a0poster Provides fonts in sizes of 12pt up to 107pt.
Provides fonts in sizes of 12pt up to 107pt and also makes sure
that in math formulas the symbols appear in the right size. Can
also creates a PostScript header file for dvips which ensures
that the poster will be printed in the right size. Supported
sizes are DIN A0, DIN A1, DIN A2 and DIN A3.
------------------------------------------------------------------
a2ac AFM to AFM plus Composites.
Enables the use os PostScript fonts while typesetting texts in
languages where accented letters are used. The font doesn't need
to contain the complete alphabet of a given language; the
presence of mere accents themselves (no whole accented
characters) is sufficient. The configuration files of the a2ac
program are independent on the PostScript font encoding and on
the typesetting system encoding. The program may be used to
prepare a font for any typesetting system, especially TeX.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
a4 Support for A4 paper sizes.
Provides support for A4 paper sizes, however it is mostly superseded
by the a4paper option of LaTeX and by the geometry package. It does,
however also define the extra option of widemargins. See also

Also includes a facility for suffixes like 1900\BC and 6:00\PM
which correctly handles following periods. See also moredefs

--------------------------------------------------------------------
abc2mtex Notate tunes stored in abc notation.
A package to notate tunes stored in an ascii format (abc

computer-readable musical languages is that it can be easily
read by humans. The package produces files that can be
processed with MusicTeX .

acroread View pdf formatted files.
Acrobat (acroread) is a tool from Adobe for reading Adobe
PDF files. It is available for a variety of architectures,
and can be used as a plugin for Netscape. Adobe's distill
(you have to buy that one) can be used to produce PDF files
from PostScript. This provides a very useful way of
accessing PostScript documents on the Web since PDF
compresses the document internally. Best to use PostScript
fonts in your LaTeX documents to make the most of it
though. See also acrotex

----------------------------------------------------------------
ae No caption.
A set of virtual fonts which emulates T1 coded fonts using the
standard CM fonts. The package is called AE fonts (for Almost
European). The main use of the package is to produce PDF files
using versions of the CM fonts instead of the bitmapped EC fonts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
afterpage Execute command after each page.
Implements a command that causes the commands specified in
its argument to be expanded after the curent page is output.
Useful to flush floats, for example. For example, LaTeX's
float positioning mechanism sometimes gets overloaded and all
floating figures and table drift to the end of the document.
One may flush out all the unprocessed floats by issuing a
\clearpage command, but this has the effect of making the
current page end prematurely. Now you can issue
\afterpage{\clearpage} and the current page will be filled up
with text as usual, but then a \clearpage| command will flush
out all the floats before the next text page begins.

different `topics' or bibliographic material into a document
(e.g., one bibliography for primary literature and one for
secondary literature). Provides commands to include either all
references from a .bib file, only the references actually cited
or those not cited in your document. You'll have to construct a
seperate .bib file for each bibliographic `topic', which will

per-chapter bibliographies in a document, have a look at the
packages bibunits or chapterbib instead.
------------------------------------------------------------------
bibunits Multiple bibliographies in one document.
A style to generate separate bibliographies for different units
(parts) of the text (chapters, sections or bibunit-environments).

database, it carries out those queries, and returns the answers
in BibTeX format. Included in the package are: the perl script
bibweb, documentation (in various formats), and a test file.

A package in its early stages of development which implements an
environment, blockarray, that may be used in the same way as the

blockarray acts like array, otherwise it acts like tabular. The
main feature of this style is that it uses a new method of

The following calculations are implemented: +, -, *, /, ^, exp,
log, ln, sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan. The output can be
formated and rounded. The program brclc is a preprocessor so it
must be run before you run LaTeX! It is recommended using a
shellscript like 'testclc' which does this for you. The new
command \clc{arg} is defined. The program brclc outputs a file

digits by default with the OT1 encoded Computer Modern Roman
upright founts. The eco package does the same job for the T1

Its purpose is to provide an alternative interface to the CM Sans
Serif boldface fonts. The EC (T1, Cork) encoded versions of the
`CM Sans Serif boldface extended' fonts differ considerably from

have thinner strokes and are much wider. At 25pt they are hardly
to be recognized as being `boldface'. This package attempts to
make these T1 fonts look like the traditional ones did. You do not
need any new fonts; the package just changes the way LaTeX makes
use of the current ones.

(1,28 Euro)' automatically. Conversion rates for the so-called
Euro-zone countries are already built-in. Further rates can be
added easily.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
eurofont Provides a command that prints a euro symbol.
The particular symbol printed by \euro will in general change
depending on the font family, weight, and shape in use at the
time. This symbol can come from any source, and the package user
has complete control over which euro symbol is used in any given
situation. The package is pre-configured to behave sensibly with
many common text fonts and available euro symbols. The \euro
command can print `faked' euro symbols from a C with two lines
across it when no suitable real euro symbol is available; the
package also includes code for printing fake bold euro symbols
for use when no real bold symbol exists, as well as
pre-configured support for a faked italic version of the marvosym
font. Eurofont comes set up to use euro symbols from Adobe's
Eurofonts, the marvosym font, the Eurosym font, and any available
Text Companion fonts. The selection between these can be done
using options passed to the package. The eurofont package knows
about the China2e font's euro symbol, and can be configured to
use it. See also eurosym marvosym
------------------------------------------------------------------
europs Access to Adobe's Euro currency symbol fonts.

LaTeX. The fonts are named using Karl Berry's naming scheme,
providing fd files and a style file to use the fonts directly,
and providing four macros: \EURtm, \EURhv, \EURcr and \EUR (from
marvosym ). The actual symbol they produce depends on the
currently active font, i.e., they follow font changes caused by
\text.. and other NFSS commands. The actual fonts are not
included as they have to be fetched from Adobe's web or ftp
server. See also eurosans eurosym marvosym
-----------------------------------------------------------------
eurosans Interface to Adobe's free Euro fonts.
Provides a convenient interface for using the free Adobe Type
1 PostScript Euro fonts. Loading the package defines a new
command \euro which typesets a Euro symbol. The symbol is
always taken from the `EuroSans' family, with the weight
(medium or boldface) and shape (normal or oblique) varying
according to the font currently selected. This Euro symbol
meets the official design and matches almost any font family
very well, except for typewriter fonts. The fonts comply with
the `Karl Berry' scheme and do the same job as the europs
fonts, although the TFM files differe slightly, probably
because of different translation programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------
eurosym No caption.
The new European currency symbol for the ``Euro'' implemented
in Metafont, using the official European Commission dimensions,
