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 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.
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.
The package defines a new type of note, bibnote, which will always be added to the bibliography. The package allows footnotes and endnotes to be moved into the bibliography in the same way. The package can be used with natbib and BibLaTeX as well as plain LaTeX citations. Both sorted and unsorted bibliography styles are supported.
If you have \cite commands in \section-like commands, or in \caption, the citation will also appear in the table of contents, or list of whatever. If you are also using an unsrt-like bibliography style, these citations will come at the very start of the bibliography, which is confusing. This package suppresses the effect.
This package attempts to make the typing of language names, codes, and families slightly easier by providing macros to access pre-defined language --- code --- family combinations from two important databases, as well as the possibility to create new combinations. It may be particularly useful for large, collaborative projects as well as typologically minded ones with a variety of language examples.
This Tikz-based music-related package is targeted at pop/jazz guitar/bass/piano musicians. They usually need only the chords and the song structure. This package produces rectangular song patterns with one square per bar, with the chord shown inside the square. It also handles the song structure by showing the bar count and the repetitions of the patterns.
The se2thesis bundle provides a document class for writing a theses with the Chair of Software Engineering II at the University of Passau, Germany. The class is based on KOMA-Script classes. While the class provides some basic settings, mostly regrading the type area, fonts, and the title page, it still provides large degrees of freedom to its users.
This LaTeX packages provides two hooks for \enddocument that are executed after the hook of \AtEndDocument: \AfterLastShipout can be used for code that is to be executed right after the last \clearpage before the .aux file is closed. \AtVeryEndDocument is used for code after closing and final reading of the .aux file.
This package provides a Lua-enhanced command similar to \verb, as well as an environment similar to lstlisting. These can be safely used in the arguments of arbitrary commands without breaking, and they work correctly in the table of contents and indexes. The package also allows the creation of an arbitrary number of text-replacement rules and color presets.
This package consists of a class file and style files for writing reports at the IU8 department of IU faculty of BMSTU. The class defines all headings, structure elements and other things in respect of Russian standard GOST 7.32-2017. But there are correctives to be compatible with our local IU8 department requirements.
Navigator implements PDF features for all formats (with some limitations in ConTeXt) with pdfTeX, LuaTeX and XeTeX. Its features include: customizable outlines (i.e. bookmarks); anchors; links and actions (e.g., JavaScript or user-defined PDF actions); file embedding (not in ConTeXt); document information and PDF viewer's display (not in ConTeXt); and commands to create and use raw PDF objects.
This package provides a LaTeX2e document class named ua-thesis for typesetting theses and dissertations in the official format required by the University of Arizona. Moreover, there is a fully compatible alternative document class my-thesis for private nice copies of the dissertation, and the respective title pages are available as separate packages to work with any document class.
This is a beta version of the STEP Greek font. Only a regular face is available at present, though there are plans to add italic, bold and bold italic in the future. The font only supports LGR in TeX and is meant to serve as a Greek complement to a Times-like font such as STEP. The font supports polytonic Greek.
The bgteubner document class has been programmed by order of the Teubner Verlag, Wiesbaden, Germany, to ensure that books of this publisher have a unique layout. Unfortunately, most of the documentation is only available in German. Since the document class is intended to generate a unique layout, many things (layout etc.) are fixed and cannot be altered by the user.
The asciilist package provides the environments AsciiList and AsciiDocList, which enable quickly typesetting nested lists in LaTeX without having to type individual item macros or opening/closing list environments. The package provides auxiliary functionality for loading such lists from files and provides macros for configuring the use of the list environments and the appearance of the typeset results.
This package provides a flexible LaTeX2e class for typesetting school cafeteria menus consisting of two lunches (with dessert), and dinner. It supports two different layouts. The first layout is optimized for printing the menu on A4 paper. The second layout is optimized for smartphone screens and uses one (A6 sized) page per day. Supported localizations are English (GB/US) and German.
This package provides array data structures in (La)TeX, in the meaning of the classical procedural programming languages like Fortran, Ada or C, and macros to manipulate them. Arrays can be mono or bi-dimensional. This is useful for applications which require high level programming techniques, like algorithmic graphics programmed in the TeX language. The package supersedes the arrayjob package.
Cochineal is a fork from the Crimson fonts (Roman, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic only), which contain roughly 4200 glyphs in the four styles mentioned above. Cochineal adds more than 1500 glyphs in those styles so that it is possible to make a TeX support collection that contains essentially all glyphs in all styles. The fonts are provided in OpenType and PostScript formats.
This LaTeX package provides commands \drawnimstick to draw a single nim stick and \nimgame which represents games of multi-pile Nim. Nim sticks are drawn with a little random wobble so they look thrown together and not too regular. The package also provides options to customise the size and colour of the sticks, and flexibility to draw heaps of different objects.
Bodoni's Greek fonts in the 18th century broke, for the first time, with the Byzantine cursive tradition of Greek fonts. GFS Bodoni resurrects his work for general use. The font family supports both Greek and Latin letters. LaTeX support of the fonts is provided, offering OT1, T1 and LGR encodings. The fonts themselves are provided in Adobe Type 1 and OpenType formats.
If your LaTeX document is version-controlled with Git, you might encounter situations, where you want to include some information of your Git repository into your LaTeX document, e.g., to keep track on who gave you feedback on which version of your document. This Git information can be included on every page by a watermark or (for custom needs) via provided variables.
This package provides for the easy creation of chronological charts, which show visually the relative historical positions of people and events. Each event or period can be specified by a single line of LaTeX code comprising (possibly uncertain) start and finish dates and a label, and the package takes care of indicating the uncertainties and whether intervals extend beyond the specified bounds of the chart.
