TeXplate is a tool for creating document structures based on templates. The application name is a word play on TeX and template, so the purpose seems quite obvious: we want to provide an easy and straightforward framework for reducing the typical code boilerplate when writing TeX documents. Also note that one can easily extrapolate the use beyond articles and theses: the application is powerful enough to generate any text-based structure, given that a corresponding template exists.

The lettrine package supports various dropped capitals styles, typically those described in the French typographic books. In particular, it has facilities for the paragraph text's left edge to follow the outline of capitals that have a regular shape (such as A and V).

The package shows the hyphenation points in the document by either inserting small triangles below the baseline or by typesetting explicit hyphens. The markers are correctly placed even within ligatures and their size adjusts to the font size. By option the markers can be placed behind or in front of the glyphs. The package requires LuaLaTeX.

This class produces a standard US commercial invoice using data from a CSV file. Invoices can span multiple pages. The class is configurable for different shipping addresses.

The package provides a language description file that enables support of Friulan either with Babel or with Polyglossia.

This exam class is specially designed for mathematics teachers in China. Using BHCexam you can separate the format and the content very well; export both teacher paper and student paper; typeset multiple choice questions with 3-6 options keeping adaptively neat alignment; typeset cloze questions with a customizable underline; typeset questions with subquestions in lists; group questions in a list to control whether to show score, leave spacing, initialize question number; and more.

The package pst-pdf simplifies the use of graphics from PSTricks and other PostScript code in PDF documents. As in building a bibliography with BibTeX, additional external programmes are invoked. In this case they are used to create a PDF file that will contain all the graphics material. In the final document these contents will be inserted instead of the original PostScript code.

BibTool manipulates BibTeX files. The possibilities of BibTool include sorting and merging of BibTeX databases, generation of uniform reference keys, and selecting references used in a publication.

This module provides the russian style that can be set using \DTMsetstyle provided by datetime2.sty. This package is currently unmaintained.

The setspace package provides support for setting the spacing between lines in a document. Package options include singlespacing, onehalfspacing, and doublespacing. Alternatively the spacing can be changed as required with the \singlespacing, \onehalfspacing, and \doublespacing commands. Other size spacings also available.

This package provides an extended version of the Japanese document class collection provided by jsclasses. While the original version supports only pLaTeX and upLaTeX, the extended version also supports pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX, with the aid of suitable packages that provide capability of Japanese typesetting.

This bundle introduces explcheck, a static analysis tool for developers working with expl3 code. Currently in its initial release, explcheck aims to help developers identify potential issues and improve code quality. In the future, this bundle may expand to include additional development tools for expl3.

The TeX-GYRE bundle consist of multiple font families:

• Adventor, based on the URW Gothic L family of fonts;

• Bonum, based on the URW Bookman L family;

• Chorus, based on URW Chancery L Medium Italic;

• Cursor, based on URW Nimbus Mono L;

• Heros, based on URW Nimbus Sans L;

• Pagella, based on URW Palladio L;

• Schola, based on the URW Century Schoolbook L family;

• Termes, based on the URW Nimbus Roman No9 L family of fonts.

The constituent standard faces of each family have been greatly extended (though Chorus omits Greek support and has no small-caps family). Each family is available in Adobe Type 1 and Open Type formats, and LaTeX support (for use with a variety of encodings) is provided.

Luaindex provides (yet another) index processor, written in Lua.

This package simplifies creation of new documents for the (average) Croatian user. As an example, a class file hrdipl.cls (designed for the graduation thesis at the University of Zagreb) and sample thesis documents are included.

Like its namesake from the Emacs world, this cross-format package implements a generic framework for extending the functionality of selected commands and environments.

This package consists of a Lua program as well as a (Lua)LaTeX .sty file. Given a smooth function, bezierplot returns a smooth Bezier path written in TikZ notation, which also matches MetaPost, that approximates the graph of the function. For polynomial functions of degree lesser or equal to 3 and their inverses the approximation is exact (up to numeric precision). bezierplot also finds special points such as extreme points and inflection points and reduces the number of used points.

This module provides the german style that can be set using \DTMsetstyle provided by datetime2.sty.

If you are using git to control versions of LaTeX files, you may want to show yourself or other users or devs the current version of the file, information about the author and last edited date. All packages for Git known make that kind of information available for the whole repository. But sometimes you have a lot of files within the same repository in different versions, from different authors etc. Perhaps you also split up a big project in small files and want to show within the document who had edited what. This package gives you the opportunity to do so.

Initally a logbook for me, a person with type one diabetes mellitus, this evolved over time into a TeX project, making it prettier and easier to use. I've made it simple to use, while not forgoing the document's beauty or the speed of input. The logbook, with slight commenting out and editing, could be used as a journal by anybody, although the template and graphing functionality are set up for people using insulin injections and blood glucose teststrips, as well as counting/estimating carbs, protein, and fat.

The package offers facilities for adding a columns of numbering to the general text so that the text can be properly referenced. The vertical ruler can be scaled and moved freely.

The package provides a shaded backdrop to a box of text. It uses a Metafont font (provided) which generates to appropriate shading dependent on the resolution used in the Metafont printer parameters.

factura is a LaTeX class for typesetting and calculating invoices, taking into account requirements of SENIAT legislation (tax collector entity on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela). However, its use is not restricted to Venezuela because all variables and the displayed text can be redefined by invoking commands or editing.

The package provides macros that help to build a document repository for long living documents. It focuses on structure and re-use of text, code, figures etc. The basic concept is first to separate structure from content (i.e., text about a topic from the structure it is presented by) and then separating the content from the actual published document, thus enabling easy re-use of text blocks in different publications (i.e., text about a protocol in a short article about this protocol as well as in a book about many protocols); all without constantly copying or changing text. As a side effect, using the document classes provided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from someone who just wants to write articles and books.
