DVItoMP is one of the auxiliary programs available to any MetaPost package; it converts a DVI file into a MetaPost file. Using it, one can envisage including a DVI page into an EPS files generated by MetaPost. Such files allow pages to include other pages.

dvicopy is a utility program that allows one to take a DVI file that references composite fonts (VF) and convert it into a DVI file that does not contain such references. It also serves as a basis for writing DVI drivers (much like DVItype).

This class is designed to typeset laboratory journals that contain chronologically ordered records about experiments. From the sectioning commands, an experiment index is generated. The class is based on the KOMA-Script class scrbook.cls. There can be several index entries for one experiment.

The lgrmath package is a LaTeX package which sets the Greek letters in math mode to use glyphs from the LGR-encoded font of one's choice. The documentation includes a rather extensive list of the available font family names on typical LaTeX installations.

The TUDa-CI-Bundle provides a possibility to use the corporate design of TU Darmstadt in LaTeX. It contains document classes as well as some helper packages and config files together with some templates for user documentation, which currently are only available in German.

This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the GoSans and GoMono families of fonts designed by the Bigelow & Holmes foundry. GoSans is available in three weights: Regular, Medium, and Bold (with corresponding italics). GoMono is available in regular and bold, with italics.

The bundle provides the official macros (achemso.cls) and BibTeX styles (achemso.bst and biochem.bst) for submission to the journals of the American Chemical Society. The natmove package, which moves citations relative to punctuation, is distributed as part of the bundle.

This package provides a collection of tools and macros, providing: miscellaneous float control, page styles for floats, multipage tabulars, even columns at end of twocolumn region, switching between one- and two-column anywhere, simulating the effect of ``midfloats'', a package to manipulate numerical lists and arrays.

This package provides a bundle of utilities for manipulating PostScript documents, including page selection and rearrangement, resizing the page, arrangement into signatures for booklet printing, and page merging for N-up printing. Utilities include psbook, psselect, pstops, psnup, psresize, epsffit.

This package provides an extended version of the Japanese document class collection provided by jsclasses. While the original version supports only pLaTeX and upLaTeX, the extended version also supports pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX, with the aid of suitable packages that provide capability of Japanese typesetting.

This package provides the geradwp class, a class based on article and compatible with LaTeX. With this class, researchers at GERAD will be able to write their working paper while complying to all the presentation standards required by the Cahiers du GERAD series.

The XMP (eXtensible Metadata platform) is a framework to add metadata to digital material to enhance the workflow in publication. The essence is that the metadata is stored in an XML file, and this XML stream is then embedded in the file to which it applies.

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.

The calctab package helps the user to typeset a kind of economic table such as invoices, expense notes and liquidation, or other tabular material with a values column. The code computes sum and percentage with floating point numeric methods and builds the render table task.

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.

Amsrefs is a LaTeX package for bibliographies that provides an archival data format similar to the format of BibTeX database files, but adapted to make direct processing by LaTeX easier. The package can be used either in conjunction with BibTeX or as a replacement for BibTeX.

The original grffile package extended the file name processing of the graphics package to support a larger range of file names. The base LaTeX code now supports multiple dots and spaces, and this package by default is a stub that just loads graphicx.

METAOBJ is a large MetaPost package providing high-level objects. It implements many of PSTricks features for node connections, but also trees, matrices, and many other things. It more or less contains boxes.mp and rboxes.mp. It is easily extensible with new objects.

LaTeX sections have absolute depth, e.g., \section, \subsection, etc. When composing modular documents, we want relative depths. The coseoul package provides relative headings, but does not get things right when composing a document modularly from multiple parts. This package provides the missing piece.

ProjLib is a collection of tools to help you write LaTeX documents. With the main package ProjLib loaded, you no longer need to set up the theorem-like environments, nor to manually configure the appropriate multilingual settings. In addition, a series of auxiliary functionalities are introduced.

The package extends the ifthen package, providing extra predicates for the package's \ifthenelse command. The package is complementary to xifthen, in that they provide different facilities; the two may be loaded in the same document, as long as xifthen is loaded first.

The package provides the \multido command, which was originally designed for use with PSTricks. Fixed-point arithmetic is used when working on the loop variable, so that the package is equally applicable in graphics applications like PSTricks as it is with the more common integer loops.
