The package helps to typeset exercises or list of exercises within any document. Exercises, questions and sub-questions are automatically numbered. It is possible to put answers in the same document, and display them immediately, later in the document or not to print answers at all. The layout of exercises is fully customisable. It is possible to typeset long problems, short exercises, questionnaires, etc. Usage of the Babel package is detected, but not fully supported yet (only English and French are implemented).
The everyshi package provides hooks into \sshipout called \EveryShipout and \AtNextShipout analogous to \AtBeginDocument. With the introduction of the LaTeX hook management this package became obsolete in 2020 and is only provided for backwards compatibility. For current versions of LaTeX it is only mapping the hooks to the original everyshi macros. In case you use an older LaTeX format, everyshi will automatically fall back to its old implementation by loading everyshi-2001-05-15.
PGFPlots draws high-quality function plots in normal or logarithmic scaling with a user-friendly interface directly in TeX. The user supplies axis labels, legend entries and the plot coordinates for one or more plots and PGFPlots applies axis scaling, computes any logarithms and axis ticks and draws the plots, supporting line plots, scatter plots, piecewise constant plots, bar plots, area plots, mesh-- and surface plots and some more. PGFPlots is based on PGF/TikZ (PGF); it runs equally for LaTeX/TeX/ConTeXt.
The process of preparing a collaborative proposal, to a major funding body, involves integration of contributions of a many people at many sites. It is therefore an ideal application for a text-based document preparation system such as LaTeX, in concert with a distributed version control system such as SVN. The proposal class itself provides a basis for such an enterprise. The dfgproposal and dfgproposal classes provide two specialisations of the base class for (respectively) German and European research proposals.
This PStricks package covers all the colour gradient functionality of pst-grad (part of the base PSTricks distribution), and provides the following facilities:
it permits the user to specify an arbitrary number of colours, along with the points at which they are to be reached;
it converts between RGB and HSV behind the scenes;
it provides concentric and radial gradients;
it provides a command
\psBallthat generates bullets with a three-dimensional appearance.
This package is designed for typesetting the programmable elements in digital hardware, i.e., registers. Such registers typically have many fields and can be quite wide; they are thus a challenge to typeset in a consistent manner. Register is similar in some aspects to the bytefield and bitpattern packages. Anyone doing hardware documentation using LaTeX should examine those packages. An example Perl module and script are provided, to convert the register specifications into structures suitable for, say, a pre-silicon test environment.
This package provides miscellaneous macros by Joerg Knappen, including: represent counters in greek; Maxwell's non-commutative division; latin1jk, latin2jk and latin3jk, which are inputenc definition files that allow verbatim input in the respective ISO Latin codes; blackboard bold fonts in maths; use of RSFS fonts in maths; extra alignments for \parboxes; swap Roman and Sans fonts; transliterate semitic languages; patches to make (La)TeX formulae embeddable in SGML; use maths minus in text as appropriate; simple Young tableaux.
This package provides a Unicode compliant OpenType font with support for Devanagari, Latin, and Cyrillic scripts. It is available in two weights--regular and bold. The font is designed with over 1600 Devanagari glyphs, including support for over 1100 conjunct consonants, as well as vedic accents. The Latin component of the font not only supports a wide range of characters required for Roman transliteration of Sanskrit, but also provides a subset of regularly used mathematical symbols for scholars working with scientific and technical documents.
The textcase package offers commands \MakeTextUppercase and \MakeTextLowercase are similar to the standard \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase, but they do not change the case of any sections of mathematics, or the arguments of \cite, \label and \ref commands within the argument. A further command \NoCaseChange does nothing but suppress case change within its argument, so to force uppercase of a section including an environment, one might say:
\MakeTextUppercase...\NoCaseChange\beginfoo ...\NoCaseChange\endfoo...
The package makes it easier to write articles where proofs and other material are deferred to the appendix. The appendix material is written in the LaTeX code along with the main text which it naturally complements, and it is automatically deferred. The package can automatically send proofs to the appendix, can repeat in the appendix the theorem environments stated in the main text, can section the appendix automatically based on the sectioning of the main text, and supports a separate bibliography for the appendix material.
MiniPlot is a package to help the LaTeX user typeset EPS figures using an easy-to-use interface. Figures can be arranged as one-figure-only or as a collection of figures in columns and rows which can itself contain sub-figures in columns and rows. Wrapped figures are also supported. This package provides commands to display a framebox instead of the figure as the graphics package does already but additionally it writes useful information such as the label and scaling factor into these boxes.
