabilities for many languages. The code for pretty printing is written in TeX, and due to catcode juggling, such verbatim typesetting is perhaps the trickiest part of TeX. This makes it difficult for a "normal" user to define syntax highlighting rules for a new language. This module takes the onus of defining syntax highlighting rules away from the user and uses ViM editor to generate the syntax highlighting. There is a helper 2context.vim script to do the syntax parsing in ViM.

context-visualcounter (tl-context)

context (tl-context)

A full featured, parameter driven macro package, which fully supports advanced interactive documents. See the ConTeXt garden for a wealth of support information.

jmn (tl-context)

anysize (tl-latex2)

This package is considered obsolete; alternatives are the typearea package from the koma-script bundle, or the geometry package.

beamer (tl-latex2)

The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides. Its functionality is similar to Prosper but does not need any external programs and can directly produce a presentation using pdflatex. Beamer uses pgf for pdf/ps independent graphics. Frames are created using frame{...}, and a frame can build multiple slides through a simple notation for specifying material for each slide within a frame. Beamer supports bibliographies, appendicies and transitions. Short versions of title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional parameters. A plainframe{} allows a picture, for example, to fill the whole frame. Support figure and table environments, transparency effects, a transduration command, animation commands, a pauses environment. Beamer also provides compatibility with other packages like prosper. The package now incorporates the functionality of the former translator package, which is used for customising the package for use in other language environments.

booktabs (tl-latex2)

The package enhances the quality of tables in LaTeX, providing extra commands as well as behind-the-scenes optimisation. Guidelines are given as to what constitutes a good table in this context. From version 1.61, the package offers longtable compatibility.

breqn (tl-latex2)

The package provides solutions to a number of common difficulties in writing displayed equations and getting high- quality output. For example, it is a well-known inconvenience that if an equation must be broken into more than one line, 'left...right' constructs cannot span lines. The breqn package makes them work as one would expect whether or not there is an intervening line break. The single most ambitious goal of the package, however, is to support automatic linebreaking of displayed equations. Such linebreaking cannot be done without substantial changes under the hood in the way formulae are processed; the code must be watched carefully, keeping an eye on possible glitches. The bundle also contains the flexisym and mathstyle packages, which are both designated as support for breqn.

caption (tl-latex2)

The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Facilities include rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the "caption outside float" facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. The package supersedes caption2.

cite (tl-latex2)

The package supports compressed, sorted lists of numerical citations, and also deals with various punctuation and other issues of representation, including comprehensive management of break points. The package is compatible with both hyperref and backref. The package is (unsurprisingly) part of the cite bundle of the author's citation-related packages.

cmap (tl-latex2)

The cmap package provides character map tables, which make PDF files generated by pdfLaTeX both searchable and copy-able in acrobat reader and other compliant PDF viewers. Encodings supported are OT1, T1, T2A, T2B, T2C and T5, together with LAE (Arabic), LFE (Farsi) and LGR (Greek) and a variant OT1tt for cmtt-like fonts. The package's main limitation currently is the inability to work with virtual fonts, because of limitations of pdfTeX. This restriction may be resolved in a future version of pdfTeX.

crop (tl-latex2)

A package providing corner marks for camera alignment as well as for trimming paper stacks, and additional page information on every page if required. Most macros are easily adaptable to personal preferences. An option is provided for selectively suppressing graphics or text, which may be useful for printing just colour graphics on a colour laser printer and the rest on a cheap mono laser printer. A page info line contains the time and a new cropmarks index and is printed at the top of the page. A configuration command is provided for the info line font. Options for better collaboration with dvips, pdftex and vtex are provided.

ctable (tl-latex2)

Provides commands to typeset centered, left- or right-aligned table and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions.

eso-pic (tl-latex2)

The package adds one or more user commands to LaTeX's shipout routine, which may be used to place the output at fixed positions. The grid option may be used to find the correct places.

euenc (tl-latex2)

Font encoding definitions for unicode fonts loaded by LaTeX in XeTeX or LuaTeX. The package provides two encodings: EU1, designed for use with XeTeX, which the fontspec uses for unicode fonts which require no macro-level processing for accents, and EU2, which provides the same facilities for use with LuaTeX. Neither encoding places any restriction on the glyphs provided by a font; use of EU2 causes the package euxunicode to be loaded (the package is part of this distribution). The package includes font definition files for use with the Latin Modern OpenType fonts.

euler (tl-latex2)

Provides a setup for using the AMS Euler family of fonts for mathematics in LaTeX documents. "The underlying philosophy of Zapf's Euler design was to capture the flavour of mathematics as it might be written by a mathematician with excellent handwriting." The euler package is based on Knuth's macros for the book 'Concrete Mathematics'. The text fonts for the Concrete book are supported by the beton package.

extsizes (tl-latex2)

Provides classes extarticle, extreport, extletter, extbook and extproc which provide for documents with a base font size from 8-20pt.

fancybox (tl-latex2)

Provides variants of fbox: shadowbox, doublebox, ovalbox, Ovalbox, with helpful tools for using box macros and flexible verbatim macros. You can box mathematics, floats, center, flushleft, and flushright, lists, and pages.

fancyref (tl-latex2)

Provides fancy cross-referencing support, based on the package's reference commands (fref and Fref) that recognise what sort of object is being referenced. So, for example, the label for a section would be expected to be of the form 'sec:foo': the package would recognise the 'sec:' part.

fancyvrb (tl-latex2)

Flexible handling of verbatim text including: verbatim commands in footnotes; a variety of verbatim environments with many parameters; ability to define new customized verbatim environments; save and restore verbatim text and environments; write and read files in verbatim mode; build "example" environments (showing both result and verbatim source).

float (tl-latex2)

Improves the interface for defining floating objects such as figures and tables. Introduces the boxed float, the ruled float and the plaintop float. You can define your own floats and improve the behaviour of the old ones. The package also provides the H float modifier option of the obsolete here package. You can select this as automatic default with floatplacement{figure}{H}.

fontspec (tl-latex2)

Fontspec is a package for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. It provides an automatic and unified interface to feature-rich AAT and OpenType fonts through the NFSS in LaTeX running on XeTeX or LuaTeX engines. The package requires the l3kernel and xparse bundles from the LaTeX 3 development team.

fp (tl-latex2)

An extensive collection of arithmetic operations for fixed point real numbers of high precision.

index (tl-latex2)

This is a reimplementation of LaTeX's indexing macros to provide better support for indexing. For example, it supports multiple indexes in a single document and provides a more robust index command. It supplies short hand notations for the index command (^{word}) and a * variation of index (abbreviated _{word}) that prints the word being indexed, as well as creating an index entry for it.

jknapltx (tl-latex2)

Miscellaneous macros by Jorg Knappen, including: represent counters in greek; Maxwell's non-commutative division; latin1jk, latin2jk and latin3jk, which are their inputenc definition files that allow verbatim input in the respective ISO Latin codes; blackboard bold fonts in maths; use of RSFS fonts in maths; extra alignments for parboxes; swap Roman and Sans fonts; transliterate semitic languages; patches to make (La)TeX formulae embeddable in SGML; use maths "minus" in text as appropriate; simple Young tableaux.

koma-script (tl-latex2)

The KOMA-Script bundle provides replacements for the article, report, and book classes with emphasis on typography and versatility. There is also a letter class. The bundle also offers: a package for calculating type areas in the way laid down by the typographer Jan Tschichold, a package for easily changing and defining page styles, a package scrdate for getting not only the current date but also the name of the day, and a package scrtime for getting the current time. All these packages may be used not only with KOMA-Script classes but also with the standard classes. Since every package has its own version number, the version number quoted only refers to the version of scrbook, scrreprt, scrartcl, scrlttr2 and typearea (which are the main parts of the bundle).

l3experimental (tl-latex2)

The l3experimental packages are a collection of experimental implementations for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the Designer Interface. Some of them work as stand alone packages, providing new functionality, and can be used on top of LaTeX2e with no changes to the existing kernel. The present release includes: xgalley, which controls boxes receiving text for typesetting. l3regex: kernel support for regular expression search and replace operations; l3sort: kernel support for sorting sequences, token lists or comma- lists, according to user-specified comparison criteria; l3str: kernel support for string manipulation; l3tl-build: kernel support for token list building; l3tl_analysis: kernel support for token list analysis; and xcoffins, which allows the alignment of boxes using a series of 'handle' positions, supplementing the simple TeX reference point. All the files of the bundle are also available in the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project. The bundle on CTAN is based on a snapshot of the SVN repository on 2015-09-11.

l3kernel (tl-latex2)

The l3kernel bundle provides an implementation of the LaTeX3 programmers' interface, as a set of packages that run under LaTeX 2e. The interface provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other future code are built: it is an API for TeX programmers. The packages are set up so that the LaTeX3 conventions can be used with regular LaTeX 2e packages. All the files of the bundle are also available in the project's Subversion (SVN) repository

l3packages (tl-latex2)

The bundle holds prototype implementations of concepts for a LaTeX designer interface, to be used with the experimental LaTeX kernel as programming tools and kernel support. Packages provided in this release are: l3keys2e, which makes the facilities of the kernel module l3keys available for use by LaTeX 2e packages; xfrac, which provides flexible split-level fractions; xparse, which provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands; and xtemplate, which provides a means of defining generic functions using a key-value syntax. All the files of the bundle are also available in the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project. The bundle on CTAN is based on a snapshot of the SVN repository; it should be used with copies of the l3kernel at SVN version 6001 or later.

lineno (tl-latex2)

Adds line numbers to selected paragraphs with reference possible through the LaTeX ref and pageref cross reference mechanism. Line numbering may be extended to footnote lines, using the fnlineno package.

listings (tl-latex2)

The package enables the user to typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX; the source code is read directly by TeX--no front-end processor is needed. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no special style for strings). Support for hyperref is provided. To use, usepackage{listings}, identify the language of the object to typeset, using a construct like: lstset{language=Python}, then use environment lstlisting for inline code. External files may be formatted using lstinputlisting to process a given file in the form appropriate for the current language. Short (in-line) listings are also available, using either lstinline|...| or |...| (after defining the | token with the lstMakeShortInline command).

