A merger of + longtable and tabularx packages from the Standard LaTeX tools + collection. This produces multipage tables in which the column + widths are automatically calculated to achieve a specified total + table width. + +blkarray.sty + Despite being in this `supported' directory this package is less + supported than the others. I wrote it a long time ago. It is still + documented using the conventions of LaTeX2.09 (although it appears + to work with current LaTeX releases). I do not think I am going to + be able to work on this in the foreseeable future, so have decided to + let it out in its current state. It is not really a package for + using in documents in its present state, but if you are interested + in coding tables of various sorts in TeX, you may be interested to + experiment with it... + + +mylatex.ltx + This file provides a method of making a special format tailored to + one document, with all the class and packages, and other preamble + material pre-loaded. This can save quite a lot of time on some + systems. See the comments in the file. + + +typehtml.dtx +typehtml.ins + Typeset HTML (ie World Wide web documents) directly from LaTeX. + Process the file html.ins to produce the html.sty package file. + Process the file html.dtx to produce examples, documentation and + code listings. Currently this package can handle almost all of + HTML2, and most of the math fragment of the draft HTML3. + More or less superceeded by typexml, distributed from ctan + in a separate directory. + + +plain.sty + Typeset plain TeX markup in LaTeX documents. + Within \begin{plain} ... \end{plain} most plain TeX constructs work + including commands such as \over which might have been disabled by + other LaTeX packages such as amsmath. + +comma.sty + Adds a new possibility for printing counter values in addition + to \arabic, \roman, etc. + \commaform inserts a comma every three digits, as in 12,345. + It may be easily customised to insert any other TeX command + (such as a thin space `\,') instead of a comma. + +colortbl.dtx +colortbl.ins + Add colour to LaTeX tables. Requires array and color packages. + Process colortbl.ins to produce the package file colortbl.sty. + Process colortbl.dtx to get the documentation (this requires + longtable hhline and dcolumn from the standard `tools' + distribution.) + +dotlessj.sty + If you are using a font set without a dotless j (\j and \jmath) then + this package will fake one. It requires the LaTeX color package. + It does not require any explicit PostScript support. + +textcase.dtx +textcase.ins + \MakeTextUppercase and \MakeTextLowercase are similar to the standard + \MakeUppercase and \MakeLowercase, but they do not change the case of + any sections of mathematics within the argument. + Improvements from Donald Arseneau mean that \label, \ref and \cite + also work within the argument of these commands, without the symbolic + `key name' being incorrectly uppercased. + +remreset.sty + \@removefromreset: a companion to the standard \@addtoreset command + allows counters to be removed from the reset list of a controlling + counter. For example, a class file based on book class may say + \@removefromreset{footnote}{chapter} + so that footnotes are no longer reset every chapter (the book class + default). + +scalefnt.sty + \scalefont{2} selects the current font in twice the current size. + \scalefont{.75} reduces the current font size by three quarters. + +fix2col.dtx +fix2col.ins + Superceeded by fixltx2e, part of the base LaTeX distribution. + Two column fixes. + a) Fix mark handling so \firstmark is taken from the first column + if that column has marks at all. + (A copy of Piet van Oostrum's fixmarks package, more or less.) + b) Keep two column floats like figure* in sequence with single + column floats like figure. + (Modelled on Ed Sznyter's 2.09 package, fixfloats.) + + + +slashed.sty + Commands for the `Feynman slashed character' notation. + +pspicture.ins +pspicture.dtx + Reimplement picture mode to use dvips specials, thus removing + restrictions on available slopes etc. + Previously distributed in other/misc. + Should be re-implemented to accept graphics package style driver + options. + + + +tabulary.dtx +tabulary.ins + The tabulary environment is similar to tabularx (tools) and tabular* + (LaTeX kernel) but uses a different column width allocation + algorithm. |
