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.
If you are installing texlive and need a documentation to describe styles or you are a TeX beginner and need tutorials, you may install this package to obtain applications allowing you to user-friendly browse documentation of the TeX formatting system.
Dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) is a development of dvipdfm created to support multi-byte character encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages. Dvipdfmx, if "called" with the name dvipdfm, operates in a "dvipdfm compatibility" mode, so that users of the both packages need only keep one executable. A secondary design goal is to support as many "PDF" features as does pdfTeX. There being no documentation as such, users are advised to consult the documentation of dvipdfm (as well, of course, as the package Readme.
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.
