The rcs package utilizes the inclusion of RCS supplied data in LaTeX documents. In particular, you can easily access values of every RCS field in your document put the checkin date on the titlepage or put RCS fields in a footline. You can also typeset revision logs. You can also configure the rcs package easily to do special things for any keyword.

Pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts. Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than 5.58 (circa 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced by older versions of dvips. Pkfix-helper is a program that attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process documents fully autonomously but does require the user to verify and, if needed, correct its decisions.

The package simplifies production of custom shapes with correct anchor borders, in PGF/TikZ; the only requirement is a PGF path describing the anchor border. The package also provides macros that help with the management of shape parameters, and the definition of anchor points.

This package provides some commands (with English and French keys) to work with tangram puzzles: \beginEnvTangramTikz and \PieceTangram to position a piece, \TangramTikz to display a predefined tangram.

This package provides the \includecombinedgraphics macro for the inclusion of combined EPS/LaTeX and PDF/LaTeX graphics. Instead of including the graphics with a simple \input, the \includecombinedgraphics macro has some comforts: changing the font and color of the text of the LaTeX part; rescaling the graphics without affecting the font of the LaTeX part; automatic inclusion of the vector graphics part, as far as LaTeX part does not do it; and rescaling and rotating of complete graphics.

The package provides the environments footnoterange and footnoterange*. Multiple footnotes inside these environments are not referenced as (e.g.) 1 2 3 but as 1-3, i.e., the range (from first to last referred footnote at that place) is given. If the hyperref package is loaded with enabled hyperfootnotes option, then the references are hyperlinked. (References to footnotes in footnoterange* environments are never hyperlinked.)

The class produces a document that conforms to the format described in the University's Handbook for Graduate Students Preparing to Deposit.

The hypdvips package fixes some problems when using hyperref with Dvips. It also adds support for breaking links, file attachments, embedded documents and different types of GoTo-links. The cooperation of hyperref with cleveref is improved, which in addition allows an enhanced back-referencing system.

Every scientifc document requires outlining before it is written. This package adds simple macros for your LaTeX document.

The confproc collection comprises a class, a BibTeX style, and some scripts for generating conference proceedings.

This package allows you to typeset monographs and edited volumes for publication with Language Science Press. It includes all necessary files for title pages, frontmatter, main content, list of references and indexes.

The package provides a diagram environment. This allows the LaTeX user to easily create complex commutative diagrams, by placing formula nodes on a conceptual grid and attaching arrows to them.

This package allows creating free form slides with blocks placed on a grid. The blocks can be filled with text, equations, figures etc. The resulting slides are similar to the ones produced with LaTeX beamer, but more flexible. Sequential unconvering of elements is supported. A compiler script is provided which compiles each slide separately, this way avoiding long compile times.

This package implements a command \roundbox that can be used, in LaTeX, for producing boxes, framed with rounded corners.

This package offers Adobe Type 1 versions of the fonts provided as Metafont source by the skak bundle.

The ffslides (``freeform slides'') class is intended to make it easier to place various types of content freely on the page, and therefore easier to design documents with a strong visual component: presentations, posters, research or lecture notes, and so on. The goal of the class is to be less rigid and less complex than some of the popular presentation-making options. It is essentially a small set of macros added to the article class.

dvipos parses a DVI file looking for pos: specials. It then outputs the information from those specials along with information that only a DVI postprocessor could determine, such as the current x and y location.

These packages are either mandated by the core LaTeX team, or very widely used and strongly recommended in practice.

The package uses a text font (usually the document's text font) for the letters of the Latin alphabet needed when typesetting mathematics. (Optionally, other characters in the font may also be used). This facility makes possible (for a document with simple mathematics) a far wider choice of text font, with little worry that no specially designed accompanying maths fonts are available. The package also offers a simple mechanism for using many different choices of (text hence, now, maths) font in the same document. Of course, using one font for two purposes helps produce smaller PDF files.

The class is designed either to conform with the recommendations of the Bavarian Kultusministerium for typesetting w-seminar papers (strict mode), or to use another style which should look better. The class is based on the LaTeX standard report class.

The package merely provides a variation of \DeclareRobustCommand, which checks for the existence of a command before declaring it robust.

Cooper Hewitt is a contemporary sans serif, with characters composed of modified-geometric curves and arches, by Chester Jenkins.

The package uses PStricks and pst-solides3d to draw three dimensional ribbons on a cylinder, torus, sphere, cone or paraboloid. The width of the ribbon, the number of turns, the colour of the outer and the inner surface of the ribbon may be set. In the case of circular and conical helices, one may also choose the number of ribbons.

Cantarell is a contemporary Humanist sans serif designed by Dave Crossland and Jakub Steiner. The present package provides support for this font in LaTeX. It includes Type 1 versions of the fonts, converted for this package using FontForge from its sources, for full support with Dvips.
