LaTeX is a widely-used macro package for TeX, providing many basic document formating commands extended by a wide range of packages. It is a development of Leslie Lamport's LaTeX 2.09, and superseded the older system in June 1994. The basic distribution is catalogued separately, at latex-base; apart from a large set of contributed packages and third-party documentation (elsewhere on the archive), the distribution includes: - a bunch of required packages, which LaTeX authors are "entitled to assume" will be present on any system running LaTeX; and - a minimal set of documentation detailing differences from the 'old' version of LaTeX in the areas of user commands, font selection and control, class and package writing, font encodings, configuration options and modification of LaTeX. For downloading details, see the linked catalogue entries above. date: 2013-03-06 18:48:43 +0100

The package is written in order to help identifying the rightful addressee for a bug report. The LaTeX team asks that it will be loaded in any test file that is intended to be sent to the LaTeX bug database as part of a bug report.

TeX's \let assignment does not work for LaTeX macros with optional arguments or for macros that are defined as robust macros by \DeclareRobustCommand. This package defines \LetLtxMacro that also takes care of the involved internal macros.
TeX specific shared libraries.
Adds line numbers to selected paragraphs with reference possible through the LaTeX \ref and \pageref cross reference mechanism. Line numbering may be extended to footnote lines, using the fnlineno package.
The package enables the user to typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX; the source code is read directly by TeX--no front-end processor is needed. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no special style for strings). Support for hyperref is provided. To use, \usepackage{listings}, identify the language of the object to typeset, using a construct like: \lstset{language=Python}, then use environment lstlisting for inline code. External files may be formatted using \lstinputlisting to process a given file in the form appropriate for the current language. Short (in-line) listings are also available, using either \lstinline|...| or |...| (after defining the | token with the \lstMakeShortInline command). date: 2014-03-04 22:18:45 +0100
