The diadia package allows you to keep a diabetes diary. Usually, this means keeping record of certain medical values like blood sugar, blood pressure, pulse or weight. It might also include other medical, pharmaceutical or nutritional data (HbA1c, insulin doses, carbohydrate units).
The diadia package supports all of this plus more --- simply by adding more columns to the data file! It is able to evaluate the data file and typesets formatted tables and derived plots. Furthermore, it supports medication charts and info boxes.
The package provides a PGF/TikZ-based mechanism for drawing linguistic (and other kinds of) trees. Its main features are: a packing algorithm which can produce very compact trees; a user-friendly interface consisting of the familiar bracket encoding of trees plus the key-value interface to option-setting; many tree-formatting options, with control over option values of individual nodes and mechanisms for their manipulation; the possibility to decorate the tree using the full power of PGF/TikZ; and an externalization mechanism sensitive to code-changes.
The schule bundle was built to provide packages and commands that could be useful for documents in German schools. At the moment, its main focus lies on documents for informatics as a school subject. An extension for physics is currently in progress.
For the time being, the whole package splits up into individual packages for informatics (including syntax diagrams, Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams, sequence diagrams, object diagrams, and class diagrams) as well as classes for written exams (tests, quizzes, teaching observations, information sheets, worksheets, and answer keys).
LuaTeX is an extended version of pdfTeX using Lua as an embedded scripting language. The LuaTeX project's main objective is to provide an open and configurable variant of TeX while at the same time offering downward compatibility. LuaTeX uses Unicode (as UTF-8) as its default input encoding, and is able to use modern (OpenType) fonts (for both text and mathematics). It should be noted that LuaTeX is still under development; its specification has been declared stable, but absolute stability may not in practice be assumed.
ps2eps produces Encapsulated PostScript Files (EPS/EPSF) from a one-page PostScript document, or any PostScript document. A correct bounding box is calculated for the EPS files and some PostScript command sequences that can produce erroneous results on printers are filtered. The input is cropped to include just the image contained in the PostScript file. The EPS files can then be included into TeX documents.
Included in the distribution is the bbox program, an application to produce bounding box values for Rawppm or Rawpbm format files.
SQLTeX is a pre-processor that enables the use of SQL statements in LaTeX. The SQLTeX Perl script reads an input file containing the LaTeX source with SQL commands, and writes a LaTeX file in which the SQL commands have been replaced by the values from their execution. It is possible to select a field for substitution in your LaTeX document, or to be used as input in another SQL command. The default is to use MySQL databases, but Pg, Sybase, Oracle, Ingres, mSQL and PostgreSQL are also supported.
Heiko Oberdiek's hobsub package (and hobsub-hyperref and hobsub-generic packages) defined a mechanism for concatenating multiple files into a single file for faster loading. The disadvantage is that it introduces hard dependencies between the source files that are included and complicates distribution and updates. It was principally used with hyperref but is not currently used in any standard packages in TeX Live. The packages are still distributed as simple stubs that reference the included packages via \RequirePackage rather than copying their source.
This LaTeX package allows quickly drawing quantum circuits. It bridges the gap between the two groups of packages that already exist: those that use a logic-oriented custom language, which is then translated into TeX by means of an external program; and the pure TeX versions that mainly provide some macros to allow for an easier input. yquant introduces a logic oriented language and thus brings the best of both worlds together. It builds on and interacts with TikZ, which brings an enormous flexibility for customization of individual circuit.
The package puts running, customizable thumb marks in the outer margin, moving downward as the chapter number (or whatever shall be marked by the thumb marks) increases. Additionally an overview page/table of thumb marks can be added automatically, which gives the names of the thumbed objects, the page where the object/thumb mark first appears, and the thumb mark itself at its correct position. The thumb marks are useful for large documents (such as reference guides, anthologies, etc.), where a quick and easy way to find (for example) a chapter is needed.
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.
This package provides tools to typeset monolingual Polish documents in LaTeX2e without Babel or Polyglossia. The package loads Polish hyphenation patterns, ensures that a font encoding suitable for Polish is used; in particular it enables Polish adaptation of Computer Modern fonts (the so-called PL fonts), provides translations of \today and names like Bibliography or Chapter, redefines math symbols according to Polish typographical tradition, provides macros for dashes according to Polish orthography, provides a historical input method for Polish characters, works with traditional TeX as well as with Unicode aware variants.
This package defines macros for third-person singular pronouns (\E, \Em, \Eir, \Eirs), which expand differently according to a masculine/feminine switch. (If the switch is masculine, they would expand to he, him, his and his; if feminine, they would expand to she, her, her and hers. Apart from the pronouns, one can define word pairs, such as mother/father, daughter/son, and so on. Gender may be defined once per document, as an environment, or may be flipped on the fly.
This package provides a converter from TeX and LaTeX to SGML-based formats such as (X)HTML, MathML, OpenDocument, and Docbook, providing a configurable (La)TeX-based authoring system for hypertext. TeX4ht does not independently parse (La)TeX source (so it avoids the difficulties encountered by many other converters, arising from the irregularity of (La)TeX syntax). Instead, TeX4ht uses (La)TeX itself (with myriad macro modifications) to produce a helper DVI file that it can then process. This technique allows TeX4ht to approach the robustness characteristic of restricted-syntax systems such as gellmu.
