This package provides advanced facilities for inline and display quotations. It is designed for a wide range of tasks ranging from the most simple applications to the more complex demands of formal quotations. The facilities include commands, environments, and user-definable 'smart quotes' which dynamically adjust to their context. Quotation marks are switched automatically if quotations are nested and they can be adjusted to the current language if the babel package is available. There are additional facilities designed to cope with the more specific demands of academic writing, especially in the humanities and the social sciences. All quote styles as well as the optional active quotes are freely configurable. The package is dependent on e-TeX, and requires the author's etoolbox package.
Provides commands to typeset centered, left- or right-aligned table and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions.
The package provides macros holding file name information (directory, base name, extension, full name and full path) for files read by LaTeX \input and \include macros; it uses the file hooks provided by the author's filehook. In particular, it restores the parent file name after the trailing \clearpage of an \included file; as a result, the macros may be usefully employed in the page header and footer of the last printed page of such a file. The depth of inclusion is made available, together with the "parent" (including file) and "parents" (all including files to the root of the tree). The package supersedes FiNK.
The package provides older hyphenation patterns for the German language. Please note that by default only pdfLaTeX uses these patterns (mainly for backwards compatibility). The older packages ghyphen and gnhyph are now bundled together with dehyph, and are no longer be updated. Both XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX use the current German hyphenation patterns taken from Hyphenation patterns in UTF-8, and using the Experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language package it is possible to make pdfLaTeX use the new German patterns as well.
This program makes PNG and/or GIF graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. Its benefits include: Speed. It offers very fast rendering of DVI as bitmap files, which makes it suitable for generating large amounts of images on-the-fly, as needed in preview-latex, WeBWorK and others; It does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. There is a --follow switch that makes dvipng wait at end-of-file for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI; Interactive query of options. dvipng can read options interactively through stdin, and all options are usable. It is even possible to change the input file through this interface. Support for PK, VF, PostScript Type1, and TrueType fonts, colour specials, and inclusion of PostScript, PNG, JPEG or GIF images.
This package has been withdrawn from CTAN, and bundled into the distributions' package sets. The current sources of dvips may be found in the distribution of dvipsk which forms part of the TeX Live sources.
The EC fonts are European Computer Modern Fonts, supporting the complete LaTeX T1 encoding defined at the 1990 TUG conference hold at Cork/Ireland. These fonts are intended to be stable with no changes being made to the tfm files. The set also contains a Text Companion Symbol font, called tc, featuring many useful characters needed in text typesetting, for example oldstyle digits, currency symbols (including the newly created Euro symbol), the permille sign, copyright, trade mark and servicemark as well as a copyleft sign, and many others. Recent releases of LaTeX2e support the EC fonts. The EC fonts supersede the preliminary version released as the DC fonts. The fonts are available in (traced) Adobe Type 1 format, as part of the cm-super bundle. The other Computer Modern-style T1-encoded Type 1 set, Latin Modern, is not actually a direct development of the EC set, and differs from the EC in a number of particulars.
EncTeX is (another) TeX extension, written at the change-file level. It provides means of translating input on the way into TeX. It allows, for example, translation of multibyte sequences, such as utf-8 encoding.
Epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an 'encapsulated' PDF file (a single page file whose media box is the same as the original EPS's bounding box). The resulting file suitable for inclusion by PDFTeX as an image. The script is adapted to run both on Windows and on Unix-alike systems. The script makes use of Ghostscript for the actual conversion to PDF. It assumes Ghostscript version 6.51 or later, and (by default) suppresses its automatic rotation of pages where most of the text is not horizontal. LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package, which will run the epstopdf script "on the fly", thus giving the illusion that PDFLaTeX is accepting EPS graphic files.
The package adds one or more user commands to LaTeX's shipout routine, which may be used to place the output at fixed positions. The grid option may be used to find the correct places.
