adjustbox: Graphics package-alike macros for “general” boxes

thorade — 2014-04-07T17:16:29+02:00

The package provides several macros to adjust boxed content. One purpose is to supplement the standard graphics package, which defines the macros \resizebox, \scalebox and \rotatebox , with the macros\trimbox and \clipbox. The main feature is the general \adjustbox macro which extends the “key=value” interface of \includegraphics from the graphics package and applies it to general text content. Additional provided box macros are \lapbox, \marginbox, \minsizebox, \maxsizebox and \phantombox. All macros use the collectbox package to read the content as a box and not as a macro argument. This allows for all forms of content including special material like verbatim content. A special feature of collectbox is used to provide matching environments with the identical names as the macros.

listings: Typeset source code listings

thorade — 2014-01-16T20:56:53+01:00

The package enable the user to typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX. The source code is read directly by TeX. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no special style for strings). Includes support for hyperref. To use, simply \usepackage{listings}, identify the language with \lstset{language=Python}, then employ the \begin{lstlisting} ... \end{lstlisting} environment or the \lstinputlisting{filename.py} command. Short (in-line) listings are also available, using either \lstinline|...| or | ... | (after defining the | token with the \lstMakeShortInline command).

minted: Highlighted source code

thorade — 2014-01-16T20:55:46+01:00

The package that facilitates expressive syntax highlighting in LaTeX using the powerful Pygments library. The package also provides options to customize the highlighted source code output using fancyvrb.

tabularx: Tabulars with adjustable-width columns

thorade — 2012-12-11T14:21:26+01:00

The package defines an environment tabularx, an extension of tabular which has an additional column designator, X, which creates a paragraph-like column whose width automatically expands so that the declared width of the environment is filled. (Two X columns together share out the available space between them, and so on.) The package is part of the tools bundle in the LaTeX required distribution.

polynom: Macros for manipulating polynomials.

thorade — 2012-10-27T11:53:50+02:00

The polynom package implements macros for manipulating polynomials, for example it can typeset long polynomial divisions. The main test case and application is the polynomial ring in one variable with rational coefficients.

beamerposter: Extend beamer and a0poster for custom sized posters

thorade — 2012-10-01T14:24:55+02:00

The package enables the user to use beamer style operations on a canvas of the sizes provided by a0poster; font scaling is available (using packages such as type1cm if necessary). In addition, the package allows the user to benefit from the nice colour box handling and alignment provided by the beamer class (for example, with rounded corners and shadows). Good looking posters may be created very rapidly. Features include: scalable fonts using the fp and type1cm packages; posters in A-series sizes, and custom sizes like double A0 are possible; still applicable to custom beamer slides, e.g. 16:9 slides for a wide-screen (i.e. 1.78 aspect ratio); orientation may be portrait or landscape; a ‘debug mode’ is provided.

unicode-math: Unicode mathematics support for XeTeX and LuaTeX

thorade — 2012-08-08T17:47:40+02:00

The current release of this package typesets mathematics with unicode input and using OpenType maths fonts. (There is little compatibility with older maths packages.) XeTeX support is well tested, though LuaTeX support less so. The package can typeset using STIX fonts, the XITS development of those fonts, the Asana-Math fonts and the commercial Cambria Math fonts. There is no support yet for any extra alphabets in the Unicode ‘private use area'. The package relies on recent versions of the fontspec package and the l3kernel and l3packages bundles.

xfrac: Split-level fractions in latex2e

thorade — 2012-07-17T16:20:36+02:00

The package allows the user to typeset fractions in the form ‘n/d’. Requires e-TeX, current LaTeX, and the LaTeX 3 packages template and xparse. The package provides a high quality alternative to the facilities of the nicefrac package (part of the units distribution). See also the faktor package for quotient spaces and the like. The package on CTAN derives from a snapshot of the LaTeX 3 repository, taken on 2012-07-16, and is distributed as part of the l3packages bundle.

amsmath: AMS mathematical facilities for LaTeX

thorade — 2012-07-17T16:19:47+02:00

This package is the principal package in the AMS-LaTeX distribution. It adapts for use in LaTeX most of the mathematical features found in AMS-TeX; it is a near-indispensable adjunct to serious mathematical typesetting in LaTeX. When amsmath is loaded, AMS-LaTeX packages amsbsy (for bold symbols), amsopn (for operator names) and amstext (for text embdedded in mathematics) are also loaded. Amsmath is part of the LaTeX required distribution; however, several contributed packages add still further to its appeal; examples are empheq, which provides functions for decorating and highlighting mathematics, and ntheorem, for specifying theorem (and similar) definitions.

stdpage: Standard pages with n lines of at most m characters each

thorade — 2012-07-17T11:00:18+02:00

For translations, proofreading, journal contributions etc. standard pages are used. Those standard pages consist of a fixed number of lines and characters per line. This package produces pages with n lines of at most m characters each. For instance the German "Normseite": 60 lines of 30 characters each.

