+== Adding a Custom Package ==
+If you have a custom LaTeX package or style file that is not part of the TeXLive distribution, you can add it to the package set like this:
+First, create a derivation for your package. The contents of <code>$out/tex</code> will later be placed in <code>texmf/tex</code>
+ latex-corporate-identity = pkgs.stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation {
+   name = "latex-corporate-identity";
+   src = ./path/to/package/tree;
+   installPhase = "cp -r $src $out";
+   passthru.tlType = "run";
+ };
+ texlive-corporate-identity = {
+   pkgs = [ latex-corporate-identity ];
+ };
+The directory tree under the path specified as src looks like this:
+ └── tex
+     └── latex
+         └── corporate-identity
+             ├── corporate-identity.sty
+You can now add the package to the combined set as you would with any other texlive package:
+ tex = pkgs.texlive.combine {
+   inherit (pkgs.texlive) scheme-full;
+   inherit texlive-corporate-identity;
+ };
