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 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 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.

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.

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 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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The package enables the user to typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX; the source code is read directly by TeX---no front-end processor is needed. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles. Support for hyperref is provided.

The command-line programs pdfopen and pdfclose allow you to control the X Window System version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader from the command line or from within a (shell) script. The programs work with xpdf and evince.

The command \simplechapter sets up the \chapter command not to number chapters, though they may possibly have a prefix, and a suffix (the \simplechapterdelim command, which the user may alter). The \restorechapter command restores the status quo ante.

The package provides the means to directly reference items of lists nested in theorem-like environments (e.g., as Theorem 1 a). The package extends the ntheorem and cleveref packages. The package also provides other theorem markup commands.

The package allows the drawing of Euclidean geometric figures using TeX PSTricks macros for specifying mathematical constraints. It is thus possible to build point using common transformations or intersections. The use of coordinates is limited to points which controlled the figure.

The package makes eqnarray environment behave like align from amsmath. It is intended for quick-fixing documents that use eqnarray. In cases where it fails, manual conversion to align is required, but these cases should be seldom.

The package provides a very simple LaTeX document template, in the hope that this use of LaTeX will become attractive to typical word processor users. (Presentation is as if it were a class; users are expected to start from a template document.)

The package contains StarFontSans and StarFontSerif, two astrological fonts designed by Anthony I.P. Owen, and the appropriate macros to use them with TeX and LaTeX. The fonts are supplied both in the original TrueType Format and in Adobe Type 1 format.

In some cursive scripts such as Persian or Arabic, kashida is used to create justification. In this type of justification characters are elongated rather than expanding spaces between words. This package extends the kashida justification to be used with the LuaTeX engine.

Endheads provides running headers of the form Notes to pp. xx-yy for endnotes sections. It also enables one to reset the endnotes counter, and put a line marking the chapter change in the endnotes, at the beginning of every chapter.

The package introduces Subversion variants of the standard LaTeX macros \ProvidesPackage, \ProvidesClass and \ProvidesFile where the file name and date is extracted from Subversion Id keywords. The file name may also be given explicitly as an optional argument.

This LaTeX2e package makes it possible to add timing marks to lecture notes in order to help managing the time available for presenting a given section of the document. It also provides tools to record and estimate the progress throughout the course.

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.
