This bundle contains the two packages svg and svg-extract.

The svg package is intended for the automated integration of SVG graphics into LaTeX documents. Therefore the capabilities provided by Inkscape --- or more precisely its command line tool --- are used to export the text within an SVG graphic to a separate file, which is then rendered by LaTeX. For this purpose the two commands \includesvg and \includeinkscape are provided which are very similar to the \includegraphics command of the graphicx package.

In addition, the package svg-extract allows the extraction of these graphics into independent files in different graphic formats, exactly as it is rendered within the LaTeX document, using either ImageMagick or Ghostscript.

TeXsis is a TeX macro package which provides useful features for typesetting research papers and related documents. For example, it includes support specifically for:

• automatic numbering of equations, figures, tables and references;

• simplified control of type sizes, line spacing, footnotes, running headlines and footlines, and tables of contents, figures and tables;

• specialized document formats for research papers, preprints and e-prints, conference proceedings, theses, books, referee reports, letters, and memoranda;

• simplified means of constructing an index for a book or thesis;

• easy to use double column formatting;

• specialized environments for lists, theorems and proofs, centered or non-justified text, and listing computer code;

• specialized macros for easily constructing ruled tables.

TeXsis was originally developed for physicists, but others may also find it useful. It is completely compatible with Plain TeX.

The package provides a simple interface to OpenStreetMap, and to Google Maps, map images. In the simplest case, it is sufficient to specify the address you need. The package loads the map image using an external Lua script (LaTeX must be running with \write 18 enabled). The Lua script may be used from the command line; a Bash version is provided.

Garamond Libre is an old-style font family. It is a true Garamond, i.e., it is based off the designs of 16th-century French engraver Claude Garamond (also spelled Garamont). The Roman design is Garamond's; the italics are from a design by Robert Granjon. The upright Greek font is after a design by Firmin Didot; the italic Greek font is after a design by Alexander Wilson. The font family includes support for Latin, Greek (monotonic and polytonic) and Cyrillic scripts, as well as small capitals, old-style figures, superior and inferior figures, historical ligatures, Byzantine musical symbols, the IPA and swash capitals.

The package helps to keep track of formal concepts for a specific field or document. This is particularly useful for scientific papers (for example, in physics, mathematics or computer science), which may introduce several concepts (with their own symbols). The package's commands allow the user to define a concept (typically, near its first use), and will ensure consistent use throughout the document.

The purpose of this package is to provide several layout styles for school documents. It is useful for exercise sheets, exams, course materials. The package sets the page geometry (dimensions of text and margins) and the title typesetting; the various styles define the header, footer and title formatting. Many features are freely configurable.

TeXdraw is a set of macro definitions for TeX, which allow the user to produce PostScript drawings from within TeX and LaTeX. TeXdraw has been designed to be extensible. Drawing segments are relocatable, self-contained units. Using a combination of TeX's grouping mechanism and the gsave/grestore mechanism in PostScript, drawing segments allow for local changes to the scaling and line parameters. Using TeX's macro definition capability, new drawing commands can be constructed from drawing segments.

The package provides commands to change the page layout in the middle of a document, and to robustly check for typesetting on odd or even pages. The package is an extraction of code from the memoir class, whose user interface it shares. This package will eventually replace the chngpage package, which is distributed with the package.

Xdoc is a project to rewrite the implementation of the LaTeX doc package (in a broader sense) to make its features more general and flexible. For example, where doc only provides commands for documenting macros and environments, xdoc also provides commands for similarly documenting package options and switches. This is furthermore done in such a way that it is very easy to add more such commands for documenting things, such as e.g., templates, and program components for other languages (functions, classes, procedures, etc.).

This package provides a class for generating disquisitions intended to be in compliance with North Dakota State University requirements. Updated (2022) North Dakota State University LaTeX thesis class features several functionalities, including not limited to, numbered and non-numbered versions, overall justification, document point sizes, fonts options, SI units, show frames, URL breaking, long tables, subfigures, multi-page figures, chapter styles, sub-files, algorithm listing, BibTeX and BibLaTeX support, individual chapter and whole document bibliography, natbib citations, and clever references.

This package provides some macros for the basic manipulation of comma-separated lists (adding, removing, counting, etc.).

The package offers support for the Calligra handwriting font, in LaTeX documents. The package is part of the fundus bundle.

The file hatching.mp contains a set of MetaPost macros for hatching interior of closed paths.

The use of formats helps to speed up compilations: packages which have been dumped in the format are loaded at very high speed. This is useful when a document loads many packages.

The package provides a class based on memoir to prepare theses and memoirs compliant with the presentation rules set forth by the Faculty of Graduate Studies of Universite Laval, Quebec, Canada. The class also comes with an extensive set of templates for the various types of theses and memoirs offered at Laval.

Please note that the documentation for the class and the comments in the templates are all written in French, the language of the target audience.

The package provides macros for drawing Chinese and Japanese abaci.

The package provides a kana parser for LuaTeX. It is a set of four macros that handle transliteration of text: from hiragana and katakana to Latin from Latin and katakana to hiragana from Latin and hiragana to katakana It can be used to write kana directly using only the ASCII character set or for education purposes. The package has support for obsolete and rarely used syllables, some only accessible via the provided toggle macro.

This package allows you to check whether a string is contained within another set of strings, and perform an action if it is not. This is done by using the allfalse environment and passing in a string and an action to be performed if the string is not contained in the set. Then, passing in a string to the \orcheck macro inside the respective allfalse environment adds that to the set of strings. This package does not work with the LuaTeX engine.

The package provides a simple means of producing greeting cards. It arranges four panels onto a single sheet so that when the sheet is folded twice the four panels are arranged as front cover, inside left and right pages, and back cover. The four panels are set in minipages for formatting by the user.

This package provides a TeX macro package for easy typesetting programs in Python, C and Pascal. Program source files may also be input.

The package extends the vowel package (distributed as part of the tipa bundle) by allowing the user to draw arrows between vowels to show relationships such as diphthong membership.

This LaTeX package implements a \SmartUnit macro for converting between (some) metric and Imperial units.

The package deals with EAN barcodes; Metafont sources for fonts are provided, and a set of examples; for some codes, a small Perl script is needed.

The bundle offers styles that allow authors to use BibLaTeX when preparing papers for submission to the journal Nature.