mathtools (tl-latex2)

Mathtools provides a series of packages designed to enhance the appearance of documents containing a lot of mathematics. The main backbone is amsmath, so those unfamiliar with this required part of the LaTeX system will probably not find the packages very useful. Mathtools provides many useful tools for mathematical typesetting. It is based on amsmath and fixes various deficiencies of amsmath and standard LaTeX. It provides: Extensible symbols, such as brackets, arrows, harpoons, etc.; Various symbols such as coloneqq (:=); Easy creation of new tag forms; Showing equation numbers only for referenced equations; Extensible arrows, harpoons and hookarrows; Starred versions of the amsmath matrix environments for specifying the column alignment; More building blocks: multlined, cases-like environments, new gathered environments; Maths versions of makebox, llap, rlap etc.; Cramped math styles; and more... Mathtools requires mhsetup.

mdwtools (tl-latex2)

This collection of tools includes: support for short commands starting with @, macros to sanitise the OT1 encoding of the cmtt fonts; a 'do after' command; improved footnote support; mathenv for various alignment in maths; list handling; mdwmath which adds some minor changes to LaTeX maths; a rewrite of LaTeX's tabular and array environments; verbatim handling; and syntax diagrams.

memoir (tl-latex2)

The memoir class is for typesetting poetry, fiction, non- fiction, and mathematical works. Permissible document 'base' font sizes range from 9 to 60pt. There is a range of page- styles and well over a dozen chapter-styles to choose from, as well as methods for specifying your own layouts and designs. The class also provides the functionality of over thirty of the more popular packages, thus simplifying document sources. The class automatically loads an associated patch file mempatch; the patch file may be updated from time to time, between releases of the class itself. (The patch file stays around even when there are no extant patches.) Users who wish to use the hyperref package, in a document written with the memoir class, should also use the memhfixc package (part of this bundle). Note, however, that any current version of hyperref actually loads the package automatically if it detects that it is running under memoir.

metalogo (tl-latex2)

This package exposes spacing parameters for various TeX logos to the end user, to optimise the logos for different fonts. Written especially for XeLaTeX users.

microtype (tl-latex2)

The package provides a LaTeX interface to the micro-typographic extensions that were introduced by pdfTeX and have since also propagated to XeTeX and LuaTeX: most prominently, character protrusion and font expansion, furthermore the adjustment of interword spacing and additional kerning, as well as hyphenatable letterspacing (tracking) and the possibility to disable all or selected ligatures. These features may be applied to customisable sets of fonts, and all micro- typographic aspects of the fonts can be configured in a straight-forward and flexible way. Settings for various fonts are provided. Note that character protrusion requires pdfTeX, LuaTeX, or XeTeX. Font expansion works with pdfTeX or LuaTeX. The package will by default enable protrusion and expansion if they can safely be assumed to work. Disabling ligatures requires pdfTeX or LuaTeX, while the adjustment of interword spacing and of kerning only works with pdfTeX. Letterspacing is available with pdfTeX or LuaTeX. The alternative package `letterspace', which also works with plain TeX, provides the user commands for letterspacing only, omitting support for all other extensions.

ms (tl-latex2)

A bundle of LaTeX packages by Martin Schroder; the collection comprises: count1to, make use of fixed TeX counters; everysel, set commands to execute every time a font is selected; everyshi, set commands to execute whenever a page is shipped out; multitoc, typeset the table of contents in multiple columns; prelim2e, mark typeset pages as preliminary; and ragged2e, typeset ragged text and allow hyphenation.

ntgclass (tl-latex2)

The bundle offers versions of the standard LaTeX article and report classes, rewritten to reflect a more European design, and the a4 package, which is better tuned to the shape of a4 paper than is the a4paper class option of the standard classes. The classes include several for article and report requirements, and a letter class. The elements of the bundle were designed by members of the Dutch TeX Users Group NTG.

parskip (tl-latex2)

Simply changing parskip and parindent leaves a layout that is untidy; this package (though it is no substitute for a properly- designed class) helps alleviate this untidiness

pdfpages (tl-latex2)

This package simplifies the inclusion of external multi-page PDF documents in LaTeX documents. Pages may be freely selected and similar to psnup it is possible to put several logical pages onto each sheet of paper. Furthermore a lot of hypertext features like hyperlinks and article threads are provided. The package supports pdfTeX (pdfLaTeX) and VTeX. With VTeX it is even possible to use this package to insert PostScript files, in addition to PDF files.

powerdot (tl-latex2)

Powerdot is a presentation class for LaTeX that allows for the quick and easy development of professional presentations. It comes with many tools that enhance presentations and aid the presenter. Examples are automatic overlays, personal notes and a handout mode. To view a presentation, DVI, PS or PDF output can be used. A powerful template system is available to easily develop new styles. A LyX layout file is provided.

psfrag (tl-latex2)

Allows LaTeX constructions (equations, picture environments, etc.) to be precisely superimposed over Encapsulated PostScript figures, using your own favorite drawing tool to create an EPS figure and placing simple text 'tags' where each replacement is to be placed, with PSfrag automatically removing these tags from the figure and replacing them with a user specified LaTeX construction, properly aligned, scaled, and/or rotated.

rcs (tl-latex2)

The rcs package utilizes the inclusion of RCS supplied data in LaTeX documents. It's upward compatible to *all* rcs styles I know of. In particular, you can easily access values of every RCS field in your document put the checkin date on the titlepage put RCS fields in a footline You can typeset revision logs. Not in verbatim -- real LaTeX text! But you need a configurable RCS for that. Refer to the user manual for more detailed information. You can also configure the rcs package easily to do special things for any keyword. This bundle comes with a user manual, an internal interface description, full documentation of the implementation, style information for AUC- TeX, and test cases.

rotating (tl-latex2)

A package built on the standard LaTeX graphics package to perform all the different sorts of rotation one might like, including complete figures and tables with their captions. If you want continuous text (i.e., more than one page) set in landscape mode, use the lscape package instead. The rotating packages only deals in rotated boxes (or floats, which are themselves boxes), and boxes always stay on one page. If you need to use the facilities of the float in the same document, load rotating.sty via rotfloat, which smooths the path between the rotating and float packages.

sansmath (tl-latex2)

The package defines a new math version sans, and a command sansmath that behaves somewhat like boldmath

section (tl-latex2)

The package implements a pretty extensive scheme to make more manageable the business of configuring LaTeX output.

seminar (tl-latex2)

A class that produces overhead slides (transparencies), with many facilities. The class requires availability of the fancybox package. Seminar is also the basis of other classes, such as prosper. In fact, seminar is not nowadays reckoned a good basis for a presentation -- users are advised to use more recent classes such as powerdot or beamer, both of which are tuned to 21st-century presentation styles. Note that the seminar distribution relies on the xcomment package, which was once part of the bundle, but now has a separate existence.

sepnum (tl-latex2)

Provides a command to print a number with (potentially different) separators every three digits in the parts either side of the decimal point (the point itself is also configurable). The macro is fully expandable and not fragile (unless one of the separators is). There is also a command sepnumform, that may be used when defining the<counter> macros.

setspace (tl-latex2)

Provides support for setting the spacing between lines in a document. Package options include singlespacing, onehalfspacing, and doublespacing. Alternatively the spacing can be changed as required with the singlespacing, onehalfspacing, and doublespacing commands. Other size spacings also available.

subfig (tl-latex2)

The package provides support for the manipulation and reference of small or 'sub' figures and tables within a single figure or table environment. It is convenient to use this package when your subfigures are to be separately captioned, referenced, or are to be included in the List-of-Figures. A new subfigure command is introduced which can be used inside a figure environment for each subfigure. An optional first argument is used as the caption for that subfigure. This package supersedes the subfigure package (which is no longer maintained). The name was changed since the package is completely backward compatible with the older package The major advantage to the new package is that the user interface is keyword/value driven and easier to use. To ease the transition from the subfigure package, the distribution it includes a configuration file (subfig.cfg) which nearly emulates the subfigure package. The functionality of the package is provided by the (more recent still) subcaption package.

textcase (tl-latex2)

The textcase package offers commands MakeTextUppercase and MakeTextLowercase are similar to the standard MakeUppercase and MakeLowercase, but they do not change the case of any sections of mathematics, or the arguments of cite, label and ref commands within the argument. A further command NoCaseChange does nothing but suppress case change within its argument, so to force uppercase of a section including an environment, one might say: MakeTextUppercase{...NoCaseChange{begin{foo}} ...NoCaseChange{end{foo}}...}

thumbpdf (tl-latex2)

A Perl script that provides support for thumbnails in pdfTeX and dvips/ps2pdf. The script uses ghostscript to generate the thumbnails which get represented in a TeX readable file that is read by the package thumbpdf.sty to automatically include the thumbnails. This arrangement works with both plain TeX and LaTeX.

typehtml (tl-latex2)

Can handle almost all of HTML2, and most of the math fragment of the draft HTML3.

underscore (tl-latex2)

With the package, _ in text mode (i.e., textunderscore) prints an underscore so that hyphenation of words either side of it is not affected; a package option controls whether an actual hyphenation point appears after the underscore, or merely a break point. The package also arranges that, while in text, '_' itself behaves as textunderscore (the behaviour of _ in maths mode is not affected).

xcolor (tl-latex2)

The package starts from the basic facilities of the color package, and provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like color{red!30!green!40!blue}.

xkeyval (tl-latex2)

This package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys.

IEEEconf (tl-publishers)

The IEEEconf class implements the formatting dictated by the IEEE Computer Society Press for conference proceedings.

