This package provides some of macros for drawing simple lenses and mirrors for use in optical diagrams.

This package provides support for formatting SPIE Proceedings manuscripts. A class and a BibTeX style are provided.

These are Adobe Type 1 versions of the OT1-encoded and maths parts of the Computer Modern Bright fonts.

This package extends the doc package to cater for documenting non-LaTeX code, such as Metafont or MetaPost, or other programming languages.

This LaTeX document class has been designed to typeset exams.

Coolstr is a subpackage of the cool bundle that deals with the manipulation of strings. A string is defined as a sequence of characters (not tokens). The package provides the ability to access a specific character of a string, as well as determine if the string contains numeric or integer data.

The package allows the user to optimise presentation of LaTeX tables and figures. Boxhandler will lay out table and figure captions with a variety of stylistic apperances, and will also allow figures and tables to be wrapped in a manner consistent with many business and government documents. For a document that might appear in different venues with different formatting, boxhandler permits the creation of a LaTeX source document that can, with a single-line change in the source code, produce an output that has very different layout from the baseline configuration, not only in terms of caption style, but more importantly in terms of the locations where figures, tables and lists appear (or not) in the document. Deferral routines also allow one to keep all figure and table data in a separate source file, while nonetheless producing a document with figures and tables appearing in the desired location.

This package provides some commands (in French) to work with tables of Karnaugh, MPM graphs, and simple graphs.

This package generates pseudo-random integers. Macros are to provide random integers in a given range, or random dimensions, which can be used to provide random real numbers.

This package provides two utilities: chkdvifont, which check fonts in DVI/TFM/JFM/FONT files, and dvispc, which corrects the page-independence of DVI file using color specials or tpic specials, and transforms between a DVI file and a text file.

This is a Chinese translation of the Asymptote FAQ.

This is a LaTeX2ε package to help change the style of any or all of LaTeX's sectional headers in the article, book, or report classes. Examples include the addition of rules above or below a section title.

This package offers the command \DeclareFloatingEnvironment, which the user may use to define new floating environments which behave like the LaTeX standard foating environments figure and table.

The abc package lets you include lines of music written in the ABC Plus language. The package will then employ the \write18 facility to convert your notation to PostScript (using the established utility abcm2ps) and hence to the format needed for inclusion in your document.

pst-tree defines a macro \pstree that offers a structured way of joining nodes created using pst-node in order to draw trees.

The reason for the creation of the tasks environment was an unwritten agreement in German maths textbooks (especially (junior) high school textbooks) to organize exercises in columns counting horizontally rather than vertically. This is what the tasks package helps to achieve.

This is a package built for collaboratively editing LaTeX documents and tracking changes. Through highly configurable commands, the user can choose how their and their collaborators modifications appear in the document. Additional tools are provided to help keep track of where the edits are made within the PDF.

This citation-style covers the citation and bibliography rules of the University of Nottingham.

The main aim of this package is to work on lists, especially with random operations. The hidden aim is to build a personal collection of exercises with different data for each pupil.

The \boolexpr macro evaluates boolean expressions in a purely expandable way. \boolexpr{ A \OR B \AND C } expands to 0 if the logical expression is TRUE. A, B, C may be:

• numeric expressions such as: x=y, x<>y, x>y or x<y;

• boolean switches: \iftrue 0\else 1\fi;

• conditionals: \ifcsname whatsit\endcsname 0\else 1\fi;

• another \boolexpr: \boolexpr{ D \OR E \AND F }.

\boolexpr may be used with \ifcase.

The \switch command (which is also expandable) has the form: \switch \case{<boolean expression>} ... \case{<boolean expression>} ... ... \otherwise ... \endswitch.

The package checks for floats that are placed too far from their origin.

This package consists of LaTeX classes for preparing grant proposals to the National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan, that is: CM03 CM302 which support typesetting in both Chinese and English and are compatible with pdfLaTeX and XeTeX.

This package enables users to declare in their document which physical fonts should be used for the standard Japanese (logical) fonts of pLaTeX and upLaTeX. Font setup is realized by changing the font mapping of dvipdfmx, and thus users can use any (monospaced) physical fonts they like, once they properly install this package, without creating helper files for each new font. This package also supports setup for the fonts used in the japanese-otf package.
