Showcase

This lesson shows assorted examples of other popular LaTeX packages that were not covered in the main lessons.

This course has given an overview of the core features of LaTeX. LaTeX has vast array of extension packages and is used in many subject areas. We give here some examples, with no explanation here but links to the package documentation at texdoc.org. The examples are taken from the package documentation unless otherwise noted.

Note that inclusion here is not intended as an endorsement of the package over other similar packages, we just aim for a small sample showing a range of areas not otherwise covered in this course.
