A simple package which provides an \ifxetex conditional, so that other code can determine that it is running under XeTeX. The package requires the e-TeX extensions to the TeX primitive set. date: 2009-01-27 08:30:55 +0100
This is a reimplementation of LaTeX's indexing macros to provide better support for indexing. For example, it supports multiple indexes in a single document and provides a more robust \index command. It supplies short hand notations for the \index command (^{word}) and a * variation of \index (abbreviated _{word}) that prints the word being indexed, as well as creating an index entry for it. date: 2008-04-20 19:53:04 +0200
kastrup package
The KOMA-Script bundle provides drop-in replacements for the article/report/book classes with emphasis on typography and versatility. There is also a letter class, different from all other letter classes. The bundle also offers: - a package for calculating type areas in the way laid down by the typographer Jan Tschichold, - a package for easily changing and defining page styles, - a package scrdate for getting not only the current date but also the name of the day, and - a package scrtime for getting the current time. All these packages may be used not only with KOMA-Script classes but also with the standard classes. Since every package has its own version number, the version number quoted only refers to the version of scrbook, scrreprt, scrartcl, scrlttr2 and typearea. These are the main parts of the bundle. date: 2013-12-26 07:56:41 +0100
Kpathsea is a library and utility programs which provide path searching facilities for TeX file types, including the self- locating feature required for movable installations, layered on top of a general search mechanism. It is not distributed separately, but rather is released and maintained as part of the TeX live sources. date: 2012-03-14 12:38:42 +0100
Binaries for kpathsea
The library is at the centre of pretty much all Unix-based TeX executable. It is no longer distributed separately, but rather consititutes a central part of the sources of the TeX-live distribution.
The l3kernel bundle provides an implementation of the LaTeX3 programmers' interface, as a set of packages that run under LaTeX 2e. The interface provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other future code are built: it is an API for TeX programmers. The packages are set up so that the LaTeX3 conventions can be used with regular LaTeX 2e packages. All the files of the bundle are also available in the project's Subversion (SVN) repository date: 2014-01-07 19:05:28 +0100
The bundle holds prototype implementations of concepts for a LaTeX designer interface, to be used with the experimental LaTeX kernel as programming tools and kernel support. Packages provided in this release are: - l3keys2e, which makes the facilities of the kernel module l3keys available for use by LaTeX 2e packages; - xfrac, which provides flexible split-level fractions; - xparse, which provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands; and - xtemplate, which provides a means of defining generic functions using a key-value syntax. All the files of the bundle are also available in the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project. The bundle on CTAN is based on a snapshot of the SVN repository on; it should be used with copies of the l3kernel at SVN version 2544 or later. date: 2014-01-01 10:11:48 +0100
LaTeX is a widely-used macro package for TeX, providing many basic document formating commands extended by a wide range of packages. It is a development of Leslie Lamport's LaTeX 2.09, and superseded the older system in June 1994. The basic distribution is catalogued separately, at latex-base; apart from a large set of contributed packages and third-party documentation (elsewhere on the archive), the distribution includes: - a bunch of required packages, which LaTeX authors are "entitled to assume" will be present on any system running LaTeX; and - a minimal set of documentation detailing differences from the 'old' version of LaTeX in the areas of user commands, font selection and control, class and package writing, font encodings, configuration options and modification of LaTeX. For downloading details, see the linked catalogue entries above. date: 2013-03-06 18:48:43 +0100
