Packages/Style Files for LaTeX

A great deal of "custom" formats may be utilized with LaTeX documents. Downloadable packages to help typeset everyday things like captions, colors, headers and footers, to more esoteric things like chemical formulas, music and chess, are available.

Files with extension .sty or .cls should be placed in the texinputs folder for common access, or in the current directory. Files with extension bst are normally placed in the bibinputs folder.
