<h2>CTAN on the Web</h2>
<p>
The home page for CTAN is at
<a href="https://ctan.org">https://ctan.org</a>,
which provides several features:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://ctan.org/tex-archive">Browsing the CTAN
directory</a>
</li>
<li>
Browsing in the Catalogue
(by <a href="https://ctan.org/pkg">package</a>, <a href="https://ctan.org/author">author</a>,
or <a href="https://ctan.org/topic">topic</a>)
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://ctan.org/search">Searching in the
Catalogue</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://ctan.org/mirrors/">An extensive list of mirrors</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Searching CTAN</h2>
<p>
You can search the content of the Catalogue with the
following form on the CTAN site:
</p>
<form method="get" action="https://ctan.org/search">
<input name="phrase" class="phrase" type="text" size="24" value="" autofocus="autofocus"/>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
<!--
<p>
The CTAN team also strongly recommend use of
the <a href="help/Catalogue/index.html">T<span class="e">e</span>X
Catalogue Online, CTAN Edition</a>
</p>
-->
<p>
In addition, CTAN archives maintain lists of their contents
as plain text files, in a number of ways:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<a href="FILES.byname">Sorted by name</a>
(This is a <em>big</em> file…around 20M bytes).
</li>
<li>
<a href="FILES.last07days">New or changed in the last 7 days</a>
(This is usually a more manageable size…)
</li>
</ol>
<address>
<p>
This is an experimental page. Comments, to
<a href="mailto:ctan@ctan.org">the CTAN team</a>,
will be most welcome.
