BibArts is a LaTeX package to assist in making bibliographical features common in the arts and the humanities (history, political science, philosophy, etc.). bibarts.sty provides commands for quotations, abbreviations, and especially for a formatted citation of literature, journals (periodicals), edited sources, and archive sources.

It will also copy all citation information, abbreviations, and register key words into lists for an automatically generated appendix. These lists may refer to page and footnote numbers. BibArts has nothing to do with BibTeX. The lists are created by bibsort. This program creates the bibliography without using MakeIndex or BibTeX.

This package provides a Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file may given in a special binary format to support the inclusion of a thumbnail. This file format, commonly known as DOS EPS format, starts with a binary header that contains the positions of the possible sections: PostScript (PS); Windows Metafile Format (WMF); and Tag Image File Format (TIFF). The PS section must be present and either the WMF file or the TIFF file should be given. The package provides a Perl program that will extract any of the sections of such a file, in particular providing a text'-form EPS file for use with (La)TeX.

This package consists of prerex.sty, a LaTeX package for producing charts of course nodes linked by arrows representing pre- and co-requisites, and prerex, an interactive program for creating and editing chart descriptions. The implementation of prerex.sty uses PGF, so that it may be used equally happily with LaTeX or PDFLaTeX; prerex itself is written in C. The package includes source code for a previewer application, a lightweight Qt-4 and Poppler-based prerex-enabled PDF viewer.

OpTeX is a LuaTeX format based on Plain TeX macros with power from OPmac (fonts selection system, colors, external graphics, references, hyperlinks, ...) with Unicode fonts.

The package provides aids for typesetting simple verses; the package is strong on layout, from simple alternate-line indentation to the Mouse's tale from Alice in Wonderland.

Grid setting --- also known as strict in-register setting --- is something, that should be done for a lot of documents but is not easy using LaTeX. The package helps to get the information needed for grid setting. It does not implement auto grid setting, but there is a command \vskipnextgrid, that moves to the next grid position. This may be enough under some circumstances, but in other circumstances it may fail. Thus gridset

The package formats articles using the MLA style. The aim is that students and other academics in the humanities should be able to typeset their materials, properly, with minimal effort on their part.

This package provides the PlayFairDisplay family of fonts, designed by Claus Eggers Sorensen, for use with LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. PlayFairDisplay is well suited for titling and headlines. It has an extra large x-height and short descenders. It can be set with no leading if space is tight, for instance in news headlines, or for stylistic effect in titles. Capitals are extra short, and only very slightly heavier than the lowercase characters. This helps achieve a more even typographical colour when typesetting proper nouns and initialisms.

This package provides the Metafont base files needed to build fonts using the Metafont system.

The class provides a variant of the LaTeX standard slides class, in which the user may add headers and footers to the slide.

lparse is derived from xparse, but only works with LuaTeX. Just as with xparse, it is possible to use a special syntax consisting of single letters to express the arguments of a macro. However, lparse is able to read arguments regardless of the macro systemd used -- whether LaTeX, or ConTeXt, or even plain TeX. Of course, LuaTeX must always be used as the engine.

The class provides an environment for creating a fancily laid out tabular curriculum vitae inspired by the european curriculum vitae. The distribution comes with a German and an English template.

The package romanbar allows typesetting roman numbers with bars. This package allows you to use those roman numbers as page number.

This package should be helpful for people working on (German) law. It (ab)uses BibTeX for citations of judgements and official documents. For this purpose, a special BibTeX-style is provided.

The package combines a document's columns into a PDF ``article thread''. PDF readers that support this mechanism can be instructed to scroll automatically from column to column, which facilitates on-screen reading of two-column documents. Even for single-column documents, threadcol supports the creation of multiple article threads, which help organize discontiguous but logically related regions of text into a form that the user can scroll through as if its contents were contiguous.

This LaTeX package gives meaning to various Unicode space characters.

The package provides macros for typesetting linguistic examples and glosses, with a refined mechanism for referencing examples and parts of examples. The package can be used with LaTeX or with Plain TeX.

This package provides a set of m4 macros for drawing high-quality electric circuits containing fundamental elements, amplifiers, transistors, and basic logic gates to include in TeX, LaTeX, or similar documents. Some tools and examples for other types of diagrams are also included. The macros can be evaluated to drawing commands in the pic language, which contains elements of a simple programming language, and is well-suited to line drawings requiring parametric or conditional components, fine tuning, significant geometric calculations or repetition, or that are naturally block structured or tree structured. Alternative output macros can create TeX output to be read by PSTricks, TikZ commands for use by the PGF bundle, or SVG.

The bundle offers a collection of macros and commands which are intended to make typesetting chemistry documents faster and more convenient. Coverage includes some nomenclature commands, oxidation numbers, thermodynamic data, newman projections, etc.

This package causes the page numbers in the DVI file (as defined by \count0) to be negative when roman page numbering is in effect.

This package provides a bundle of packages that arise in the author's area of interest: compliance of maths typesetting with ISO standards; symbols that work in both maths and text modes commas for both decimal separator and maths; and upright Greek letters in maths.

extractbb is a program that exports the dimensions of an image or PDF file to a plain text format that is easily parsed by TeX. This tool is rarely run directly by users, but is frequently used by packages running on XeTeX or upTeX. This package specifically contains a Lua-based re-implementation extractbb that behaves identically to the original C-based version distributed with Dvipdfmx.

The \stubs command creates as many repetitions as possible of its argument, at the bottom of the page; these stubs may be used (for example) for contact information.
