在历史书籍中，您通常有时间线，其中事件和时期以正确的相对距离标记在一条线上。如何在 LaTeX 中创建类似的东西？

There is a new chronology.sty by Levi Wiseman. The documentation (pdf) says:
Most timeline packages and solutions for LATEX are used to convey a lot of information and are therefore designed vertically. If you are just attempting to assign labels to dates, a more traditional timeline might be more appropriate. That's what chronology is for.
Here is some example code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chronology}
\begin{document}
\begin{chronology}[5]{1983}{2010}{3ex}[\textwidth]
\event{1984}{one}
\event[1985]{1986}{two}
\event{\decimaldate{25}{12}{2001}}{three}
\end{chronology}
\end{document}
Which produces this output:

tikz包似乎有你想要的。
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{snakes}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[snake=zigzag, line before snake = 5mm, line after snake = 5mm]
% draw horizontal line
\draw (0,0) -- (2,0);
\draw[snake] (2,0) -- (4,0);
\draw (4,0) -- (5,0);
\draw[snake] (5,0) -- (7,0);
% draw vertical lines
\foreach \x in {0,1,2,4,5,7}
\draw (\x cm,3pt) -- (\x cm,-3pt);
% draw nodes
\draw (0,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 0 $} node[above=3pt] {$ $};
\draw (1,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 1 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 10 $};
\draw (2,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 2 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 20 $};
\draw (3,0) node[below=3pt] {$ $} node[above=3pt] {$ $};
\draw (4,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 5 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 50 $};
\draw (5,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 6 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 60 $};
\draw (6,0) node[below=3pt] {$ $} node[above=3pt] {$ $};
\draw (7,0) node[below=3pt] {$ n $} node[above=3pt] {$ 10n $};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
我对 tikz 不太熟悉，但这确实给出了一个很好的时间表，如下所示：

Also the package chronosys provides a nice solution. Here's an example from the user manual:

Just an update.
The present TiKZ package will issue: Package tikz Warning: Snakes have been superseded by decorations. Please use the decoration libraries instead of the snakes library on input line. . .
So the pertaining part of code has to be changed to:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
%draw horizontal line
\draw (0,0) -- (2,0);
\draw[decorate,decoration={snake,pre length=5mm, post length=5mm}] (2,0) -- (4,0);
\draw (4,0) -- (5,0);
\draw[decorate,decoration={snake,pre length=5mm, post length=5mm}] (5,0) -- (7,0);
%draw vertical lines
\foreach \x in {0,1,2,4,5,7}
\draw (\x cm,3pt) -- (\x cm,-3pt);
%draw nodes
\draw (0,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 0 $} node[above=3pt] {$ $};
\draw (1,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 1 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 10 $};
\draw (2,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 2 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 20 $};
\draw (3,0) node[below=3pt] {$ $} node[above=3pt] {$ $};
\draw (4,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 5 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 50 $};
\draw (5,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 6 $} node[above=3pt] {$ 60 $};
\draw (6,0) node[below=3pt] {$ $} node[above=3pt] {$ $};
\draw (7,0) node[below=3pt] {$ n $} node[above=3pt] {$ 10n $};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Tim Storer wrote a more flexible and nicer looking timeline.sty (Internet Archive Wayback Machine link, as original is gone). In addition, the line is horizontal rather than vertical. So for instance:
\begin{timeline}{2008}{2010}{50}{250}
\MonthAndYearEvent{4}{2008}{First Podcast}
\MonthAndYearEvent{7}{2008}{Private Beta}
\MonthAndYearEvent{9}{2008}{Public Beta}
\YearEvent{2009}{IPO?}
\end{timeline}
produces a timeline that looks like this:
2008 2010
· · April, 2008 First Podcast ·
· July, 2008 Private Beta
· September, 2008 Public Beta
· 2009 IPO?
Personally, I find this a more pleasing solution than the other answers. But I also find myself modifying the code to get something closer to what I think a timeline should look like. So there's not definitive solution in my opinion.

