Mathtools provides a series of packages designed to enhance the
|
|
appearance of documents containing a lot of mathematics. The
|
|
main backbone is amsmath, so those unfamiliar with this
|
|
required part of the LaTeX system will probably not find the
|
|
packages very useful. Mathtools provides many useful tools for
|
|
mathematical typesetting. It is based on amsmath and fixes
|
|
various deficiencies of amsmath and standard LaTeX. It
|
|
provides: Extensible symbols, such as brackets, arrows,
|
|
harpoons, etc.; Various symbols such as \coloneqq (:=); Easy
|
|
creation of new tag forms; Showing equation numbers only for
|
|
referenced equations; Extensible arrows, harpoons and
|
|
hookarrows; Starred versions of the amsmath matrix environments
|
|
for specifying the column alignment; More building blocks:
|
|
multlined, cases-like environments, new gathered environments;
|
|
Maths versions of \makebox, \llap, \rlap etc.; Cramped math
|
|
styles; and more... Mathtools requires mhsetup.
