Path searching library for TeX-related files
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.
Keeping track of formal 'concepts' for a particular field
The package helps to keep track of formal 'concepts' for a specific field or document. This is particularly useful for scientific papers (for example, in physics, mathematics or computer science), which may introduce several concepts (with their own symbols). The package's commands allow the user to define a concept (typically, near its first use), and will ensure consistent use throughout the document. The package depends on several other packages; while these are fairly common packages, the user should check the package's README file for the complete list.
The command \nth{<number>} generates English ordinal numbers of the form 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. LaTeX package options may specify that the ordinal mark be superscripted, and that negative numbers may be treated; Plain TeX users have no access to package options, so need to redefine macros for these changes.
The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. It encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection of TeX macros and font libraries. The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
e-TeX tools for LaTeX users and package writers
The package provides many (purely expandable) tools for LaTeX: Extensive list management (csv lists, lists of single tokens/characters, etoolbox lists); purely expandable loops (csvloop, forcsvloop, etc.); conversion (csvtolist, etc.)); addition/deletion (csvadd, listdel, etc.); Expansion and group control: \expandnext, \ExpandAfterCmds, \AfterGroup...; Tests on tokens, characters and control sequences (\iffirstchar, \ifiscs, \ifdefcount, \@ifchar...); Tests on strings (\ifstrnum, \ifuppercase, \DeclareStringFilter...); Purely expandable macros with options (\FE@testopt, \FE@ifstar) or modifiers (\FE@modifiers); Some purely expandable numerics (\interval, \locinterplin). The package is dependent on the etex and the etoolbox packages.
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.
The package provides macros for manipulating strings -- testing a string's contents, extracting substrings, substitution of substrings and providing numbers such as string length, position of, or number of recurrences of, a substring. The package works equally in Plain TeX and LaTeX (though e-TeX is always required). The strings to be processed may contain (expandable) macros.
The package provides facilities for creating and managing keys in the sense of the keyval and xkeyval packages, but it is intended to be more robust and faster. Its robustness comes from its ability to preserve braces in key values throughout parsing. The need to preserve braces in key values arises often in parsing keys (for example, in the xwatermark package). The package is faster than xkeyval package because (among other things) it avoids character-wise parsing of key values (called "selective sanitization" by the xkeyval package). The package also provides functions for defining and managing keys.
