Summary description: Directory tree rendering for LaTeX with TikZ
Announcement text:
Version 1.0 of dirtreex is released. This new LaTeX package typesets directory trees inside optionally breakable, fully styleable frames, making it an ideal tool for illustrating computer file system structures in scientific papers and technical documentation. Built entirely on TikZ and zref, dirtreex seamlessly spans multiple pages while preserving connector alignment and background continuity. Key features include automatic nesting depth tracking, configurable sharp or rounded connection lines, and per-entry styling overrides (such as branch-specific colors or widths). The package is completely self-contained and operates natively without requiring shell-escape, tcolorbox, or external scripts.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/dirtreex More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/dirtreex

dirtreex – Directory tree rendering for LaTeX with TikZ
This package provides a self-contained tool for rendering directory trees in an optionally breakable, fully styleable frame. Built directly on TikZ and zref, it works natively without requiring tcolorbox, dirtree, shell escape, or external scripts.
Its main features include automatically tracked depth, so that \dir and \file commands can be nested naturally; breakable frames whose borders, background, and vertical connection lines continue across page boundaries; extensive customization with per-tree and per-entry settings for line colors, line widths, and elbow radii; and CJK-friendly operation with ctex and LuaTeX.
