Used Packages

Packages

fontspec \usepackage{fontspec}

Advanced Font Selection: Allows you to use any OpenType or TrueType font installed on your system. Note that this requires compiling with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX.

babel-czech \usepackage[czech]{babel}

Czech Localization: Provides Czech-specific hyphenation patterns, translated document strings (like "Obsah" instead of "Table of Contents"), and support for Czech quotes.

amsmath \usepackage{amsmath}

Mathematical Enhancements: The industry standard for math typesetting, providing superior alignment for multi-line equations and advanced mathematical structures.

amsfonts \usepackage{amsfonts}

AMS Fonts: Provides a broad range of mathematical fonts, including the necessary glyphs for "blackboard bold" characters like the sets of real or natural numbers.

amssymb \usepackage{amssymb}

Extended Symbol Set: Grants access to a vast collection of mathematical symbols that are not included in the standard LaTeX base.

amsthm \usepackage{amsthm}

Theorem Styling: Provides a flexible mechanism for defining and styling "Theorem," "Lemma," "Definition," and "Proof" environments with consistent formatting.

graphicx \usepackage{graphicx}

Image Handling: The essential package for inserting external graphics (PNG, JPG, PDF) into your document, allowing for scaling, rotating, and cropping.

xcolor \usepackage{xcolor}

Color Management: Extends LaTeX’s ability to handle colors, allowing for custom color definitions, colored text, and background shading for table rows or boxes.

url \usepackage{url}

URL Formatting: Specifically designed for typesetting web addresses. It ensures URLs use a monospaced font and "break" naturally at the end of lines without breaking the link.

textcomp \usepackage{textcomp}

Extended Text Symbols: Provides support for the TS1 encoding, which includes extra symbols like the Euro sign (€), copyright symbols, and musical notes.

parskip \usepackage{parskip}

Paragraph Spacing: Modernizes the document layout by adding vertical space between paragraphs and removing the standard first-line indentation.

booktabs \usepackage{booktabs}

Professional Tables: Provides high-quality horizontal rules (\toprule, \midrule, \bottomrule) to create clean, publication-quality tables without the need for ugly vertical lines.

icomma \usepackage{icomma}

Czech Number Format: Fixes the math-mode spacing issue where LaTeX normally treats a comma as a separator (adding a space), allowing it to act correctly as a decimal point (e.g., 0,03).
