The package contains the Bera Type 1 fonts, and a zip archive containing files to use the fonts with LaTeX. Bera is a set of three font families: Bera Serif (a slab-serif Roman), Bera Sans (a Frutiger descendant), and Bera Mono (monospaced/typewriter). Support for use in LaTeX is also provided. The Bera family is a repackaging, for use with TeX, of the Bitstream Vera family.
Typeset a LaTeX2e document with the Concrete fonts designed by Don Knuth and used in his book "Concrete Mathematics".
BibLaTeX is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX. Formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by LaTeX macros, and a working knowledge of LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles. BibLaTeX uses its own data backend program called "biber" to read and process the bibliographic data. With biber, BibLaTeX has many features rivalling or surpassing other bibliography systems. To mention a few: Full Unicode support Highly customisable sorting using the Unicode Collation Algorithm + CLDR tailoring Highly customisable bibliography labels Complex macro-based on-the-fly data modification without changing your data sources A tool mode for transforming bibliographic data sources Multiple bibliographies and lists of bibliographic information in the same document with different sorting Highly customisable data source inheritance rules Polyglossia and babel suppport for automatic language switching for bibliographic entries and citations Automatic bibliography data recoding (UTF-8 -> latin1, LaTeX macros -> UTF-8 etc) Remote data sources Highly sophisticated automatic name and name list disambiguation system Highly customisable data model so users can define their own bibliographic data types Validation of bibliographic data against a data model Subdivided and/or filtered bibligraphies, bibliographies per chapter, section etc. Apart from the features unique to BibLaTeX, the package also incorporates core features of the following packages: babelbib, bibtopic, bibunits, chapterbib, cite, inlinebib, mcite and mciteplus, mlbib, multibib, splitbib. The package strictly requires e-TeX BibTeX, bibtex8, or Biber etoolbox 2.1 or later logreq 1.0 or later keyval ifthen url Biber, babel / polyglossia, and csquotes 4.4 or later are strongly recommended.
BibTeX allows the user to store his citation data in generic form, while printing citations in a document in the form specified by a BibTeX style, to be specified in the document itself (one often needs a LaTeX citation-style package, such as natbib as well). BibTeX itself is an ASCII-only program; there is, however, a version that copes with 8-bit character sets. However, BibTeX's facilities rapidly run out as one moves away from simple ASCII (for example, in the various national sorting rules for languages expressed in different parts of ISO-8859 -- the "ISO Latin" series). For more flexibility, the user is urged to consider using biber with biblatex to typeset its output. In fact, it is best to avoid BibTeX in favour of biber and biblatex, if at all possible.
A convenient interface for typesetting bidirectional texts with plain TeX and LaTeX. The package includes adaptations for use with many other commonly-used packages.
This package provides expandable arithmetic operations with big integers that can exceed TeX's number limits.
This package defines and implements the data type bit set, a vector of bits. The size of the vector may grow dynamically. Individual bits can be manipulated.
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).
This package implements a new bookmark (outline) organization for package hyperref. Bookmark properties such as style and color can now be set. Other action types are available (URI, GoToR, Named). The bookmarks are generated in the first compile run. Package hyperref uses two runs.
