The LaTeX tools bundle

Release 2024-11-01 pre-release 4

Overview

This bundle consists of packages providing a range of basic tools for LaTeX users. It is a required part of a LaTeX installation.

Installation

We no longer distribute installation instructions for the various TeX implementations. All modern TeX systems include tools as-standard, and end users should in general use the release versions supplied in this way.

Release distribution is carried out only through the CTAN archives.

Reporting Bugs

If you wish to report a problem or bug in the tools bundle please use the Issue Tracker for LaTeX2ε on GitHub and follow the guidelines that pop up if you press the "New issue" button.

In particular, to check that you are really seeing a bug, please write a short, self-contained document that shows the problem. This should include the latexbug package, which will warn if your test file is not suitable for one or the other reason. See the CONTRIBUTING guide for further details, or if you need to obtain the latexbug package.

If the bug turns out to be with third-party software then please contact the developer, and not us!
