On Windows, when PDF is opened with Acrobat Reader, one gets following output:
! I can't write on file `document.pdf'.
Please type another file name for output:
If one simply presses "Enter" to continue, the file `.pdf` is generated. Since this is a common case and `.pdf` is never used as full file name, this file should be ignored, too.
When we use 'thmtools' package for creating 'List of Theorems', auxiliary file '.loe' is created, just as '.toc' for 'Table of Contents' and '.lof' for 'List of Figures'.
A precompiled header(`latex -ini`) compiled creates a `.fmt` file.
To speed up xypic's drawing, precompiled matrices are created with the `\CompileMatrices` entry in the preamble. This creates `*.xyc` files.
endfloat.sty produces these two auxiliary files.
From Section 3.2 of its documentation:
> Loading it will have LTEX produce two extra files with .ttt and .fff extensions (for tables and figures, respectively).
reledmac use one individual file by series of endnotes : .Aend, .Bend, .Cend etc. See the changelog in reledmac handbook or https://github.com/maieul/ledmac/commit/7fedc07f5bf2af21c86a237957790cb6fdce78a7#diff-60c898960cc69e6fde87e84ddef7d910R11391
When using TikZ & PGF with:
`\usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{external} \tikzexternalize`
It creates .dpth and .md5 files for the externalized tikzpictures.
When using minitoc package, LateX often generates multiple .mtc files such as `*.mtc0`, `*.mtc1`, ..., `*.mtc13`, ... This patch allows one to ignore all *.mtc files from index 0 to index 99 (ignoring `*.mtc[1-9][0-9]`).
When doing \usepackage[backref]{hyperref} the pages of the references are shown in the bibliography.
Those files can be safely ignored.
