Provides macros to typeset bra-ket notation, as well as set specifiers, with a single ("|") or a double ("||" or ("\|") vertical bar specifier in between two bracketed parts. Each macro comes in a fixed-size version and an expanding version. If the package finds itself operating under e-tex, it uses the extended primitive \middle for more reliable results

Add bibliography/index/contents to Table of Contents
Automatically adds the bibliography and/or the index and/or the contents, etc., to the Table of Contents listing.
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.
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.
Continuation headings and legends for floats
A package providing commands for 'continuation captions', unnumbered captions, and also a non-specific legend heading for any environment. Methods are also provided to define captions for use outside float (e.g., figure and table) environments, and to define new float environments and Lists of Floats. Tools are provided for specifying your own captioning styles.
Hepnames provides a pair of LaTeX packages, heppennames and hepnicenames, providing a large set of pre-defined high energy physics particle names built with the hepparticles package. 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.
A package to draw diagonal lines ("cancelling" a term) and arrows with limits (cancelling a term "to a value") through parts of maths formulae.
A set of units useful in high energy physics applications
Hepunits is a LaTeX package built on the SIunits package which adds a collection of useful HEP units to the existing SIunits set. These include the energy units \MeV, \GeV, \TeV and the derived momentum and mass units \MeVoverc, \MeVovercsq and so on.
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.
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.
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.
Deprecated: Figures divided into subfigures
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. The package is now considered obsolete: it was superseded by subfig, but users may find the more recent subcaption package more satisfactory.
Extensive support for hypertext in 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.
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.
Increase the number of simultaneous LaTeX floats
LaTeX can, by default, only cope with 18 outstanding floats; any more, and you get the error "too many unprocessed floats". This package releases the limit; TeX itself imposes limits (which are independent of the help offered by e-TeX). However, if your floats can't be placed anywhere, extending the number of floats merely delays the arrival of the inevitable error message.
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.
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.
Customising captions in floating environments
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.
Macros and fonts for creating Feynman (and other) diagrams
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.
Extensive control of page headers and footers in LaTeX2e
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).
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.
A "convenience wrapper" for High Energy Physics packages
Loads the author's hepunits and hepnicenames packages, and a selection of others that are useful in High Energy Physics papers, etc.
