-\section{Introduction}
-
-This document is intended as a style guide for authors of code and
-documentation for the \LaTeX3 kernel. It covers both aspects of coding
-style and the formatting of the sources. The aim of providing these
-guidelines is help ensure consistency of the code and sources from
-different authors. Experience suggests that in the long-term this helps
-with maintenance. There will of course be places where there are
-exceptions to these guidelines: common sense should always be
-applied!
-
-\section{Documentation style}
-
-\LaTeX3 source and documentation should be written using the document
-class \cls{l3doc} in \file{dtx} format. This class provides a number
-of logical mark up elements, which should be used where possible.
-In the main, this is standard \LaTeX{} practice, but there are a
-few points to highlight:
-\begin{itemize}
-  \item
-    Where possible, use \cs{cs} to mark up control sequences
-    rather than using a verbatim environment.
-  \item
-    Arguments which are given in braces should be marked using
-    \cs{Arg} when code-level functions are discussed, but using
-    \cs{marg} for document functions.
-  \item
-    The names \TeX{}, \LaTeX{}, \emph{etc}.\ use the normal logical mark
-    up followed by an empty group (|{}|), with the exception of |\LaTeX3|,
-    where the number should follow directly.
-  \item
-    Where in line verbatim text is used, it should be marked up
-    using the \verb=|...|= construct (\emph{i.e.}~vertical bars delimit
-    the verbatim text).
-  \item In line quotes should be marked up using the \cs{enquote}
-    function.
-  \item
-    Where numbers in the source have a mathematical meaning,
-    they should be included in math mode. Such in-line math mode
-    material should be marked up using |$...$| and  \emph{not}
-    |\(...\)|.
-\end{itemize}
-
-Line length in the source files should to be under $80$
-characters where possible, as this helps keep everything on the screen
-when editing files. In the \file{dtx} format, documentation lines start
-with a \texttt{\%}, which is usually followed by a space to leave a
-\enquote{comment margin} at the start of each line.
-
-As with code indenting (see later), nested environments and arguments
-should be indented by (at least) two spaces to make the nature of the nesting
-clear. Thus for example a typical arrangement for the \env{function}
-environment might be
-\begin{verbatim*}
-\begin{function}{\seq_gclear:N, \seq_gclear:c}
-  \begin{syntax}
-    \cs{seq_gclear:N} \meta{sequence}
-  \end{syntax}
-  Clears all entries from the \meta{sequence} globally.
-\end{function}
-\end{verbatim*}
-The \enquote{outer} \verb*|% \begin{function}| should have the customary
-space after the |%| character at the start of the line.
-
-In general, a single \env{function}  or \env{macro} environment should be
-used for a group of closely-related functions, for example argument
-specification variants. In such cases, a comma-separated list should be
-used, as shown in the preceding example.
-
-\section{Format of the code itself}
-
-The requirement for less than $80$ characters per line applies to the code
-itself as well as the surrounding documentation. A number of the general
-style principals for \LaTeX3 code apply: these are described in the following
-paragraph and an example is then given.
-
-With the exception of simple runs of parameter (|{#1}|, |#1#2|,
-\emph{etc.}), everything should divided up using spaces to make the code
-more readable. In general, these will be single spaces, but in some
-places it makes more sense to align parts of the code to emphasise
-similarity. (Tabs should not be used for introducing white space.)
-
-Each conceptually-separate step in a function should be on a separate
-line, to make the meaning clearer. Hence the \texttt{false} branch
-in the example uses two lines for the two auxiliary function uses.
-
-Within the definition, a two-space indent should be used to show each
-\enquote{level} of code. Thus in the example \cs{tl_if_empty:nTF} is
-indented by two spaces, but the two branches are indented by four
-spaces. Within the \texttt{false} branch, the need for multiple lines
-means that an additional two-space indent should be used to show that
-these lines are all part of the brace group.
-
-The result of these lay-out conventions is code which will in general
-look like the example:
-\begin{verbatim*}
-\cs_new:Npn \module_foo:nn #1#2
-  {
-    \tl_if_empty:nTF {#1}
-      { \module_foo_aux:n { X #2 } }
-      {
-        \module_foo_aux:nn {#1} {#2}
-        \module_foo_aux:n {#1#2}
-      }
-  }
-\end{verbatim*}
-
-\section{Code conventions}
-
-When using \cs{cs_generate_variant:Nn}, group related variants together
-to make the pattern clearer. A common example is variants of a function
-which has an \texttt{N}-type first argument:
-\begin{verbatim*}
-\cs_generate_variant:Nn \foo:Nn {     NV , No }
-\cs_generate_variant:Nn \foo:Nn { c , cV , co }
-\end{verbatim*}
-
-There are cases where omitting braces from \texttt{o}-type arguments
-is desirable for performance reasons. This should only be done if the
-argument is a single token, thus for example
-\begin{verbatim}
-\tl_set:No \l_some_tl \l_some_other_tl
-\end{verbatim}
-remains clear and can be used where appropriate.

-\section{August 2011}
-
-\begin{itemize}
-  \item \cs{tl_if_single:n\TF} recognized any non-zero number of
-    explicit spaces as \meta{true}, and did not ignore trailing spaces.
-    Now it is \meta{true} for
-    \[
-      \meta{optional spaces}
-      \meta{normal token or brace group}
-      \meta{optional spaces}.
-    \]
-  \item \cs{tl_reverse:n} stripped outer braces and lost unprotected spaces.
-    Now it keeps spaces, leaves unbraced single tokens unbraced, and
-    braced groups braced.
-  \item \cs{tl_trim_spaces:n} only removed one leading and trailing space.
-    Now removes recursively. Also, on the left it used to strip implicit
-    and explicit spaces with any character code. Now it strips only explicit
-    space characters $(32,10)$.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\section{September 2011}
-
-\begin{itemize}
-\item clist functions which receive an \texttt{n}-type comma list argument
-  now trim spaces from each item in the argument.

