This package defines the command \perfectcut#1#2 which displays a bracket <#1||#2>. Various other delimiters are similarly defined (parentheses, square brackets ...). The effect of these commands is to let the delimiters grow according to the number of nested \perfectcommands (regardless of the size of the contents).

The package was originally intended for solving a notational issue for direct-style continuation calculi in proof theory. For general use, the package also defines commands for defining other sorts of delimiters which will behave in the same way. The package also offers a robust reimplementation of \big, \bigg, etc.

Many people preparing their resumes find the requirement ``please list five (or six, or ten) papers authored by you''. The same requirement is often stated for reports prepared by professional teams. The creation of such lists may be a cumbersome task. Even more difficult is it to support such lists over the time, when new papers are added. The BibTeX style bestpapers.bst is intended to facilitate this task. It is based on the idea that it is easier to score than to sort: we can assign a score to a paper and then let the computer select the papers with highest scores.

This program can be used to automate the upload of a package to CTAN. The description of the package is contained in a configuration file. The provided information is validated in any case. If the validation succeeds and not only the validation is requested, then the provided archive file will be placed in the incoming area of the CTAN for further processing by the CTAN team. In any case any finding during the validation is reported at the end of the processing. Note that the validation is the default and an official submission has to be requested by an appropriate command line option.

This bundle provides a class examdesign. The class provides several features useful for designing tests or question sets: it allows for explicit markup of questions and answers; the class will, at the user's request, automatically generate answer keys; multiple versions of the same test can be generated automatically, with the ordering of questions within each section randomly permuted so as to minimize cheating; the generated answer keys can be constructed either with or without the questions included; environments are provided to assist in constructing the most common types of test question: matching, true/false, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer/essay questions.

This package provides an user interface for making LaTeX cross-references flexibly, while allowing to have them checked for consistency with the document structure as typeset. Statements such as above, on the next page, previously, can be given to \zcheck in free-form, and a set of checks can be specified to be run against a given label, which will result in a warning at compilation time if any of these checks fail. \zctarget and the zcregion environment are also defined as a means to easily set label targets to arbitrary places in the text which can be referred to by \zcheck.

The package provides macros to collect and process a macro argument (i.e., something which looks like a macro argument) as a horizontal box rather than as a real macro argument. The "arguments" are stored as if they had been saved by \savebox or by the lrbox environment. Grouping tokens \bgroup and \egroup may be used, which allows the user to have the beginning and end of a group in different macro invocations, or to place them in the begin and end code of an environment. Arguments may contain verbatim material or other special use of characters. The macros were designed for use within other macros.

This package provides for LuaLaTeX an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic writing from an ascii transliteration. It is particularly well-suited for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing. arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeX input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet to come to produce from .tex source files, in addition to printed books, TEI XML compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.

This package aims to improve of font readability in presentations, especially with maths. The standard CM maths fonts at large design sizes are difficult to read from far away, especially at low resolutions and low contrast color choice. Using this package leads to much better overall readability of some font combinations. The package offers a couple of harmonising combinations of text and maths fonts from the (distant) relatives of Computer Modern fonts, with a couple of extras for optimising readability. Text fonts from Computer Modern roman, Computer Modern sans serif, SliTeX Computer Modern sans serif, Computer Modern Bright, or Concrete Roman are available, in addition to maths fonts from Computer Modern maths, Computer Modern Bright maths, or Euler fonts.

This collection comprises a set of four manuals, or Author Handbooks, each documenting the use of a class of publications based on one of the AMS document classes amsart, amsbook, amsproc and one hybrid, as well as a guide to the generation of the four manuals from a coordinated set of LaTeX source files. The Handbooks comprise the user documentation for the pertinent document classes. As the source for the Handbooks consists of a large number of files, and the intended output is multiple different documents, the principles underlying this collection can be used as a model for similar projects. The manual Compiling the AMS Author Handbooks provides information about the structure of and interaction between the various components.

LaTeX tables are implemented using TeX commands such as \halign, \noalign, \span, and \omit. In order to implement new features, many macro packages have modified the inner table commands inside LaTeX. This makes package code complicated, difficult to maintain, and often conflicts with each other. At present, the LaTeX3 programming layer is basically mature. This tabularray package will discard the old \halign commands and directly use LaTeX3 functions to parse the table, and then typeset the entire table. Under the premise of being compatible with the basic syntax of LaTeX2 tables, this macro package will completely separate the content and style of the table, and the style of the table can be completely set in keyval way.

The greektonoi mapping extends the betababel package or the Babel polutonikogreek option to provide a simple way to insert ancient Greek texts with diacritical characters into your document using a similar method to the commonly used Beta Code transliteration, but with much more freedom. It is designed especially for the XeTeX engine and it could also be used for fast and easy modification of monotonic Greek texts to polytonic. The output text is natively encoded in Unicode, so it can be reused in any possible way. The greektonoi package provides, in addition to inserting Greek accents and breathings, many other symbols used in Greek numbers and arithmetic or in the Greek archaic period. It could be used with greektonoi mapping or indepedently.

This collection contains implementations for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the Designer Interface. The packages here are considered broadly stable (The LaTeX3 Project does not expect the interfaces to alter radically). These packages are built on LaTeX2e conventions at the interface level, and so may not migrate in the current form to a stand-alone LaTeX3 format.

Packages provided are xparse, which provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands xfp, an expandable IEEE 754 FPU for LaTeX, l3keys2e, which makes the facilities of the kernel module l3keys available for use by LaTeX 2e packages, xtemplate, which provides a means of defining generic functions using a key-value syntax, and xfrac, which provides flexible split-level fractions.