IEEEtran (tl-publishers)

The class and its BibTeX style enable authors to produce officially-correct output for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) transactions, journals and conferences.

aiaa (tl-publishers)

A bundle of LaTeX/BibTeX files and sample documents to aid those producing papers and journal articles according to the guidelines of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).

ametsoc (tl-publishers)

This bundle contains all the files necessary to write an article using LaTeX for the American Meteorological Society journals. The article and bibliography style files are provided (with documentation) and a blank template for authors to use when writing their article. Also available is a separate style package used to format a two-column, journal page layout draft for the author's personal use.

This LaTeX document shell is created for the standard formatting of final exams in The Australian National University.

aomart (tl-publishers)

The package provides a class for typesetting articles for The Annals of Mathematics.

apa (tl-publishers)

A LaTeX class to format text according to the American Psychological Association Publication Manual (5th ed.) specifications for manuscripts or to the APA journal look found in journals like the Journal of Experimental Psychology etc. In addition, it provides regular LaTeX-like output with a few enhancements and APA-motivated changes. Note that the apa6 (covering the 6th edition of the manual) is now commonly in use. Apacite, which used to work with this class, has now been updated for use with apa6.

apa6 (tl-publishers)

The class formats documents in APA style (6th Edition). It provides a full set of facilities in three different output modes (journal-like appearance, double-spaced manuscript, LaTeX- like document), in contrast to the earlier apa6e, which only formats double-spaced manuscripts in APA style. The class can mask author identity for copies for use in masked peer review. Citations are provided using the apacite bundle; the class requires that package if citations are to be typeset. The class is a development of the apa class (which is no longer maintained).

apa6e (tl-publishers)

This is a minimalist class file for formatting manuscripts in the style described in the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition guidelines. The apa6 class provides better coverage of the requirements.

arsclassica (tl-publishers)

The package changes some typographical points of the ClassicThesis style, by Andre Miede. It enables the user to reproduce the look of the guide The art of writing with LaTeX (the web page is in Italian).

articleingud (tl-publishers)

The class is for articles published in INGENIERIA review. It is derived from the standard LaTeX class article.

asaetr (tl-publishers)

A class and BibTeX style for submissions to the Transactions of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. Also included is the Metafont source of a slanted Computer Modern Caps and Small Caps font.

ascelike (tl-publishers)

A document class and bibliographic style that prepares documents in the style required by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). These are unofficial files, not sanctioned by that organization, and the files specifically give this caveat. Also included is a short documentation/example of how to use the class.

bangorcsthesis (tl-publishers)

The class typesets thesis/dissertation documents for all levels (i.e., both undergraduate and graduate students may use the class). It also provides macros designed to optimise the process of producing a thesis.

beamer-FUBerlin (tl-publishers)

The bundle provides a beamer-derived class and a theme style file for the corporate design of the Free University in Berlin. Users may use the class itself (FUbeamer) or use the theme in the usual way with usetheme{BerlinFU}. Examples of using both the class and the theme are provided; the PDF is visually identical, so the catalogue only lists one; the sources of the examples do of course differ.

bgteubner (tl-publishers)

The bgteubner document class has been programmed by order of the Teubner Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany, to ensure that books of this publisher have a unique layout. Unfortunately, most of the documentation is only available in German. Since the document class is intended to generate a unique layout, many things (layout etc.) are fixed and cannot be altered by the user. If you want to use the document class for another purpose than publishing with the Teubner Verlag, this may arrise unwanted restrictions (For instance, the document class provides only two paper sizes: DIN A-5 and 17cm x 24cm; only two font families are supported: Times and European Computer Modern).

br-lex (tl-publishers)

This class implements rules to typeset Brazilian legal texts. Its purpose is to be an easy-to-use implementation for the end- user.

brandeis-dissertation (tl-publishers)

The class will enable the user to typeset a dissertation which adheres to the formatting guidelines of Brandeis University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS).

cascadilla (tl-publishers)

The packages are based on pennames.sty by Michel Goosens and Eric van Herwijnen. Heppennames re-implements the particle names in pennames.sty, with some additions and alterations and greater flexibility and robustness due to the hepparticles structures, which were written for this purpose. Hepnicenames provides the main non-resonant particle names from heppennames with more "friendly" names.

hepparticles (tl-science)

HEPparticles is a set of macros for typesetting high energy particle names, to meet the following criteria: 1. The main particle name is a Roman or Greek symbol, to be typeset in upright font in normal contexts. 2. Additionally a superscript and/or subscript may follow the main symbol. 3. Particle resonances may also have a resonance specifier which is typeset in parentheses following the main symbol. In general the parentheses may also be followed by sub- and superscripts. 4. The particle names are expected to be used both in and out of mathematical contexts. 5. If the surrounding text is bold or italic then the particle name should adapt to that context as best as possible (this may not be possible for Greek symbols). A consequence of point 5 is that the well-known problems with boldness of particle names in section titles, headers and tables of contents automatically disappear if these macros are used.

hepthesis (tl-science)

Hepthesis is a LaTeX class for typesetting large academic reports, in particular PhD theses. It was originally developed for typesetting the author's high-energy physics PhD thesis and includes some features specifically tailored to such an application.

This collection of files contains LaTeX packages for posters of ISO A3 size and larger (ISO A0 is the default size). American paper sizes and custom paper are supported. In particular, sciposter.cls defines a document class which allows cutting and pasting most of an article to a poster without any editing (save reducing the size) -- see the manual. Sciposter does work for LaTeX, not just pdfLaTeX. However, xdvi produces strange results, though a recent version of dvips does create good ps- files from the dvi files. Also note that logos must either be put in the current working directory or in the directories of your LaTeX distribution. For some reason graphicspath settings are ignored.

sclang-prettifier (tl-science)

Built on top of the listings package, the package allows effortless prettyprinting of SuperCollider source code in documents typeset with LaTeX & friends.

sfg (tl-science)

Defines some commands to draw signal flow graphs as used by electrical and electronics engineers and graph theorists. Requires fp and pstricks packages (and a relatively fast machine).

siunitx (tl-science)

Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be used. However, different countries and publishers have differing conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units). A number of LaTeX packages have been developed to provide consistent application of the various rules: SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units are the leading examples. The numprint package provides a large number of number-related functions, while dcolumn and rccol provide tools for typesetting tabular numbers. The siunitx package takes the best from the existing packages, and adds new features and a consistent interface. A number of new ideas have been incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing provision. The package also provides backward-compatibility with SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one package to handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX users. The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the l3kernel and l3packages bundles.

steinmetz (tl-science)

The steinmetz package provides a command for typesetting complex numbers in the Steinmetz notation used in electrotechnics as: <modulus>;<argument or phase inside an angle symbol> The package makes use of pict2e.

It assists in the analysis of textual data such as interview transcripts and field notes by providing the LaTeX user with macros which are used to markup textual information -- for example, in-depth interviews.

unitsdef (tl-science)

Many packages for typesetting units have been written for use in LaTeX2e. Some define macros to typeset a lot of units but do not suit to the actual font settings, some make the characters needed available but do not predefine any unit. This package tries to comply with both requirements. It predefines common units, defines an easy to use interface to define new units and changes the output concerning to the surrounding font settings.

xymtex (tl-science)

XyMTeX is a set of packages for drawing a wide variety of chemical structural formulas in a way that reflects their structure. The package provides three output modes: 'LaTeX', 'PostScript' and 'PDF'. XyMTeX's commands have a systematic set of arguments for specifying substituents and their positions, endocyclic double bonds, and bond patterns. In some cases there are additional arguments for specifying hetero-atoms on the vertices of heterocycles. It is believed that this systematic design allows XyMTeX to operate as a practical (device- independent) tool for use with LaTeX.

This is a biblatex numeric style based on the design of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

biblatex-opcit-booktitle (tl-bibtex)

The default citation styles verbose-trad1+; verbose-trad2 ; verbose-trad3 use the op. cit. form in order to have shorter reference when a title have been already cited. However, when you cite two entries which share the same booktitle but not the same title, the op. cit. mechanism does not work. This package enables to obtain references like this: Author1, Title, in Booktitle, Location, Publiser, Year, pages xxx Author2, Title2, in Booktitle, op. cit, pages.

biblatex-philosophy (tl-bibtex)

The bundle offers two styles - philosophy-classic and philosophy-modern - that facilitate the production of two different kinds of bibliography, based on the authoryear style, with options and features to manage the information about the translation of foreign texts or their reprints. Though the package's default settings are based on the conventions used in Italian publications, these styles can be used with every language recognized by babel, possibly with some simple redefinitions.

biblatex-phys (tl-bibtex)

The biblatex-phys package provides an implementation of the bibliography styles of both the AIP and the APS for biblatex. This implementation follows standard biblatex conventions, and can be used simply by loading biblatex with the appropriate option: usepackage[style=phys]{biblatex} A demonstration database is provided to show how to format input for the style. Style options are provided to cover the minor formatting variations between the AIP and APS bibliography styles.

biblatex-publist (tl-bibtex)

The package provides a BibLaTeX bibliography style file (*.bbx) for publication lists. The style file draws on BibLaTeX's authoryear style, but provides some extra features often desired for publication lists, such as the omission of the author's own name from author or editor data.

biblatex-source-division (tl-bibtex)

The package enables the user to make reference to "division marks" (such as book, chapter, section), in the document being referenced, in addition to the page-based references that BibTeX-based citations have always had. The citation is made in the same way as the LaTeX standard, but what's inside the square brackets may include the "division" specification, as in cite[(<division spec.>)<page number>]{<document>}

biblatex-subseries (tl-bibtex)

Some publishers organize book series with subseries. In this case, two numbers are associated with one volume: the number inside the series and the number inside the subseries. That is the case of the series Corpus Scriptorium Christianorum Orientalium published by Peeters. This package provides new fields to manage such system.

biblatex-swiss-legal (tl-bibtex)

The package provides biblatex bibliography and citation styles for documents written in accordance with Swiss legal citation standards. Currently, the package is usable for French and German documents.

biblatex-true-citepages-omit (tl-bibtex)

