The tools comprise six packages: datatool.sty: databases may be created using LaTeX commands or by importing external files; they may be sorted numerically or alphabetically; repetitive operations (such as mail merging) may be performed on each row of a database, subject to conditions to exclude particular rows; commands are provided to examine database elements, and to convert formats (for example, to convert a numeric element to a format compatible with the fp package; datapie.sty: a database may be represented as a pie chart; flexible options allow colouring of the chart, and annotation hooks are available; dataplot.sty: a database may be represented as a 2- dimensional scatter or line plot; flexible options control of the plot's overall appearance, and of legends and other extra information; databar.sty: a database may be represented as a bar chart; overall appearance, colouring and annotation are controllable; datagidx.sty: provides a way of indexing or creating glossaries/lists of acronyms that uses TeX to do the sorting and collating instead of using an external indexing application, such as xindy or makeindex; databib.sty: a bibliography may be loaded into a datatool database, and manipulated there before being printed (this permits a LaTeX- based route to printing bibliographies in formats for which no BibTeX style is available); and person.sty: provides support for displaying a person's name and pronoun in a document, thus avoiding cumbersome use of "he/she", etc. The drawing packages make use of PGF/TikZ for their output. The bundle supersedes and replaces the author's csvtools bundle.

Selectively include/excludes portions of text
Selectively include/exclude pieces of text, allowing the user to define new, separately controlled, comment versions. All text between \comment ... \endcomment or \begin{comment} ... \end{comment} is discarded. The opening and closing commands should appear on a line of their own. No starting spaces, nothing after it. This environment should work with arbitrary amounts of comment, and the comment can be arbitrary text. Other 'comment' environments are defined and selected/deselected with \includecomment{versiona} and \excludecoment{versionb} These environments are used as \versiona ... \endversiona or \begin{versiona} ... \end{versiona} with the opening and closing commands again on a line of their own.
Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX
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}.
Reference last page for Page N of M type footers
Reference the number of pages in your LaTeX document through the introduction of a new label which can be referenced like \pageref{LastPage} to give a reference to the last page of a document. It is particularly useful in the page footer that says: Page N of M.
The European currency symbol for the Euro implemented in Metafont, using the official European Commission dimensions, and providing several shapes (normal, slanted, bold, outline). The package also includes a LaTeX package which defines the macro, pre-compiled tfm files, and documentation.
The package provides packages and classes for typesetting applications with titlepage, letter, cv and additional documents in just a single document. The data for the application can be edited in a simple csv file.
Alternative versions of "ragged"-type commands
The package defines new commands \Centering, \RaggedLeft, and \RaggedRight and new environments Center, FlushLeft, and FlushRight, which set ragged text and are easily configurable to allow hyphenation (the corresponding commands in LaTeX, all of whose names are lower-case, prevent hyphenation altogether).
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.
This package offers support for package authors who want to use options in key-value format for their package options.
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.
Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
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.
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.
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.
Martin Vogel's Symbol font (marvosym) contains the Euro currency symbol as defined by the European commission, along with symbols for structural engineering; symbols for steel cross-sections; astronomy signs (sun, moon, planets); the 12 signs of the zodiac; scissor symbols; CE sign and others. The package contains both the original TrueType font and the derived Type 1 font, together with support files for TeX (LaTeX).
Flexible and complete interface to document dimensions
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).
Development pre-release of the LaTeX kernel
This package provides a testing release for upcoming LaTeX2e kernel changes. Testing by the LaTeX team itself suggests that the code is stable and usable, but wider use by knowledgeable users is required by adding these changes to the release LaTeX kernel. Typically, the code here will be used by a TeX system to create dedicated formats, for example pdflatex-dev, which can then be used explicitly for testing.
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.
This package provides advanced facilities for inline and display quotations. It is designed for a wide range of tasks ranging from the most simple applications to the more complex demands of formal quotations. The facilities include commands, environments, and user-definable 'smart quotes' which dynamically adjust to their context. Quotation marks are switched automatically if quotations are nested and they can be adjusted to the current language if the babel package is available. There are additional facilities designed to cope with the more specific demands of academic writing, especially in the humanities and the social sciences. All quote styles as well as the optional active quotes are freely configurable. The package is dependent on e-TeX, and requires the author's etoolbox package.
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.
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.
The package is a toolbox of programming facilities geared primarily towards LaTeX class and package authors. It provides LaTeX frontends to some of the new primitives provided by e-TeX as well as some generic tools which are not strictly related to e-TeX but match the profile of this package. Note that the initial versions of this package were released under the name elatex. The package provides functions that seem to offer alternative ways of implementing some LaTeX kernel commands; nevertheless, the package will not modify any part of the LaTeX kernel.
Various LaTeX packages by Martin Schroder
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.
Am I running under pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX?
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.
