The float package improves the interface for defining floating objects such as figures and tables. It introduces the boxed float, the ruled float and the plaintop float. You can define your own floats and improve the behaviour of the old ones. The package also provides the H float modifier option of the obsolete here package.
This package can be used to format strategic games. For a 2x2 game, for example, the input: \begin{game}22 &$L$ &$M$\\ $T$ &$2,2$ &$2,0$\\ $B$ &$3,0$ &$0,9$ \end{game} produces output with (a) boxes around the payoffs, (b) payoff columns of equal width, and (c) payoffs vertically centered within the boxes.
Xindy was developed after an impasse had been encountered in the attempt to complete internationalisation of makeindex. Xindy can be used to process indexes for documents marked up using (La)TeX, Nroff family and SGML-based languages. Xindy is highly configurable, both in markup terms and in terms of the collating order of the text being processed.
This package provides extensions to epic and the LaTeX picture drawing environment. It includes the drawing of lines at any slope, the drawing of circles in any radii, and the drawing of dotted and dashed lines much faster with much less TeX memory, and providing several new commands for drawing ellipses, arcs, splines, and filled circles and ellipses.
This package, which works both for Plain TeX and for LaTeX, defines the \ifPDFTeX, \ifXeTeX, and \ifLuaTeX conditionals for testing which engine is being used for typesetting. The package also provides the \RequirePDFTeX, \RequireXeTeX, and \RequireLuaTeX commands which throw an error if pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX (respectively) is not the engine in use.
The bundle provides a Beamer-derived class and a theme style file for the corporate design of the UR. It also contains a scrlttr2-derived class for letters using the corporate design of the UR. Users may use the class itself (URbeamer) or use the theme in the usual way with \usetheme{UR}.
The package is for use in Qualitative Data Analysis research. It supports the integration of Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) research tasks, specifically for Grounded Theory, into the LaTeX work flow. It assists in the analysis of textual data such as interview transcripts and field notes by providing the LaTeX user with macros which are used to markup textual information.
This package provides a development of TeX, which deals in multi-octet Unicode characters, to enable native treatment of a wide range of languages without changing character-set. Work on Omega has ceased; its compatible successor is Aleph, which is itself also in major maintenance mode only. Ongoing projects developing Omega (and Aleph) ideas include Omega-2 and LuaTeX.
This package is a LaTeX adaptation of a set of tools developed for ConTeXt reproduction of Oliver Byrne's 1847 edition of the first six books of Euclid's Elements; see https://github.com/jemmybutton/byrne-euclid. It consists of a MetaPost library, responsible for all the drawing and a set of LaTeX macros to conveniently use them.
The package offers support for drawing tree diagrams, and is especially suitable for linguistics use. It allows trees to be specified in a simple bracket notation, automatically calculates branch sizes, and supports both DVI/PostScript and PDF output by use of pict2e facilities. The package is a development of the existing qobitree package, offering a new front end.
This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Inter Sans family of fonts, designed by Rasmus Andersson. Inter is a typeface specially designed for user interfaces with focus on high legibility of small-to-medium sized text on computer screens. The family features a tall x-height to aid in readability of mixed-case and lower-case text.
The udiss bundle is a LaTeX class file developed to assist students in typesetting their university dissertations. It is a collection of multiple support files. Universities often have strict requirements regarding the formatting of the dissertations and theses submitted to them. This bundle pre-supplies a generic style (university agnostic) for creating dissertations. It also supports custom layouts required for different universities.
This LaTeX package provides a lightweight phonetic transcription system inspired by XSAMPA. It translates modified XSAMPA sequences into proper IPA symbols, using either the tipa package (for pdfTeX users) or Unicode IPA symbols via xunicode (for XeTeX and LuaTeX users). The package was designed to simplify phonetic transcription in LaTeX by offering concise macros as a shortcut for multi-symbol sequences.
Clara is a type family created specially by Seamas O Brogain. The family includes italic, bold, bold italic, and small capitals, while the character set includes (monotonic) Greek, Cyrillic, ogham, phonetic and mathematical ranges, scribal abbreviations and other specialist characters. The fonts also include some OpenType features (such as ligature substitution, small capitals, and old-style numerals) and variant forms for particular languages.
This is a versatile bundle of packages and classes for consistent formatting of control sequences, package options, source code examples, and writing a package manual (including an index containing the explained control sequences, options, ldots). The bundle also provides several other small ideas of mine such as a mechanism for providing abbreviations etc. Not at least it provides a number of programming tools.
The purpose of the anima class is to create animated slide presentations. It uses TikZ to generate a sequence of frames with images that form an animation as the slides transition sequentially. Unlike the animate package, which can create embedded animations within the document, the anima class produces an animation where each frame corresponds to a page of the document.
This package offers the user an easy way to typeset the Holy Quran. It provides several macros for typesetting the whole or any part of the Quran based on its popular division, including Surah, Ayah, Juz, Hizb, Quarter, and Page. Besides the Arabic original, translations to English, German, French, and Persian are provided, as well as an English transliteration.
The package allows citations in the German style, which is considered by many to be particularly reader-friendly. The citation provides a small amount of bibliographic information in a footnote on the page where each citation is made. It combines a desire to eliminate unnecessary page-turning with the look-up efficiency afforded by numeric citations. The package makes use of BibLaTeX, and is considered experimental.
This package provides LaTeX classes for formatting federal grant proposals:
grant: base class for formatting grant proposals;
grant-arl: Army Research Laboratory;
grant-darpa: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency;
grant-doe: Department of Energy;
grant-nih: National Institutes of Health;
grant-nrl: Naval Research Laboratory;
grant-nsf: National Science Foundation;

The esint package permits access to alternate integral symbols when you are using the Computer Modern fonts. In the original set, several integral symbols are missing, such as \oiint. Many of these symbols are available in other font sets (pxfonts, txfonts, etc.), but there is no good solution if you want to use Computer Modern. The package provides Metafont source and LaTeX macro support.
upTeX is an extension of pTeX, using UTF-8 input and producing UTF-8 output. It was originally designed to improve support for Japanese, but is also useful for documents in Chinese and Korean. It can process Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Japanese, and Korean simultaneously, and can also process original LaTeX with \inputenc{utf8} and Babel (Latin/Cyrillic/Greek etc.) by switching its \kcatcode tables.
This package serves as a drop-in replacement for the packages ocgx by Paul Gaborit and ocg-p by Werner Moshammer for the creation of PDF Layers. It re-implements the functionality of the ocg, ocgx, and ocg-p packages and adds support for all known engines and back-ends. It also ensures compatibility with the media9 and animate packages.
The package provides a means of producing beautiful song books for church or fellowship. It offers:
a very easy chord-entry syntax;
multiple modes (words-only; words+chords; slides; handouts);
measure bars;
guitar tablatures;
automatic transposition;
scripture quotations;
multiple indexes (sorted by title, author, important lyrics, or scripture references);
and projector-style output generation, for interactive use.
This package prints two six-monthly vertical-type daily planner (i.e., months along the top, days downwards), with each 6-month period fitting onto a single A4 (or US letter) sheet. The package offers support for English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. The previous scheme of annual updates has now been abandoned, in favour of a Perl script yplan that generates a year's planner automatically.