This package deals with a limitation of the citepages=omit option of the verbose family of biblatex citestyles. The option works when you cite[xx]{key}, but not when you cite[pno~xx, some text]{key}. The package corrects this problem.

biblatex (tl-bibtex)

Biblatex is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX. It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level. With biblatex, BibTeX is only used (if it is used at all) to sort the bibliography and to generate labels. Formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by TeX macros (the BibTeX-based mechanism embeds some parts of formatting in the BibTeX style file. Good working knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles; nothing related to BibTeX's language is needed. In fact, users need not remain bound to BibTeX for use with biblatex: an alternative bibliography processor biblatex- biber is available. Development of biblatex and biblatex-biber is closely coupled; the present release of biblatex is designed to work with biblatex-biber version 0.9.6. The package needs e- TeX, and uses the author's etoolbox and logreq packages. For users of biblatex-biber, version 0.9 is required (at least; refer to the notes for the version of biblatex-biber that you are using). Apart from the features unique to biblatex, the package also incorporates core features of the following packages: babelbib, bibtopic, bibunits, chapterbib, cite, inlinebib, mcite and mciteplus, mlbib, multibib, splitbib. Biblatex supports split bibliographies and multiple bibliographies within one document, and separate lists of bibliographic shorthands. Bibliographies may be subdivided into parts (by chapter, by section, etc.) and/or segmented by topics (by type, by keyword, etc.). Biblatex is fully localized and can interface with the babel.

biblist (tl-bibtex)

The package provides the means of listing an entire BibTeX database, avoiding the potentially large (macro) impact associated with nocite{*}.

bibtopic (tl-bibtex)

The package allows the user to include several bibliographies covering different 'topics' or bibliographic material into a document (e.g., one bibliography for primary literature and one for secondary literature). The package provides commands to include either all references from a .bib file, only the references actually cited or those not cited in your document. The user has to construct a separate .bib file for each bibliographic 'topic', each of which will be processed separately by BibTeX. If you want to have bibliographies specific to one part of a document, see the packages bibunits or chapterbib.

bibtopicprefix (tl-bibtex)

The package permits users to apply prefixes (fixed strings) to references to entries in bibliographies produced by the bibtopic package.

bibunits (tl-bibtex)

The package provide a mechanism to generate separate bibliographies for different units (chapters, sections or bibunit-environments) of a text. The package separates the citations of each unit of text into a separate file to be processed by BibTeX. The global bibliography section produced by LaTeX may also appear in the document and citations can be placed in both the local unit and the global bibliographies at the same time. The package is compatible with koma-script and with the babel French option frenchb.

bookdb (tl-bibtex)

This package provides an extended book entry for use in cataloguing a home library. The extensions include fields for binding, category, collator, condition, copy, illustrations, introduction, location, pages, size, value, volumes.

breakcites (tl-bibtex)

Makes a very minor change to the operation of the cite command. Note that the change is not necessary in unmodified LaTeX; however, there remain packages that restore the undesirable behaviour of the command as provided in LaTeX 2.09. (Note that neither cite nor natbib make this mistake.)

cell (tl-bibtex)

This is an "apa-like" style (cf. apalike.bst in the BibTeX distribution), developed from the same author's JMB style. A supporting LaTeX package is also provided.

chbibref (tl-bibtex)

Defines a single command, setbibref, which sets whichever of bibname and refname is in use. (bibname is used in book.cls and report.cls, and refname is used in article.cls.)

chembst (tl-bibtex)

The package offers a collection of advanced BibTeX style files suitable for publications in chemistry journals. Currently, style files for journals published by the American Chemical Society, Wiley-VCH and The Royal Society of Chemistry are available. The style files support advanced features such as automatic formatting of errata or creating an appropriate entry for publications in Angewandte Chemie where both English and German should be cited simultaneously.

chicago-annote (tl-bibtex)

This is a revision of chicagoa.bst, using the commonly-used annote field in place of the original's annotation.

chicago (tl-bibtex)

Chicago is a BibTeX style that follows the "B" reference style of the 13th Edition of the Chicago manual of style; a LaTeX package (to LaTeX 2.09 conventions) is also provided. The style was derived from the newapa style.

dk-bib (tl-bibtex)

Dk-bib is a translation of the four standard BibTeX style files (abbrv, alpha, plain and unsrt) and the apalike style file into Danish. The files have been extended with URL, ISBN, ISSN, annote and printing fields which can be enabled through a LaTeX style file. Dk-bib also comes with a couple of Danish sorting order files for BibTeX8.

doipubmed (tl-bibtex)

The package provides the commands doi, pubmed and citeurl. These commands are primarily designed for use in bibliographies. A LaTeX2HTML style file is also provided.

economic (tl-bibtex)

The bundle offers macros and BibTeX styles for the American Economic Review (AER), the American Journal of Agricultural Economics (AJAE), the Canadian Journal of Economics (CJE), the European Review of Agricultural Economics (ERAE), the International Economic Review (IER) and Economica. The macro sets are based on (and require) the harvard package, and all provide variations of author-date styles of presentation.

fbs (tl-bibtex)

A BibTeX style file made with custom-bib to fit Frontiers in Bioscience requirements: all authors, no et al, full author names, initials abbreviated; only abbreviated journal name italicised, no abbreviation dots; only year, no month, at end of reference; and DOI excluded, ISSN excluded.

figbib (tl-bibtex)

FigBib lets you organize your figures in BibTeX databases. Some FigBib features are: Store and manage figures in a BibTeX database; Include figures in your LaTeX document with one short command; Generate a List of Figures containing more/other information than the figure captions; Control with one switch where to output the figures, either as usual float objects or in a separate part at the end of your document.

footbib (tl-bibtex)

The package makes bibliographic references appear as footnotes. It defines a command footcite which is similar to the LaTeX cite command but the references cited in this way appear at the bottom of the pages. This 'foot bibliography' does not conflict with the standard one and both may exist simultaneously in a document. The command cite may still be used to produce the standard bibliography. The foot bibliography uses its own style and bibliographic database which may be specified independently of the standard one. Any standard bibliography style may be used.

francais-bst (tl-bibtex)

The package provides bibliographies (in French) conforming to the rules in "Guide de la communication ecrite" (Malo, M., Quebec Amerique, 1996. ISBN 978-2-8903-7875-9) The BibTeX styles were generated using custom-bib and they are compatible with natbib

geschichtsfrkl (tl-bibtex)

The package provides a BibLaTeX style, (mostly) meeting the requirements of the History Faculty of the University of Freiburg (Germany).

harvard (tl-bibtex)

This is a re-implementation, for LaTeX 2e, of the original Harvard package. The bundle contains the LaTeX package, several BibTeX styles, and a 'Perl package' for use with LaTeX2HTML. Harvard is an author-year citation style (all but the first author are suppressed in second and subsequent citations of the same entry); the package defines several variant styles: apsr.bst for the American Political Science Review; agsm.bst for Australian Government publications; dcu.bst from the Design Computing Unit of the University of Sydney; kluwer.bstwhich aims at the format preferred in Kluwer publications; nederlands.bst which deals with sorting Dutch names with prefixes (such as van) according to Dutch rules, together with several styles whose authors offer no description of their behaviour.

harvmac (tl-bibtex)

Known as 'Harvard macros', since written at that University.

historische-zeitschrift (tl-bibtex)

The package provides citations according with the house style of the 'Historische Zeitschrift', a German historical journal. The scheme is a fullcite for the first citation and 'Author, Shorttitle (as note N, P)' for later citations (P being the page number). For further details, see the description of the house style at the journal's site. The package depends on biblatex (version 0.8 or higher) as well as etoolbox (version 1.5 or higher).

ijqc (tl-bibtex)

ijqc.bst is a BibTeX style file to support publication in Wiley's International Journal of Quantum Chemistry. It is not in any way officially endorsed by the publisher or editors, and is provided without any warranty one could ever think of.

inlinebib (tl-bibtex)

A BibTeX style and a LaTeX package that allow for a full bibliography at the end of the document as well as citation details in footnotes. The footnote details include "op. cit." and "ibid." contractions.

iopart-num (tl-bibtex)

A BibTeX style providing numeric citation in Harvard-like format. Intended for use with Institute of Physics (IOP) journals, including Journal of Physics.

jneurosci (tl-bibtex)

This is a slightly modified version of the namedplus style, which fully conforms with the Journal of Neuroscience citation style. It should be characterised as an author-date citation style; a BibTeX style and a LaTeX package are provided.

jurabib (tl-bibtex)

This package enables automated citation with BibTeX for legal studies and the humanities. In addition, the package provides commands for specifying editors in a commentary in a convenient way. Simplified formatting of the citation as well as the bibliography entry is also provided. It is possible to display the (short) title of a work only if an authors is cited with multiple works. Giving a full citation in the text, conforming to the bibliography entry, is supported. Several options are provided which might be of special interest for those outside legal studies--for instance, displaying multiple full citations. In addition, the format of last names and first names of authors may be changed easily. Cross references to other footnotes are possible. Language dependent handling of bibliography entries is possible by the special language field.

ksfh_nat (tl-bibtex)

The package supports bibliographies as standard for KSFH (Katholische Stiftungsfachhochschule) Munich. BibTeX entries in article, book, inbook, incollection and misc formats are supported.

listbib (tl-bibtex)

Generates listings of bibliographic data bases in BibTeX format -- for example for archival purposes. Included is a listbib.bst which is better suited for this purpose than the standard styles.

logreq (tl-bibtex)

The package helps to automate a typical LaTeX workflow that involves running LaTeX several times, running tools such as BibTeX or makeindex, and so on. It will log requests like "please rerun LaTeX" or "please run BibTeX on file X" to an external XML file which lists all open tasks in a machine- readable format. Compiler scripts and integrated LaTeX editing environments may parse this file to determine the next steps in the workflow in a way that is more efficient than parsing the main log file. In sum, the package will do two things: enable package authors to use LaTeX commands to issue requests, collect all requests from all packages and write them to an external XML file at the end of the document.