Colophons are a once-common design device by which a book (or document) designer gave some information to his readers about the design and makeup of the text. It typically includes the publisher (if not included elsewhere in the document), font size, leading size, measure, and of course font face identification. Sometimes it includes information about the tools used, as well. This package provides some highly configurable macros, with sensible defaults, for producing colophons without having to muck around with a lot of manual code.
This package is unneeded and does nothing when used with a LaTeX format 2020-10-01 or newer as in this case the format provides the \AtEndDvi command. For older formats it implements \AtEndDvi, a counterpart to \AtBeginDvi. The execution of its argument is delayed to the end of the document at the end of the last page. Thus \special and \write remain effective, because they are put into the last page. This is the main difference to \AtEndDocument.
LaTeX's standard styles use two page styles, one on normal pages and one on opening pages with \maketitle or \chapter, etc. Unfortunately there is only easy access to changing one of these two so if you want something other than plain on the opening pages you must use \thispagestyle on each such page. The fancyhdr package does provide a more flexible interface, but if you just want an empty page style on all pages then this package will do the job.
This package offers commands to use and switch between chess fonts. It uses the LaTeX font selection scheme (nfss). The package doesn't parse, format and print PGN input like e.g., the packages skak or texmate; the aim of the package is to offer writers of chess packages a bundle of commands for fonts, so that they don't have to implement all these commands for themselves. A normal user can use the package to print e.g,. single chess symbols and simple diagrams.
This is a LaTeX class for B.Sc.: and M.Sc.: reports at Leiden Institute of Physics (LION). The purpose of this class is twofold. It creates a uniform layout of the student theses from our department. More importantly, it contains several fields on the front-page that the user needs to fill that are used in the university administration (name, student number and name of supervisor). Students are free to change the layout of the text but should leave the title page as it is.
This package, together with the Beamer class, is used to generate slideshows with song lyrics. This is typically used in religious services in churches equipped with a projector, for which this package has been written, but it can be useful for any type of singing assembly. It provides environments to describe a song in a natural way, and formatting it into slides with overlays. The package comes with an additional Python script that can be used to convert plain-text song lyrics to the expected LaTeX markup.
This package provides the PlayFairDisplay family of fonts, designed by Claus Eggers Sorensen, for use with LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. PlayFairDisplay is well suited for titling and headlines. It has an extra large x-height and short descenders. It can be set with no leading if space is tight, for instance in news headlines, or for stylistic effect in titles. Capitals are extra short, and only very slightly heavier than the lowercase characters. This helps achieve a more even typographical colour when typesetting proper nouns and initialisms.
This package is used in concert with the cyber package to make documents with annotations of compliance with cybersecurity requirements. When you include this package, some notations of compliance are added to section names as seen in the table of contents of the final document. It also makes your document more brittle in unexpected ways: for example, when you use cybercic in the same document as hyperref, you cannot use any formatting in your section titles. So don't use cybercic unless you need to.
With standard LaTeX you are able to check for the class in use invoking the kernel command \@ifclassloaded. However, doing so you cannot get the explicit class name, unless you want to loop over every possible class name until \@ifclassloaded returns true --- don't do that! With the help of the present package you can obtain the name of the current class with significantly less effort. Just load the package as usual, then, the control sequence \classname will hold the name you were looking for.
BibLaTeX is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX. Formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by LaTeX macros, and a working knowledge of LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles. BibLaTeX uses its own data backend program called biber to read and process the bibliographic data. With biber, the range of features provided by BibLaTeX includes full Unicode support, customisable bibliography labels, multiple bibliographies in the same document, and subdivided bibliographies, such as bibliographies per chapter or section.
The package provides an all purpose songbook style. Three types of output may be created from a single input file: ``words and chords'' books for the musicians to play from, ``words only'' songbooks for the congregation to sing from, and overhead transparency masters for congregational use.
The package will also print a table of contents, an index sorted by title and first line, and an index sorted by key, or by artist/composer. The package attempts to handle songs in multiple keys, as well as songs in multiple languages.
This package can help you format your notes easily and give them a unique front page for every chapter and section. It calculates your progress and then displays the progress bar under the title. It also displays a partial table of contents under every progress bar and only shows the sub-directories of the current part. To generate this, you can simply enter your current completed titles with a command that accepts variable arguments. Still, that also helps reviewing notes. You can also configure the color of the bar.
This package provides an easy and flexible user interface to customize page layout, implementing auto-centering and auto-balancing mechanisms so that the users have only to give the least description for the page layout. The package knows about all the standard paper sizes, so that the user need not know what the nominal real dimensions of the paper are, just its standard name (such as a4, letter, etc.). An important feature is the package's ability to communicate the paper size it's set up to the output.
