There are macro and environment arguments that expect numbers that will internally be multiplied by \unitlength. This package extends the syntax of these arguments, so that dimensions with calculation support may be used for these arguments.
Defines a \FloatBarrier command, beyond which floats may not pass; useful, for example, to ensure all floats for a section appear before the next \section command.
This package provides a complete Babel replacement for users of LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX; it relies on the fontspec package, version 2.0 at least.
A small package that makes LaTeX default to 'standard' PostScript fonts. It is basically a merger of the times and the (obsolete) mathptm packages from the psnfss suite. You must have installed standard LaTeX and the psnfss PostScript fonts to use this package. The main novel feature is that the pslatex package tries to compensate for the visual differences between the Adobe fonts by scaling Helvetica by 90%, and 'condensing' Courier (i.e. scaling horizontally) by 85%. The package is supplied with a (unix) shell file for a 'pslatex' command that allows standard LaTeX documents to be processed, without needing to edit the file. Note that current psnfss uses a different technique for scaling Helvetica, and treats Courier as a lost cause (there are better free fixed-width available now, than there were when pslatex was designed). As a result, pslatex is widely considered obsolete.
A replacement for LaTeX's picture macros, that uses PostScript \special commands. The package is now largely superseded by pict2e.
Pst-coil is a PSTricks based package for coils and zigzags and for coil and zigzag node connections.
pst-tree is a pstricks package that defines a macro \pstree which offers a structured way of joining nodes created using pst-node in order to draw trees.
PSTricks offers an extensive collection of macros for generating PostScript that is usable with most TeX macro formats, including Plain TeX, LaTeX, AMS-TeX, and AMS-LaTeX. Included are macros for colour, graphics, pie charts, rotation, trees and overlays. It has many special features, including a wide variety of graphics (picture drawing) macros, with a flexible interface and with colour support. There are macros for colouring or shading the cells of tables. The package pstricks-add contains bug-fixes and additions for PSTricks (among other things). PSTricks ordinarily uses PostScript \special commands, which are not supported by pdf(La)TeX. This limitation may be overcome by using either the pst-pdf or the pdftricks package, to generate a PDF inclusion from a PSTricks diagram. PSTricks macros can also generate PDF output when the document is processed XeTeX, without the need for other supporting packages.
This is the public release of the qstest bundle (written for DocScape Publisher) (C) 2006, 2007 QuinScape GmbH. The bundle contains the packages 'makematch' for matching patterns to targets (with a generalization in the form of pattern lists and keyword lists), and 'qstest' for performing unit tests, allowing the user to run a number of logged tests ensuring the consistency of values, properties and call sequences during execution of test code. Both packages make extensive use of in their package documentation, providing illustrated examples that are automatically verified to work as expected. Check the README file for details.
The rcs package utilizes the inclusion of RCS supplied data in LaTeX documents. It's upward compatible to *all* rcs styles I know of. In particular, you can easily access values of every RCS field in your document put the checkin date on the titlepage put RCS fields in a footline You can typeset revision logs. Not in verbatim -- real LaTeX text! But you need a configurable RCS for that. Refer to the user manual for more detailed information. You can also configure the rcs package easily to do special things for any keyword. This bundle comes with a user manual, an internal interface description, full documentation of the implementation, style information for AUC- TeX, and test cases.
