The base @TeX{} program has been extended in many ways.
@cindex cross-engine functionality
-@cindex Prote engine
-@cindex ker@TeX{} distribution
There has been a substantial effort to make some extended
functionality available across all engines, so that formats, notably
@LaTeX{}, can rely on it. A list of this common extended
functionality is in a @cite{@LaTeX{} News} article,
-@url{https://www.latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews31.pdf},
-with some further annotatations in a listserv discussion,

For engines in @TeX{} Live, the detailed documentation for the
extended primitives is mostly in the pdf@TeX{} manual
-(@url{http://pdftex.org}). Independently, the Prote engine also
-implements the common extended functionality
-(@url{http://kertex.kergis.com/en/prote.html}). Prote is a part of
-the ker@TeX{} distribution (not related to Web2C or @TeX{} Live).
