Various packages...
A few bits of work that may be of some use to others.
I also do consulting on LaTeX
packages and BibTeX style files, and on Arduino work.
Current
The software below is in distributed under either the
2-clause BSD licence,
or the GPLv2 (mostly older projects).
I don't, however, have particularly strong
commitments to either licence, ideological or otherwise,
and if you have some need for a distribution under another licence,
I might not take much persuading.
All the projects below are ‘stable’, except where I've noted
otherwise. That means that I believe they work pretty reliably, and
I'm interested in bug-reports (a code repository issues list is best,
or just email me), without necessarily making promises about timescales.
Other packages are ‘experimental’ – I'm interested
in talking about these, but you shouldn't expect too much.
- exam-n
LaTeX support for exams
- LaTeX class file for exams, focused on the careful collaborative
process of assembling an exam. Many of the features are to do with
checks to avoid mistakes.
I also provide commercial support
for this class.
- versonotes
place notes on the verso page of a document
LPPL
- This package allows you to place notes on the verso pages of an
otherwise single-sided document.
If, in the run of text, you include a call to the macro
\versonote{This is a remark}, then that text will be
placed on the opposite (ie, ‘verso’) page, lined up with the macro
call.
- showlabels
show labels in a document
LPPL
- Put the names of
\label and other commands into the
margins of a draft document.
- textpos
position text on the page
LPPL
- Lay out text and graphics at arbitrary positions on the LaTeX page.
This helps when producing a large-format conference poster, or when placing
material within, say, figures.
- feyn
Feynman diagram font
- A package of fonts for producing relatively simple Feynman
diagrams, primarily for use within equations. The diagrams are
generated using a font, rather than by generating images.
- urlbst
Add webpage fields to .bst files
- A script to edit BibTeX
.bst files, to add support for
general url and lastchecked fields.
Optionally adds basic support for eprint,
doi and pubmed
fields, and hypertex/hyperref support.
- supplements
Split a complex LaTeX document into separate
pieces
showing its age; use thoughtfully
- This allows a possibly complex LaTeX document to be split amongst
several input files, which are LaTeXed independently,
whilst still synchronising counters, cross-references, and so on.
- bibhtml
HTML bibliographies from BibTeX
- A set of BibTeX styles, for generating bibliographies as HTML.
There are other repositories pointed to from
my distribution page;
these pages will probably move here... shortly.