fontspec: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX

thorade — 2012-05-03T17:37:30+02:00

Fontspec is a package for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. It provides an automatic and unified interface to feature-rich AAT and OpenType fonts through the NFSS in LaTeX running on XeTeX or LuaTeX engines. The package requires the l3kernel and xparse packages from the LaTeX 3 development team.

gitinfo: Access metadata from the git distributed version control system

thorade — 2012-04-05T14:01:43+02:00

The package makes it possible to incorporate git version control metadata into documents. For memoir users, the package provides the means to tailor page headers and footers to use the metadata.

pdfpages: Include PDF documents in LaTeX

thorade — 2012-03-16T14:40:19+01:00

This package simplifies the inclusion of external multi-page PDF documents in LaTeX documents. Pages may be freely selected and similar to psnup it is possible to put several logical pages onto each sheet of paper. Furthermore a lot of hypertext features like hyperlinks and article threads are provided. The package supports pdfTeX (pdflatex) and VTeX. With VTeX it is even possible to use this package to insert PostScript files, in addition to PDF files.

SVG Rasterizer

thorade — 2011-11-04T14:41:15+01:00

This page describes the features of the SVG Rasterizer utility that comes with the Batik distribution. The SVG Rasterizer is a utility that can convert SVG files to a raster format. The tool can convert individual files or sets of files, making it easy to convert entire directories of SVG files. The provided formats are JPEG, PNG and TIFF, however the design allows new formats to be added easily. In addition, the rasterizer can (despite its name) transcode to PDF.

Stix Fonts

thorade — 2011-07-27T16:12:16+02:00

The STIX fonts are a suite of unicode OpenType fonts containing a complete set of mathematical glyphs. The CTAN copy is a mirror of their official release, organised as specified by the TeX Directory Structure, for inclusion in standard TeX distributions.

biblatex: Bibliographies in LaTeX

thorade — 2011-07-20T17:59:25+02:00

The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX. It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level. With biblatex, BibTeX is only used (if it is used at all) to sort the bibliography and to generate labels. Instead of being implemented in BibTeX's style files, the formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by TeX macros. Good working knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles — there is no need to learn BibTeX’s postfix stack language. Just like the bibliography styles, all citation commands may be freely (re)defined. In fact, users need not remain bound to BibTeX for use with biblatex: an alternative bibliography processor biblatex-biber is available. Development of biblatex and biblatex-biber is closely coupled.

Biber: BibTeX replacement for biblatex

thorade — 2011-07-20T15:59:05+02:00

The biblatex package by Philipp Lehman is likely to become the definitive citation management tool for LaTeX users. Biblatex relies on the venerable BibTeX program only for sorting and generating a very generic bbl file without any formatting instruction. Everything else is taken care of by biblatex, which provides a powerful and flexible macro interface for authors of citation styles. With Biber it is no longer necessary to rely on BibTeX. For maximal portability, the current version includes a Pure Perl BibTeX parser with a Parse::RecDescent grammar, but if available it will use the much faster Text::BibTeX module which relies on the btparse C library. The objective of the first development phase is to have a robust and reliable emulation of the BibTeX processor with the biblatex.bst style file. In other words, given the same data file as input, biber should output a functionally identical .bbl file as BibTeX. In a future version, Biber will also support a new XML format tailored specifically for biblatex data, unimaginatively called BibLaTeXML. It owes its inspiration partly to the BibTeXML format, but it is far more complex. RelaXNG and W3C schemata will be provided, as well as a tool for converting .bib files to biblatexml. The advantages of no longer being dependent upon BibTeX are obvious: full Unicode support, no memory limitations, extensibility, etc. In the future, support for communication with embedded or relational databases (e.g. Berkeley DB, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL) or remote resources via network protocols (such as SRU) might also be implemented.

MathJax is an open source JavaScript display engine for mathematics that works in all modern browsers.

Texmaker (free cross-platform latex editor)

thorade — 2011-07-01T10:45:39+02:00

Texmaker is a free, modern and cross-platform LaTeX editor for linux, macosx and windows systems that integrates many tools needed to develop documents with LaTeX, in just one application. Texmaker includes unicode support, spell checking, auto-completion, code folding and a built-in pdf viewer with synctex support and continuous view mode.

TeXstudio: Free LaTeX Editor

thorade — 2011-06-27T15:28:24+02:00

TeXstudio is a fork of the LaTeX IDE TexMaker and gives you an environment where you can easily create and manage LaTeX documents. It provides modern writing support, like interactive spell checking, code folding and syntax highlighting. Also it serves as a starting point from where you can easily run all necessary LaTeX tools. (you can see more features below) You can run it on Windows, Unix/Linux, BSD and MacOSX systems and modify it if you want, since it is licensed under the GPL. Althought TeXstudio has a lot of additional features, it tries to be like an improved version of Texmaker, so it keeps it look&feel as well as its version number.
