Summary description: Create thumb indexes
Announcement text:
Provided alt-text for the used picture-environments for compatibility with tagging. (But the crop package seems to have issues when tagging: https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project/issues/341 ). Package kvoptions is no longer in direct use, but the required rerunfilecheck package loads it. Cleaned up the index in the documentation.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/thumbs More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/thumbs
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

thumbs – Create thumb indexes
The package puts running, customizable thumb marks in the outer margin, moving downward as the chapter number (or whatever shall be marked by the thumb marks) increases. Additionally an overview page/table of thumb marks can be added automatically, which gives the names of the thumbed objects, the page where the object/thumb mark first appears, and the thumb mark itself at its correct position. The thumb marks are useful for large documents (such as reference guides, anthologies, etc.), where a quick and easy way to find (for example) a chapter is needed.
