The LaTeX Package “gridset”

The gridset package originated from frequent questions in the Usenet group de.comp.text.tex, as well as on the mailing list TeX-D-L and in the former forum at komascript.de. Ultimately, this resulted in a package cobbled together quickly, which, with the help of a few manually inserted markers, enables typesetting with registers. However, the package was always intended only as an experimental first step. Its use in production was always discouraged and continues to be discouraged. The fact that it was published at all is now viewed by the author as mistake. The fact that it has not been completely withdrawn is mainly due to the fact that, despite all warnings, some users are using it seriously. Nevertheless, there is absolutely no support for this package. Anyone who would like to take it over, bring it to actual release readiness, and maintain it in the future is welcome to contact us to assume maintainer responsibilities.

The project is hosted on GitHub. Further information can be found in the CTAN catalog entry.
