AUCTeX
'AUCTeX' is a package for writing and formatting TeX files in GNU Emacs and XEmacs. It supports various TeX macro packages including AMS-TeX, LaTeX, Texinfo, ConTeXt, and docTeX (short for writing LaTeX packages with the doc style or the ltxdoc class). AUC TeX lets you run TeX/LaTeX and other LaTeX-related tools, such as a output filters or post processor, from inside Emacs. You can browse through the errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular error. This works even if the document is spread over several files. AUCTeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you write it -- you can also let it indent and format an entire document. It has a special outline feature, which helps you to get an overview of a document. It also provides a large range of Emacs macros.
ChkTeX ChkTeX checks for various syntactic, semantic and typographical errors in LaTeX documents, and helps the writer stay focused on the content rather than presentation or syntax of commands.
Cpp2latex 'cpp2latex' converts C++ into LaTeX either for including into existing LaTeX documents or as standalone documents. The current version (2.0) supports syntax highlighting.
Csv2latex 'csv2latex' is a file format converter that converts a well formed CSV file (like the ones exported from OpenOffice.org) to the LaTeX document format.
DHEX 'dhex' is an ncurses-based hex-editor with a diff mode. It makes heavy use of colors, but is also themeable to work on monochrome monitors. It includes the Action Cartridge Search Algorithm to find specific changes.
Docutils Docutils is a text processing system for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX. It includes reStructuredText, the easy to read, easy to use, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language.
Dot2Tex The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by the graph layout tool Graphviz, a more LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by:
- Using native PSTricks and PGF/TikZ commands for drawing arrows, edges and nodes.
- Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation.
- Using backend specific styles to customize the output.
- Dot2tex can also automatically adjust the size of nodes and edge labels to fit the output from LaTeX.
Dvipng 'dvipng' makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. It is the fastest bitmap-rendering code for DVI files; on a fairly low-end laptop, it takes less than a second to generate 150 one-formula images. Furthermore, it does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. There is a -follow switch that makes dvipng wait at EOF for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI. It supports PK and VF fonts, color specials, and more.
EPiX 'ePiX', a collection of batch programs, creates mathematically accurate fgures, plots, and animations containing LaTeX typography. The input syntac is easy to learn. The output -- vector image files or LaTeX picture-like environments -- is expressly designed for use with LaTeX.
Fig2ps 'fig2ps' converts xfig files to PS or PDF, processing text using LaTeX. It is intended to help typeset good quality documents, where the font on the pictures is exactly the same as the font in the text. You compile the picture only once and not every time you compile your LaTeX file (as with other xfig exporters such as eepic); this makes it much faster with complex pictures. It should work with LyX.
Glatex glatex is a small program designed to help you to edit your LaTeX document files (sources, styles, bibliography, figures, postscript images, etc.). It maintains a list of all your editable files in order to allow you to edit them quickly. But you can also launch the compilator, viewer, and print commands, and it allows you to have document templates for creating new projects. It is not intended to manage the files themselves. For example, if you move a file from one directory to another, you'll have to remove it from the list and re-add it from its new location.
Gummi Gummi is a lightweight LaTeX editor written in Python/GTK+.
Highlight Highlight is a universal source code to HTML, XHTML, RTF, TeX, or LaTeX converter. (X)HTML output is formatted by Cascading Style Sheets. It supports Bash, C, C++, C#, COBOL, Java, Perl, PHP, and 40 more programming and markup languages. It is also possible to easily enhance the parsing database.
L2P 'L2P' creates PNG images from LaTeX math expressions. It can work with either a fragment of LaTeX code (such as $\frac{x^2+1}{3-x}$) or with a full LaTeX document. It is designed to be fast, robust, and to offer the user a high degree of flexibility and control. It includes complete documentation.
LaTeX CD class This class allows one to print CD covers using LaTeX. Its main features are easy batch printing with crop marks and track number generation.
Latex4jed 'latex4jed' is an S-Lang file for the Jed editor which provides a greatly enhanced LaTeX mode designed with both the beginner and the advanced LaTeX user in mind. Its features include menus, shortcuts, templates, syntax highlighting, document outlines, integrated debugging, symbol completion, full integration with external programs, and more.
LatexB LatexB is a very simple LaTeX building script. It lets you properly build a LaTeX file to either a dvi or pdf in one single command. It can also handle BibTeX.
OOoLatexEquation OOoLatexEquation is an OpenOffice macro for manipulating LaTeX equations. It lets you create equations and insert them into OOWriter and OOImpress documents as PNG, EPS, and EMF images; the LateX characteristics are saved in the image attributes. The equations are created and edited through an intuitive GUI. OOoLatexEquation supports an inline mode as in TexPoint which expands simple latex code into appropriate characters using specific TrueType fonts.
PDFjam.txt 'PDFjam' is a small collection of shell scripts that provide a simple interface to some of the functionality of the pdfpages package for pdfLaTeX. The utilities available are pdfnup, pdfjoin, and pdf90. 'pdfnup' puts multiple document pages together on one physical page at a reduced size, 'pdfjoin' concatenates multiple PDF documents, and 'pdf90' rotates the pages of PDF documents.
PDFrecycle pdfrecycle creates a PDF file by composing pages from other PDF files. It lets you define PDF bookmarks, scale and rotate pages, put multiple logical pages onto each physical sheet and add metadata. pdfrecycle uses a simple text file format to define the layout and what pages to include. From this input file pdfrecycle creates a LaTeX file and then runs pdflatex to produced the PDF file.
