This package provides an English translation of the l2tabu practical guide to LaTeX2e by Mark Trettin. It focuses on obsolete packages and commands.

This document class provides both Arabic and English support for TeX and LaTeX. Input may be in ASCII transliteration or other encodings (including UTF-8), and output may be Arabic, Hebrew, or any of several languages that use the Arabic script, as can be specified by the Polyglossia package. The Arabic font is presently available in any Arabic fonts style. In order to use Amiri font style, the user needs to install the amiri package. This document class runs with the XeTeX engine. PDF files generated using this class can be searched, and text can be copied from them and pasted elsewhere.

This is a package for annotating PDF slides with LaTeX elements, and for inserting code snippets.

This LaTeX package helps you make the build more fragile by turning warnings into errors. This may be a good practice if you care about the quality of your documents.

This package provides a set of m4 macros for drawing high-quality electric circuits containing fundamental elements, amplifiers, transistors, and basic logic gates to include in TeX, LaTeX, or similar documents. Some tools and examples for other types of diagrams are also included. The macros can be evaluated to drawing commands in the pic language, which contains elements of a simple programming language, and is well-suited to line drawings requiring parametric or conditional components, fine tuning, significant geometric calculations or repetition, or that are naturally block structured or tree structured. Alternative output macros can create TeX output to be read by PSTricks, TikZ commands for use by the PGF bundle, or SVG.

This package provides subfont numbers for DNP font encoding.

Tram boxes are highlighted with patterns of dots; the package defines an environment tram that typesets its content into a tram box. The pattern used may be selected in an optional argument to the environment.

The facsimile class provides a simple interface for creating a document for sending as a fax, with LaTeX. The class covers two areas. First, a title page is created with a detailed fax header; second, every page gets headers and footers so that the recipient can be sure that every page has been received and all pages are complete, and in the correct order. The class evolved from the fax package, and provides much better language support.

jTree uses PSTricks to enable linguists to typeset complex trees.

The bundle offers styles that allow authors to use BibLaTeX when preparing papers for submission to the journal Nature.

The package offers a template for MCM and ICM for typesetting the submitted paper.

This package offers low-level mplib integration for plain LuaTeX and is designed with the purpose of being easy to extend. The use of multiple simultaneous MetaPost instances is supported, as well as running TeX or lua code from within MetaPost. With the included minim-mp format file, you can even use LuaTeX as a stand-alone MetaPost compiler.

The package provides the files required to use the Rosario fonts with LaTeX. Rosario is a set of four fonts provided by Hector Gatti.

The package provides a XeLaTeX template for writing the main body of NSFC proposals, which are allowed to apply online. The package defines styles of the outlines and uses BibLaTeX and Biber for the management of references.

The package enables the user to draw (using PSTricks) the diffraction patterns for different geometric forms of apertures for monochromatic light. The aperture stops can have rectangular, circular or triangular openings. The view of the diffraction may be planar, or three-dimensional. Options available are the dimensions of the aperture under consideration and of the particular optical setting, e.g., the radius in case of an circular opening. Moreover one can choose the wavelength of the light (the associated color will be calculated by the package).

The hep-text package extends LaTeX lists using the enumitem package and provides some text macros.

This package provides a more condensed and flexible syntax for parenthesis-delimited expressions in math mode which also allows for an easier switching of brace sizes. For example, the syntax \big( a + b ) can be used to replace \bigl( a + b \bigr).

The makecookbook bundle contains the files needed to create a nice quality family cookbook in a form ready to submit to most print-on-demand companies. Modifiable choices have been made regarding standard book features such as trim size, margins, headers/footers, chapter heading formatting, front matter (copyright page, table of contents, etc.) and back matter (index). Commands and environments have been created to format the food stories and recipes. The user will need to: supply their own food stories and recipes(!), and install the needed fonts. We assume a LuaTeX compile.

Please note that no new document class or package is included here. Rather, we provide a modifiable preamble and a small number of other files that, together, fully support creation of all of the internal pages of a cookbook (i.e., everything except the cover art).

ctan_chk is a basic Gawk program that uses CTAN's published guidelines for authors to help eliminate sloppiness in uploaded files/projects. It is completely open for users to program additional guidelines as well as CTAN's future adjustments.

This package provides (re-)definitions of some LaTeX commands that can be useful for the preparation of papers with the style of the proceedings of symposia sponsored by the IAG published by Springer-Verlag.

The package allows the user to override existing labels (for example, those generated automatically).

This package allows nested endnotes, supports hyperref and provides means for easy customization of the list of notes.

The package provides a set of macros for constructing block diagrams, using TikZ.

The package provides commands to formalize textual variants in critical editions typeset using eledmac.
