Many of David Carlisle's more substantial packages stand on their own, or as part of the LaTeX latex-tools set; this set contains: making dotless j characters for fonts that don't have them; a method for combining the capabilities of longtable and tabularx; an environment for including plain TeX in LaTeX documents; a jiffy to create slashed characters for physicists.

The package facilitates wrapping text to a specific character width, breaking lines by words rather than, as done by TeX, by characters. The primary use for these facilities is to aid the generation of messages sent to the log file or console output to display messages to the user. Package authors may also find this useful when writing out arbitrary text to an external file.

The package provides a set of macros based on PSTricks to draw medical pedigrees according to the recommendations for standardized human pedigree nomenclature. The drawing commands place the symbols on a pspicture canvas. An interface for making trees is also provided. The package may be used both with LaTeX and PlainTeX. A separate Perl program for generating TeX files from spreadsheets is available.

The package used to provide macros that emulated the colour stack functionality of Dvips. The colour stack deals with colour manipulations when asynchronous events (like page-breaking) occur. For current releases of pdfTeX, this package is not needed, since real colour stacks are available. It has therefore become empty stub that does nothing at all, just in case there are still documents that reference it.

The package allows you to input (subsections of a) file, print them in verbatim mode, while automatically breaking up the input lines into pieces of a given length, which are output as figures. These figures are posted using the [H] specification, which forces LaTeX to place the figure at the spot of invocation, rather than floating the figures to the top of the next page.

This package defines an outline environment, which allows outline-style indented lists with freely mixed levels up to four levels deep. It replaces the nested begin/end pairs by different item tags \1 to \4 for each nesting level. This is very convenient in cases where nested lists are used a lot, such as for to-do lists or presentation slides.

Martin Vogel's Symbol font (marvosym) contains the Euro currency symbol as defined by the European commission, along with symbols for structural engineering; symbols for steel cross-sections; astronomy signs (sun, moon, planets); the 12 signs of the zodiac; scissor symbols; CE sign and others. The package contains both the original TrueType font and the derived Type 1 font, together with support files for TeX (LaTeX).

The package offers LaTeX support for the fonts PT Sans, PT Serif and PT Mono developed by ParaType for the project Public Types of Russian Federation. The fonts themselves are provided in both the TrueType and Type 1 formats. The fonts provide encodings OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2. The package provides a convenient replacement of the two packages ptsans and ptserif.

The T2 bundle provides a variety of separate support functions for using Cyrillic characters in LaTeX:

• the mathtext package, for using Cyrillic letters transparently in formulae;

• the citehack package, for using Cyrillic (or indeed any non-ASCII) characters in citation keys;

• support for Cyrillic in BibTeX;

• support for Cyrillic in Makeindex;

• various items of font support.

The bundle provides three packages:

• texlinks: shorthand macros for TeX-related external hyperlinks with hyperref, the blog package in the present bundle, etc;

• hypertoc: adjust the presentation of coloured frames in hyperref tables of contents (article class only);

• blog: fast generation of simple HTML by expanding LaTeX macros, using the fifinddo package.

Lollipop is a macro package that functions as a toolbox for writing TeX macros. Its main aim is to make macro writing so easy that implementing a fully new layout in TeX would become a matter of less than an hour for an average document. The aim is that such a task could be accomplished by someone with only a very basic training in TeX programming.

This collection of tools includes: atsupport for short commands starting with @, macros to sanitize the OT1 encoding of the cmtt fonts; a doafter command; improved footnote support; mathenv for various alignment in maths; list handling; mdwmath which adds some minor changes to LaTeX maths; a rewrite of LaTeX's tabular and array environments; verbatim handling; and syntax diagrams.

The asmejour class provides a template to format preprints submitted to ASME journals. The layout and reference formats closely follow the style that is currently being used for published papers. The class is intended to be used with the asmejour.bst BibTeX style, which is part of this distribution. The class is compatible with pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.

This package is not a publication of ASME.

This is a collection of ways to change the typesetting of footnotes. The package provides means of changing the layout of the footnotes themselves, a way to number footnotes per page, to make footnotes disappear in a "moving" argument, and to deal with multiple references to footnotes from the same place. The package also has a range of techniques for labelling footnotes with symbols rather than numbers.

This package automatically formats weekly schedules using LaTeX's picture environment. Its main feature is the accuracy with which appointments are represented: boxes drawn to represent a particular appointment are accurate to the minute --- i.e., a 31-minute appointment will have a box 1/30th longer than a 30-minute appointment. A number of features are included to allow the user to customize the output.

The LaTeX class ijdc-v14 produces camera-ready papers and articles suitable for inclusion in the International Journal of Digital Curation, with applicability from volume 14 onwards; a legacy class ijdc-v9 is provided for papers and articles written for volumes 9-13. The similar idcc class can be used for submissions to the International Digital Curation Conference, beginning with the 2015 conference.

The bundle deals with category code switching; the packages of the bundle should work with any TeX format (with the support of the plainpkg package). The bundle provides:

• stacklet.sty, which supports stacks that control the use of different catcodes;

• actcodes.sty, which deals with active characters;

• catchdq.sty, which provides a simple quotation character control mechanism.

The package provides a single macro \randomize{TEXT} that typesets the characters of TEXT in random order, such that the resulting output appears correct, but most automated attempts to read the file will misunderstand it. This function allows one to include an email address in a TeX document and publish it online without fear of email address harvesters or spammers easily picking up the address.

The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. It provides a command, \hdashrule, which draws horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as \rule, but with an additional parameter that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between those segments. Those rules are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor.

The asmeconf class provides a LaTeX template for ASME conference papers, following ASME's guidelines for margins, fonts, headings, captions, and reference formats as of 2022. This LaTeX template is intended to be used with the asmeconf.bst BibTeX style, for reference formatting, which is part of this distribution. The code is compatible with pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.

This LaTeX template is not a publication of ASME.

The bundle provides several packages for commonly-needed support for typesetting theorems. The packages should work with kernel theorems (theorems out of the box with LaTeX, and the theorem and amsthm packages. The features of the bundle include: a key-value interface to \newtheorem; a \listoftheorems command; hyperref and autoref compatibility; a mechanism for restating entire theorems in a single macro call.

The package finds strings (e.g., parts of words or phrases) and manipulates them, thus turning each word or phrase into a possible command. It is written in plain XeTeX and should thus work with any format. The main application for the moment is XeIndex, an automatic index for XeLaTeX, but examples are given of simple use to check spelling, count words, and highlight syntax of programming languages.

The bundle offers macros and BibTeX styles for the American Economic Review (AER), the American Journal of Agricultural Economics (AJAE), the Canadian Journal of Economics (CJE), the European Review of Agricultural Economics (ERAE), the International Economic Review (IER) and Economica.

The macro sets are based on (and require) the harvard package, and all provide variations of author-date styles of presentation.

This package provides a package for using font sizes up to 35.88pt, for example with the EC fonts. New commands \HUGE and \ssmall for selecting font sizes are provided together with some options working around current LaTeX2e shortcomings in using big font sizes. The package also provides options for improving the typesetting of paragraphs (or headlines) with embedded math expressions at font sizes above 17.28pt.
