LaTeX packages

LaTeX packages are like specialized toolsets or plugins for the LaTeX document preparation system. They extend LaTeX’s core capabilities, allowing users to easily add features such as advanced formatting, custom fonts, graphics, tables, or mathematical symbols. By including a package in your document, you access pre-written code that simplifies complex tasks and enhances the document’s appearance and functionality. Think of packages as modular additions that tailor LaTeX to meet various publishing, scientific, or presentation needs without requiring you to write all features from scratch.
