The tocdata package may be used to add a small amount of data to an

an author or artist of a chapter or section, such as in an anthology or
a collection of papers.
Additionally, user-level macros are provided which add the author's
name to a chapter or section, along with an optional prefix and/or
suffix, and add to a figure the artist's name, prefix, and suffix, plus
optional additional text. Author and artist names are also added to
the index. Additional user-level macros control formatting.

parnotes rev. 2
* BREAKING CHANGE: You can no longer redefine parnotemarkfmt. Use
heparnotemark and parnotecusmarkfmt instead. See the manual for
details.
* Bug fix: parnotefmt no longer changes the font to
mfamily by
default.
* parnote now has an optional argument: a manually-specified parnote
mark.
* parnote now behaves more like footnote:
* It respects spacefactor
* It no longer inserts unskip
* The parnote mark counter may be reset using standard LaTeX macros,
e.g., setcounter{parnotemark}{5}
* label now works within parnote text;
ef returns the parnote label,
pageref returns the page where the note text is set, and
parnoteref returns the parnote label formatted as a mark.
* Implemented the system for separators between multiple footnotes from
footmisc and manyfoot and added package option nomultiple to
disable.
* Internal: The package now uses a single counter (c@parnotemark) for
marks.

The new 'binarytree' package provides an easy but flexible way to draw

externalization of the rest of the TikZ figures in the document. There
is an option to use automatic file naming: useful if the trees are
often moved around.
