TeX fonts from the American Mathematical Society
An extended set of fonts for use in mathematics, including: extra mathematical symbols; blackboard bold letters (uppercase only); fraktur letters; subscript sizes of bold math italic and bold Greek letters; subscript sizes of large symbols such as sum and product; added sizes of the Computer Modern small caps font; cyrillic fonts (from the University of Washington); Euler mathematical fonts. All fonts are provided as Adobe Type 1 files, and all except the Euler fonts are provided as Metafont source. The distribution also includes the canonical Type 1 versions of the Computer Modern family of fonts. Plain TeX and LaTeX macros for using the fonts are provided.

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.
Font support for common PostScript fonts
Font definition files, macros and font metrics for freely- available Adobe Type 1 fonts. The font set consists of the 'LaserWriter 35' set (originally 'freely available' because embedded in PostScript printers), and a variety of other free fonts, together with some additions. Note that while many of the fonts are available in PostScript (and other) printers, most publishers require fonts embedded in documents, which requires that you have the fonts in your TeX system. Fortunately, there are free versions of the fonts from URW (available in the URW base5 bundle). The base set of text fonts covered by PSNFSS are: AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, Symbol, Times Roman and Zapf Dingbats. In addition, the fonts Bitstream Charter and Adobe Utopia are covered (those fonts were contributed to the Public Domain by their commercial foundries). Separate packages are provided to load each font for use as main text font. The packages helvet (which allows Helvetica to be loaded with its size scaled to something more nearly appropriate for its use as a Sans-Serif font to match Times) and pifont (which provides the means to select single glyphs from symbol fonts) are tailored to special requirements of their fonts. Mathematics are covered by the mathptmx package, which constructs passable mathematics from a combination of Times Roman, Symbol and some glyphs from Computer Modern, and by Pazo Math (optionally extended with the fpl small-caps and old-style figures fonts) which uses Palatino as base font, with the mathpazo fonts. The bundle as a whole is part of the LaTeX 'required' set of packages.
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).
If-then-else command for processing potentially empty arguments
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.
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 allows rows and columns to be coloured, and even individual cells.
PSTricks offers an extensive collection of macros for generating PostScript that is usable with most TeX macro formats, including Plain TeX, LaTeX, AMS-TeX, and AMS-LaTeX. Included are macros for colour, graphics, pie charts, rotation, trees and overlays. It has many special features, including a wide variety of graphics (picture drawing) macros, with a flexible interface and with colour support. There are macros for colouring or shading the cells of tables. The package pstricks-add contains bug-fixes and additions for PSTricks (among other things). PSTricks ordinarily uses PostScript \special commands, which are not supported by pdf(La)TeX. This limitation may be overcome by using either the pst-pdf or the pdftricks package, to generate a PDF inclusion from a PSTricks diagram. PSTricks macros can also generate PDF output when the document is processed XeTeX, without the need for other supporting packages. Note that this is one of a pair of catalogue entries for PSTricks; the other one (PSTricks) is acting as a "stub", while editorial work on catalogue entries for PSTricks contributed is completed.
Tables of signs and variations using PGF/TikZ
The package provides comprehensive facilities for preparing lists of signs and variations, using PGF. The package documentation requires the tkz-doc bundle.
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.
Create PostScript and PDF graphics in TeX
PGF is a macro package for creating graphics. It is platform- and format-independent and works together with the most important TeX backend drivers, including pdfTeX and dvips. It comes with a user-friendly syntax layer called TikZ. Its usage is similar to pstricks and the standard picture environment. PGF works with plain (pdf-)TeX, (pdf-)LaTeX, and ConTeXt. Unlike pstricks, it can produce either PostScript or PDF output.
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.
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 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.
Write vectors using an arrow which differs from the Computer Modern one. You have the choice between several kinds of arrows. The package consists of the relevant Metafont code and a package to use it.
A collection of add-ons and bugfixes for PSTricks
Collects together examples that have been posted to the pstricks mailing list, together with many additional features for the basic pstricks, pst-plot and pst-node, including: bugfixes; new options for the pspicture environment; arrows; braces as node connection/linestyle; extended axes for plots (e.g., logarithm axes); polar plots; plotting tangent lines of curves or functions; solving and printing differential equations; box plots; matrix plots; and pie charts. The package makes use of PostScript routines provided by pst-math.
Class and package for sesamath books or paper
The package contains a sesamanuel class which could be used to compose a student's classroom book with LaTeX, and also a sesamanuelTIKZ style to be used for TIKZ pictures in the sesamath book.
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).
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}.
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.
Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX
The package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other) rules, and hyphenation patterns for a wide range of languages. A document may select a single language to be supported, or it may select several, in which case the document may switch from one language to another in a variety of ways. Babel uses contributed configuration files that provide the detail of what has to be done for each language. Users of XeTeX are advised to use polyglossia rather than Babel.
A package providing corner marks for camera alignment as well as for trimming paper stacks, and additional page information on every page if required. Most macros are easily adaptable to personal preferences. An option is provided for selectively suppressing graphics or text, which may be useful for printing just colour graphics on a colour laser printer and the rest on a cheap mono laser printer. A page info line contains the time and a new cropmarks index and is printed at the top of the page. A configuration command is provided for the info line font. Options for better collaboration with dvips, pdftex and vtex are provided.
The package provides support for LaTeX documents to use many of the extensions offered by e-TeX; in particular, it modifies LaTeX's register allocation macros to make use of the extended register range. The etextools package provides macros that make more sophisticated use of e-TeX's facilities.
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.
The package provides the \multido command, which was originally designed for use with PSTricks. Fixed-point arithmetic is used when working on the loop variable, so that the package is equally applicable in graphics applications like PSTricks as it is with the more common integer loops.
Flexible handling of verbatim text including: verbatim commands in footnotes; a variety of verbatim environments with many parameters; ability to define new customized verbatim environments; save and restore verbatim text and environments; write and read files in verbatim mode; build "example" environments (showing both result and verbatim source).
Print numbers with separators and exponent if necessary
The package numprint prints numbers with a separator every three digits and converts numbers given as 12345.6e789 to 12\,345,6\cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach 12,345.6\times 10^{789}. If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the number format. Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and after the formatted number.
Mathtools provides a series of packages designed to enhance the appearance of documents containing a lot of mathematics. The main backbone is amsmath, so those unfamiliar with this required part of the LaTeX system will probably not find the packages very useful. Mathtools provides many useful tools for mathematical typesetting. It is based on amsmath and fixes various deficiencies of amsmath and standard LaTeX. It provides: Extensible symbols, such as brackets, arrows, harpoons, etc.; Various symbols such as \coloneqq (:=); Easy creation of new tag forms; Showing equation numbers only for referenced equations; Extensible arrows, harpoons and hookarrows; Starred versions of the amsmath matrix environments for specifying the column alignment; More building blocks: multlined, cases-like environments, new gathered environments; Maths versions of \makebox, \llap, \rlap etc.; Cramped math styles; and more... Mathtools requires mhsetup.
Miscellaneous macros by Jorg Knappen, including: represent counters in greek; Maxwell's non-commutative division; latin1jk, latin2jk and latin3jk, which are their inputenc definition files that allow verbatim input in the respective ISO Latin codes; blackboard bold fonts in maths; use of RSFS fonts in maths; extra alignments for \parboxes; swap Roman and Sans fonts; transliterate semitic languages; patches to make (La)TeX formulae embeddable in SGML; use maths "minus" in text as appropriate; simple Young tableaux.
