Section N CTAN Edition

Welcome to the XML based and XSL generated version of The TeX Catalogue Online, Section N 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.)

Icons associated with many entries in the catalogue allow you to:

• view the directory on CTAN
• view documentation (possibly many)
• view documentation in PDF format (requires the acroread plugin)
• jump to the package's home page
• download a gzip'd tar file from a nearby CTAN node (not supported by all nodes)
• download a gzip'd tar file from ftp.dante.de

Other icons simply provide further information about the package:

• part of the teTeX distribution
• available on the TeX Live CD ROM

The license type, version (if known), and the date of the last change made to each particular Catalogue entry are also provided.

nassflow	Drawing Nassi-Schneidermann diagrams.
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

natbib	Bibliography style with author-year and numbered references.
		license: lppl version: 6.9a (1999/05/21)

nb4latex	No caption.
	A program to convert NotaBene4 (including ancient Greek and all the symbols of logic) files to LaTeX format. With this conversion program and its utilities, you can use NotaBene for editing (seeing all the accents, the Greek chars, etc.) and, at the very final stage of document preparation, convert it to LaTeX.
		license: unknown (1996/11/21)

nccfoots	No caption.
	Implements commands for generating footnotes marked by hands. For example, to mark a footnote by a star you can write \Footnote{*}{Footnote text}.
		license: unknown (1998/12/28)

ncctools	No caption.
	Various LaTeX packages written and supported by Alexander Rozhenko.
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

netpbm-win	MS-Windows port of the netpbm graphics suite.
	These are tools to convert between various graphics formats.
		license: unknown (1998/09/10)

newalg	Format algorithms like Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest.
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

newclude	New \include system for LaTeX.
	New \include system for LaTeX. A LaTeX package providing a backwards-compatible reimplementation of \include and \includeonly. The restriction that \clearpages must surround an included file are removed, as is the restriction that \includes cannot be nested. An optional argument to \include is executed before the included file, whenever it is processed. This package is useful but may have problems and is unsupported. Newclude and includex are both attempts to provide similar features. Newclude is more ambitious, but includex is still more successful in certain ways. See also moredefs
		license: gpl version: 1.0, 1996/01/24 (1999/03/10)

newlfm	Write letters, facsimilies, and memos.
	For writing letters, fax, and memos, this class sets up an address book using ``wrapper'' macros. You put all the information for a person into a wrapper and then put the wrapper in a document. The class handles letterheads automatically. You place the object for the letterhead (picture, information, etc.) in a box and all sizing is set automatically.
		license: gpl version: 1.4 (1999/05/07)

newsletr	Macros for making newsletters.
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

newthm	No caption.
	A modified version of the theorem-style which provides generation of lists of theorems. This has been superseded by ntheorem .
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

niceframe	Support for fancy framing of pages.
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

nomencl	Nomenclature.
	Produces lists of symbols using the capabilities of the MakeIndex program. See also glosstex
		license: lppl version: 2.7 (1999/04/17)

nopageno	No page numbers in LaTeX documents.
	LaTeX's standard styles use two page styles, one on normal pages and one on `opening' pages with \maketitle or \chapter etc. Unfortunately there is only easy access to changing one of these two so if you want something other than `plain' on the opening pages you must use \thispagestyle on each such page. The fancyhdr package does provide a more flexible interface, but if you just want an empty page style on all pages then this package will do the job.
		license: lppl version: 1989/01/01 (1999/04/15)

norbib	No caption.
	Norwegian adaptions of the four standard BibTeX style files.
		license: unknown (1998/07/2)

nrc	Format of the NRC Canadian Journal of Physics.
		license: unknown (1999/03/03)

ntemacs	A distribution of Emacs for MS-Windows32 machines.
	Emacs with the auctex mode installed and running miktex is perhaps the best TeX/LaTeX environment for MS-Windows32 (MS-Windows95/98 and MS-WindowsNT) bound users. See also winedt
		license: unknown (1998/10/19)

ntg	Dutch TeX Users Group information.
