Legend

• microtype - Better look of the papers. See http://www.khirevich.com/latex/microtype/ for a longer explanation of microtype’s features.
• hyperref - Support of hyperlinked references without extra color.
• hypcap - Hyperlinks to figures jump to the beginning of the figure and not just to the caption.
• cleveref - The most advanced cross-referencing packae. Just type \cref{xy} instead of Fig.~\ref{xy}. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/36312/9075 for a complete comparison to other referencing packages.
• listings - Typeset listings directly in latex.
• minted - Source code highlighting like a pro. In contrast to listings, it uses pygments to highlight code. That provides better results.
• biblatex - Advanced citation commands (such as \cite[based on][]{ref}) and UTF-8 support
• natbib - Advanced citation commands (such as \cite[based on][]{ref}).
• latexindent config - Ready-to-go configuration to reindent *.tex files
• cmap/glyphtounicode - Generated PDF allows for copy and paste of text without getting words with ligatures such as “workflow” destroyed.
• pdfcomment - This is one of those TODO packges. Comments are included in the PDF as separate layer.
