Compile your documents in a breeze.
arara is a TeX automation tool based on rules and directives. It gives you a way to enhance your TeX experience. The tool is an effort to provide a concise way to automate the daily TeX workflow for users and also package writers. Users might write their own rules when the provided ones do not suffice.
Find your favorite unicode characters in fonts.
Albatross is a command line tool for finding fonts that contain a given Unicode glyph. It relies on Fontconfig, a library for configuring and customizing font access. The tool takes a list of glyphs as input (three formats are supported). It is worth noting that the tool also provides proper grapheme support.
Power documentation search like texdoc.org.
TeXdoc online is an online TeX and LaTeX documentation lookup system. It provides a RESTful API and a self-updating Docker container. The package documentation lookup relies on the Island's TeXdoc API. For topic and package listings, as well as recommendations, the system relies on the CTAN JSON API.
Detect undefined and/or unused references.
checkcites is a
command line tool written for the sole purpose of detecting undefined and/or
unused references from both LaTeX auxiliary or bibliography files. The tool
currently supports both bibtex and biber backends
and uses the generated auxiliary files to start the analysis.
Create flexible TeX templates.
TeXplate is a tool for creating document structures based on templates. One can easily extrapolate the use beyond articles and theses: the tool is powerful enough to generate any text-based structure, given that a corresponding template exists.
TeX Live or ConTeXt standalone through Docker.
With the spread of continuous integration services among TeX users, there is a need to provide distributions for containerized services. We aim to provide images for the regular user who wants continuous integration to work like any other TeX distro.
