Blackboard variants of Computer Modern fonts. The fonts are distributed as Metafont source (only); LaTeX support is available with the bbm-macros package. The Sauter font package has Metafont parameter source files for building the fonts at more sizes than you could reasonably imagine. A sample of these fonts appears in the blackboard bold sampler.
acquired package info from repodata DB: repodata/69e709f4d2852d98f12867a74015d19384fe2727ff670fd70178cdde80b1e77e-primary.sqlite.bz2
Support for (and documentation in) English.
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.
A collection of recommended add-on packages for LaTeX which have widespread use.
C version of tie (merging Web change files)
This is a version of tie converted for use with cweb.
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.
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.
Programs for conversion between font formats, testing fonts, virtual fonts, .gf and .pk manipulation, mft, fontinst, etc. Manipulating OpenType, TrueType, Type 1,and for manipulation of PostScript and other image formats.
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.
A dvi driver for the LaserJet printers, using kpathsea recursive file searching.
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.
teTeX scheme (more than medium, but nowhere near full)
TeX Live scheme nearly equivalent to the teTeX distribution that was maintained by Thomas Esser.
The well-known Euler fonts are suitable for typsetting mathematics in conjunction with a variety of text fonts which do not provide mathematical character sets of their own. Euler- VM is a set of virtual mathematics fonts based on Euler and CM. This approach has several advantages over immediately using the real Euler fonts: Most noticeably, less TeX resources are consumed, the quality of various math symbols is improved and a usable \hslash symbol can be provided. The virtual fonts are accompanied by a LaTeX package which makes them easy to use, particularly in conjunction with Type1 PostScript text fonts. They are compatible with amsmath. A package option allows the fonts to be loaded at 95% of their nominal size, thus blending better with certain text fonts, e.g., Minion.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These files are regarded as basic for any TeX system, covering plain TeX macros, Computer Modern fonts, and configuration for common drivers; no LaTeX.
The Cweb system is a system for Structured Software Documentation (also known as Literate Programming) in the programming language C.
Create tabular cells spanning multiple rows
The package has a lot of flexibility, including an option for specifying an entry at the "natural" width of its text. The package is distributed with the bigdelim and bigstrut packages, which can be used to advantage with \multirow cells.
Hans Hagen's powerful ConTeXt system, http://pragma-ade.com. Also includes third-party ConTeXt packages.
Support for a number of European languages; others (Greek, German, French, ...) have their own collections, depending simply on the size of the support.
The fonts provide uppercase 'formal' script letters for use as symbols in scientific and mathematical typesetting (in contrast to the informal script fonts such as that used for the 'calligraphic' symbols in the TeX maths symbol font). The fonts are provided as Metafont source, and as derived Adobe Type 1 format. LaTeX support, for using these fonts in mathematics, is available via one of the packages calrsfs and mathrsfs.
This package ensures that all acronyms used in the text are spelled out in full at least once. It also provides an environment to build a list of acronyms used. The package is compatible with pdf bookmarks. The package requires the suffix package, which in turn requires that it runs under e-TeX.
Support for Cyrillic scripts (Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian), even if Latin alphabets may also be used.
Including TikZ, pict, etc., but MetaPost and PStricks are separate.
Collected TeX `formats', i.e., large-scale macro packages designed to be dumped into .fmt files -- excluding the most common ones, such as latex and context, which have their own package(s).
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.
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.
A geometric sans serif blackboard bold font, for use in mathematics; Metafont sources are provided, as well as macros for use with LaTeX. The Sauter font package has Metafont parameter source files for building the fonts at more sizes than you could reasonably imagine. See the blackboard sampler for a feel for the font's appearance.
LaTeX support for "blackboard-style" cm fonts
Provides LaTeX support for Blackboard variants of Computer Modern fonts. Declares a font family bbm so you can in principle write running text in blackboard bold, and lots of math alphabets for using the fonts within maths.
Tools to dis-assemble and re-assemble DVI files
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).
Support for languages not otherwise listed, including Thai, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Indonesian, and plenty more. The split is made simply on the basis of the size of the support, to keep both collection sizes and the number of collections reasonable.
Produce lists of symbols as in nomenclature
Produces lists of symbols using the capabilities of the MakeIndex program.
A family of sans serif fonts for TeX and LaTeX, based on Donald Knuth's CM fonts. It comprises OT1, T1 and TS1 encoded text fonts of various shapes as well as all the fonts necessary for mathematical typesetting, including AMS symbols. This collection provides all the necessary files for using the fonts with LaTeX. A commercial-quality Adobe Type 1 version of these fonts is available from Micropress. Free versions are available, in the cm-super font bundle (the T1 and TS1 encoded part of the set), and in the hfbright package (the OT1 encoded part, and the maths fonts).
Packages supporting a combination of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, including macros, fonts, documentation. Also Thai in the c90 encoding, since there is some overlap in those fonts; standard Thai support is in collection-langother. Additional packages for CJK are in their individual language collections.
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).
The package was a predecessor of longtable; the newer package (designed on quite different principles) is easier to use and more flexible, in many cases, but supertabular retains its usefulness in a few situations where longtable has problems.
Typeset physical units following the rules of the International System of Units (SI). The package requires amstext, for proper representation of some values. Note that the package is now superseded by siunitx; siunits has maintenance-only support, now.
These packages are either mandated by the core LaTeX team, or very widely used and strongly recommended in practice.
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.
Recommended fonts, including the base 35 PostScript fonts, Latin Modern, TeX Gyre, and T1 and other encoding support for Computer Modern, in outline form.
Mathematics, natural sciences, computer science packages
Add-on packages and macros that work with plain TeX, often LaTeX, and occasionally other formats.
Make PDF versions of graphics by processing between runs
The package pst-pdf simplifies the use of graphics from PSTricks and other PostScript code in PDF documents. As in building a bibliography with BibTEX, additional external programmes are invoked. In this case they are used to create a PDF file (\PDFcontainer) that will contain all the graphics material. In the final document these contents will be inserted instead of the original PostScript code. The package works with pstricks and requires a recent version of the preview package.
