Section M CTAN Edition
Welcome to the
XML based and XSL generated version of The TeX Catalogue Online, Section M CTAN Edition. This is a listing of entries in the TeX Catalogue and may take a little time to load, but is hopefully worth it. Have a look at the
Catalogue Preface
for alternative ways of accessing the catalogue.
The TeX Catalogue Online is also available from any CTAN node or mirror, including the following. Pick one that is close to you. (The "search" link attempts to find a CTAN node that may be close to you, courtesy of Randy Kobes. Multiple clicks may find alternatives.)

Implements a command, \newfootnote, that adds footnote levels to the standard LaTeX's footnote mechanism. Footnotes of every additional level are automatically grouped together on a LaTeX2e output page and are separated from another levels by the special vertical spaces. The command \newfootnote allows customisation of the way foonotes of additional level be represented in LaTeX2e documents. Two customisation styles are available now: the plain style is the ordinary LaTeX's style of footnote representation; the para style causes footnotes to be typeset as a run-in paragraph.

mathenv
|
Defines some often useful math-mode environments.
|
The ``Equation'' environment is defined as having an optional argument used as a label. The ``MultiLine'' environment is used for long formulas that don't fit on a single line, but no ampersand mark is needed, since all lines but the first are authomatically indented by a predefined amount of space. The ``System'' environment is for grouping a set of equations with one number and with an enclosing left brace. These two environments also have an optional argument used as a label. All the above environments have a *-form, which does not generate a number.