The knuth-hint package contains the large collection of HINT documents for many of the CWEB amd WEB sources of programs in the TeX Live distribution (and, for technical reasons, PDF documents for CTWILL and XeTeX). Each program is presented in its original form as written by the respective authors, and in the changed form as used in TeX Live. Care has been taken to keep the section numbering intact, so that you can study the codes and the changes in parallel.

Also included are the errata for Donald Knuth's Computers & Typesetting. HINT is the dynamic document format created by Martin Ruckert's HiTeX engine. The HINT files can be viewed with the hintview application. The knuth-hint package is a showcase of HiTeX's capabilities.

Typesetting derivatives and differentials in a consistent way are clumsy and require care to ensure the preferred formatting. Several packages have been developed for this purpose, each with its own features and drawbacks, with the most ambitious one being diffcoeff. While this package is comparable to diffcoeff in terms of features, it takes a different approach. One difference is this package provides more options to tweak the format of the derivatives and differentials. However, the automatic calculation of the total order isn't as developed as the one in diffcoeff. This package makes it easy to write derivatives and differentials consistently with its predefined commands. It also provides a set of commands that can define custom derivatives and differential operators. The options follow a consistent naming scheme making them easy to use and understand.

The package allows the user to optimise presentation of LaTeX tables and figures. Boxhandler will lay out table and figure captions with a variety of stylistic apperances, and will also allow figures and tables to be wrapped in a manner consistent with many business and government documents. For a document that might appear in different venues with different formatting, boxhandler permits the creation of a LaTeX source document that can, with a single-line change in the source code, produce an output that has very different layout from the baseline configuration, not only in terms of caption style, but more importantly in terms of the locations where figures, tables and lists appear (or not) in the document. Deferral routines also allow one to keep all figure and table data in a separate source file, while nonetheless producing a document with figures and tables appearing in the desired location.

It is often desirable to take an exisiting PDF and easily add annotations or text overlaying the PDF. This might arise if you wish to add comments to a PDF, fill in a PDF form, or add text to a PDF where space has been left for notes. This package provides a simple interface to do this without having to resort to inserting one page at a time. Some or all of the pages of the PDF can be included and not all pages of the PDF need have overlayed text. It is also possible to include text between pages of the PDF. Another advantage of this package is that the overlayed text can be set as normal flowing from one page to another or with manual page breaks if you wish. It is also possible to use any standard method to position text at arbitrary places on a given page.

The glossaries package supports acronyms and multiple glossaries, and has provision for operation in several languages (using the facilities of either Babel or Polyglossia). New entries are defined to have a name and description (and optionally an associated symbol). Support for multiple languages is offered, and plural forms of terms may be specified. An additional package, glossaries-accsupp, can make use of the accsupp package mechanisms for accessibility support for PDF files containing glossaries. The user may define new glossary styles, and preambles and postambles can be specified. There is provision for loading a database of terms, but only terms used in the text will be added to the relevant glossary.

The package uses an indexing program to provide the actual glossary; either MakeIndex or Xindy may serve this purpose, and a Perl script is provided to serve as interface. The package supersedes glossary package (which is now obsolete).

This is a collection of various single-file plain TeX macros written by Petr Olsak:

• booklet.tex: re-orders PDF pages and collects them for booklet printing;

• cnv.tex: conversion of texts;

• cnv-pu.tex: example of usage of cnv.tex --- pdf outlines in Unicode;

• cnv-word.tex: example of usage of cnv.tex --- word to word conversion;

• eparam.tex: full expansion during parameter scanning;

• fun-coffee.tex: generates splotches in the document;

• openclose.tex: repairs balanced text between \Open and \Close pair;

• qrcode.tex: QR code generated at TeX level;

• scanbase.tex: parser of text-style MySQL outputs;

• scancsv.tex: parser of CSV format;

• seplist.tex: macros with alternative separators of a parameter;

• xmlparser.tex: parser of XML language.

This package gives the user complete control of how the entries of the table of contents should be constituted from the name, number, and page number of each sectioning unit. The layout is controlled by the definition of line styles for each sectioning level used in the document.

The package provides its own custom line styles (which may be used as examples), and continues to support the standard formatting inherited from the LaTeX document classes, but the package can also allow the user to delegate the details to packages dealing with list making environments (such as enumitem). The package's default global style typesets tables of contents in a multi-column format, with either a standard heading, or a ruled title (optionally with a frame around the table).

The \tableofcontents command may be used arbitrarily many times in the same document, while \localtableofcontents provides a local table of contents.

This package provides a Java application to query OS information designed for use in TeX's shell escape mechanism. The application can query the following:

• locale and codeset,

• current working directory,

• user home directory

• temporary directory,

• OS name, arch and version,

• current date and time in PDF format (for TeX formats that don't provide \pdfcreationdate),

• date-time stamp of a file in PDF format (for TeX formats that don't provide \pdffilemoddate),

• size of a file in bytes (for TeX formats that don't provide \pdffilesize),

• contents of a directory (captured as a list),

• directory contents filtered by regular expression (captured as a list),

• URI or canonical path of a file. All paths use a forward slash as directory divider so results can be used, for example, in commands like \includegraphics.

There are files provided for easy access in TeX documents. texosquery.tex provides generic TeX code, whereas texosquery.sty is a LaTeX package, which provides commands to run texosquery using TeX's shell escape mechanism and capture the result in a control sequence.

This is the Babel style for Malay.

This package contains the Japanese pTeX manual.

The package provides configuration files for LaTeX-related formats.

This package finds the differences between two PDF files.