margbib (tl-bibtex)

The package redefines the 'thebibliography' environment to place the citation key into the margin.

multibib (tl-bibtex)

The package the creation of references to multiple bibliographies within one document. It thus provides complementary functionality to packages like bibunits and chapterbib, which allow the creation of one bibliography for multiple, but different parts of the document. Multibib is compatible with inlinebib, natbib, and koma-script.

multibibliography (tl-bibtex)

Conventional standards for bibliography styles impose a forced choice between index and name/year citations, and corresponding references. The package avoids this choice, by providing alphabetic, sequenced, and even chronological orderings of references. Inline citations, that integrate these heterogeneous styles, are also supported (and work with other bibliography packages).

munich (tl-bibtex)

The Munich BibTeX style is produced with custom-bib, as a German (and, more generally, Continental European) alternative to such author-date styles as harvard and oxford.

nar (tl-bibtex)

This BibTeX bibliography style is for the journal Nucleic Acid Research. It was adapted from the standard unsrt.bst style file.

nmbib (tl-bibtex)

This package is a rewrite of the multibibliography package providing multiple bibliographies with different sorting. The new version offers a number of citation commands, streamlines the creation of bibliographies, ensures compatibility with the natbib package, and provides other improvements.

notes2bib (tl-bibtex)

The package defines a new type of note, bibnote, which will always be added to the bibliography. The package allows footnotes and endnotes to be moved into the bibliography in the same way. The package can be used with natbib and biblatex as well as plain LaTeX citations. Both sorted and unsorted bibliography styles are supported. The package uses the LaTeX 3 macros and the associated xpackages bundle. It also makes use of the e-TeX extensions (any post-2005 LaTeX distribution will provide these by default, but users of older systems may need to use an elatex command or equivalent). The package relies on LaTeX 3 support from the l3kernel and l3packages bundles.

oscola (tl-bibtex)

The package provides a set of style files for use with Biblatex (v 2+) and Biber (v 1+) to produce citations and bibliographies in accordance with the widely-used Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities. It also includes facilities for constructing tables of cases and legislation from citations (in conjunction with appropriate indexing packages).

perception (tl-bibtex)

A product of custom-bib, provided simply to save others' time.

pnas2009 (tl-bibtex)

This style produces bibliographies in the format of "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA". The style was derived from the standard unsrt.bst and adapted to the new (2009) formatting rules.

rsc (tl-bibtex)

The rsc package provides a BibTeX style in accordance with the requirements of the Royal Society of Chemistry. It was originally based on the file pccp.bst, but also implements a number of styles from the achemso package. The package is now a stub for the chemstyle package, which the author developed to unify the writing of articles with a chemistry content.

showtags (tl-bibtex)

Prints the tag right-aligned on each line of the bibliography.

sort-by-letters (tl-bibtex)

This bundle contains several bibliography styles for separating a document's references by the first letter of the first author/editor in the bibliography entry. The styles are adapted from standard ones or from natbib ones.

splitbib (tl-bibtex)

This package enables you to split a bibliography into several categories and subcategories. It does not depend on BibTeX: any bibliography may be split and reordered.

turabian-formatting (tl-bibtex)

The turabian-formatting package provides Chicago-style formatting based on Kate L. Turabian's "A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers" (8th edition).

uni-wtal-ger (tl-bibtex)

The package defines a biblatex citation style based on the author-title style of biblatex-dw. The citations are optimised for literary studies in faculty of humanities at the Bergische Universitat Wuppertal.

uni-wtal-lin (tl-bibtex)

The package defines a biblatex citation style based on the standard author-year style. The citations are optimised for linguistic studies at the Institute of Linguistics at the Bergische Universitat Wuppertal.

urlbst (tl-bibtex)

Supports a new BibTeX 'webpage' entry type and 'url', 'lastchecked', and 'eprint' and 'DOI' fields. The Perl script urlbst can be used to add this support to an arbitrary .bst file which has a reasonably conventional structure. The result is meant to be robust rather than pretty.

usebib (tl-bibtex)

The package is described by its author as "a poor person's replacement for the more powerful methods provided by biblatex to access data from a .bib file". Its principle commands are bibinput (which specifies a database to use) and usebibdata (which typesets a single field from a specified entry in that database.

vak (tl-bibtex)

The file can be used to format the bibliographies of PhD theses, books etc., according to the latest Russian standards: GOST 7.82 - 2001 and GOST 7.1 - 2003. It introduces the minimum number of new entries and styles to cover all frequently used situations. The style file provides an easy way to perform a semiautomatic, or a completely manual sort of the list of the references. Processing bibliographies produced by the style requires a 8-bit BibTeX system.

xcite (tl-bibtex)

The package lets you use citation keys from another document, just as the xr package allows cross-document use of labels.

abbr (tl-generic2)

The package provides some simple macros to support abbreviations in Plain TeX or LaTeX. It allows writing (e.g.) <TEX> instead of TeX, hence frees users from having to escape space after parameterless macros.

abstyles (tl-generic2)

A family of modifications of the standard BibTeX styles whose behaviour may be changed by changing the user document, without change to the styles themselves. The package is largely used nowadays in its adaptation for working with Babel.

barr (tl-generic2)

Diagxy is a general diagramming package, useful for diagrams in a number of mathematical disciplines. Diagxy is a development of an earlier (successful) package to use the facilities of the xypic bundle.

bitelist (tl-generic2)

The package provides commands for "splitting" a token list at the first occurrence of another (specified) token list. I.e., for given token lists s, t return b and the shortest a, such that t = a s b. The package's mechanism differs from those of packages providing similar features, in the following ways: the method uses TeX's mechanism of reading delimited macro parameters; splitting macros work by pure expansion, without assignments; the operation is carried out in a single macro call. A variant of the operation is provided, that retains outer braces.

borceux (tl-generic2)

The macros support the construction of diagrams, such as those that appear in category theory texts. The user gives the list of vertices and arrows to be included, just as when composing a matrix, and the program takes care of computing the dimensions of the arrows and realizing the pagesetting. All the user has to do about the arrows is to specify their type (monomorphism, pair of adjoint arrows, etc.) and their direction (north, south- east, etc.); 12 types and 32 directions are available.

c-pascal (tl-generic2)

A TeX macro package for easy typesetting programs in Python, C and Pascal. Program source files may also be input.

catcodes (tl-generic2)

The bundle deals with category code switching; the packages of the bundle should work with any TeX format (with the support of the plainpkg package). The bundle provides: stacklet.sty, which supports stacks that control the use of different catcodes; actcodes.sty, which deals with active characters; and catchdq.sty, which provides a simple quotation character control mechanism.

chronosys (tl-generic2)

Macros to produce time line diagrams. Interfaces for Plain TeX, Context and LaTeX are provided.

colorsep (tl-generic2)

Support for colour separation when using dvips.

dinat (tl-generic2)

Bibliography style files intended for texts in german. They draw up bibliographies in accordance with the german DIN 1505, parts 2 and 3.

dirtree (tl-generic2)

This package is designed to emulate the way windows explorer displays directory and file trees, with the root at top left, and each level of subtree displaying one step in to the right. The macros work equally well with Plain TeX and with LaTeX.

docbytex (tl-generic2)

The package creates documentation from C source code, or other programming languages.

dowith (tl-generic2)

The package provides macros for applying a command to all elements of a list without separators, such as 'DoWithAllIn{<cmd>}{<list-macro>}', and also for extending and reducing macros storing such lists. Applications in mind belonged to LaTeX, but the package should work with other formats as well. Loop and list macros in other packages are discussed. A further package, domore, is also provided, which enhances the functionality of dowith.

eijkhout (tl-generic2)

Three unrelated packages: DB_process, to parse and process database output; CD_labeler, to typeset user text to fit on a CD label; and repeat, a nestable, generic loop macro.

encxvlna (tl-generic2)

The package provides tools for inserting nonbreakable spaces after nonsyllabic prepositions and single letter conjunctions as required by Czech and Slovak typographical rules. It is implemented using encTeX and provides files both for plain TeX and LaTeX. The LaTeX solution tries to avoid conflicts with other packages.

epigram (tl-generic2)

The package determines (on the basis of the width of the text of the epigram, laid out on a single line) whether to produce a line or a displayed paragraph.

fenixpar (tl-generic2)

The bundle provides two packages, fenxitok and fenixpar. The fenixtok package provides user macros to add material to a token register; the material will be (automatically) removed from the token register when the register is executed. Material may be added either to the left or to the right, and care is taken not to override any redefinition that may be included in the token register itself. The fenixpar package uses the macros of fenixtok to provide a user interface to manipulation of the everypar token register. The packages require the e-TeX extensions; with them, they work either with Plain TeX or with LaTeX.

fltpoint (tl-generic2)

The package provides simple floating point operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and rounding). Used, for example, by rccol.

fntproof (tl-generic2)

The package implements all the font testing commands of Knuth's testfont.tex, but arranges that information necessary for each command is supplied as arguments to that command, rather than prompted for. This makes it possible to type all the tests in one command line, and easy to input the package in a file and to use the commands there. A few additional commands supporting this last purpose are also made available.

gates (tl-generic2)

The package provides the means of writing code in a modular fashion: big macros or functions are divided into small chunks (called gates) with names, which can be externally controlled (e.g. they can be disabled, subjected to conditionals, loops...) and/or augmented with new chunks. Thus complex code may easily be customised without having to rewrite it, or even understand its implementation: the behavior of existing gates can be modified, and new ones can be added, without endangering the whole design. This allows code to be hacked in ways the original authors might have never envisioned. The gates package is implemented independently for both TeX and Lua. The TeX implementation, running in any current environment, requires the texapi package, whereas the Lua version can be run with any Lua interpreter, not just LuaTeX.

ifetex (tl-generic2)

The package provides the switch ifetex which indicates whether e-TeX is available or not. The package can be loaded as LaTeX package using usepackage{ifetex} or in plain TeX using input ifetex. In either case it aborts silently if the ifetex macro is already defined. The package's test is whether eTeXversion is defined as a primitive; if it is, the package assumes e-TeX features are available.

