optional provides simple, flexible, optional compilation of LaTeX documents. Option switches may be given via package options, by the \UseOption command, or interactively via the \AskOption command (help text may be provided, by defining the \ExplainOptions command). The package is not robust, in the way that comment package is, against ill-behaved text. In particular, verbatim text may not be directly included in optional sections (whether they're included or not).

This module provides the breton style that can be set using \DTMsetstyle provided by datetime2.sty. This package is currently unmaintained.

This package provides basic utility programs, comprising: dvitype, which converts a TeX output (DVI) file to a plain text file; pooltype, which converts a TeX-suite program's pool (string) file into human-readable form; tftopl and pltotf, which convert TeX Font Metric (TFM) file to human readable Property List (PL) files and vice versa.

This class is prepared for short presentations with a modern look & feel. It offers the following features: custom background for each slide, predefined types of slides, simplified commands (e.g. for starting and ending slide). The class is built upon LaTeX Beamer, so all Beamer commands should work.

This package supports typesetting CJK documents. It allows users to specify the two ratios between the leading and the font size of the body text and the footnote text. For CJK typesetting, these ratios usually range from 1.5 to 1.67. This package is also capable of restoring the math leading to that of the Latin text (usually 1.2 times the font size).

The package provides macros that help to build a document repository for long living documents. It focuses on structure and re-use of text, code, figures etc. The basic concept is first to separate structure from content (i.e., text about a topic from the structure it is presented by) and then separating the content from the actual published document, thus enabling easy re-use of text blocks in different publications (i.e., text about a protocol in a short article about this protocol as well as in a book about many protocols); all without constantly copying or changing text. As a side effect, using the document classes provided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from someone who just wants to write articles and books.

The package offers package or class authors a way to format counters with patterns. These patterns do not affect normal LaTeX treatment of counters.

This package provides tools to generate a PK file from an Adobe Type 1 font. PK fonts are (or used to be) valuable in enabling previewers to view documents generated that use Type 1 fonts.

This package provides a means to write adpositional trees, a formalism devoted to representing natural language expressions.

Pacioli was a 15th century mathematician, and his font was designed according to the divine proportion. The font consists of uppercase letters together with punctuation and some analphabetics; no lowercase or digits. The package provides Metafont source for the font together with LaTeX support.

The package may be used for testing hyphenation patterns or for controlling that specific words are hyphenated as expected. This package implements some old TUGboat code to adapt it to LaTeX with some enhancements. It differs form \showhyphens, because it typesets its output on the document's output file. It also works with XeLaTeX, where \showhyphens requires a workaround.

Erewhon is based on the Heuristica package, which is based in turn on Utopia. Erewhon adds a number of new features --- small caps in all styles rather than just regular, added figure styles (proportional, inferior, numerator, denominator) and superior letters. The size is 6% smaller than Heuristica, matching that of UtopiaStd.

This package provides the binaries for texlive-dvipng.

This package provides control over the typography of the Table of Contents, List of Figures and List of Tables, and the ability to create new List of .... The ToC \parskip may be changed.

This LaTeX package bundle offers support for XDvipsk, an extension of the Dvips binary. XDvipsk supports BMP, PCX, TIFF, JPEG, and PNG formats and performs scaling, rotating, trim, and viewport operations like EPS images.

The xdvispk.def driver for the graphics package offers a LaTeX interface. However, it lacks clipping, trimming, and viewport operations. The LuaLaTeX package xdvipskmaps provides OpenType font support for XDvipsk. It generates map files containing information about OpenType fonts used in DVI files.

The logpap package provides four macros for drawing logarithmic-logarithmic, logarithmic-linear, linear-logarithmic and (because it was easy to implement) linear-linear graph paper with LaTeX.

Chicago is a BibTeX style that follows the B reference style of the 13th Edition of the Chicago manual of style; a LaTeX package is also provided. The style was derived from the newapa style.

The package provides a class based on memoir to prepare theses and memoirs compliant with the presentation rules set forth by the Faculty of Graduate Studies of Universite Laval, Quebec, Canada. The class also comes with an extensive set of templates for the various types of theses and memoirs offered at Laval.

Please note that the documentation for the class and the comments in the templates are all written in French, the language of the target audience.

The package provides a macro \psbcurve for drawing a Bezier curve. Provision is made for full control of over all the control points of the curve.

This package suppresses inappropriate ligatures following specified rules. Both font and user kerning are applied correctly, and f-glyphs are automatically replaced with their short-arm variant (if available). Also there is an emphasis on speed. By default the package applies German language ligature suppression rules. With the help of options and macros it can be used for other languages as well. The package requires LuaLaTeX.

The document aims to get you up and running with AMS-LaTeX as quickly as possible. These instructions are not a substitute for the full documentation, but they may get you started quickly enough so that you will only need to refer to the main documentation occasionally. In addition to AMS-LaTeX out of the box, the document contains a section describing how to draw commutative diagrams using Xy-pic and a section describing how to use amsrefs to create a bibliography.

The package provides bibliographies (in French) conforming to the rules in Guide de la communication ecrite (Malo, M., Quebec Amerique, 1996). The BibTeX styles were generated using custom-bib and they are compatible with natbib.

The package allows you to change the colour of the structural elements (inner theme and outer theme) of your Beamer presentation during the presentation. There is a manual option but there is also the option to have your structure colour change from one colour to another as a function of how far through the presentation you are.

These are font bundles for the Japanese Wadalab fonts which work with the CJK package. All subfonts now have glyph names compliant to the Adobe Glyph List, making ToUnicode CMaps in PDF documents (created automatically by dvipdfmx) work correctly. All font bundles now contain virtual Unicode subfonts.
