LuaTeX support for pdfTeX utility functions
LuaTeX provides most of the commands of pdfTeX 1.40. However, a number of utility functions are not available. This package tries to fill the gap and implements some of the missing primitives using Lua.

The package contains some Chinese font metrics (JFM, VF, etc) for upTeX engine, together with a simple DVIPDFMx font mapping of Fandol fonts for DVIPDFMx.
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.
CJK is a macro package for LaTeX, providing simultaneous support for various Asian scripts in many encodings (including Unicode): Chinese (both traditional and simplified), Japanese, Korean and Thai. A special add-on feature is an interface to the Emacs editor (cjk-enc.el) which gives simultaneous, easy-to- use support to a bunch of other scripts in addition to the above -- Cyrillic, Greek, Latin-based scripts, Russian and Vietnamese are supported.
Some LaTeX kernel commands for general use
This package exports some utility macros from the LaTeX kernel into a separate namespace and also makes them available for other formats such as plain TeX.
TFM subfont files for using Chinese fonts in 8-bit TeX
These are metrics to use existing Chinese TrueType fonts in workflows that use LaTeX & dvipdfmx, or pdfLaTeX. The fonts themselves are not included in the package. Six font families are supported: kai, song, lishu, fangsong, youyuan and hei. Two encodings (GBK and UTF-8) are supported.
XeTeX is an extension of TeX that integrates TeX's typesetting capabilities with (a) the Unicode text encoding standard (supporting most of the world’s scripts) and (b) modern font technologies (TrueType and OpenType) and text layout services (AAT, OpenType layout, SIL Graphite) provided by the host operating system and available libraries. With XeTeX, the advanced typographic features provided by OpenType fonts become available for all TeX users, as well as support for complex non-roman scripts. XeTeX also eliminates the complex task of managing a TeX font installation. XeTeX is now part of the standard TeX distribution TeXLive and works well with TeX macro packages like LaTeX and ConTeXt.
Computer modern fonts in T1 and TS1 encodings
The EC fonts are European Computer Modern Fonts, supporting the complete LaTeX T1 encoding defined at the 1990 TUG conference hold at Cork/Ireland. These fonts are intended to be stable with no changes being made to the tfm files. The set also contains a Text Companion Symbol font, called tc, featuring many useful characters needed in text typesetting, for example oldstyle digits, currency symbols (including the newly created Euro symbol), the permille sign, copyright, trade mark and servicemark as well as a copyleft sign, and many others. Recent releases of LaTeX2e support the EC fonts. The EC fonts supersede the preliminary version released as the DC fonts. The fonts are available in (traced) Adobe Type 1 format, as part of the cm-super bundle. The other Computer Modern-style T1-encoded Type 1 set, Latin Modern, is not actually a direct development of the EC set, and differs from the EC in a number of particulars.
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.
Typeset Chinese representations of numbers
The package provides commands to typeset Chinese representations of numbers. The main difference between this package and CJKnumb is that the commands provided are expandable in the 'proper' way.
A LaTeX class for producing presentations and slides
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.
Four basic fonts for Chinese typesetting
Fandol fonts designed for Chinese typesetting. The current version contains four styles: Song, Hei, Kai, Fang. All fonts are in OpenType format.
The package takes control of the six TeX token registers \everypar, \everymath, \everydisplay, \everyhbox, \everyvbox and \everycr. Real hooks for each of the registers may be installed using a stack like interface. For backwards compatibility, each of the \everyX token lists can be set without interfering with the hooks.
The package offers support for typesetting Japanese documents with LuaTeX. Either of the Plain and LaTeX2e formats may be used with the package.
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.
The package comprises the collection of CMap and PDF mapping files now made available for distribution by Adobe systems incorporated.
Generate Unicode characters from accented glyphs
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.
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.
pLaTeX2e and miscellaneous macros for upTeX
The bundle provides pLaTeX2e macros for upTeX by Takuji Tanaka. This is a community edition syncing with platex.
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.
Convert CJK characters to Unicode, in pdfTeX
The package provides commands to convert CJK characters to Unicode in non-UTF-8 encoding; it provides hooks to support hyperref in producing correct bookmarks. The bundle also provides /ToUnicode mapping file(s) for a CJK subfont; these can be used with the cmap package, allowing searches of, and cut-and-paste operations on a PDF file generated by pdfTeX..
Key value parser with default handler support
This package provides \kvsetkeys, a variant of package keyval's \setkeys. It allows the user to specify a handler that deals with unknown options. Active commas and equal signs may be used (e.g. see babel's shorthands) and only one level of curly braces are removed from the values.
Automatically add pinyin to Chinese characters
The package is written to simplify the input of Hanyu Pinyin. Macros are provided that automatically add pinyin to Chinese characters.
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.
Complete set of information/warning/error message macros
This package provides a complete set of macros for information, warning and error messages. Under LaTeX, the commands are wrappers for the corresponding LaTeX commands; under Plain TeX they are available as complete implementations.
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.
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.
Adjust locations and kerning of CJK punctuation marks
The package serves as a companion package for CJK.
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.
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 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.
mpost to PDF, native MetaPost graphics inclusion
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.
Fonts and macros for IPA phonetics characters
These fonts are considered the 'ultimate answer' to IPA typesetting. The encoding of these 8-bit fonts has been registered as LaTeX standard encoding T3, and the set of addendum symbols as encoding TS3. 'Times-like' Adobe Type 1 versions are provided for both the T3 and the TS3 fonts.
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).
This bundle is an extended version of the latex-tools bundle developed by the LaTeX team, mainly intended to support pLaTeX2e and upLaTeX2e. Currently patches for the latex-tools bundle and Martin Schroder's ms bundle are included. It also contains the package bounddvi, which sets the papersize special in DVI files and can be used in both vertical and horizontal writing directions.
Subversion variants of \Provides... macros
The package introduces Subversion variants of the standard LaTeX macros \ProvidesPackage, \ProvidesClass and \ProvidesFile where the file name and date is extracted from Subversion Id keywords. The file name may also be given explicitly as an optional argument.
This package is a modern reimplementation of package everyshi, providing various commands to be executed before a \shipout command. It makes use of e-TeX's facilities if they are available. The package may be used either with LaTeX or with plain TeX.
This package offers support for package authors who want to use options in key-value format for their package options.
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).
The package provided hooks whose arguments are executed just after LaTeX has loaded a new font by means of \selectfont. It has become obsolete with LaTeX versions 2021/01/05 or newer, since LaTeX now provides its own hooks to fulfill this task. For newer versions of LaTeX everysel only provides macros using LaTeX's hook management due to compatibility reasons. See lthooks-doc.pdf for instructions how to use lthooks instead of everysel.
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.
The package adds support for EPS files in the graphicx package when running under pdfTeX. If an EPS graphic is detected, the package spawns a process to convert the EPS to PDF, using the script epstopdf. This of course requires that shell escape is enabled for the pdfTeX run.
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
LaTeX classes and packages for Chinese typesetting
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.
