The bundle offers minimal markup syntax for various simple kinds of text. The user will typically involve little more than is printed, and will still get LaTeX quality.The bundle provides four packages:

• wiki addresses general texts, marked up in the simple style used on Wikipedia;

• niceverb is yet another means of documenting LaTeX packages: it offers syntax-aware typesetting of meta-variables (macro arguments) and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section titles etc.;

• fifinddo aims to parse plain text or (La)TeX files using TeX, and to write the results to an external file;

• makedoc provides the means to produce typeset documentation direct from package files.

This package provides facilities for using key-value format in package options.

This package provides an environment to easily draw diagrams to represent communication protocols using message passing among processes. Processes are represented as horizontal or vertical lines, and communications as arrows between lines. The package also provides multiple macros to decorate those diagrams, for instance to annotate the diagram, to add crashes to the processes, checkpoints, ...

This LaTeX package uses TikZ to generate (Hasse) diagrams for causal sets (causets) to be used inline with text or in mathematical expressions. The macros can also be used in the tikzpicture environment to annotate or modify a diagram.

The sidecap package defines environments called SCfigure and SCtable (analogous to figure and table) to typeset captions sideways. Options include outercaption, innercaption, leftcaption and rightcaption.

The package specifies a Beamer theme for presenting a thesis.

The package adds reference-page-list to bibliography-items. It does its job without using the indexing facilities, and needs no special \cite-replacement package.

The package provides some custom environments (multiple choice, list with chosen items, ...) based on existing environments.

This package is intended for package writers. It defines macros for setting and maintaining new colour stacks.

The main goal of this package is to offer additional database fields and formats for the genealogytree package, particularly for typesetting large trees.

This package includes fonts for African languages. The fonts are provided as Metafont source, in the familiar arrangement of lots of preamble files and a modest set of glyph specifications.

This package provides a drop-in replacement for the Zapf Chancery font from Adobe's basic set.

The package provides means for retrieving properties of chemical elements like atomic number, element symbol, element name, electron distribution or isotope number. Properties are defined for the elements up to the atomic number 112.

The datetime2 package provides commands for formatting dates, times and time zones and redefines \today to use the same formatting style. In addition to \today, you can also use \DTMcurrenttime (current time) or \DTMnow (current date and time). Dates and times can be saved for later use. The accompanying datetime2-calc package can be used to convert date-times to UTC+00:00. Language and regional support is provided by independently maintained and installed modules. The datetime2-calc package uses the pgfcalendar package (part of the PGF/TikZ bundle). This package replaces datetime.sty, which is now obsolete.

This exam class is specially designed for mathematics teachers in China. Using BHCexam you can separate the format and the content very well; export both teacher paper and student paper; typeset multiple choice questions with 3-6 options keeping adaptively neat alignment; typeset cloze questions with a customizable underline; typeset questions with subquestions in lists; group questions in a list to control whether to show score, leave spacing, initialize question number; and more.

This package provides the H option for floats in LaTeX to signify that the environment is not really a float, and should therefore be placed here and not float at all. The package emulates an older package of the same name, which has long been suppressed by its author. The job is done by nothing more than loading the float package, which has long provided the option in an acceptable framework.

As an alternative to the LaTeX standard environments quotation and quote, the package provides a consolidated environment for displayed text. First-line indentation may be activated by adding a blank line before the quoting environment. A key-value interface (using kvoptions) allows the user to configure font properties and spacing and to control orphans within and after the environment.

The package provides some more extensible arrows (usable in the same way as \xleftarrow from amsmath), and a simple command to create new ones.

This single-function package enables authors to specify a global driver option (dvips, dvipdfmx, etc) which is applied only when the engine outputs a DVI file. It is useful to create special document- templates that can be compiled in both PDF-mode and DVI-mode.

This package permits drawing program charts in the style of the Scratch project. This package is obsolete. From now on, Scratch is now version 3 with a new design. Use the scratch3 package to draw blocks with the new design.

This package automatically creates tramlines (lines above and below a title used by lawyers in the UK and the Commonwealth).

This package provides the binaries for texlive-ps2eps.

This package provides a friendly interface for defining the meaning of Unicode characters. The document should be processed by (pdf)LaTeX with the Unicode option of inputenc or inputenx, or by XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX.

PSIZZL is a TeX format for physics papers written at SLAC and used at several other places. It dates from rather early in the development of TeX82; as a result, some of the descriptions of limitations look rather quaint to modern eyes.
