At the department of computer science at the University of Dortmund there are cardboard cover pages for research or internal reports like master and phd theses. The main function of this LaTeX2e document-class is a replacement for the \maketitle command to typeset a title page that is adjusted to these cover pages.

The built-in determination of the bounding box in TikZ is not entirely accurate. This is because, for Bezier curves, it is the smallest box that contains all control points, which is in general larger than the box that just contains the curve. This library determines the exact bounding box of the curve.

The package mailmerge provides an interface to produce text from a template, where fields are replaced by actual data, as in a database. The package may be used to produce several letters from a template, certificates or other such documents. It allows access to the entry number, number of entries and so on.

The package provides a relatively easy way of estimating the number of words in a LaTeX document. It requires something like Unix grep -c that can search a file for a particular string and report the number of matching lines. An accompanying shell script wordcount.sh contains more information in its comments.

Using this package, \nolbreaks{some text} to prevent line breaks in some text. This has the advantage over \mbox that glue (rubber space) remains flexible. Most common cases are handled here (\linebreak is disabled, for example) but spaces hidden in macros or { and } can still create break-points.

This package provides a Python script and a LaTeX .sty file which can be used together to include Jupyter Notebooks (all of them, or some specific cells) as part of a LaTeX document. It will convert the Jupyter Notebook format to proper LaTeX so it gets included seamlessly, supporting text, LaTeX, images, etc.

The package provides hooks to perform actions on every page, or on the current page. Specifically, actions are performed after the page is composed, but before it is shipped, so they can be used to prepare the output page in tasks like putting watermarks in the background, or in setting the next page layout, etc.

The package logs LaTeX's progress through the file, making the LaTeX output more verbose. This helps to make LaTeX debugging easier, as it is simpler to find where exactly LaTeX failed. The package outputs the typesetting of section, subsection and subsubsection headers and (if amsmath is loaded) details of the align environment.

This package provides the capability of adding keywords (with a \keywords command), a running title (\runningtitle), AMS subject classifications (\amssubj), and an author's footnote as footnotes to the title or first page of a document. It works with any class for which the \thanks macro works (e.g., article).

This package lets you typeset keywords of the version control system Subversion inside your LaTeX files anywhere you like. Unlike the otherwise similar package svn, the use of multiple files for one LaTeX document is well supported. The package interacts with an external Perl script, to retrieve information necessary for the required output.

The package provides a robust interface to controlling keys in xkeyval, removing some of that package's restrictions. The package also addresses some of the issues now covered by ltxkeys package, which was assumed to be a replacement for keyreader. Since keyreader has remained a favourite with users, it has been reinstated.

The package takes control of the six TeX token registers \everypar, \everymath, \everydisplay, \everyhbox, \everyvbox and \everycr. Real hooks for each of the registers may be installed using a stack like interface. For backwards compatibility, each of the \everyX token lists can be set without interfering with the hooks.

prettyref provides a command \newrefformat, which specifies the way in which a reference is typeset, according to a label identification. The identification is set in the \label command, by using prefixed label names; so instead of \label{mysection}, one uses \label{sec:mysection}, and prettyref interprets the sec: part.

The package provides packages and classes for typesetting applications with titlepage, cover letter, CV and additional documents in just a single document. There is also a class for printing a table of the latest applications that can be shown to the German authorities. The data for these applications can be maintained in a simple CSV file.

Having trouble finding the answer to a LaTeX question? The Visual LaTeX FAQ is a search interface that presents over a hundred typeset samples of frequently requested document formatting. Simply click on a hyperlinked piece of text and the Visual LaTeX FAQ will send your web browser to the appropriate page in the TeX FAQ.

The package is a small set of macros for drawing direction fields, phase portraits and trajectories of differential equations and two dimensional autonomous systems. The Euler, Runge-Kutta and fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithms are available to solve the ODEs. The picture is translated into mfpic macros and MetaPost is used to create the final drawing.

This collection of files contains LaTeX packages for posters of ISO A3 size and larger (ISO A0 is the default size). American paper sizes and custom paper are supported. In particular, sciposter.cls defines a document class which allows cutting and pasting most of an article to a poster without any editing (save reducing the size).

The package provides a mechanism to keep punctuation always in upright shape even if italic was specified. It is directed to Latin Modern fonts, and provides .tfm, .vf, .fd, and .sty files. Here a list of punctuation characters always presented in upright shapes: comma, period, semicolon, colon, parentheses, square brackets, and Arabic numerals.

The package flexipage allows easy page layout if marginalia is required. Mid document changes are possible such as: new marginal width, full width text, and landscape text without marginal. It partners well with the package sidenotesplus. The package also aids the layout for book printing, allowing for binding corrections and adding page bleed, if required.

The package geometry is excellent for customizing the page layout. However, using the \newgeometry command to change the page size in the middle of the document only affects the typing area and does not affect the real paper (stock) size. This package circumvents this situation by resizing the paper (stock) size to the new page layout.

This package is an extension of the hyperref package that provides a screen-based document design. This package helps to generate PDF documents that are readable on screen and will fit the screen's aspect ratio. Also it can be used with various options to produce regular print versions of the same document without any extra effort.

This package provides a collection of fragments of LaTeX code, suitable for inclusion in packages, or (possibly) in users documents. Included are: checklab, for modifying the label checking code at \end{document}; overrightarrow, defining a doubled over-arrow macro; removefr, for removing reset relations between counters; and subscript, defining a \textsubscript command.

This package provides a modification of the standard LaTeX letter class which prints multiple, pre-stamped, 5.5 by 3.5 postcards (a US standard size) via the envlab and mailing packages. An address database is employed to address the front side of each postcard and a message is printed on the back side of all.

This package provides a collection of LaTeX packages for drawing cute little animals and similar creatures using TikZ. Currently, the following TikZlings are included: anteater, bat, bear, bee, bug, cat, chicken, coati, elephant, hippo, koala, marmot, mole, mouse, owl, panda, penguin, pig, rhino, sheep, sloth, snowman, squirrel, and wolf. These little drawings can be customized in many ways.
