I didn't actually use this one. Maybe next time. +* [geometry](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/geometry) --- Flexible and complete interfact to document dimensions. +* [fancyhdr](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr) --- Gives you more control over page headers and footers. +* [multicol](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/multicol) --- Provides for more than two or more columns in selected areas. +* [wrapfig](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/wrapfig) --- Allows you to wrap text around figures. +* [hyperref](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref) --- Support for hypertext (i.e., links). (Protip: use the *hidelinks* option to get rid of the annoying red boxes around links in the pdf form. Thanks to reddit user 0b0101011001001011 for this tip!) +* [tabto](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/tabto-ltx) --- Allows you to set tab stops. (I used this one to get multiple paragraphs in a footnote. Still scratching my head about that one.) +* [ulem](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/ulem) --- A package for making lines through text. In my case, I just wanted a simple strikethrough. + +Also reddit user -LeopardShark- recommended using the package [microtype](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/microtype) to get finer typographical control. Maybe in the next issue.