iftex (tl-generic2)

The package, which works both for Plain TeX and for LaTeX, defines the ifPDFTeX, ifXeTeX, and ifLuaTeX conditionals for testing which engine is being used for typesetting. The package also provides the RequirePDFTeX, RequireXeTeX, and RequireLuaTeX commands which throw an error if pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX (respectively) is not the engine in use.

insbox (tl-generic2)

The package provides convenient bundling of the parshape primitive. LaTeX users should note that this is a generic package, and should be loaded using input .

lambda-lists (tl-generic2)

These list-processing macros avoid the reassignments employed in the macros shown in Appendix D of the TeXbook: all the manipulations take place in what Knuth is pleased to call "TeX's mouth".

langcode (tl-generic2)

The package provides a command uselangcode{<code>} to adjust language-dependent settings such as key words, typographical conventions and language codes (ISO 639-1). The package provides a means of selecting macros according to the specified code, for preparing a document that is to be separately typeset in different laguages. The package is dependent on the plainpkg package, and is already in use in the morehype and catcodes packages.

lecturer (tl-generic2)

The package creates slides for on-screen presentations based on PDF features without manipulating TeX's typesetting process. The presentation flow relies on PDF's abilities to display content step by step. Features include: Free positioning of anything anywhere in painted areas on the slide, as well as in the main textblock; Numerous attributes to control the layout and the presentation flow, from TeX's primitive dimensions to the visibility of steps; Feature inheritance from global to local settings, with intermediate types; Basic drawing facilities to produce symbols, e.g., for list items or buttons; Colours, transparency, shades, and pictures; Navigation with links, pop-up menus, and customizable bookmarks; Easy switch between presentation and handout; and PDF transitions. Besides the traditional documentation, the distribution includes visual documentation and six demo presentations ranging from geometric abstraction to classic style to silly video game. Lecturer is designed to work with all formats, but presently fails with ConTeXt MkIV (because of clashes in management of PDF objects, probably), works only with pdfTeX and LuaTeX for the time being, and requires texapi and yax, both v.1.02.

librarian (tl-generic2)

The package extracts information in bib files, makes it available in the current document, and sorts lists of entries according to that information and the user's specifications. Citation and bibliography styles can then be written directly in TeX, without any use of BibTeX. Creating references thus depends entirely on the user's skill in TeX. The package works with all formats that use plain TeX's basic syntactic sugar; the distribution includes a third-party file for ConTeXt and a style file for LaTeX. As an example of use, an Author (Year) style is given in a separate file and explained in the documentation.

mathdots (tl-generic2)

Redefines ddots and vdots, and defines iddots. The dots produced by iddots slant in the opposite direction to ddots. All the commands are designed to change size appropriately in scripts, as well as in response to LaTeX size changing commands. The commands may also be used in plain TeX.

metatex (tl-generic2)

METATeX is a set of plain TeX and Metafont macros that you can use to define both the text and the figures in a single source file. Because METATeX sets up two way communication, from TeX to Metafont and back from Metafont to TeX, drawing dimensions can be controlled by TeX and labels can be located by Metafont. Only standard features of TeX and Metafont are used, but two runs of TeX and one of Metafont are needed.

midnight (tl-generic2)

Included are: quire: making booklets, etc.; gloss: vertically align words in consecutive sentences; loop: a looping construct; dolines: 'meta'-macros to separate arguments by newlines; labels: address labels and bulk mail letters; styledef: selectively input part of a file; and border: borders around boxes.

navigator (tl-generic2)

Navigator implements PDF features for all formats (with some limitations in ConTeXt) with PDFTeX, LuaTeX and XeTeX (i.e. xdvipdfmx). Features include: Customizable outlines (i.e. bookmarks); Anchors; Links and actions (e.g. JavaScript or user- defined PDF actions); File embedding (not in ConTeXt); Document information and PDF viewer's display (not in ConTeXt); and Commands to create and use raw PDF objects. Navigator requires texapi and yax, both version at least 1.03.

ofs (tl-generic2)

OFS (Olsak's Font System) is a set of Plain TeX and LaTeX macros for managing large font collections; it has been used by Czech/Slovak users for many years. Main features include: Mapping from long names of fonts to the metric file name. The user can specify only exact long names in documents. Support for many font encodings. Printing of catalogues of fonts and test samples of font families; the interactive macro showfonts shows all font families you have installed via OFS. The user interface is the same for Plain TeX and for LaTeX, but the implementation differs: the LaTeX variant of OFS uses NFSS, but the Plain variant implements its own font management (which may even be better than NFSS) Support for math fonts including TX fonts.

pdf-trans (tl-generic2)

pdf-trans is a set of macros offering various transformations of TeX boxes (based on plain and pdfeTeX primitives). It was initially inspired by trans.tex, remade to work with pdfTeX.

plainpkg (tl-generic2)

The package provides a minimal method for making generic (i.e., TeX-format-independent) packaged, combining maybeload functionality, fallback definitions for LaTeX ProvidesPackage and RequirePackage functionality, and handling of arbitrary (multiple) "private letters" (analagous LaTeX packages' use of "@") in nested package files. The documentation contains a central reference for making and using generic packages based on the package.

schemata (tl-generic2)

The package facilitates the creation of topical schemata, outlines that use braces (or facsimiles thereof) to illustrate the breakdown of concepts and categories in Scholastic thought from late medieval and early modern periods.

shade (tl-generic2)

The package provides a shaded backdrop to a box of text. It uses a Metafont font (provided) which generates to appropriate shading dependent on the resolution used in the Metafont printer parameters.

systeme (tl-generic2)

The package allows you to enter systems of equations or inequalities in an intuitive way, and produces typeset output where the terms and signs are aligned vertically. The package works with plain TeX or LaTeX, but e-TeX is required. Cette petite extension permet de saisir des systemes d'equations ou inequations de facon intuitive, et produit un affichage ou les termes et les signes sont alignes verticalement.

tabto-generic (tl-generic2)

tabto{<length>} moves the typesetting position to <length> from the left margin of the paragraph. If the typesetting position is already further along, tabto starts a new line.

termmenu (tl-generic2)

When writing programs, it's often required to present the user with a list of options/actions. The user is then expected to select one of these options for the program to process. termmenu provides this mechanism for TeX. It requires only expl3 support, thus the l3kernel and l3packages are both required.

texapi (tl-generic2)

Texapi provides utility macros to write format-independent (and -aware) packages. It is similar in spirit to the etoolbox, except that it isn't tied to LaTeX. Tools include: engine and format detection, expansion control, command definition and manipulation, various testing macros, string operations, and highly customizable while and for loops. The package requires e- TeX (and, should you want to compile its documentation, the pitex package is also needed).

tracklang (tl-generic2)

The tracklang package is provided for package developers who want a simple interface to find out which languages the user has requested through packages such as babel or polyglossia. This package does not provide any translations! Its purpose is simply to track which languages have been requested by the user. Generic TeX code is in tracklang.tex for non-LaTeX users.

upca (tl-generic2)

The package defines a single macro upca, to print UPC-A barcodes.

xlop (tl-generic2)

Xlop (eXtra Large OPeration) will typeset arithmetic problems either in-line or "as in school" (using French school conventions). So for example, opadd{2}{3} can give either $2+3=5$ or something similar to: begin{tabular}{r} 2\ +3\ hline 5end{tabular}. Furthermore, numbers may be very large, e.g 200 figures (with a very long compilation time). Many other features allow to deal with numbers (tests, display, some high level operations, etc.)

yax (tl-generic2)

YaX is advertised as a key system, but it rather organizes attributes in parameters, which parameters can be executed, so that YaX is halfway between key management and macro definition (and actually hopes to provide a user's interface). Values assigned to attributes can be retrieved and tested in various ways, with full expandability ensured as much as possible. Finally, YaX's syntax is a quite peculiar (as few braces as possible), but may be customized. YaX is based on texapi and thus requires e-TeX.

edmac (tl-formats)

This is the type example package for typesetting scholarly critical editions.

eplain (tl-formats)

An extended version of the plain TeX format, adding support for bibliographies, tables of contents, enumerated lists, verbatim input of files, numbered equations, tables, two-column output, footnotes, hyperlinks in PDF output and commutative diagrams. Eplain can also load some of the more useful LaTeX packages, notably graphics, graphicx (an extended of version of graphics), color, autopict (a package instance of the LaTeX picture code), psfrag, and url.

lollipop (tl-formats)

Lollipop is "TeX made easy" -- it is a macro package that functions as a toolbox for writing TeX macros. Its main aim is to make macro writing so easy that implementing a fully new layout in TeX would become a matter of less than an hour for an average document. The aim is that such a task could be accomplished by someone with only a very basic training in TeX programming. Thus, Lollipop aims to make structured text formatting available in environments where typical users would switch to WYSIWYG packages for the freedom that such a mechanism offers. In addition, development of support for Lollipop documents written in RTL languages (such as Persian) is underway.

mltex (tl-formats)

MLTeX is a modification of TeX version >=3.0 that allows the hyphenation of words with accented letters using ordinary Computer Modern (CM) fonts. The system is distributed as a TeX change file.

psizzl (tl-formats)

PSIZZL is a TeX format for physics papers written at SLAC and used at several other places. It dates from rather early in the development of TeX82; as a result, some of the descriptions of limitations look rather quaint to modern eyes.

startex (tl-formats)

A TeX format designed to help students write short reports and essays. It provides the user with a suitable set of commands for such a task. It is also more robust than plain TeX and LaTeX.

texsis (tl-formats)

