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).
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.

Add rules for TeX packages (e)ledmac and (e)ledpar. References from manuals:
eledmac p. 46:
> Each section will read and write an associated "line-list file", containing information used to do the numbering; the file will be called `<jobname>.nn`, where `nn` is the section number. However, you may direct that an extra string be added before the `nn` in that filename, in order to distinguish these temporary files from others: that string is called `\extensionchars`. Initially it's empty, since different operating systems have greatly varying ideas about what characters are permitted in file names. So `\renewcommand{\extensionchars}{-}` gives temporary files called `<jobname>.-1`, `<jobname>.-2`, etc.
eledmac p. 112:
> Endnotes of all varieties are saved up in a file, typically named `<jobname>.end`.
eledpar p.8:
> The `\beginnumbering` macro resets the line number to zero, reads an auxiliary file called `<jobname>.nn` (where `<jobname>` is the name of the main input file for this job, and `nn` is 1 for the first numbered section, 2 for the second section, and so on), and then creates a new version of this auxiliary file to collect information during this run. Separate auxiliary files are maintained for right hand texts and these are named `<jobname>.nnR`, using the ‘R’ to distinguish them from the left hand and serial (non-parallel) texts.
Sometimes it happens that you'd like to commit during a long LaTeX run. During this run, the document.synctex.gz is renamed to document.synctex.gz(busy). And you don't want to commit this file.