Firstly, I prefer tikz guided solution, because it gives you more freedom. Secondly, I'm not posting anything totally new. It is obviously similar to Zoe Gagnon's answer, because he showed the way.
I needed some year timeline and it took me some time (what a surprise!) to do it, so I'm sharing the results. I hope you'll like it.
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\begin{document}
\newlength\yearposx
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.57] % timeline 1990-2010->
% define coordinates (begin, used, end, arrow)
\foreach \x in {1990,1992,2000,2002,2004,2005,2008,2009,2010,2011}{
\pgfmathsetlength\yearposx{(\x-1990)*1cm};
\coordinate (y\x) at (\yearposx,0);
\coordinate (y\x t) at (\yearposx,+3pt);
\coordinate (y\x b) at (\yearposx,-3pt);
}
% draw horizontal line with arrow
\draw [->] (y1990) -- (y2011);
% draw ticks
\foreach \x in {1992,2000,2002,2004,2005,2008,2009}
\draw (y\x t) -- (y\x b);
% annotate
\foreach \x in {1992,2002,2005,2009}
\node at (y\x) [below=3pt] {\x};
\foreach \x in {2000,2004,2008}
\node at (y\x) [above=3pt] {\x};
\begin{comment}
% for use in beamer class
\only<2> {\fill (y1992) circle (5pt);}
\only<3-5> {\fill (y2000) circle (5pt);}
\only<4-5> {\fill (y2002) circle (5pt);}
\only<5> {\fill[red] (y2004) circle (5pt);}
\only<6> {\fill (y2005) circle (5pt);}
\only<7> {\fill[red] (y2005) circle (5pt);}
\only<8-11> {\fill (y2008) circle (5pt);}
\only<11> {\fill (y2009) circle (5pt);}
\end{comment}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
As you can see, it's tailored to beamer presentation (select part and also scale option), but if you really want to test it in a presentation, then you should move \newlength\yearposx outside of the frame definition, because otherwise you'll get error veritably stating that command \yearposx is already defined (unless you remove the selection part and any other frame-splitting commands from your frame).

有timeline.sty漂浮。
语法比使用 tikz 更简单：
%%% In LaTeX:
%%% \begin{timeline}{length}(start,stop)
%%% .
%%% .
%%% .
%%% \end{timeline}
%%%
%%% in plain TeX
%%% \timeline{length}(start,stop)
%%% .
%%% .
%%% .
%%% \endtimeline
%%% in between the two, we may have:
%%% \item{date}{description}
%%% \item[sortkey]{date}{description}
%%% \optrule
%%%
%%% the options to timeline are:
%%% length The amount of vertical space that the timeline should
%%% use.
%%% (start,stop) indicate the range of the timeline. All dates or
%%% sortkeys should lie in the range [start,stop]
%%%
%%% \item without the sort key expects date to be a number (such as a
%%% year).
%%% \item with the sort key expects the sort key to be a number; date
%%% can be anything. This can be used for log scale time lines
%%% or dates that include months or days.
%%% putting \optrule inside of the timeline environment will cause a
%%% vertical rule to be drawn down the center of the timeline.
我使用 python 的 datetime.data.toordinal 将日期转换为包上下文中的“排序键”。

我一直在努力寻找一种合适的方法来创建时间线，我终于可以通过这个修改来做到这一点。通常在创建时间线时，问题是我无法添加文本来用更长的文本清楚地解释每个日期。我修改并进一步利用了@Zoe Gagnon 的乳胶脚本。请随时查看以下内容：
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{snakes}
\usepackage{rotating}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}
% draw horizontal line
\draw (-5,0) -- (6,0);
% draw vertical lines
\foreach \x in {-5,-4,-3,-2, -1,0,1,2}
\draw (\x cm,3pt) -- (\x cm,-3pt);
% draw nodes
\draw (-5,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 0 $} node[above=3pt] {$ $};
\draw (-4,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 1 $} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45}
All individuals vote
\end{turn}$};
\draw (-3,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 2 $} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45}
Policy vector decided
\end{turn}$};
\draw (-2,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 3 $} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45} Becoming a bureaucrat \end{turn} $};
\draw (-1,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 4 $} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45} Bureaucrats' effort choice \end{turn}$};
\draw (0,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 5 $} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45} Tax evasion decision made \end{turn}$};
\draw (1,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 6$} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45} $p(x_{t})$ tax evaders caught \end{turn}$};
\draw (2,0) node[below=3pt] {$ 7 $} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45} $q_{t}$ shirking bureaucrats \end{turn}$};
\draw (3,0) node[below=3pt] {$ $} node[above=3pt] {$\begin{turn}{45} Public service provided \end{turn} $};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\end{document}
不幸的是，不允许使用更长的文本。它看起来像这样：
