##### Section D CTAN Edition

Welcome to the XML based and XSL generated version of The TeX Catalogue Online, Section D CTAN Edition. This is a listing of entries in the TeX Catalogue and may take a little time to load, but is hopefully worth it. Have a look at the Catalogue Preface for alternative ways of accessing the catalogue.

The TeX Catalogue Online is also available from any CTAN node or mirror, including the following. Pick one that is close to you. (The "search" link attempts to find a CTAN node that may be close to you, courtesy of Randy Kobes. Multiple clicks may find alternatives.)

search | aarnet | switch | cstug | dante | loria | tex | roma | riken | gust | rge | ctan

Icons associated with many entries in the catalogue allow you to:

- view the directory on CTAN
- view documentation (possibly many)
- view documentation in PDF format (requires the acroread plugin)
- jump to the package's home page
- download a gzip'd tar file from a nearby CTAN node (not supported by all nodes)
- download a gzip'd tar file from ftp.dante.de

Other icons simply provide further information about the package:

- part of the teTeX distribution
- available on the TeX Live CD ROM
