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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Sweave is a tool that allows to embed the R code for complete data analyses in latex documents. The purpose is to create dynamic reports, which can be updated automatically if data or analysis change. Instead of inserting a prefabricated graph or table into the report, the master document contains the R code necessary to obtain it. When run through R, all data analysis output (tables, graphs, etc.) is created on the fly and inserted into a final latex document. The report can be automatically updated if data or analysis change, which allows for truly reproducible research.

PGF is a macro package for creating graphics. It is platform- and format-independent and works together with the most important TeX backend drivers, including pdftex and dvips. It comes with a user-friendly syntax layer called TikZ. Its usage is similar to pstricks and the standard picture environment. PGF works with plain (pdf-)TeX, (pdf-)LaTeX, and ConTeXt. Unlike pstricks, it can produce either PostScript or PDF output.

Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a consistent set of units with rules on how they are to be used. However, different countries and publishers have differing conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units). A number of LaTeX packages have been developed to provide consistent application of the various rules: SIunits (siunits), sistyle , unitsdef and units are the leading examples. The numprint package provides a large number of number-related functions, while dcolumn and rccol provide tools for typesetting tabular numbers. The siunitx package takes the best from the existing packages, and adds new features and a consistent interface. A number of new ideas have been incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing provision. The package also provides backward-compatibility with SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and units. The aim is to have one package to handle all of the possible unit-related needs of LaTeX users.

The hyperref package is used to handle cross-referencing commands in LaTeX to produce hypertext links in the document. The package provides backends for the \special set defined for HyperTeX DVI processors; for embedded pdfmark commands for processing by Acrobat Distiller ( dvips and Y&Y’s dvipsone); for Y&Y’s dviwindo; for PDF control within pdfTeX (pdftex) and dvipdfm ; for TeX4ht (tex4ht); and for VTeX’s pdf and HTML backends. The package is distributed with the backref and nameref packages, which make use of the facilities of hyperref.

FiXme is a collaborative annotation tool for LaTeX documents. Annotating a document refers here to inserting meta-notes, that is, notes that do not belong to the document itself, but rather to its development or reviewing process. Such notes may involve things of different importance levels, ranging from simple "fix the spelling" flags to critical "this paragraph is a lie" mentions. Annotations like this should be visible during the development or reviewing phase, but should normally disapear in the final version of the document. FiXme is designed to ease and automate the process of managing collaborative annotations, by offering a set of predefined note levels and layouts, the possibility to register multiple note authors, to reference annotations by listing and indexing etc. FiXme is extensible, giving you the possibility to create new layouts or even complete "themes", and also comes with support for AUC-TeX.

The package lets the user mark things to do later, in a simple and and visually appealing way. The package takes several options to enable customization / finetuning of the visual appearance. The package makes use of the tikz and xkeyval packages.

The purpose of this style is to put all figures on pages by themselves at the end of an article in a section named Figures. Likewise for tables. Markers, like “[Figure 3 about here]” appear in the text (by default) near where the figure (or table) would normally have occurred. This is usually required when preparing submissions to journals. A number of package options and other mechanisms are provided to give the user control over various aspects of the package’s behavior. Loading this package will change the output of LATEX.

Create dummy text. Can be used to create examples with a lot text to become a feeling for the look of classes, packages... Some macros: - \blindtext creates some text, - \Blindtext creates more text. - \blinddocument creates a small document with sections, lists... - \Blinddocument creates a large document with sections, lists...
