Some LaTeX Tools

• amsrefs
  Control bibliography style through LaTeX rather than partly by a BibTeX style file and partly through LaTeX. See http://www.ams.org/tex/amsrefs.html

• \showkeys
  Print label, ref, cite and bib keys. Shows these as a reminder while you are editing the document. [Comment-out as %\showkeys in your final version.] see: http://www.math.upenn.edu/tex_docs/latex/tools/showkeys.dvi and also \showlabels

• prosper
  The document class "prosper" is for making transparencies for talks, so think of it as an upgrade to SliTeX.
  What it gives you is the combination of the nice, colorful, slide designs and big easy-to-read fonts that Microsoft PowerPoint has, along with the great mathematical symbol capabilities of LaTeX. It also makes it easy to have overlays, that is, a few lines appear on the slide, then when you hit Enter, a few more lines appear on the same slide, etc. It can output an PDF file of your whole lecture, which you can then transport as a file to the location of your talk, and give it from your own laptop or from one that your host supplies. It also uses landscape mode, rather than portrait, which is usually much better for mathematical talks. See: http://prosper.sourceforge.net/
