The background topic contains ten distinct packages for adding backgrounds to documents. Two of them state that they generate watermarks, one makes graph paper-like images behind text, another generates the page grid behind text, another allows for a Postscript image behind text. The bidipagegrid package makes the standard pagegrid package work properly when the document requires bidirectional printing. The gradback package generates gradient backgrounds in dvips output, which does not matter to me; the package also has no documentation. ** | The background topic contains ten distinct packages for adding backgrounds to documents.

The background package is more complex, more flexible, and has thirteen pages of documentation. The content of the background initially is “Draft”. After skimming through the documentation it is obvious that this package inserts what are usually called watermarks; text behind the main text. I did not see any mention of the capability to use an image with this package. See the code below and Figure 2 (below left).** | The background package is more complex, more flexible, and has thirteen pages of documentation. The content of the background initially is “Draft”.

**The next group of fifteen packages were designed to generate barcodes and other machine readable coding in documents. Barcodes appear on almost all consumer products. They are used in warehouses, in retail stores, and many other places. CTAN has packages for generating barcodes for various standards: Code 128, EAN, EAN Code 13, UPC, U.S. ZIP codes, and QR codes. I assume all my readers know what barcodes and QR codes look like, so no sample for these packages. Again I urge you to read the documentation for whatever package you use before you use it. | **The next group of fifteen packages were designed to generate barcodes and other machine readable coding in documents.

The biology topic contains fifteen packages. Five of them are specialized versions of bibliography packages for specific journals. Several of the others are to assist in typesetting scientific names for specimens in collections or in reports and articles. Two are used for typesetting bracketed dichotomous identification keys. If you know what a dichotomous key is and need to set them up, these packages could be very useful.** | The biology topic contains fifteen packages.

**There is a topic called Blank Pages which seems out of place but can be useful when producing longer documents. One of the two packages ensures there is always an even number of pages in a document. The other says it fills documents with notes pages and notes areas. That sounds useful for textbook authors and teachers. The abstract from the 47-page documentation says “the NotesPages package provides one macro to insert a single notes page and another to fill the document with multiple notes pages, until the total number of pages (so far) is a multiple of a given number. A third command can be used to fill half empty pages with a notes area.” Putting an image of an empty page into FCM is a waste. I leave it to your imagination or experimentation to learn how this package works. | **There is a topic called Blank Pages which seems out of place but can be useful when producing longer documents.

There are 48 packages in the Book Publication topic. Some are samples of books in various languages or for particular publishers. One offers to set up your book in a colorful way. A couple set up crop marks so the final printing of a book can be cut to the appropriate size. If you are writing or plan to write a book, one or more of these packages could be useful and help save time in page design. I chose the flippdf package as an example of the many possibilities available in this topic.** | There are 48 packages in the Book Publication topic.
