\shapepar is a macro to typeset paragraphs in a specific shape. The size is adjusted automatically so that the entire shape is filled with text. There may not be displayed maths or \vadjust material (no \vspace) in the argument of \shapepar. The macros work for both LaTeX and plain TeX.

\shapepar works in terms of user-defined shapes, though the package does provide some predefined shapes. The tedium of creating these polygon definitions may be alleviated by using the shapepatch extension to transfig which will convert xfig output to \shapepar polygon form.

Pst-text is a PSTricks based package for plotting text along a different path and manipulating characters. It includes the functionality of the old package pst-char.

The bundle provides UTF-8, Macintosh Greek encoding and ISO 8859-7 definition files for use with inputenc.

In 1994, with LaTeX2e, the old font commands \rm, \sf, \tt, \bf, \it, \sl, and \sc became obsolete. This package defines them, and also the deprecated KOMA-Script command \sfb.

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 Ximera document class provides macros that support the creation of both PDF and online materials.

ArabTeX will run with Plain TeX and also with LaTeX.

The package defines some node shapes useful for drawing TQFT diagrams with TikZ/PGF. That is, it defines highly customisable shapes that look like cobordisms between circles, such as those used in TQFT and other mathematical diagrams.

The LaTeX package cascade provides a command \Cascade to do constructions to present mathematical demonstrations with successive braces for the deductions.

This package contains an extension of TeXGyreSchola with extensive superiors, inferior figures, upright punctuation glyphs added to the Italic face for a theorem font, plus slanted and bold slanted faces. Math support is provided by one of two options to newtxmath, one of which uses an adaptation of the Fourier math Greek letters.

The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF and SVG animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or PGF/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text.

The package is a multilingual index processor with the following features:

• mostly compatible with makeindex and upper compatible with mendex;

• supports UTF-8 and works with upLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX;

• supports Latin (including non-English), Greek, Cyrillic, Korean Hangul and Chinese Han (Hanzi ideographs) scripts, as well as Japanese Kana.

The package combines a document's columns into a PDF ``article thread''. PDF readers that support this mechanism can be instructed to scroll automatically from column to column, which facilitates on-screen reading of two-column documents. Even for single-column documents, threadcol supports the creation of multiple article threads, which help organize discontiguous but logically related regions of text into a form that the user can scroll through as if its contents were contiguous.

The package harmony.sty helps typesetting harmony symbols for musicology.

This package offers macros that make the preparation of exercise sheets for teaching carbohydrate chemistry a lot less tedious. It uses chemfig for drawing the formulas. Different representation models (Fischer, Haworth, chair...) are supported as well as alpha, beta, and chain isomers.

The package produces screen/log messages of the form <current> INPUTTING <next> reporting LaTeX input commands (<current> and <next> being file names). The message is indented to reflect the level of input nesting. Tracing may be turned on and off, and the unit of indentation may be adjusted.
