The package lets you change page layout parameters in small steps over a range of values using options. It can set \textwidth appropriately for the main fount, and ensure that the text fits inside the printable area of a printer. An rmpage-formatted document can be typeset identically without rmpage after a single cut and paste operation. Local configuration can set defaults: for all documents; and by class, by printer, and by paper size. The geometry package is better if you want to set page layout parameters to particular measurements.

Mfpic is a scheme for producing pictures from (La)TeX commands. Commands \mfpic and \endmfpic (in LaTeX, the mfpic environment) enclose a group in which drawing commands may be placed. The commands generate a Meta-language file, which may be processed by MetaPost (or even Metafont). The resulting image file will be read back in to the document to place the picture at the point where the original (La)TeX commands appeared.

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

The package provides plotting of data (typically from external files), using PSTricks. Plots may be configured using a wide variety of parameters.

The svn package lets you typeset (in LaTeX) the value of Subversion keywords. It is approximately an equivalent to the rcs package, but for Subversion rather than CVS.

Accanthis No.: 3, designed by Hirwin Harendal, is suitable as an alternative to fonts such as Garamond, Galliard, Horley old style, Sabon, and Bembo. The package provides support files for use with all LaTeX engines.

The package provides macros that collect the content of a tabular cell, and offer them as an argument to a macro. Special care is taken to remove all aligning macros inserted by tabular from the cell content. The macros also work in the last column of a table, but do not support verbatim material inside the cells.

The package enables the user to typeset exams with multiple choice, open questions and many other types of exercise. Both questions and answers may be randomly distributed within the exam, and the solutions are typeset automatically. Exercises may contain a wide number of random parameters and it is possible to do arithmetical operations on them. The package is localised in Italian, English, French, German, Greek, Serbian, and Spanish.

The package enables the user to draw pulley systems with up to 6 pulleys. The pulley diagrams are labelled with the physical properties of the system.

This package provides two macros for drawing chord diagrams, as may be found for example in chord charts/books and educational materials. They are composed as TikZ pictures and have several options to modify their appearance.

This is a re-implementation, for LaTeX, of the original Harvard package. The bundle contains the LaTeX package, several BibTeX styles, and a Perl package for use with LaTeX2HTML.

Harvard is an author-year citation style (all but the first author are suppressed in second and subsequent citations of the same entry); the package defines several variant styles: apsr.bst for the American Political Science Review; agsm.bst for Australian government publications; dcu.bst from the Design Computing Unit of the University of Sydney; kluwer.bst, which aims at the format preferred in Kluwer publications; nederlands.bst which deals with sorting Dutch names with prefixes (such as van) according to Dutch rules, together with several styles whose authors offer no description of their behaviour.

The alphanumeric string that forms the Italian personal Fiscal Code is prone to be misspelled thus rendering a legal document invalid. The package quickly verifies the consistency of the fiscal code string, and can therefore be useful for lawyers and accountants that use fiscal codes very frequently.

MetaUML is a MetaPost library for typesetting UML diagrams, which provides a usable, human-friendly textual notation for UML, offering now support for class, package, activity, state, and use case diagrams.

This small utility, written in SNOBOL, converts the composition of special characters to Unicode.

This package provides the binaries for texlive-tex4ht.

The package provides MetaPost code to create all possible symmetrical views (up to rotation) of a right-handed die.

The package provides a Perl script that allows the uploads of a contribution to CTAN from the command line. The aim is to simplify the release process for LaTeX package authors. Note by the CTAN team (2015-02-05): It seems that this script is currently not working.

This package provides a japanese option for the Babel package. It defines all the language definition macros in Japanese. Currently this package works with pLaTeX, upLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX.

The package provides a simple means of drawing Wick contractions above and below expressions.

This is a LaTeX package for creating CJK character calligraphy practicing sheets (copybooks). Currently, only XeTeX is supported.

This package provides supports the old German orthography (alte deutsche Rechtschreibung).

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.

The package provides the command \tablefootnote to be used in a table or sidewaystable environment, where \footnote will not work (and when using \footnotemark and \footnotetext, and adjusting the counter as necessary, is too much work).

The package contains OCR-B fonts in Type1 and OpenType formats.