TeXsis is a TeX macro package which provides useful features for typesetting research papers and related documents. For example, it includes support specifically for: Automatic numbering of equations, figures, tables and references; Simplified control of type sizes, line spacing, footnotes, running headlines and footlines, and tables of contents, figures and tables; Specialized document formats for research papers, preprints and ``e-prints,'' conference proceedings, theses, books, referee reports, letters, and memoranda; Simplified means of constructing an index for a book or thesis; Easy to use double column formatting; Specialized environments for lists, theorems and proofs, centered or non-justified text, and listing computer code; Specialized macros for easily constructing ruled tables. TeXsis was originally developed for physicists, but others may also find it useful. It is completely compatible with Plain TeX.

classpack (tl-html-xml)

The package provides an experiment in using XML (specifically DocBook 5) to mark up and maintain LaTeX classes and packages. XSLT 2 styleheets generate the .dtx and .ins distribution files expected by end users.

jadetex (tl-html-xml)

Macro package on top of LaTeX to typeset TeX output of the Jade DSSSL implementation.

passivetex (tl-html-xml)

Packages providing XML parsing, UTF-8 parsing, Unicode entities, and common formatting object definitions for jadetex.

tex4ht (tl-html-xml)

A converter from TeX and LaTeX to SGML-based formats such as (X)HTML, MathML, OpenDocument, and DocBook, providing a configurable (La)TeX-based authoring system for hypertext. Tex4ht does not parse (La)TeX source (so that it avoids the difficulties encountered by many other converters, arising from the irregularity of (La)TeX syntax). Instead, Tex4ht uses (La)TeX itself (with an extra macro package) to produce a non- standard DVI file that it can then process. This technique allows TeX4ht to approach the robustness characteristic of restricted-syntax systems such as hyperlatex and gellmu. Note that CTAN no longer holds the definitive sources of the package: see the 'Readme' file.

xmltex (tl-html-xml)

The package provides an implementation of a parser for documents matching the XML 1.0 and XML Namespace Recommendations. In addition to parsing commands are provided to attatch TeX typesetting instructions to the various markup elemenets as they are encounted. Sample files for typesetting a subset of TEI, MathML, are included. Element and Attribute names, as well as character data, may use any characters allowed in XML, using UTF-8 or a suitable 8-bit encoding.

xmltexconfig (tl-html-xml)

a2ping (tl-utils)

a2ping is a Perl script command line utility written for Unix that converts many raster image and vector graphics formats to EPS or PDF and other page description formats. Accepted input file formats are: PS (PostScript), EPS, PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PNM, BMP, GIF, LBM, XPM, PCX, TGA. Accepted output formats are: EPS, PCL5, PDF, PDF1, PBM, PGM, PPM, PS, markedEPS, markedPS, PNG, XWD, BMP, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, XPM. a2ping delegates the low- level work to Ghostscript (GS), pdftops and sam2p. a2ping fixes many glitches during the EPS to EPS conversion, so its output is often more compatible and better embeddable than its input.

adhocfilelist (tl-utils)

The package provides a Unix shell script to display a list of LaTeX Provides...-command contexts on screen. Provision is made for controlling the searches that the package does. The package was developed on a Unix-like system, using (among other things) the gnu variant of the find command.

arara (tl-utils)

Arara is comparable with other well-known compilation tools like latexmk and rubber. The key difference is that that arara determines its actions from metadata in the source code, rather than relying on indirect resources, such as log file analysis.

bibtex8 (tl-utils)

An enhanced, portable C version of BibTeX. Enhanced by conversion to "big" (32-bit) capacity, addition of run-time selectable capacity and 8-bit support extensions. National character set and sorting order are controlled by an external configuration file. Various examples are included.

bibtexu (tl-utils)

bundledoc (tl-utils)

The bundledoc package is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles together all the classes, packages and files needed to build a given LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc. A script, arlatex, provides an alternative "archiving" mechanism, creating a single LaTeX file that contains all of the ancillary files of a LaTeX document, together with the document itself, using the filecontents* environment.

chktex (tl-utils)

The program reports typographic and other errors in LaTeX documents. Filters are also provided for checking the LaTeX parts of CWEB documents.

ctan_chk (tl-utils)

Basic gawk program that uses Ctan's published guidelines for authors to help eliminate sloppiness in uploaded files/projects. It is completely open for users to program additional guidelines as well as Ctan's future adjustments.

ctanify (tl-utils)

Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a .tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure. The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which may be used by those intending to install the package, or by those who need to incorporate it in a distribution. (The TDS ZIP file will be installed in the CTAN install/ tree.)

ctanupload (tl-utils)

The package provides a Perl script that allows the uploads of a contribution to CTAN from the command line. The aim is to simplify the release process for LaTeX package authors. Note by the CTAN team (2015-02-05): It seems that this script is currently not working.

ctie (tl-utils)

This is a version of tie converted for use with cweb.

cweb (tl-utils)

The Cweb system is a system for Structured Software Documentation (also known as Literate Programming) in the programming language C.

de-macro (tl-utils)

De-macro is a Python script that helps authors who like to use private LaTeX macros (for example, as abbreviations). A technical editor or a cooperating author may balk at such a manuscript; you can avoid manuscript rejection misery by running de-macro on it. De-macro will expand macros defined in (re)newcommand or (re)newenvironment commands, within the document, or in the document's "private" package file.

detex (tl-utils)

Detex is a program to remove TeX constructs from a text file. It recognizes the input command. The program assumes it is dealing with LaTeX input if it sees the string begin{document} in the text. In this case, it also recognizes the include and includeonly commands.

dtl (tl-utils)

DTL (DVI Text Language) is a means of expressing the content of a DVI file, which is readily readable by humans. The DTL bundle contains an assembler dt2dv (which produces DVI files from DTL files) and a disassembler dv2dt (which produces DTL files from DVI files). The DTL bundle was developed so as to avoid some infelicities of dvitype (among other pressing reasons).

dtxgen (tl-utils)

The bash script dtxgen creates a template for a self-extracting .dtx file. It is useful for those who plan to create a new Documented LaTeX Source (.dtx) file.

dvi2tty (tl-utils)

A DVI driver to produce an ASCII representation of the document. The original version was written in Pascal, and the present author translated the program to C.

dviasm (tl-utils)

A Python script to support changing or creating DVI files via disassembling into text, editing, and then reassembling into binary format. It supports advanced features such as adding a preprint number or watermarks.

dvicopy (tl-utils)

DVICOPY is a utility program that allows one to take a DVI file that references composite fonts (VF) and convert it into a DVI file that does not contain such references. It also serves as a basis for writing DVI drivers (much like DVItype).

dvidvi (tl-utils)

The output DVI file's contents are specified by page selection commands; series of pages and page number ranges may be specified, as well as inclusions and exclusions.

dviljk (tl-utils)

A dvi driver for the LaserJet printers, using kpathsea recursive file searching. Note: this program will not compile simply with the sources in this distribution; it needs a full (current) kpathsea distribution environment, such as is available from the TeX-Live source tree.

dvipng (tl-utils)

This program makes PNG and/or GIF graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. Its benefits include: Speed. It offers very fast rendering of DVI as bitmap files, which makes it suitable for generating large amounts of images on-the-fly, as needed in preview-latex, WeBWorK and others; It does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. There is a --follow switch that makes dvipng wait at end-of-file for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI; Interactive query of options. dvipng can read options interactively through stdin, and all options are usable. It is even possible to change the input file through this interface. Support for PK, VF, PostScript Type1, and TrueType fonts, colour specials, and inclusion of PostScript, PNG, JPEG or GIF images.

dvipos (tl-utils)

dvisvgm (tl-utils)

Dvisvgm is a command line utility that converts TeX DVI files to the XML-based Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. It provides full font support including virtual fonts, font maps, and sub-fonts. If necessary, dvisvgm vectorizes Metafont's bitmap output in order to always create lossless scalable output. The embedded SVG fonts can optionally be replaced with graphics paths so that applications that don't support SVG fonts are enabled to render the graphics properly. Besides many other features, dvisvgm also supports color, emTeX, tpic, PDF mapfile and PostScript specials. Users will need a working TeX installation including the kpathsea library. For more detailed information, see the project page.

findhyph (tl-utils)

Findhyph is a Perl script that will analyse the log file from running your document with tracingparagraphs=1 set. The output contains enough context to enable you to find the hyphenated word that's being referenced.

fragmaster (tl-utils)

Fragmaster enables you to use psfrag with PDFLaTeX. It takes EPS files and psfrag substitution definition files, and produces PDF and EPS files with the substitutions included.

hook-pre-commit-pkg (tl-utils)

This package provides a pre-commit git hook to check basic LaTeX syntax for the use of package developers. It is installed by copying it into the .git/.hooks file. It then checks the following file types: .sty, .dtx, .bbx, .cbx, and .lbx. List of performed checks: Each line must be terminated by a %, without a space before it. Empty lines are allowed, but not lines with nothing but spaces in them. begin{macro} and end{macro} must be paired. begin{macrocode} and end{macrocode} must be paired. begin{macro} must have a second argument. One space must be printed between % and begin{macro} or end{macro}. % must be the first character in the line. Four spaces must be printed between % and begin{macrocode} or end{macrocode}. cs argument must not start with a backslash.

hyphenex (tl-utils)

Exceptions for American English hyphenation patterns are occasionally published in the TeX User Group journal TUGboat. This bundle provides alternative Perl and Bourne shell scripts to convert the source of such an article into an exceptions file, together with a recent copy of the article and machine- readable files.

installfont (tl-utils)

With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (PostScript Type 1, TrueType and OpenType formats are supported). Font series from light to ultra bold, and (faked) small caps and (faked) slanted shapes are supported, but not expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optional) or will otherwise expect the *.afm files and the font files (in PostScript Type1 format) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.

lacheck (tl-utils)

Lacheck is a tool for finding common mistakes in LaTeX documents. The distribution includes sources, and executables for OS/2 and Win32 environments.

latex-git-log (tl-utils)

The program is run within a git repository, and outputs the entire version history, as a LaTeX table. That output will typically be redirected to a file; the author recommends typesetting in landscape orientation.

latex2man (tl-utils)

