Name of contribution: bracketkey
Version number: 1.0
Author's name: Christoph Heibl
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/
Summary description: A LaTeX class for producing bracketed identication keys
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The use of bracketkey is explained below. See also the example in
Malva.tex for how to use bracketkey.
1. Use egin{key}{<text>} and end{key} to define the
bracketkey environment.
2. The second argument of egin key can be used to pass
an abbreveated (genus) name to the 'name' command.
3. The two alternatives of each couplet are defined by:
leadONE{<backref>}{<text>} and
leadTWO{<text>}.
<backref> is an INT which refers to the previous couplet
number, in case that the current and the previouos couplet
numbers are not consecutive.
4. Each 'lead' command is followed by a 'name' command:
ame{<text>}{<text|INT>}{<text>}
<text> in the first argument is set in boldface. It can be used
for taxon ranks which do not require italized writing.
<text> in the second argument is set in italics. It typically
takes names of genus rank and below. Alternatively, <INT>
refers to the next couplet.
<text> in the third argument is set as is. It can be used to provide
authority names.

bakoma
package.
> -------------------- About BaKoMa TeX 9.0 ------------------
>
> BaKoMa TeX 9.0 supports two coexisting IDE:
> 1) BaKoMa TeX Word - True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
> 2) Text Editor + DVI Viewer - Classical IDE.
> They are high compatible, so that you can choose what to use
> depend on kind of a document or stage of work under a document.
>
> About BaKoMa TeX Word.
>
> BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
>
> The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts:
>
> 1) It is True WYSIWYG Editor.
> It means that display shows precisely the same what will be printed.
> It looks such that you edit your document immediately in DVI Viewer.
> 2) It is True LaTeX Editor.
> It edits LaTeX source text without any import/export procedure.
> It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e document.
>
> BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic engine and
> consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX related
> with import graphics, font support, and document export.
>
> It supports processors:
> (1) Standard TeX and (2) e-TeX.
> Other processors such as Omega may be added in future.
>
> It imports:
> EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX,
> MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, FIG, HPGL, and DXY.
> It supports fonts:
> OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, PostScript Type1 (including MM),
> PostScript Type 3, and TeX PK/VF.
> It exports:
> DVI, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG (with HTML wrapper), and HTML (TeX4HT).
>
> It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible via DVIPS
> compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as:
> PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy,
> PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.
>
> Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is
> final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing.
>
> Editing slides in WYSIWYG interface
> (with such packages as PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.)
> is another impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'.
>
> TeXWord dramatically simplifies editing complex formulas and tables.
>
> TeXWord is transparent for cooperation.
> TeXWord don't use additional macro packages.
> It uses only standard LaTeX packages, so that documents made up
> in TeXWord may be compiled in any LaTeX setup without any adaptation.
> In other side, TeXWord can handle arbitrary LaTeX documents.
> So, that your coleagues may even don't know that you use
> powerful WYSIWYG tool to edit your part of common work.
>
> Beginner users of LaTeX may consider TeXWord as
> good start point for learning LaTeX together with writing papers.
