# The `ProjLib` Toolkit > **This bundle is dated 2024/03/01.** > **New documentations are still being written. For now, only the core code is included in TeX Live 2024 and MiKTeX (old documentations have been removed from the distribution).** ## Introduction > **ProjLib** can be interpreted as "***Proj**ect **Lib**rary*" (in English), or as "***Proj**et **Lib**re*" (in French, meaning "*Free Project*"). `ProjLib` is a collection of tools that help you write LaTeX document. With the main package `ProjLib` loaded (note that it is *case-sensitive*), you no longer need to manually configure the appropriate multilingual settings nor to set up the theorem-like environments. In addition, a series of auxiliary functionalities are introduced. To get started, simply put this line in your preamble: ```latex \usepackage{ProjLib} ``` > For the options and detailed usage, please refer to the documentation. ## The modules > Each module corresponds to a separate package, for example, the module `theorem` is `projlib-theorem.sty`. These modules are managed by the main package `ProjLib.sty`. The modules include: 1. module `author` - *Enhanced author information block* - Offering `\address`, `\curraddr` and `\email`, etc. - Allow writing in the AMS fashion (with option `ams-fashion`): - support `\dedicatory`, `\keywords` and `\subjclass`; - `\thanks` can be written outside `\author`; - the `abstract` environment can be placed before `\maketitle`. 1. module `datetime` - *Convert numeric date-time string to natural language* - `\TheDate` and `\Thedate` for converting numeric date-time string to natural language, with multi-language support (if the command names `\TheDate` or `\Thedate` are occupied, then one can switch to the longer version `\ProjLibDate` and `\ProjLibdate`). - `\ProjLibToday` and `\ProjLibToday` (with the module `language` enabled, `\today` is redefined into `\ProjLibToday`, and thus supports additional arguments like `only-year-month`). - Multiple input and output format available. 1. module `draft` - *Useful commands during draft stage* - `\DNF` for marking unfinished part. In addition, a report of all unfinished places shall be printed at the last of your document. - Reimplemented `\blindtext` to support more languages. 1. module `font` - *Font selection and configuration* - Supporting New Computer Modern / Latin Modern, Palatino, Times, Garamond, Bembo, Biolinum, Noto, etc. 1. module `language` - *Multi-language configuration* - `\UseLanguage`, `\UseOtherLanguage` for selecting languages, and `\AddLanguageSetting` for adding language-specific settings. - `\DefineMultilingualText` for defining multilingual text strings. - Currently support Chinese (simplified and traditional), English, French, German, Italien, Japanese, Portuguese (European and Brazilian), Russian and Spanish. 1. module `logo` - *The ProjLib logo* - Draw the `ProjLib` logo in colorful or colorless fashion. 1. module `math` - *Efficient math setup* - `\DefineOperator` and `\DefineShortcut` for setting up math macros efficiently. - `\ListOfSymbols` for printing list of symbols. 1. module `paper` - *Configuration of the paper style* - Paper style configuration, with the themes `light yellow`, `yellow`, `green`, `light gray`, `gray`, `dark`, etc. 1. module `text` - *Text-related commands* - Provide a few useful commands such as `\ie`, `\eg`, `\cf`, `\etc` ; and if you have your own version defined, they won't interfere with your definition. - `\ItemDescription` for writing leading description to items in `itemize` or `enumerate`. 1. module `theorem` - *Configuration of theorem-like environments* - Setting up theorem-like environments based on the package `create-theorem` - `\CreateTheorem`, `\SetTheorem` and more... - In particular, supporting the modes `name as is` and `name as context` for the referencing names. - Offering two modes `complex names` (default) and `simple names` (better visual effect but less correct grammar) for the referencing names of those supported theorem-like environments. - `\SwitchTheoremNumbering` and `\DisableTheoremNumbering` for manipulating the numbering. - Preset environments include: `application`, `assertion`, `assumption`, `axiom`, `claim`, `commentary`, `conclusion`, `conjecture`, `construction`, `convention`, `corollary`, `definition`, `definition-proposition`, `definition-theorem`, `example`, `exercise`, `fact`, `hypothesis`, `lemma`, `motivation`, `notation`, `observation`, `postulate`, `problem`, `property`, `proposition`, `question`, `recall`, `remark`, `theorem`, their plural version (among the most commonly used are `examples`, `facts` and `notations`), and the corresponding unnumbered version with an asterisk `*` in the name. 1. module `titlepage` - *Interface for title page rendering* - Currently support four title page styles: `default`, `academic`, `simple` and `fancy`. > Since the module `theorem` uses `cleveref`, it should be loaded after `varioref` and `hyperref` (same for the main package `ProjLib`). > Package dependencies: > - module `author`: [`regexpatch`](https://ctan.org/pkg/regexpatch), [`scontents`](https://ctan.org/pkg/scontents); it loads the module `language` internally. > - module `datetime`: [`relsize`](https://ctan.org/pkg/relsize). > - module `draft`: [`pgf`](https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf), [`ulem`](https://ctan.org/pkg/ulem); it loads the module `language` internally. > - module `font`: [`anyfontsize`](https://ctan.org/pkg/anyfontsize), [`microtype`](https://ctan.org/pkg/microtype), [`setspaceenhanced`](https://ctan.org/pkg/setspaceenhanced), and a number of font packages depending on the specified option. > - module `language`: [`babel`](https://ctan.org/pkg/babel), [`csquotes`](https://ctan.org/pkg/csquotes), [`setspaceenhanced`](https://ctan.org/pkg/setspaceenhanced), [`silence`](https://ctan.org/pkg/silence). > - module `logo`: [`pgf`](https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf). > - module `math`: [`amsfonts`](https://ctan.org/pkg/amsfonts), [`mathrsfs`](https://ctan.org/pkg/mathrsfs), [`mathtools`](https://ctan.org/pkg/mathtools). > - module `paper`: [`xcolor`](https://ctan.org/pkg/xcolor). > - module `text`: it loads the module `paper` internally. > - module `theorem`: [`amsthm`](https://ctan.org/pkg/amsthm), [`create-theorem`](https://ctan.org/pkg/create-theorem), [`mathtools`](https://ctan.org/pkg/mathtools), [`silence`](https://ctan.org/pkg/silence); it loads the module `language` internally. > - module `titlepage`: [`pgf`](https://ctan.org/pkg/pgf); it loads the modules `logo` and `paper` internally. ### How to get these files You can get the `.sty` files mentioned above by compiling `ProjLib.ins`: ``` latex ProjLib.ins ``` ## License This work is released under the LaTeX Project Public License, v1.3c or later.
