The package was designed as an extension of the lastpage package. When more than one page numbering scheme is in operation (as in a book class document with frontmatter), the labels above do not give the total number of pages, so the package also provides labels pagesLTS.<numbering scheme>, where the numbering scheme is arabic, roman, etc.

The package provides tools for including graphics at the full size of the output medium, or for creating pages whose size is that of the graphic they contain. A principal use case is documents that require inclusion of (potentially many) scans or photographs. Bookmarking is especially supported. The tool box has basic macros and a convenience user interface that wraps \includegraphics.

Lorem ipsum is an improper Latin filler dummy text, cf.: the lipsum package. It is commonly used for demonstrating the textual elements of a document template. Lorum ipse is a Hungarian variation of Lorem ipsum. (Lorum is a Hungarian card game, and ipse is a Hungarian slang word meaning bloke.) With this package you can typeset 150 paragraphs of Lorum ipse.

The package provides means of randomising lists of tokens, or lists of chunks of tokens. Two mechanisms for defining chunks are provided: the \ranToks command accepts an argument containing tokens to be randomised; and the \bRTVToks/\eRTVToks commands delimit a collection of tokens for randomising; each group inside a rtVw constitutes one of these (typically larger) token sets.

When typing an open interval as $]a,b[$, a closing bracket is being used in place of an opening fence and vice versa. This leads to wrong spacing. The \interval macro provided by this package attempts to solve this. The package also supports fence scaling and ensures that the enclosing fences will end up having the proper closing and opening types.

This package provides a command much like hyperref's \url that typesets a URL using a typewriter-like font. However, if the dvips driver is being used, the original \url doesn't allow line breaks in the middle of the created link: the link comes in one atomic piece. This package allows such line breaks in the generated links.

This package contains some first aid for LaTeX packages or classes that require updates because of internal changes to the LaTeX kernel that are not yet reflected in the package's or class's code. The file latex2e-first-aid-for-external-files.ltx provided by this package is meant to be loaded during format generation and not by the user.

This LaTeX package provides commands to convert from the Gregorian calendar to the Japanese rendering of the Japanese calendar. You can choose whether the numbers are written in Western numerals or kanji numerals. Note that the package only deals with dates in the year 1873 or later, where the Japanese calendar is really a Gregorian calendar with a different notation of years.

This package provides extra PDF features for OpTeX (or in limited form for plain LuaTeX and LuaLaTeX). As a minimalistic format, OpTeX does not support advanced features of the PDF file format in its base. This third party package aims to provide them. As such, it supports insertion of multimedia (audio, video, 3D), hyperlinks and other actions, triggering events, transitions, and attachments.

The class enables composition of letters fitting into Swiss C5 & C6/5 windowed envelopes. No assumption is made about the language used. The class is based on the standard LaTeX classes and is compatible with the LaTeX letter class. It is not limited to letters and may be used as a generic document class; it is used with the chextras package.

This package provides macro tools:

• quire: making booklets, etc.;

• gloss: vertically align words in consecutive sentences;

• loop: a looping construct;

• dolines: meta'-macros to separate arguments by newlines;

• labels: address labels and bulk mail letters;

• styledef: selectively input part of a file;

• border: borders around boxes.

Dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) is a development of dvipdfm created to support multi-byte character encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages. Dvipdfmx, if called with the name dvipdfm, operates in a dvipdfm compatibility mode, so that users of the both packages need only keep one executable. A secondary design goal is to support as many PDF features as does pdfTeX.

The package enables the user to keep track of different versions of a LaTeX document. The command \version prints the version and build numbers; each time you compile your document, the build number is increased by one. By placing \version in the header or footer, each page can be marked with the unique build number describing the progress of your document.

MnSymbol is a symbol font family, designed to be used in conjunction with Adobe Minion Pro (via the MinionPro package). Almost all of LaTeX and AMS mathematical symbols are provided; remaining coverage is available from the MinionPro font with the MinionPro package. The fonts are available both as Metafont source and as Adobe Type 1 format, and a comprehensive support package is provided.

The package helps to keep track of formal concepts for a specific field or document. This is particularly useful for scientific papers (for example, in physics, mathematics or computer science), which may introduce several concepts (with their own symbols). The package's commands allow the user to define a concept (typically, near its first use), and will ensure consistent use throughout the document.

The package aids spell-checking of TeX documents compiled with the LuaTeX engine. It can give visual feedback in PDF output similar to WYSIWYG word processors. The package relies on an external spell-checker application to check spelling of a text file and to output a list of bad spellings. The package should work with most spell-checkers, even dumb, TeX-unaware ones.

Powerdot is a presentation class for LaTeX that allows for the quick and easy development of professional presentations. It comes with many tools that enhance presentations and aid the presenter. Examples are automatic overlays, personal notes and a handout mode. To view a presentation, DVI, PS or PDF output can be used. A powerful template system is available to easily develop new styles.

This package provides various different formats for the text created by the command \today, and also provides commands for displaying the current time (or any given time), in 12-hour, 24-hour or text format. It overrides Babel's date format, having its own library of date formats in different languages. This package is now obsolete and has been replaced by datetime2.

This package provides commands \alphalph and \AlphAlph. They are like \number but the expansion consists of lowercase and uppercase letters respectively (1 to a, 26 to z, 27 to aa, 52 to zz, 53 to ba, 702 to zz, 703 to aaa, etc.). Alphalph's commands can be used as a replacement for LaTeX's \@alph and \@Alph macros.

Graphbox is an extension of the standard graphicx LaTeX2e package to allow the placement of graphics relative to the ``current position'' using additional optional arguments of \includegraphics. For example, changing the vertical alignment is convenient for using graphics as elements of (mathematical) formulae. Options for shifting, smashing and hiding the graphics may be useful in support, for example, of the Beamer framework.

CBcoptic is a bundle of files for typesetting Coptic philological text with the proper fonts and hyphenation. The fonts are based on, but much extend, the fonts of the original coptic bundle. The CBcoptic bundle includes font description files, Metafont sources and equivalent Adobe Type 1 fonts in PFB format. The bundle also includes a package that provides some macros of philological interest.

This package provides some simple macros which will pad numbers (or, indeed, any expanded token) with your choice of character (defaulting to 0) to your choice of number of places (defaults to 2). This works not only on Arabic numerals, but on any expanded list of tokens passed to it. This makes it suitable for, among other things, counters of all kinds.

This package provides TeX macros for converting Adobe Font Metric files to TeX metric and virtual font format. Fontinst helps mainly with the number crunching and shovelling parts of font installation. This means in practice that it creates a number of files which give the TeX metrics (and related information) for a font family that TeX needs to do any typesetting in these fonts.

The Cherokee script was designed in 1821 by Segwoya. The alphabet is essentially syllabic, only 6 characters (a e i o s u) correspond to Roman letters: the font encodes these to the corresponding roman letter. The remaining 79 characters have been arbitrarily encoded in the range 38-122; the cherokee package provides commands that map each such syllable to the appropriate character.
