Times-like fonts in support of mathematics
Txfonts supplies virtual text roman fonts using Adobe Times (or URW NimbusRomNo9L) with some modified and additional text symbols in the OT1, T1, and TS1 encodings; maths alphabets using Times/URW Nimbus; maths fonts providing all the symbols of the Computer Modern and AMS fonts, including all the Greek capital letters from CMR; and additional maths fonts of various other symbols. The set is complemented by a sans-serif set of text fonts, based on Helvetica/NimbusSanL, and a monospace set. All the fonts are in Type 1 format (AFM and PFB files), and are supported by TeX metrics (VF and TFM files) and macros for use with LaTeX.

Provides a macro to set various margins as well as dimensions for header/footer and page dimensions. Most common paper sizes, paper orientation, disabling of headers and footers, and two sided printing are supported. The vmargin package does not rely on other packages and was designed with speed and size in mind. Its user interface might not be very fancy, but it's fast, small, and gets the job done. If you are looking for something more elaborate try the geometry package.
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.
Writing specifications such as for UP-based methodologies
The bundle allows the user to create Unified Process methodology (UP or RUP) based documents. The style provides document versioning, document history, document authors, document validators, specification description, task management, and several helping macros.
Put a grey textual watermark on document pages
The package provides a means to add a textual, light grey watermark on every page or on the first page of a document. Typical usage may consist in writing words such as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL across document pages. The package performs a similar function to that of draftcopy, but its implementation is output device independent, and made very simple by relying on everypage.
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.
A new interface for environments in LaTeX
The package provides the \collect@body command (as in amsmath), as well as a \long version \Collect@Body, for collecting the body text of an environment. These commands are used to define a new author interface to creating new environments. For example: \NewEnviron{test} wraps the entire environment body in square brackets, doing the right thing in ignoring leading and trailing spaces.
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.
Set the font size relative to the current font size
The basic command of the package is \relsize, whose argument is a number of \magsteps to change size; from this are defined commands \larger, \smaller, \textlarger, etc.
The bundle provides several packages for commonly-needed support for typesetting theorems. The packages should work with kernel theorems (theorems 'out of the box' with LaTeX), and the theorem and amsthm packages. Features of the bundle include: a key-value interface to \newtheorem; a \listoftheorems command; hyperref and autoref compatibility; a mechanism for restating entire theorems in a single macro call.
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.
This package can disable all hyphenation or enable hyphenation of non-alphabetics or monospaced fonts. The package can also enable hyphenation within 'words' that contain non-alphabetic characters (e.g., that include underscores), and hyphenation of text typeset in monospaced (e.g., cmtt) fonts.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 package was designed to accommodate all needs for inclusion of graphics in LaTeX documents, replacing many earlier packages used in LaTeX 2.09. The package aims to give a consistent interface to including the file types that are understood in your output, by use of 'printer drivers' (now known, simply, as 'drivers'). The distribtion of the package contains several drivers, but others (for example, pdfTeX) are distributed separately. The package also offers several means of manipulating graphics in the course of inserting them into a document (for example, rotation and scaling). For extended documentation see epslatex. The package is part of the graphics bundle, which is one of the collections in the LaTeX 'required' set of packages.
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.
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}.
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.
This bundle contains three AMS classes, amsart (for writing articles for the AMS), amsbook (for books) and amsproc (for proceedings), together with some supporting material. The material is made available as part of the AMS-LaTeX distribution.
This package increases the width of the typeset area of an a4 page. This sort of operation is capable of producing typographically poor results; the operation itself is better provided by the geometry package. The package uses the a4 package.
Development pre-release of the LaTeX graphics bundle
This is a pre-release version of the standard LaTeX graphics bundle. It accompanies the pre-testing kernel code (latex-base-dev), and is intended for testing by knowledgeable users.
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.
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.
A legacy package for creating 'windows' in paragraphs, for inserting graphics, etc. (including "dropped capitals"). Users should note that Piet van Oostrum (in a published review of packages of this sort) does not recommend this package; Picins is recommended instead.
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.
