The package can help you typeset exams (mostly in mathematics and related disciplines where students are required to show their calculations followed by one or more short answers). It provides commands for inclusion of space for calculations, as well as commands for automatic creation of answer spaces. In addition, the package will automatically create page headers and footers, and will let you include instructions and space for students to put their name.

The package provides a file list (similar to that offered by \listfiles), neatly laid out as a table. The main document can be included in the list, and a command is available for providing RCS-maintained data for printing in the file list.

The l3kernel bundle provides an implementation of the LaTeX3 programmers interface, as a set of packages that run under LaTeX2e. The interface provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other future code are built: it is an API for TeX programmers. The packages are set up so that the LaTeX3 conventions can be used with regular LaTeX2e packages.

The package provides useful macros implementing recommendations by the French Imprimerie Nationale.

This LaTeX package helps you create slide decks looking like those created with PowerPoint, but more precise, uniform, and visually strict.

The fonts are converted from METAFONT sources of the Computer Modern font families, using textrace. Supported encodings are: T1 (Latin), T2A (Cyrillic), LGR (Greek) and TS1. The package also includes Unicode virtual fonts for use with Omega. The font set is not a replacement for any of the other Computer Modern-based font sets (for example, cm-super for Latin and Cyrillic, or cbgreek for Greek), since it is available at a single size only; it offers a compact set for general working. The fonts themselves are encoded to external standards, and virtual fonts are provided for use with TeX.

The package allows the user to construct tables in a manner similar to a spreadsheet. The cells of a table have row and column indices and these can be used in formulas to generate values in other cells.

The package deals with the behaviour of the LaTeX internal command \@ifnextchar, which skips blank spaces. This has the potential to surprise users, since it can produce really unwanted effects. A common example occurs with brackets starting a line following \\: the command looks for an optional argument, whereas the user wants the brackets to be printed. The package offers commands and options for modifying this behaviour, maybe limited to certain parts of the document source.

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.

The bundle offers two styles --- philosophy-classic and philosophy-modern --- that facilitate the production of two different kinds of bibliography, based on the author-year style, with options and features to manage the information about the translation of foreign texts or their reprints. Though the package's default settings are based on the conventions used in Italian publications, these styles can be used with every language recognized by Babel, possibly with some simple redefinitions.

This package consists of prerex.sty, a LaTeX package for producing charts of course nodes linked by arrows representing pre- and co-requisites, and prerex, an interactive program for creating and editing chart descriptions. The implementation of prerex.sty uses PGF, so that it may be used equally happily with LaTeX or PDFLaTeX; prerex itself is written in C. The package includes source code for a previewer application, a lightweight Qt-4 and Poppler-based prerex-enabled PDF viewer.

This package concerns mathematical drawings arising in representation theory. The purpose of this package is to ease drawing of rank 2 root systems, with Weyl chambers, weight lattices, and parabolic subgroups.

This package provides a shell script that calls XeTeX and pdf2svg to convert TikZ environments to SVG files.

This package provides classes jsarticle and jsbook, together with packages okumacro and okuverb. These classes are designed to work under ASCII Corporation's Japanese TeX system pTeX.

This collection provides support for Arabic and Persian.

Iwona is a two-element sans-serif typeface. It was created as an alternative version of the Kurier typeface, which was designed in 1975 for a diploma in typeface design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Roman Tomaszewski. Kurier was designed for linotype typesetting of newspapers and similar periodicals. The Iwona fonts are an alternative version of the Kurier fonts. The difference lies in the absence of ink traps which typify the Kurier font.

PyLuaTeX allows you to execute Python code and to include the resulting output in your LaTeX documents in a single compilation run. LaTeX documents must be compiled with LuaLaTeX for this to work. PyLuaTeX runs a Python InteractiveInterpreter (actually several if you use different sessions) in the background for on-the-fly code execution. Python code from your LaTeX file is sent to the background interpreter through a TCP socket. This approach allows your Python code to be executed and the output to be integrated in your LaTeX file in a single compilation run.

The package offers a collection of macros for MetaPost to make easier to draw finite-state machines, automata, labelled graphs, etc. The user defines nodes, which may be isolated or arranged into matrices or trees; edges connect pairs of nodes through arbitrary paths. Parameters, that specify the shapes of nodes and the styles of edges, may be adjusted.

This package provides tools to simplify using OpenType fonts with LaTeX. By far the most important program in this bundle is autoinst, a wrapper script around Eddie Kohler's LCDF TypeTools. Autoinst aims to automate the installation of OpenType fonts in LaTeX by calling the LCDF TypeTools (with the correct options) for all fonts you wish to install, and generating the necessary .fd and .sty files.

In addition, this bundle contains a few other, less important utilities:

• afm2afm: re-encodes .afm files,

• ot2kpx: extract kerning pairs from OpenType fonts,

• splitttc: split an OpenType Collection file (ttc or otc) into individual fonts.

The float package improves the interface for defining floating objects such as figures and tables. It introduces the boxed float, the ruled float and the plaintop float. You can define your own floats and improve the behaviour of the old ones. The package also provides the H float modifier option of the obsolete here package.

The crop.cfg file attempts to persuade crop.sty to work with XeTeX.

The package provides a means of producing a book of font samples (for evaluation, etc.).

The package provides fonts (both as Adobe Type 1 format, and as Metafont source) for the AR symbol (for Aspect Ratio) used by aeronautical scientists and engineers. Note that the package supersedes the package ar.

The package provides functionality for processing lists and array structures in LaTeX. Arrays can contain characters as well as TeX and LaTeX commands, nesting of arrays is possible, and arrays are processed within the same brace level as their surrounding environment. Array levels can be delimited by characters or control sequences defined by the user. Practical uses of this package include data management, construction of lists and tables, and calculations based on the contents of lists and arrays.
