Visit CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/ncctools/ Download from somewhere nearby (Search) Download from Dante

Implements a command, \newfootnote, that adds footnote levels to the standard LaTeX's footnote mechanism. Footnotes of every additional level are automatically grouped together on a LaTeX2e output page and are separated from another levels by the special vertical spaces.

Two customisation styles are available now: the plain style is the ordinary LaTeX's style of footnote representation; the para style causes footnotes to be typeset as a run-in paragraph.

Visit CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/bosisio/ Documentation Download from somewhere nearby (Search) Download from Dante

The ``MultiLine'' environment is used for long formulas that don't fit on a single line, but no ampersand mark is needed, since all lines but the first are authomatically indented by a predefined amount of space. The ``System'' environment is for grouping a set of equations with one number and with an enclosing left brace. These two environments also have an optional argument used as a label.
