This document is a short guide to using LaTeX2e to typeset high quality documents. It focuses on users of Windows and guides the reader through installation, some of LaTeX's conventions, and creating the front matter, body and end matter. The appendices contain a list of useful facilities not otherwise covered in this document and a list of helpful resources.

This package provides three hyperref-based macros that simplify usage of \hypertarget and \hyperlink, calling them with one argument instead of the same one twice. Also \gmiflink and \gmifref typeset plain text instead of generating an error or printing ?? if there is no respective hypertarget or label.

m-pictex.sty was a wrapper for a ConTeXt module making picTeX more easily usable in classic TeX with no e-TeX extensions. It is here adjusted to be a stub loading pictex.sty. This has not been needed in LaTeX or ConTeXt for decades, but old documents may be using this name.

The bundle comprises: authblk, which permits footnote style author/affiliation input in the \author command, balance, to balance the end of \twocolumn pages, figcaps, to send figure captions, etc., to end document, fullpage, to set narrow page margins and set a fixed page style, and sublabel, which permits counters to be subnumbered.

The makedtx bundle is provided to help LaTeX2e developers to write the code and documentation in separate files, and then combine them into a single .dtx file for distribution. It automatically generates the character table, and also writes the associated installation (.ins) script.

This package provides converted (Adobe Type 1) outlines of the wasy fonts.

The package defines a command \ebook that defines page layout, fonts, and font-sizes for documents to be rendered as PDF-ebooks on small ebook-readers.

The National Conference of Scientific Students Associations (OTDK) of Hungary is a scientific event for Bachelor and Master students in the country, where students compete with their research papers in all field of science. The conference/competition has two rounds: a university level and a country level (for the best papers). This class template enforces the required formatting rules for TDK theses and generates the cover and title page given on the provided metadata. The formatting rules are defined to meet the requirements for TDK theses submitted at the Eotvos Lorand University, Faculty of Informatics (Budapest, Hungary). This also fits the formatting requirements of the Computer Science Section of the country level round. With sufficient modifications the template could be usable for TDK theses at other national and faculty level sections, too. The template supports producing both Hungarian and English theses.

This package provides a collection of visually appealing, structured callout boxes for LaTeX documents. These boxes are useful for highlighting important information such as warnings, errors, notes, and success messages.

LaTeX tables are implemented using TeX commands such as \halign, \noalign, \span, and \omit. In order to implement new features, many macro packages have modified the inner table commands inside LaTeX. This makes package code complicated, difficult to maintain, and often conflicts with each other. At present, the LaTeX3 programming layer is basically mature. This tabularray package will discard the old \halign commands and directly use LaTeX3 functions to parse the table, and then typeset the entire table. Under the premise of being compatible with the basic syntax of LaTeX2 tables, this macro package will completely separate the content and style of the table, and the style of the table can be completely set in keyval way.

The l3build module is designed to support the development of high-quality LaTeX code by providing: a unit testing system, automated typesetting of code sources, and a reliable packaging system for CTAN releases. The bundle consists of a Lua script to run the tasks and a .tex file which provides the testing environment.

The package provides commands that give a well-spaced ellipsis after !, ?, !? or ?!.

This package defines several useful environments for a beautiful printable semester plan. It includes a timetable (which is using the schedule-Package) as well as appointments, deadlines, and exams.

The package contains a number of PostScript fonts derived from the STIX OpenType fonts that may be used in maths mode in regular and bold weights for Calligraphic, Fraktur and Double-struck alphabets. Virtual fonts with metrics suitable for maths mode are provided, as are LaTeX support files.

This LaTeX package permits quickly typesetting board states of Puyo Puyo games. It supports large and small boards with arbitrary shape, hidden rows, current and next puyos, labels and move planning markers.

This package provides a report and thesis class file for The School of Mathematics, Scotland at the University of Edinburgh (UoE). When working on a report or thesis, an easy way to implement the University's typesetting rules in LaTeX is provided by edmaths.sty. It sets the page margins as required and defines commands to create the correct cover page and standard declaration.

The package provides two commands: \dotlessi and \dotlessj, which give access to dotless i and j in math mode. They are intended for symbols in non English languages.

This package provides a set of high-quality icons for use in notes for tabletop role-playing games. The icons are meant to be used in the body text, but they can also be used in other contexts such as graphics or diagrams. The package comes in two variants, one based on the l3draw package, and the other on PGF/TikZ.

BibArts is a LaTeX package to assist in making bibliographical features common in the arts and the humanities (history, political science, philosophy, etc.). bibarts.sty provides commands for quotations, abbreviations, and especially for a formatted citation of literature, journals (periodicals), edited sources, and archive sources.

It will also copy all citation information, abbreviations, and register key words into lists for an automatically generated appendix. These lists may refer to page and footnote numbers. BibArts has nothing to do with BibTeX. The lists are created by bibsort. This program creates the bibliography without using MakeIndex or BibTeX.

The package handles CSV data merging for automatic document creation.

The script extracts the preamble of the document and runs all \begin{postscript}...\end{postscript}, \begin{pspicture}...\end{pspicture} and \pspicture...\endpspicture separately through LaTeX with the same preamble as the original document; thus it creates EPS, PNG and PDF files of these snippets. In a final pdfLaTeX run the script replaces the environments with \includegraphics to include the processed snippets.

This package provides \VerbatimCopy{in}{out} that will enable LaTeX to take a verbatim copy of one text file, and save it under another name. The package provides a means to specify the output directory to be used, but does no checking and may therefore overwrite an important file if used injudiciously.

This package was developed as a typographers toolbox offering important basic features for everyday work. It allows setting the paper size and the page layout; it can print crop marks; and it can reflect pages both horizontally and vertically.

This package provides files needed for converting DVI files to PostScript.
