+packages. +This list covers most of what +beginners want to do. +(There are some comments in parentheses that +often come up in conjunction with these recommendations.) + + +\subsection{Our archive} +The Comprehensive \TeX{} Archive Network, +\href{https://ctan.org}{\color{darkblue}\CTAN}, +has the latest official versions of +the packages that are in the distributions, +along with documentation. +\href{https://ctan.org/topics/cloud}{\color{darkblue}Browsing by topic} +can be very handy. + +% If you develop a package, please upload it to \CTAN. +If you have trouble finding something, it may be +the house package of a journal or institution. +Look on their web page as well as on \CTAN. + + + +\subsection{Every document} +To change page size, margins, and orientation, use +\pkg{geometry}.\texdoc{geometry} +Get multiple columns with \pkg{multicol}.\texdoc{multicol} + +As referred to above, any document containing significant amounts of +mathematics should use +the American Mathematical Society's packages +\pkg{amsmath}\texdoc{amsmath} +and +\pkg{amsfonts}.\texdoc{amssymb} +Also use their \pkg{amsthm}\texdoc{amsthm} +for producing theorem environments. +Notes: (1)~\pkglink{amsfonts}{amssymb} inputs \pkg{amsfonts} so load the former +instead of the latter, +(2)~many authors also use the calligraphic characters in +\pkg{rsfs},\texdoc{rsfs} +(3)~get bold math symbols with \pkg{bm},\texdoc{bm} +(4)~don't load \pkg{amsmath} directly, instead get it by loading +\pkg{mathtools}\texdoc{mathtools} for some useful improvements, +and +(4)~load \pkg{amsthm} after \pkg{mathtools}. + +Also, include +\pkg{microtype}.\texdoc{microtype} +It will make +your document have fewer awkward lines. + + + +\subsection{Inside a document} +Tweak the layout of lists with \pkg{enumitem}.\texdoc{enumitem} + +Enhance captions with +\pkg{caption}\texdoc{caption} +and control floating environments with +\pkg{float}.\texdoc{float} +(In particular, this package provides the `\texttt{H}' option +to override automatic float placement and put something +exactly where you ask. +This may cause issues\Dash what if you want to include a two inch tall +graphic on a page that has only an inch left?\Dash but it sometimes +is what you want.) + +Get hyperlinks and turn references into links with +\pkg{hyperref}\texdoc{hyperref} +(make sure to set it up, +for example with \lstinline!\hypersetup{colorlinks=true}!). +Have cross-references that say `Theorem~1.2' instead of just `1.2' +with \pkg{cleveref}.\texdoc{cleveref} +For \acro{URL}'s and file paths that can break across lines, use +\pkg{url}.\texdoc{url} +(If you use \pkg{hyperref} then note that it has its own +commands for the \pkg{cleveref} and \pkg{url} functions.) + +Inside verbatim text, make single quotes come out correctly with +\pkg{upquote}.\texdoc{upquote} +For including computer code, the +\pkg{listings}\texdoc{listings} package is very popular. +% although \pkg{minted}\texdoc{minted} +% has many things to recommend it. +(Copy and paste for computer code is especially +convenient. +This is a start for the \pkg{listings} package. +\begin{lstlisting} +\lstset{basicstyle=\ttfamily, + keepspaces=true, + columns=fullflexible} +\end{lstlisting} +But it is not a full solution. +The results depend on the \PDF{} viewer and +worse, if your code line begins with +blank spaces then after copy and paste those spaces are gone.) + +If you use Python, +\pkg{pythontex}\texdoc{pythontex} +will show code listings, but it also allows you to execute +Python and put the results in your output. +Do the same for +the \textit{Sage} mathematics software with +\pkg{sagetex}, % \texdoc{sagetex}? not in TL +and similar support exists for other languages. + +There are many packages that add table capabilities, such as +multirow entries and breaking across pages. +The first package to try is \pkg{array},\texdoc{array} +which lets you define your own column +types. +To handle scientific units, +use \pkg{siunitx}\texdoc{siunitx} +(which also has a table column type for aligning on a decimal point). + +Make boxes that are colored or framed, such as boxes for theorems, +with +\pkg{tcolorbox}.\texdoc{tcolorbox} + +Use \pkg{babel}\texdoc{babel} +for internationalization, including changing the +title of the abstract or the bibliography. +(Note that \LaTeX{} now defaults to UTF-8 encoded input.) + +Finally, when developing a document, you often want to +generate filler text. +Use +\pkg{lipsum}.\texdoc{lipsum} + + + +\subsection{Color and graphics} +For colors, use +\pkg{xcolor}.\texdoc{xcolor} + +To include graphics and do simple manipulations such as resizing, +use \pkg{graphicx}.\texdoc{graphics} +Use the \acro{JPG} format for photos, +\acro{PNG} for other kinds of raster graphics, +and \PDF{} for vector graphics. +If your graphic is in another format then convert it to one of these three. +(Usually in your \LaTeX{} source, you give the file name without the extension, +as with \lstinline!\includegraphics{myplot}!.) +Include parts of an outside \PDF{} document with +\pkg{pdfpages}.\texdoc{pdfpages} +Include video or sound using +\pkg{media9}.\texdoc{media9} + +In your plots and graphics, you want that +the fonts and notations match your document. +You have a few choices. +Draw inside your document with +\href{https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf}{\TikZ}.\texdoc{tikz} +You can instead draw using an external command language such as +\href{https://asymptote.sourceforge.io/}{\Asymptote{}},\texdoc{asymptote} +and bring the results in as graphics. +And there are other options, such as that the +\href{http://www.gnuplot.info/}{\gnuplot{}} plotting software +will output \TikZ{} commands, +and the +\href{https://inkscape.org/}{Inkscape} vector graphics editor allows +you to embed \LaTeX{}-generated equations. + + +\subsection{Front and back matter, headers, footers} +To style chapter and section titles, use +\pkg{titlesec}.\texdoc{titlesec} +For page headers and footers, reach for +\pkg{fancyhdr}.\texdoc{fancyhdr} +You can tweak the format of tables of contents, lists of figures, etc., +with +\pkg{tocloft}.\texdoc{tocloft} + +For footnotes, use +\pkg{footmisc}.\texdoc{footmisc} +Make an index with +\pkg{makeindex}.\texdoc{makeindex} +With \pkg{answers}\texdoc{answers} +you can send exercise answers to an external file, where you can make them +a separate document or include them at the end of the current one. + +Bibliographies are a thorny area. +Often you have strict requirements, such as from the +\pkg{MLA}.\texdoc{mla} +\CTAN{} is a big help here; check out the many styles for both +\href{https://ctan.org/topic/bibtex-sty}{\BibTeX}\texdoc{bibtex} +and +\href{https://ctan.org/topic/biblatex}{\BibLaTeX}.\texdoc{biblatex} + + + + +\subsection{Special documents} +Make exams and problem sets with the +\pkg{exam}\texdoc{exam} +class. + +There are many, many resume and CV packages. +Start with \acro{CTAN}'s +\href{https://ctan.org/topic/cv}{cv topic}. + +To make presentations, use the +\pkg{beamer}\texdoc{beamer} +class. +(However, with this package you are entering another world, where many of the +packages discussed here do not work. +For example, section title styling happens via a completely +different mechanism.) + + +%
