The package provides easy access to ancient Greek names of days and months of various regions of Greece. In case the historical information about a region is not complete, we use the Athenian name of the month. Moreover commands and options are provided, in order to completely switch to the ancient way, such as \today.

The package provides facilities for creating and managing keys in the sense of the keyval and xkeyval packages, but it is intended to be more robust and faster. Its robustness comes from its ability to preserve braces in key values throughout parsing. The need to preserve braces in key values arises often in parsing keys (for example, in the xwatermark package). The package also provides functions for defining and managing keys.

The package provides a command \patchcommand that can be used to add material at the beginning and the end of the replacement text of an existing macro. It works for macros with any number of normal arguments, including those that were defined with \DeclareRobustCommand.

The Perl script pkfix looks for DVIPSBitmapFont comments in PostScript files, generated by not too old dvips, and replaces them by type 1 versions of the fonts, if possible.

The package provides macros that collect the content of a tabular cell, and offer them as an argument to a macro. Special care is taken to remove all aligning macros inserted by tabular from the cell content. The macros also work in the last column of a table, but do not support verbatim material inside the cells.

This package provides a set of replacements for the default LaTeX classes, based upon the Koma-Script bundle and the seminar class. It includes hcart, hcreport, hcletter, and hcslides.

The package provides facilities to draw Bode, Nyquist and Black plots using Gnuplot and Tikz. Elementary Transfer Functions and basic correctors are preprogrammed for use.

Comic Neue is a well-known redesign of the (in)famous Comic Sans font. The package provides the original OpenType font for XeTeX and LuaTeX users, and also has converted Type1 files for pdfTeX users.

The schule bundle was built to provide packages and commands that could be useful for documents in German schools. At the moment, its main focus lies on documents for informatics as a school subject. An extension for physics is currently in progress.

For the time being, the whole package splits up into individual packages for informatics (including syntax diagrams, Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams, sequence diagrams, object diagrams, and class diagrams) as well as classes for written exams (tests, quizzes, teaching observations, information sheets, worksheets, and answer keys).

This package allows users to execute saved code to typeset text while preserving SyncTeX information.

Writing Scientific Documents Using LaTeX is an article introducing the use of LaTeX in typesetting scientific documents. It covers the basics of creating a new LaTeX document, special typesetting considerations, mathematical typesetting and graphics. It also touches on bibliographic data and BibTeX.

The bundle provides a toolkit intended for students writing a thesis in French law. It features a LaTeX document class, a bibliographic style for BibLaTeX package, a practical example of french thesis document, and documentation. The class assumes use of Biber and BibLaTeX.

Biber is a BibTeX replacement for users of BibLaTeX. It supports full UTF-8, can (re)-encode input and output, supports highly configurable sorting, dynamic bibliography sets and many other features.

This package provides a portable computer algebra system capable of symbolic computation, written entirely in Lua, designed for use in LuaLaTeX. Its features are: arbitrary-precision integer and rational arithmetic, factoring of univariate polynomials over the rationals and finite fields, number theoretic algorithms, symbolic differentiation and integration, and more. The target audience for this package are mathematics students, instructors, and professionals who would like some ability to perform basic symbolic computations within LaTeX without the need for laborious and technical setup.

The package makes available the pdfjam shell script that provides a simple interface to much of the functionality of the excellent pdfpages package for LaTeX. The pdfjam script takes one or more PDF files (and/or JPG/PNG graphics files) as input, and produces one or more PDF files as output. It is useful for joining files together, selecting pages, reducing several source pages onto one output page, etc.

This package contains the OpenType Textura font Missaali and a style file for using it with XeLaTeX. Textura is a typeface based on the textus quadratus form of the textualis formata that late medieval scribes used for the most valuable manuscripts. The font Missaali is based on Textura that German printer Bartholomew Ghotan used for printing missals and psalters in the 1480s.

This font has two intended use cases: as a Gothic display font; and for emulating late-medieval manuscripts. In addition to the basic Textura letters, the font contains a large number of abbreviation sigla as well as a set of Lombardic initials. As modern typesetting algorithms are not intended for creating 15th century style layout, the package contains a XeLaTeX style file that makes it easier to achieve the classic incunabula look.

This package provides a map between traditional Adobe glyph names and Unicode points; it is maintained by Adobe. The additional texglyphlist.txt is maintained as part of lcdf-typetools.

The package calculates the age of someone or something in years. Internally it uses the datenumber package to calculate the age in days; conversion from days to years is then performed, taking care of leap years and such odd things.

This package defines a \FloatBarrier command, beyond which floats may not pass; useful, for example, to ensure all floats for a section appear before the next \section command.

The aim of this LaTeX package is to provide a complete as possible list of common Unicode symbols with their translations to LaTeX code. This is useful in the development of templates which are intended to work with modern TeX engines (LuaTeX, XeTeX) as well as traditional ones (TeX, pdfTeX).

The GFSNeohellenic font, a historic font first designed by Victor Scholderer, now has native support for Mathematics. A useful application is in Beamer documents since this is a sans math font.

The package provides five commands to create Harvey Balls in a document.

This is the original, and somewhat dated, TeX chess font package. Potential users should consider skak (for alternative fonts, and notation support), texmate (for alternative notation support), or chessfss (for flexible font choices).

The package makes it easy to create beautiful optimality-theoretic tableaux. The LaTeX source is visually very similar to a formatted tableau, which makes working with the source code painless (well, less painful). A variety of stylistic variants are available to suit personal taste.
