A bundle of LaTeX packages by Martin Schroder; the collection comprises: - count1to, make use of fixed TeX counters; - everysel, set commands to execute every time a font is selected; - everyshi, set commands to execute whenever a page is shipped out; - multitoc, typeset the table of contents in multiple columns; - prelim2e, mark typeset pages as preliminary; and - ragged2e, typeset ragged text and allow hyphenation. date: 2012-05-24 17:58:39 +0200
The remains of a bundle of LaTeX packages by Martin Schroder; the collection still comprises: count1to, make use of TeX counters; and multitoc, typeset the table of contents in multiple columns. ragged2e, prelim2e, everyshi (obsolete), and everysel (obsolete), which used to be part of this bundle, have become independent packages.
The package provides the \multido command, which was originally designed for use with with PSTricks. Fixed-point arithmetic is used when working on the loop variable, so that the package is equally applicable in graphics applications like PSTricks as it is with the more common integer loops. date: 2010-05-15 11:36:20 +0200

The bundle provides a package that implements both author-year and numbered references, as well as much detailed of support for other bibliography use. Also Provided are versions of the standard BibTeX styles that are compatible with natbib-- plainnat, unsrtnat, abbrnat. The bibliography styles produced by custom-bib are designed from the start to be compatible with natbib.
A set of fonts for use as "drop-in" replacements for Adobe's basic set, comprising: Century Schoolbook (substituting for Adobe's New Century Schoolbook); Dingbats (substituting for Adobe's Zapf Dingbats); Nimbus Mono L (substituting for Abobe's Courier); Nimbus Roman No9 L (substituting for Adobe's Times); Nimbus Sans L (substituting for Adobe's Helvetica); Standard Symbols L (substituting for Adobe's Symbol); URW Bookman; URW Chancery L Medium Italic (substituting for Adobe's Zapf Chancery); URW Gothic L Book (substituting for Adobe's Avant Garde); and URW Palladio L (substituting for Adobe's Palatino).
The package offers the command \DeclareFloatingEnvironment, which the user may use to define new floating environments which behave like the LaTeX standard foating environments figure and table.
If you have \cite commands in \section-like commands, or in \caption, the citation will also appear in the table of contents, or list of whatever. If you are also using an unsrt- like bibliography style, these citations will come at the very start of the bibliography, which is confusing. This package suppresses the effect.
The bundle offers versions of the standard LaTeX article and report classes, rewritten to reflect a more European design, and the a4 package, which is better tuned to the shape of a4 paper than is the a4paper class option of the standard classes. The classes include several for article and report requirements, and a letter class. The elements of the bundle were designed by members of the Dutch TeX Users Group NTG.
