Introduction The gmutils.sty package provides some macros that are analogous to the standard LaTeX ones but extend their functionality, such as \@ifnextcat, \addtomacro or \begin(*). The others are just conveniences I like to use in all my TeX works, such as \afterfi, \pk or \cs. I wouldn't say they are only for the package writers but I assume some nonzero (La)TeX-awareness of the user. 3. Installation Unpack the gmutils-tds.zip archive in some texmf directory or put the gmutils.sty somewhere in the texmf/tex/latex branch on your own. (Creating a /texmf/tex/latex/gm directory may be advisable if you consider using other packages written by me.) Then you should refresh your TeX distribution's files' database most probably. 4. Contents The distribution of this package consists of the following three files and a TDS-compliant archive. gmutils.sty README gmutils.pdf gmutils-tds.zip 5. Documentation The last of the above files (the .pdf) is a documentation compiled from the .sty file by running LaTeX on the gmutils.sty file twice: xelatex gmutils.sty in the directory you wish the documentation to be in, you don't have copy the .sty file there---TeX will find it, then MakeIndex on the gmutils.idx file, and then LaTeX on gmutilsDoc.tex once more. MakeIndex shell command: makeindex -r gmutilsDoc The -r switch is to forbid MakeIndex make implicit ranges since the (code line) numbers will be hyperlinks Compiling of the documentation requires the packages: gmdoc (gmdoc.sty and gmdocc.cls), gmverb.sty, gmutils.sty and also some standard packages: hyperref.sty, xcolor.sty, geometry.sty, multicol.sty, lmodern.sty, fontenc.sty that should be installed on your computer by default. If you have not installed the mwart.cls class (available on CTAN in mwcls package), the result of your compilation may differ a bit from the .pdf provided in this .zip archive in formattings: If you have not installed mwart.cls, the standard article.cls will be used.
