The package provides a \makecommand command, which is like \(re)newcommand except it always (re)defines a command. There is also \makeenvironment and \provideenvironment for environments.
MakeIndex is a computer program which provides a sorted index from unsorted raw data. MakeIndex can process raw data output by various programs, however, it is generally used with LaTeX and troff.
A LaTeX package for easy access to the symbols of the Knuth's 'manual' font, such as the Dangerous Bend and Manual-errata Arrow.
This package provides the command \marginnote that may be used instead of \marginpar at almost every place where \marginpar cannot be used, e.g., inside floats, footnotes, or in frames made with the framed package. date: 2012-04-08 16:44:52 +0200

Martin Vogel's Symbol font (marvosym) contains the Euro currency symbol as defined by the European commission, along with symbols for structural engineering; symbols for steel cross-sections; astronomy signs (sun, moon, planets); the 12 signs of the zodiac; scissor symbols; CE sign and others. The package contains both the original TrueType font and the derived Type 1 font, together with support files for TeX (LaTeX).
The Pazo Math fonts are a family of PostScript fonts suitable for typesetting mathematics in combination with the Palatino family of text fonts. The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts provided in Adobe Type 1 format (PazoMath, PazoMath- Italic, PazoMath-Bold, PazoMath-BoldItalic, and PazoMathBlackboardBold). These contain, in designs that match Palatino, glyphs that are usually not available in Palatino and for which Computer Modern looks odd when combined with Palatino. These glyphs include the uppercase Greek alphabet in upright and slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, the lowercase Greek alphabet in slanted shape in regular and bold weights, several mathematical glyphs (partialdiff, summation, product, coproduct, emptyset, infinity, and proportional) in regular and bold weights, other glyphs (Euro and dotlessj) in upright and slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, and the uppercase letters commonly used to represent various number sets (C, I, N, Q, R, and Z) in blackboard bold. The set also includes a set of 'true' small-caps fonts, also suitable for use with Palatino (or one of its clones). LaTeX macro support (using package mathpazo.sty) is provided in psnfss (a required part of any LaTeX distribution).
The mathspec package provides an interface to typeset mathematics in XeLaTeX with arbitrary text fonts using fontspec as a backend. The package is under development and later versions might to be incompatible with this version, as this version is incompatible with earlier versions. The package requires at least version 0.9995 of XeTeX.
Mathtools provides a series of packages designed to enhance the appearance of documents containing a lot of mathematics. The main backbone is amsmath, so those unfamiliar with this required part of the LaTeX system will probably not find the packages very useful. Mathtools provides many useful tools for mathematical typesetting. It is based on amsmath and fixes various deficiencies of amsmath and standard LaTeX. It provides: Extensible symbols, such as brackets, arrows, harpoons, etc.; Various symbols such as \coloneqq (:=); Easy creation of new tag forms; Showing equation numbers only for referenced equations; Extensible arrows, harpoons and hookarrows; Starred versions of the amsmath matrix environments for specifying the column alignment; More building blocks: multlined, cases-like environments, new gathered environments; Maths versions of \makebox, \llap, \rlap etc.; Cramped math styles; and more... Mathtools requires mhsetup.
This collection of tools includes: support for short commands starting with @, macros to sanitise the OT1 encoding of the cmtt fonts; a 'do after' command; improved footnote support; mathenv for various alignment in maths; list handling; mdwmath which adds some minor changes to LaTeX maths; a rewrite of LaTeX's tabular and array environments; verbatim handling; and syntax diagrams.