A tool to translate UNIX manual pages written with LaTeX into a man-page format understood by the Unix man(1) command. Alternatively HTML or TexInfo code can be produced. Output of parts of the text may be supressed using the conditional text feature.

latexdiff (tl-utils)

Latexdiff is a Perl script for visual mark up and revision of significant differences between two LaTeX files. Various options are available for visual markup using standard LaTeX packages such as color. Changes not directly affecting visible text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in the LaTeX source. A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script, latexrevise, which accepts or rejects all changes. Manual editing of the difference file can be used to override this default behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only.

latexfileversion (tl-utils)

This simple shell script prints the version and date of a LaTeX class or style file. Syntax: latexfileversion <file> This programme handles style files (extension .sty), class files (extension .cls), and other TeX input files. The file extension must be given.

latexindent (tl-utils)

The Perl script (also available as a windows executable) processes a LaTeX file, indenting parts so as to highlight the structure for the reader.

latexmk (tl-utils)

Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document. An important feature is the "preview continuous mode", where the script watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can offer a display of the document's latest state.

latexpand (tl-utils)

Latexpand is a Perl script that simply replaces input and include commands with the content of the file input/included. The script does not deal with includeonly commands.

listings-ext (tl-utils)

The package provides a means of marking a source, so that samples of it may be included in a document (by means of the listings package) in a stable fashion, regardless of any change to the source. The markup in the source text defines tags for blocks of source. These tags are processed by a shell script to make a steering file that is used by the package when LaTeX is being run.y

ltxfileinfo (tl-utils)

ltxfileinfo displays version information for LaTeX files. If no path information is given, the file is searched using kpsewhich. As an extra, for developers, the script will (use the --star or --color options) check the valididity of the Provides... statements in the files. The script uses code from Uwe Luck's readprov.sty.

ltximg (tl-utils)

The package provides a Perl script that extracts all TikZ and PStricks environments for separate processing to produce images (in eps, pdf, png or jpg format) for use by a converter or the preview bundle.

make4ht (tl-utils)

make4ht is a simple build system for tex4ht. It is both executable, which simplifies tex4ht execution, and a library which can be used to create customized conversion programs.

match_parens (tl-utils)

Mismatches of parentheses, braces, (angle) brackets, especially in TeX sources which may be rich in those, may be difficult to trace. This little script helps you by writing your text to standard output, after adding a left margin to your text, which will normally be almost empty, but will clearly show any mismatches.

mkjobtexmf (tl-utils)

The package provides a Perl script, which runs a program and tries to find the names of file used. Two methods are available, option -recorder of (Web2C) TeX and the program strace. Then it generates a directory with a texmf tree. It checks the found files and tries sort them in this texmf tree. The script may be used for archiving purposes or to speed up later TeX runs.

patgen (tl-utils)

This is the last version of the program distributed by Knuth; it advertises itself as a pattern generator for "the algorithm used in TeX", but, of course, the patterns used in modern distributions are Unicode-based.

pdfbook2 (tl-utils)

This python program creates print-ready PDF files from some input PDF files for booklet printing. The resulting files need to be printed in landscape/long edge double sided printing. The default paper format depends on the locale and is chosen by pdfjam. It can be chosen using the --paper option. Before the pdf is composed, the input file is cropped to the relevant area in order to discard unnecessary white spaces. In this process, all pages are cropped to the same dimensions. Extra margins can be defined at the edges of the booklet and in the middle where the binding occurs. The output is written to INPUT-book.pdf. Existing files will be overwritten. All input files are processed seperately.

pdfcrop (tl-utils)

A Perl script that can either trim pages of any whitespace border, or trim them of a fixed border.

pdfjam (tl-utils)

This is a collection of shell scripts which provide an interface to the pdfpages LaTeX package. They do such jobs as selecting pages, concatenating files, doing n-up formatting, and so on.

pdftools (tl-utils)

The command-line programs pdfopen and pdfclose allow you to control the X Window System version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader from the command line or from within a (shell) script. The programs work with Acrobat Reader 5, 7, 8 and 9 for Linux, xpdf and evince. This version derives from one written by Fabrice Popineau for Microsoft operating systems.

pfarrei (tl-utils)

In "Die TeXnische Komodie" (issue 1/2013) Christian Justen described his use of LaTeX in his work as priest (similar requirements may be encountered in the work of pastors and other ministers of religion). One point was to arrange A5 pages onto A4 landscape paper, either side-by-side or as a booklet. Justen made two bash scripts for this job; the package provides one texlua script for both requirements. (Note that file a5toa4.tlu should have execute permissions in any installation.)

pkfix-helper (tl-utils)

Pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts. Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced by older versions of dvips. Pkfix-helper is a program that attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process documents fully autonomously but does require the user to verify and, if needed, correct its decisions.

pkfix (tl-utils)

The perl script pkfix looks for DVIPSBitmapFont comments in PostScript files, generated by 'not too old' dvips, and replaces them by type 1 versions of the fonts, if possible.

purifyeps (tl-utils)

While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. Purifyeps converts EPS files into a 'purified' form that can be read by both LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs.

pythontex (tl-utils)

The package allows you to enter Python code within a LaTeX document, execute the code, and access its output in the original document. Python code is only executed when it has been modified, or when it meets user-specified criteria. Code may be divided into user-defined sessions, which automatically run in parallel. Errors and warnings are synchronized with the LaTeX document, so that they refer to the document's line numbers. External dependencies can be tracked, so that code is re-executed when the data it depends on is modified. PythonTeX also provides syntax highlighting for code in LaTeX documents via the Pygments syntax highlighter. The package provides a depythontex utility, that creates a copy of the document in which all Python code has been replaced by its output. This is useful for journal submissions, sharing documents, and conversion to other formats.

seetexk (tl-utils)

The collection comprises: dvibook, which will rearrange the pages of a DVI file into 'signatures' as used when printing a book; dviconcat, for concatenating pages of DVI file(s); dviselect, which will select pages from one DVI file to create a new DVI file; dvitodvi, which will rearrange the pages of a DVI file to create a new file; and libtex, a library for manipulating the files, from the old SeeTeX project. The utilities are provided as C source with Imakefiles, and an MS- DOS version of dvibook is also provided.

sty2dtx (tl-utils)

The package provides a Perl script that converts a .sty file (LaTeX package) to .dtx format (documented LaTeX source), by surrounding macro definitions with macro and macrocode environments. The macro name is automatically inserted as an argument to the macro environemnt. Code lines outside macro definitions are wrapped only in macrocode environments. Empty lines are removed. The script should not be thought to be fool proof and 100% accurate but rather as a good start to the business of making a .dtx file from an undocumented style file. Full .dtx files are generated. A template based on the skeleton file from 'dtxtut' is used. User level macros are added automatically to the 'Usage' section of the .dtx file. A corresponding .ins file can be generated as well.

tex4ebook (tl-utils)

This is a bundle of lua scripts and LaTeX packages for conversion of LaTeX files to ebook formats such as epub, mobi and epub3. tex4ht is used as conversion engine.

texcount (tl-utils)

TeXcount is a Perl script that counts words in the text of LaTeX files. It has rules for handling most of the common macros, and can provide colour-coded output showing which parts of the text have been counted. The package script is available as a Web service via its home page.

texdef (tl-utils)

The (Perl) script displays the definition of (La)TeX command sequences/macros. Various options allow the selection of the used class and package files and other things which can have influence on the definition (before/after the preamble, inside an environment, ...). The script creates a temporary TeX file which is then compiled using (La)TeX to find the 'meaning' of the command sequence. The result is formatted and presented to the user. Length or number command sequences (dimensions, char..., count registers, ...) are recognized and the contained value is also shown (using the). Special definitions like protected macros are also recognized and the underlying macros are shown as well. The script will show plain TeX definitions by default. LaTeX and ConTeXt are supported, including flavours (pdf(la)tex, lua(la)tex, xe(la)tex, ...). The flavour can be selected using an command line option or over the script name: latexdef will use LaTeX as default, etc.

texdiff (tl-utils)

Two files are compared and a new TeX file is output. When the output file is processed with (La)TeX it marks new changes with blue and old text with red with a strike-through line. Furthermore, passages with changes are marked at the margin with grey bars by the LaTeX changebar package.

texdirflatten (tl-utils)

The Perl script parses a LaTeX file recursively, scanning all child files, and collects details of any included and other data files. These component files, are then all put into a single directory (thus "flattening" the document's directory tree).

texdoc (tl-utils)

TeXdoc is an application for easy access to the package documentation of a TeX distributions (i.e., .dvi, .pdf or .ps files on the $TEXDOCS tree). It is distributed with TeX-Live and a derivative is distributed with miktex.

texfot (tl-utils)

The package provides a small Perl script to filter the online output from a TeX run, attempting to show only those messages which probably deserve some change in the source. The TeX invocation itself need not change.

texloganalyser (tl-utils)

The perl script allows the user to extract (and display) elements of the log file

texware (tl-utils)

Basic utitility programs, comprising: - dvitype, which converts a TeX output (DVI) file to a plain text file (see also the DVI Text Language suite); - pooltype, which converts a TeX-suite program's "pool" (string) file into human-readable form; and - tftopl and pltotf, which convert TeX Font Metric (TFM) file to human readable Property List (PL) files and vice versa.

tie (tl-utils)

Tie was originally developed to allow web programmers to apply more than one change file to their source. The program may also be used to create a new version of a .web file that incorporates existing changes.

tpic2pdftex (tl-utils)

The AWK script converts pic language, embedded inline (delimited by .PS and .PE markers), to pdfliteral commands.

typeoutfileinfo (tl-utils)

The package provides a minimalist shell script, for Unix systems, that displays the information content in a ProvidesFile, ProvidesPackage or ProvidesClass command in a LaTeX source file. The package requires that the readprov package is available.

web (tl-utils)

The system processes 'web' files in two ways: firstly to rearrange them to produce compilable code (using the program tangle), and secondly to produce a TeX source (using the program weave) that may be typeset for comfortable reading.
