adjustbox - Graphics package-alike macros for "general" boxes

The package provides several macros to adjust boxed content. One purpose is to supplement the standard graphics package, which defines the macros \resizebox, \scalebox and \rotatebox , with the macros\trimbox and \clipbox. The main feature is the general \adjustbox macro which extends the “key=value” interface of \includegraphics from the graphics package and applies it to general text content. Additional provided box macros are \lapbox, \marginbox, \minsizebox, \maxsizebox and \phantombox.

All macros use the collectbox package to read the content as a box and not as a macro argument. This allows for all forms of content including special material like verbatim content. A special feature of collectbox is used to provide matching environments with the identical names as the macros.

beamer - A LaTeX class for producing presentations and slides

The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides. The class works in both PostScript and direct PDF output modes, using the pgf graphics system for visual effects.

Content is created in the frame environment, and each frame can be made up of a number of slides using a simple notation for specifying material to appear on each slide within a frame. Short versions of title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional parameters. Whole frame graphics are supported by plain frames. The class supports figure and table environments, transparency effects, varying slide transitions and animations. 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.

Beamer depends on the following other packages: atbegshi, etoolbox, hyperref, ifpdf, pgf, and translator.

cm-tfm - Model TeX format creation files

Knuth's final iteration of his re-interpretation of a c.19 Modern-style font from Monotype. The family is comprehensive, offering both sans and roman styles, and a monospaced font, together with mathematics fonts closely integrated with the mathematical facilities of TeX itself. The base fonts are distributed as METAFONT source, but autotraced PostScript Type 1 versions are available (one version in the AMS fonts distribution, and also the BaKoMa distribution). The Computer Modern fonts have inspired many later families, notably the European Computer Modern and the Latin Modern families.

collectbox - Collect and process macro arguments as boxes

The package provides macros to collect and process a macro argument (i.e., something which looks like a macro argument) as a horizontal box rather than as a real macro argument.

The “arguments” are stored as if they had been saved by \savebox or by the lrbox environment. Grouping tokens \bgroup and \egroup may be used, which allows the user to have the beginning and end of a group in different macro invocations, or to place them in the begin and end code of an environment. Arguments may contain verbatim material or other special use of characters.

The macros were designed for use within other macros.

csvsimple - Simple CSV file processing

The package provides a simple LaTeX interface for the processing of files with comma separated values (CSV); it relies on the key value syntax supported by pgfkeys to simplify usage.

Filtering and table generation are especially supported; however, this lightweight tool offers no support for data sorting or data base storage.

The package depends on etoolbox, ifthen, pgfrcs, pgfkeys, and shellesc.

currfile - Provide file name and path of input files

The package provides macros holding file name information (directory, base name, extension, full name and full path) for files read by LaTeX \input and \include macros; it uses the file hooks provided by the author’s filehook. In particular, it restores the parent file name after the trailing \clearpage of an \included file; as a result, the macros may be usefully employed in the page header and footer of the last printed page of such a file.

The depth of inclusion is made available, together with the “parent” (including file) and “parents” (all including files to the root of the tree).

The package supersedes FiNK.

enumitem - Control layout of itemize, enumerate, description

This package provides user control over the layout of the three basic list environments: enumerate, itemize and description. It supersedes both enumerate and mdwlist (providing well-structured replacements for all their funtionality), and in addition provides functions to compute the layout of labels, and to 'clone' the standard environments, to create new environments with counters of their own.

epstopdf-pkg - Call epstopdf "on the fly"

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.

etex - An extended version of TeX, from the NTS project

An extended version of TeX (capable of running as if it were unmodified TeX). E-TeX has been specified by the LaTeX team as the base engine for LaTeX2ε. Thus, LaTeX programmers may assume e-TeX functionality, along with additional extensions.

The pdftex engine and others directly incorporate the e-TeX extensions. The etex program in most distributions is an incarnation of pdftex running in DVI mode.

The development source for e-TeX is the TeX Live source repository, although further extensions have taken place in the pdftex and other engine sources, keeping e-TeX stable.

etexcmds - Avoid name clashes with e-TeX commands

New primitive commands are introduced in e-TeX; sometimes the names collide with existing macros. This package solves the name clashes by adding a prefix to e-TeX’s commands. For example, ε-TeX’s \unexpanded is provided as \etex@unexpanded.
latest sources | project homepage | License: LPPL-1.3c

etoolbox - e-TeX tools for LaTeX

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.

everyshi - Take action at every \shipout

This package provides hooks into \sshipout called \EveryShipout and \AtNextShipout analogous to \AtBeginDocument.

