AUCTeX is an extensible package for writing and formatting TeX files in GNU Emacs and XEmacs.
Main features:
Editing:
- Insert macros, environments and headings with a simple key stroke or via a menu entry. AUCTeX will help you by prompting for parameters in case of known macros and environments. There is a completion mechanism for partially written macros available as well.
- Use keyboard shortcuts for inserting math.
- Sophisticated fontification and indentation of TeX/LaTeX macros and environments.
- Fold macros and environments and show their contents or a pre-defined string instead. You can temporarily show the folded content again for editing.
Compiling:
- Run various TeX/LaTeX interpreters and related programs like BibTeX or makeindex from within Emacs.
- View errors of the compiler run and jump to the respective place in the TeX/LaTeX source code.
Viewing:
- Start viewers for DVI, PostScript and PDF output from within Emacs.
- Use forward and inverse search with DVI viewers.
Extensibility and customizability:
- Support for macros and environments of many TeX/LaTeX packages with the use of style files.
- Easily extensible by writing your own style files.
- Many aspects of AUCTeX can be adapted to fit your personal working style via the customize mechanism provided by Emacs.
Enhancements:
- A new function TeX-doc for accessing docs on C-c ?.
- New "Clean" and "Clean All" commands for intermediate and output files. pdfsync support (forward search in PDF files).
- LaTeX comes with its own toolbar enabled by default.
- Some bugs have been fixed.

TeX::Hyphen is a Perl module to hyphenate words using TeXs patterns.

SYNOPSIS

use TeX::Hyphen;
my $hyp = new TeX::Hyphen file => hyphen.tex,
style => czech, leftmin => 2,
rightmin => 2;

# my $hyp = new TeX::Hyphen "hyphen.tex";

my $word = "representation";
my @points = $hyp->hyphenate($word);
print $hyp->visualize($word), "n";

Constructor new() creates a new Hyphen object and loads the file with patterns into memory. Then you can ask it for hyphenation of a word by calling a method of this object. If no file is specified, the default Donald E. Knuths hyphen.tex, that is included in this module, is used instead.

Arguments to constructor

You can pass arguments to the new() call as hash, possible options are
file

Name of the file with the patters. It will be loaded and the resulting object will be able to hyphenate according to patterns in that file.

For convenience and backward compatibility, the file name can also be specified as the first (odd) parameter to new().

style

Various languages use special shortcuts to specify the patterns. Instead of doing the full TeX expansion, we use Perl code to parse the patterns. The style option loads TeX::Hyphen::name_of_the_style module and uses the parsing functions found in it.

Currently, the default czech (which also works for English alright) and german are available. See the TeX::Hyphen::czech man page for more information, especially if you want to support other languages/styles.

leftmin

The minimum starting substring which will not be hyphenated. This overrides the default specified in the style file.

rightmin

The minimum ending substring which will not be hyphenated. This overrides the default specified in the style file.

Methods that are supported

Method hyphenate() returns list of places where the word can be divided, so

$hyp->visualize(representation)

returns list (3, 5, 8, 10).

Method visualize() can be used to show these points, so

$hyp->visualize(representation)

should return rep-re-sen-ta-tion, at least for English patterns.

Variables $TeX::Hyphen::LEFTMIN and $TeX::Hyphen::RIGHTMIN can be used to restrict minimal starting and ending substring where it is not possible to hyphenate. They both default to 2 but should be changed to match the paratemers used to generate the patterns.

Variable $TeX::Hyphen::DEBUG can be set to see some statistics and processing.

The file with hyphenation patterns may contain and v accents, used in the Czech (and other) languages.

Pod::LaTeX is a Perl module to convert Pod data to formatted Latex.

SYNOPSIS

use Pod::LaTeX;
my $parser = Pod::LaTeX->new ( );

$parser->parse_from_filehandle;

$parser->parse_from_file (file.pod, file.tex);

Pod::LaTeX is a module to convert documentation in the Pod format into Latex. The pod2latex command uses this module for translation.

Pod::LaTeX is a derived class from Pod::Select.

LaTeX::Table is a Perl module that provides functionality for an intuitive generation of LaTeX tables for reports or theses.

LaTeX::Table ships with some predefined, good-looking table styles, and supports multipage tables via the xtab package.

Installation:

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Alternatively, to install with Module::Build, you can use the following
commands:

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

Now start the script generate_examples.pl in the examples directory of this
distibution.

perl generate_examples.pl

This script generates some LaTeX files with some example tables. Now please compile these examples with LaTeX and check if all tables look ok:

latex examples.tex
xdvi examples.dvi

Text::Graphics is a text graphics rendering toolkit.

This is a toolkit for rendering plain text via an API like that used for graphics rendering in GUI toolkits. This package might be used when you want to do sophisticated rendering of plain text, e.g., for graphing, creating of complex forms for email and fax, and so on.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Graphics;
my $text = "A text graphics rendering toolkit.n";
my $page = Text::Graphics::Page->new( 20, 10);
my $panel0 = Text::Graphics::BorderedPanel->new( 20, 10);
my $panel1 =
Text::Graphics::FilledBorderedTextPanel->new($text x 3, 25, 12);
$panel0->setBackground("#");
$panel1->setBackground(" ");
$page->add($panel0);
$page->add($panel1, 5, 2);
$page->render();

DocBook to LaTeX/ConTeXt Publishing project is splitted in two instances working on the same principles. Both instances are intended to produce DVI, PostScript, PDF documents from DocBook SGML or XML sources, by converting first to a high level set of TeX macros.

Even if close, each instance is provided as an independent package and works alone. The available instances are:

dblatex

Publishing is done by using LaTeX.

dbcontext

Publishing is done by using ConTeXt.