This package provides an elegant LaTeX template designed for crafting professional rebuttal letters in response to editors or reviewers. It consists of a LaTeX class and a template, fine-tuned to support your publishing journey with several pre-defined commands that drastically speed up the process of preparing letters during the revision process. The repository hosts a template for writing responses to editors/reviewers comments for journal submissions written in LaTeX that is minimalistic in one way while pre-defined with several commands that drastically speed up the process of preparing letters during the revision process.
The package provides an interface to embed interactive Flash (SWF) and 3D objects (Adobe U3D & PRC), as well as video and sound files or streams in the popular MP4, FLV and MP3 formats into PDF documents with Acrobat-9/X compatibility. Playback of multimedia files uses the built-in Flash Player of Adobe Reader and does, therefore, not depend on external plug-ins. Flash Player supports the efficient H.264 codec for video compression.
The package is based on the RichMedia Annotation, an Adobe addition to the PDF specification. It replaces the now obsolete movie15 package.
The LaTeX package gobble includes several gobble macros not included in the LaTeX kernel. These macros remove a number of arguments after them, a feature regularly used inside other macros. This includes gobble macros for optional arguments.
The LaTeX package gobble-user provides these macros at the user level, i.e. using names without @@ so that these can be used without \makeatletter and \makeatother. The same macros are provided inside .tex files for use with plain-TeX or other TeX formats. However, the gobble macros for optional macros require \@@ifnextchar to be defined.
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 beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides. The class works in both PostScript and direct PDF output modes, using the pgf graphics system for visual effects. Content is created in the frame environment, and each frame can be made up of a number of slides using a simple notation for specifying material to appear on each slide within a frame. Short versions of title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional parameters. Whole frame graphics are supported by plain frames. The class supports figure and table environments, transparency effects, varying slide transitions and animations.
The octavo class is a modification of the standard LaTeX book class. Its purpose is to typeset books following classical design and layout principles, with the express intention of encouraging the making of beautiful books by anyone with access to a good printer and with an inclination towards venerable crafts, e.g., bookbinding. The octavo class differs from the book class by implementing many of the proposals and insights of respected experts, especially Jan Tschichold and Hugh Williamson. The documentation discusses methods to organise and print out any text into signatures, which can then be gathered, folded and sewn into a book.
E-TeX provides 32 768 mark registers; using this facility is far more comfortable than LaTeX tricks with \markright, \markboth, \leftmark and \rightmark. The package provides two commands for marking: \marksthe and \marksthecs, which have starred forms which disable expansion; new mark registers are allocated as needed. Syntax is closely modelled on the \marks primitive. Four commands are provided for retrieving the marks registers content: \thefirstmarks, \thebotmarks, \thetopmarks and \getthemarks; and the command \ifmarksequal is available for comparing the content of marks registers. The package requires an e-TeX enabled engine, and the etex package.
This package is a small LaTeX package that adds a collection of simple macros for parentheses and bullets. It exists for one purpose only, to be loaded by documents which were originally typeset using the package SemanTeX, but which have been stripped of SemanTeX markup using the package stripsemantex which is part of SemanTeX. Therefore, unless your document is one of those, simply don't use this package. And even if your document is one of those, there is a good chance you will not have to load it after all. In most cases, you will be able to replace the macros it provides by macros from other packages.
The French TeX User Group GUTenberg has been publishing The GUTenberg Letter, its irregular newsletter, since February 1993. For this purpose, a dedicated, in-house (La)TeX class was gradually created but, depending on new needs and on the people who were publishing the Newsletter, its development was somewhat erratic; in particular, it would not have been possible to publish its code as it was. In addition, its documentation was non-existent. The Board of Directors of the association, elected in November 2020, wished to provide a better structured, more perennial and documented class, able to be published on the CTAN. This is now done with the present letgut class.
Kurier is a two-element sans-serif typeface. It was designed for a diploma in typeface design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Roman Tomaszewski. This distribution contains a significantly extended set of characters covering the following modern alphabets: latin (including Vietnamese), Cyrillic and Greek as well as a number of additional symbols (including mathematical symbols). The fonts are prepared in Type 1 and OpenType formats. For use with TeX the following encoding files have been prepared: T1 (ec), T2 (abc), and OT2--Cyrillic, T5 (Vietnamese), OT4, QX, texansi and--nonstandard (IL2 for the Czech fonts), as well as supporting macros and files defining fonts for LaTeX.
The package helps to automate a typical LaTeX workflow that involves running LaTeX several times, running tools such as BibTeX or makeindex, and so on. It will log requests like ``please rerun LaTeX'' or ``please run BibTeX on file X'' to an external XML file which lists all open tasks in a machine-readable format. Compiler scripts and integrated LaTeX editing environments may parse this file to determine the next steps in the workflow. In sum, the package will do two things: enable package authors to use LaTeX commands to issue requests, collect all requests from all packages and write them to an external XML file at the end of the document.