With the introduction of the LaTeX hook management this package became obsolete in 2020 and is only provided for backwards compatibility. For current versions of LaTeX it is only mapping the hooks to the original everyshi macros. In case you use an older LaTeX format, everyshi will automatically fall back to its old implementation by loading everyshi-2001-05-15.

fancyvrb - Sophisticated verbatim text

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).
latest sources | project homepage | License: LPPL-1.3c

filecontents - Create an external file from within a LaTeX document

LaTeX2ε’s filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it runs through LaTeX. However, there are two limitations of these environments: they refuse to overwrite existing files, and they can only be used in the preamble of a document. The filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you overwrite existing files and letting you use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere.

As of September 2019 the author tells us: “This package is no longer necessary due to its functionality having moved into recent LaTeX kernels. It’s probably better not to move the package to obsolete because users may need it to rebuild old documents. Version 1.5 provides full functionality when run with an older kernel but issues a warning message and disables itself when run with a newer kernel.”

Supply the overwrite option to LaTeX’s built-in filecontents environment to mimic this package’s behavior:

\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{my-file}...\end{filecontents}

filehook - Hooks for input files

The package provides several file hooks (AtBegin, AtEnd, …) for files read by \input, \include and \InputIfFileExists. General hooks for all such files (e.g. all \included ones) and file specific hooks only used for named files are provided; two hooks are provided for the end of \included files — one before, and one after the final \clearpage.
latest sources | project homepage | License: LPPL-1.3

filemod - Provide file modification times, and compare them

The package provides macros to read and compare the modification dates of files. The files may be .tex files, images or other files (as long as they can be found by LaTeX). It uses the \pdffilemoddate primitive of pdfLaTeX to find the file modification date as PDF date string, parses the string and returns the value to the user. The package will also work for DVI output with recent versions of the LaTeX compiler which uses pdfLaTeX in DVI mode. The functionality is provided by purely expandable macros or by faster but non-expandable ones.

float - Improved interface for floating objects

Improves the interface for defining floating objects such as figures and tables. Introduces the boxed float, the ruled float and the plaintop float. You can define your own floats and improve the behaviour of the old ones.

The package also provides the H float modifier option of the obsolete here package. You can select this as automatic default with \floatplacement{figure}{H}.
latest sources | project homepage | License: LPPL-1.0

geometry - 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).

gincltex - Include TeX files as graphics (.tex support for \includegraphics)

The package builds on the standard LaTeX packages graphics and/or graphicx and allows external LaTeX source files to be included, in the same way as graphic files, by \includegraphics. In effect, then package adds support for the .tex extension.

Some of the lower level operations like clipping and trimming are implemented using the adjustbox package which includes native pdfLaTeX support and uses the pgf package for other output formats.

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.

lua-uni-algos - Unicode algorithms for LuaTeX

Lua code working with Unicode data has to deal with quite some challenges. For example there are many canonically equivalent sequences which should be treated in the same way, and even identifying a single character becomes quite different once you have to deal with all kinds of combining characters, emoji sequences and syllables in different scripts.

Therefore lua-uni-algos wants to build a collection of small libraries implementing algorithms to deal with lots of the details in Unicode, such that authors of LuaTeX packages can focus on their actual functionality instead of having to fight against the peculiarities of Unicode.

Given that this package provides Lua modules, it is only useful in Lua(HB)TeX. Additionally, it expects an up-to-date version of the unicode-data package to be present.

This package is intended for package authors only; no user-level functionality provided.

pdfcolmk - Improved colour support under pdfTeX (legacy stub)

The package used to provide macros that emulated the ‘colour stack’ functionality of dvips. The colour stack deals with colour manipulations when asynchronous events (like page-breaking) occur. At the time the package was written, pdfTeX did not (yet) have such a stack, though dvips had had one for a long time.

This package was an experimental solution to the problem, and worked best with pdfε-TeX.

For current releases of pdfTeX (later than version 1.40.0, released in 2007), this package is not needed, since “real” colour stacks are available. The present pdfcolmk is therefore just an empty stub that does nothing at all, just in case there are still documents that reference it.

ydoc - Macros for documentation of LaTeX classes and packages

The package provides macros and environments to document LaTeX packages and classes. It is an (as yet unfinished) alternative to the ltxdoc class and the doc or xdoc packages. The aim is to provide a different layout and more modern styles (using the xcolor, hyperref packages, etc.)

This is an alpha release, and should probably not (yet) be used with other packages, since the implementation might change. Nevertheless, the author uses it to document his own packages.
