When typesetting forms there often arises the need for defining fields which consist of one or more lines where the customer can write something down manually. This package offers some commands for defining such fields in a distinctive way.

This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Spectral family of fonts, designed by Jean-Baptiste Levee. Spectral is a new and versatile serif face available in seven weights of roman and italic, with small caps.

This package is for drawing existential graphs invented and developed by philosopher and polymath Charles Peirce. It also contains new and unique symbols for several types of linear logical operators Peirce invented and used in his larger logical system.

The package provides macros for command definition that save the name of the command being defined in a file or a macro container. The list could be useful for spelling exceptions in text editors that do not support TeX syntax.

This is a collection of TikZ libraries which add further options to fill TikZ paths with images and patterns. The libraries comprise fillings with images from files and from TikZ pictures. Also, patterns of hexagons and of rhombi are provided.

The bundle simplifies and automates conversion of document fragments into external EPS or PDF files. The bundle consists of two parts: a LaTeX package that implements a document level interface, and a command line tool that generates the external graphics.

The package builds on the standard LaTeX packages graphics and allows external LaTeX source files to be included, in the same way as graphic files, by \includegraphics. In effect, then package adds support for the .tex extension.

This package puts text below the normal page content (the default text marks the document as draft and puts a timestamp on it). It Can be used together with e.g., the vrsion, rcs and rcsinfo packages.

This package creates another table of contents with a different depth, useful in large documents where a detailed table of contents should be accompanied by a shorter one, giving only a general overview of the main topics in the document.

The stdclsdv package is designed for package writers who need to know what sectioning divisions are provided by the document's class. It also provides a version of \CheckCommand that sets a flag rather than printing a warning.

This package provides a legacy package for creating windows in paragraphs, for inserting graphics, etc. Users should note that Pieter van Oostrum (in a published review of packages of this sort) does not recommend this package; Picins is recommended instead.

This package allows you to create lists of numbered items with a single active character as the only command. A variety of parameters are available to configure the appearance of the list; lists may be nested (effectively to unlimited depth).

The package provides a set of macros for in-line linguistic examples (as opposed to interlinear glossing, set apart from the main text). It prevents hyphenated examples from breaking across lines and consistently formats phonemic examples, orthographic examples, and more.

MLModern is a text and math font family with (La)TeX support, based on the design of Donald Knuth's Computer Modern and the Latin Modern project. It avoids the spindliness of most other Type 1 versions of Computer Modern.

This package defines commands to display counters spelled out in Portuguese. Options are offered to select variations in the spelling of 14, or Brazilian vs. European Portuguese forms in the spelling of 16, 17, and 19.

The package facilitates the use of stealth prefixes for counter names in order to help distinguish between counters from multiple input files. The package also provides a means to generate random counters and save such counter values for future typesetting.

This package provides a comprehensive template designed to meet the formatting requirements of the University of Alberta for MSc and PhD theses. It provides a structured and customizable framework that ensures compliance with university guidelines while allowing flexibility in document formatting.

This package provides a family of modifications of the standard BibTeX styles whose behaviour may be changed by changing the user document, without change to the styles themselves. The package is largely used nowadays in its adaptation for working with Babel.

When writing programs, it's often required to present the user with a list of options or actions. The user is then expected to select one of these options for the program to process. termmenu provides this mechanism for TeX.

This experimental package can read and parse text tables delimited by user-defined tokens (e.g., Tab). It can be used for serial letters and the like, making it easier to export the data file from MS-Excel/MS-Word

Knuth's original Punk fonts generated different shapes at random. This isn't actually possible in an OpenType font; rather, the font contains several variants of each glyph, and uses the OpenType randomize function to select a variant for each invocation.

This package provides a \gatheritems command to parse a list of data separated by \item tokens. This makes it easier to define custom environments which structure their data in the same way that itemize or enumerate do.

The package is intended for commented editions. An example of commented edition is a teacher's book based on a student's textbook. Each page of a teacher's book is a page from the textbook and comments for the teacher.

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.
