The package finds strings (e.g., parts of words or phrases) and manipulates them, thus turning each word or phrase into a possible command. It is written in plain XeTeX and should thus work with any format. The main application for the moment is XeIndex, an automatic index for XeLaTeX, but examples are given of simple use to check spelling, count words, and highlight syntax of programming languages.

epsf-dvipdfmx.tex is a plain TeX file to be \input after epsf.tex when using plain TeX with dvipdfmx. It is needed when an .eps file has anything except the origin for the lower-left of its bounding box.

This module provides a possibility to place collating marks on the spines of sections when using imposition. Placing collating marks is a method to make the correct sequence of sections of a book block visible.

This collection of tools includes: atsupport for short commands starting with @, macros to sanitize the OT1 encoding of the cmtt fonts; a doafter command; improved footnote support; mathenv for various alignment in maths; list handling; mdwmath which adds some minor changes to LaTeX maths; a rewrite of LaTeX's tabular and array environments; verbatim handling; and syntax diagrams.

The package chemstyle provides an extensible system for formatting chemistry documents according to the conventions of a number of leading journals. It also provides some handy chemistry-related macros.

The package is used to typeset the German chess magazine Die Schwalbe. It is based on chess-problem-diagrams, which in its turn has a dependency on the bartel-chess-fonts.

Unmodified TeX has very few ways of preventing widows and orphans. In documents with figures, section headings, and equations, TeX can stretch the vertical glue between items in order to prevent widows and orphans, but many documents have no figures or headings. TeX can also shorten the page by 1 line, but this will give each page a different length which can make a document look uneven. The typical solution is to strategically insert \looseness=1, but this requires manual editing every time that the document is edited. Lua-widow-control is essentially an automation of the \looseness method: it uses Lua callbacks to find stretchy paragraphs, then it lengthens them to remove widows and orphans. Lua-widow-control is compatible with all LuaTeX and LuaMetaTeX-based formats.

AMS-TeX is a TeX macro package based on Plain TeX: it provides many features for producing more professional-looking maths formulas with less burden on authors.

This is the final archival distribution of AMS-TeX. AMS-TeX is no longer supported by the AMS, nor is it used by the AMS publishing program. The AMS does not recommend creating any new documents using AMS-TeX; this distribution will be left on CTAN to facilitate processing of legacy documents and as a historical record of a pioneering TeX macro collection that played a key role in popularizing TeX and revolutionizing mathematics publishing. AMS-TeX is the historical basis of amslatex, which should now be used to prepare submissions for the AMS.

This bundle provides fonts to go with the cjk macro package for Chinese, Japanese and Korean with LaTeX2e. The package aims to supersede HLaTeX fonts bundle.

The package provides commands to define enumerable items with a number and a long name, which can be referenced later with the name or just the short form. For instance, Milestone M1: Specification created can be defined and later on be referenced with M1 or M1 ("Specification created"). The text in the references is derived from the definition and also rendered as hyperlink to the definition.

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 package provides a facility to typeset certain logic formulae. It provides an environment like eqnarray, a newtheorem-like environment (NewTheorem), and several macros.

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.

The package provides a selection of new maths commands and improved re-definitions of existing commands.

The package provides BibLaTeX support for citations in the format specified by the MLA handbook.

This LaTeX package permits to create quizzes in the style of the TV shows Qui veut gagner des millions ? (i.e., Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?) or Tout le monde veut prendre sa place !.

The package extends draftmark and the watermark packages. It is currently unmaintained and does not work with modern LaTeX releases.

This package provides a package to typeset syntactic trees such as those used in Chomsky's generative grammar, based on a description of the structure of the tree.

This is a collection of different packages that provide key=value functionality in plainTeX, LaTeX, and ConTeXt.

At the core, the expkv package implements two expandable key=value parsers that are somewhat fast and robust against common bugs in many key=value implementations (no accidental brace stripping, no fragility for active commas or equals signs).

expkv-cs enables users to define expandable key=value macros in a comfortable and straightforward way.

expkv-def provides an interface to define common key types for expkv similar to the key defining interfaces of widespread key=value implementations.

expkv-opt allows parsing package or class options in LaTeX via expkv.

expkv-pop is a utility package to define prefix oriented parsers that allow a somewhat natural formulation.

In TeX Live, ConTeXt MkII is split from current ConTeXt (MkIV and newer).

The package provides a collection of tools, which are helpful for the creation of a LaTeX template if conditional paths for code execution are required. All the commands work both in the preamble and in the document.

This package uses the Lua library LPEG to typeset and highlight Python listings.

This package provides the Estonian language module for the glossaries package.

This package implements a variant of tabular-like environments where columns can be given a name and entries can flexibly be placed between arbitrary columns. Complex alignment-based layouts, for example for program code, are possible.
