New on CTAN: SimpleSystemTeX

KeXin Zhou submitted the SimpleSystemTeX package. Version: 1.0.0 2026-03-24 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: An automated file & block management system for large-scale LaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce the release of SimpleSystemTeX, a new LaTeX3 package designed to streamline the typesetting of large-scale documents. SimpleSystemTeX focuses on maximizing the separation of content and document structure. By utilizing an automated subfile-based section management system, it significantly reduces the maintenance burden for authors working on complex projects like books or theses. Its main features include: * Automated file importing and Table of Contents generation. * A robust “Block” system for unified management of mathematical environments (theorems, definitions, proofs, etc.). * Built-in dynamic cross-referencing without the need for manual anchor management. * Quick generation of categorized block indexes. * A powerful interface to deeply customize the styles of headings, links, blocks, and indexes using dynamic arguments and LaTeX3 conditionals. I hope this package proves useful to the TeX community, especially for those looking to focus purely on writing while the package handles the structural heavy lifting. Feedback and contributions are very welcome on the project’s GitHub repository. Best regards, JokerXin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/simplesystemtex The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/simplesystemtex/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
