Provides classes extarticle, extreport, extletter, extbook and extproc which provide for documents with a base font size from 8-20pt.
Provides variants of \fbox: \shadowbox, \doublebox, \ovalbox, \Ovalbox, with helpful tools for using box macros and flexible verbatim macros. You can box mathematics, floats, center, flushleft, and flushright, lists, and pages.
The package provides extensive facilities, both for constructing headers and footers, and for controlling their use (for example, at times when LaTeX would automatically change the heading style in use).
Provides fancy cross-referencing support, based on the package's reference commands (\fref and \Fref) that recognise what sort of object is being referenced. So, for example, the label for a \section would be expected to be of the form 'sec:foo': the package would recognise the 'sec:' part.
Flexible handling of verbatim text including: verbatim commands in footnotes; a variety of verbatim environments with many parameters; ability to define new customized verbatim environments; save and restore verbatim text and environments; write and read files in verbatim mode; build "example" environments (showing both result and verbatim source). date: 2010-05-25 20:13:54 +0200

LaTeX2e's filecontents and filecontents* environments enable a LaTeX source file to generate external files as it runs through LaTeX. However, there are two limitations of these environments: they refuse to overwrite existing files, and they can only be used in the preamble of a document. The filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you overwrite existing files and letting you use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere. date: 2011-10-09 16:42:04 +0200

The filecontents package removes these limitations, letting you overwrite existing files and letting you use filecontents/filecontents* anywhere. As of September 2019 the author tells us: "This package is no longer necessary due to its functionality having moved into recent LaTeX kernels. It's probably better not to move the package to obsolete because users may need it to rebuild old documents. Version 1.5 provides full functionality when run with an older kernel but issues a warning message and disables itself when run with a newer kernel."
The package provides several file hooks (AtBegin, AtEnd, ...) for files read by \input, \include and \InputIfFileExists. General hooks for all such files (e.g. all \include'd ones) and file specific hooks only used for named files are provided; two hooks are provided for the end of \included files -- one before, and one after the final \clearpage. date: 2011-10-13 10:45:00 +0200