-This is the reference documentation for the \pkg{expl3}
-programming environment. The \pkg{expl3} modules set up an experimental
-naming scheme for \LaTeX{} commands, which allow the \LaTeX{} programmer
-to systematically name functions and variables, and specify the argument
-types of functions.
-
-The \TeX{} and \eTeX{} primitives are all given a new name according to
-these conventions. However, in the main direct use of the primitives is
-not required or encouraged: the \pkg{expl3} modules define an
-independent low-level \LaTeX3 programming language.
-
-At present, the \pkg{expl3} modules are designed to be loaded on top of
-\LaTeXe{}. In time, a \LaTeX3 format will be produced based on this code.
-This allows the code to be used in \LaTeXe{} packages \emph{now} while a
-stand-alone \LaTeX3 is developed.
-
-\begin{bfseries}
-  While \pkg{expl3} is still experimental, the bundle is now regarded as
-  broadly stable. The syntax conventions and functions provided are now
-  ready for wider use. There may still be changes to some functions, but
-  these will be minor when compared to the scope of \pkg{expl3}.
-
-  New modules will be added to the distributed version of \pkg{expl3} as
-  they reach maturity.

-\part{Introduction to \pkg{expl3} and this document}
-
-This document is intended to act as a comprehensive reference manual
-for the \pkg{expl3} language. A general guide to the \LaTeX3
-programming language is found in \href{expl3.pdf}{expl3.pdf}.
-
-\section{Naming functions and variables}
-
-\LaTeX3 does not use \texttt{@} as a \enquote{letter} for defining
-internal macros.  Instead, the symbols |_| and \texttt{:}
-are used in internal macro names to provide structure. The name of
-each \emph{function} is divided into logical units using \texttt{_},
-while \texttt{:} separates the \emph{name} of the function from the
-\emph{argument specifier} (\enquote{arg-spec}). This describes the arguments
-expected by the function. In most cases, each argument is represented
-by a single letter. The complete list of arg-spec letters for a function
-is referred to as the \emph{signature} of the function.
-
-Each function name starts with the \emph{module} to which it belongs.
-Thus apart from a small number of very basic functions, all \pkg{expl3}
-function names contain at least one underscore to divide the module
-name from the descriptive name of the function. For example, all
-functions concerned with comma lists are in module \texttt{clist} and
-begin \cs{clist_}.
-
-Every function must include an argument specifier. For functions which
-take no arguments, this will be blank and the function name will end
-\texttt{:}. Most functions take one or more arguments, and use the
-following argument specifiers:
-\begin{description}
-  \item[\texttt{D}] The \texttt{D} specifier means \emph{do not use}.
-    All of the \TeX{} primitives are initially \cs{let} to a \texttt{D}
-    name, and some are then given a second name.  Only the kernel
-    team should use anything with a \texttt{D} specifier!
-  \item[\texttt{N} and \texttt{n}] These mean \emph{no manipulation},
-    of a single token for \texttt{N} and of a set of tokens given in
-    braces for \texttt{n}. Both pass the argument through exactly as
-    given. Usually, if you use a single token for an \texttt{n} argument,
-    all will be well.
-  \item[\texttt{c}] This means \emph{csname}, and indicates that the
-    argument will be turned into a csname before being used. So
-    So \cs{foo:c} |{ArgumentOne}| will act in the same way as \cs{foo:N}
-    \cs{ArgumentOne}.
-  \item[\texttt{V} and \texttt{v}] These mean \emph{value
-    of variable}. The \texttt{V} and \texttt{v} specifiers are used to
-    get the content of a variable without needing to worry about the
-    underlying \TeX{} structure containing the data. A \texttt{V}
-    argument will be a single token (similar to \texttt{N}), for example
-    \cs{foo:V} \cs{MyVariable}; on the other hand, using \texttt{v} a
-    csname is constructed first, and then the value is recovered, for
-    example \cs{foo:v} |{MyVariable}|.
-  \item[\texttt{o}] This means \emph{expansion once}. In general, the
-    \texttt{V} and \texttt{v} specifiers are favoured over \texttt{o}
-    for recovering stored information. However, \texttt{o} is useful
-    for correctly processing information with delimited arguments.
-  \item[\texttt{x}] The \texttt{x} specifier stands for \emph{exhaustive
-    expansion}: every token in the argument is fully expanded until only
-    unexpandable ones remain. The \TeX{} \tn{edef} primitive carries out
-    this type of expansion. Functions which feature an \texttt{x}-type 
-    argument are in general \emph{not} expandable, unless specifically
-    noted.
-  \item[\texttt{f}] The \texttt{f} specifier stands for \emph{full
-    expansion}, and in contrast to \texttt{x} stops at the first
-    non-expandable item (reading the argument from left to right) without
-    trying to expand it. For example, when setting a token list
-    variable (a macro used for storage), the sequence
-    \begin{verbatim}
-      \tl_set:Nn \l_mya_tl { A }
-      \tl_set:Nn \l_myb_tl { B }
-      \tl_set:Nf \l_mya_tl { \l_mya_tl \l_myb_tl }
-    \end{verbatim}
-    will leave |\l_mya_tl| with the content |A\l_myb_tl|, as |A| cannot
-    be expanded and so terminates expansion before |\l_myb_tl| is considered.
-  \item[\texttt{T} and \texttt{F}] For logic tests, there are the branch
-    specifiers \texttt{T} (\emph{true}) and \texttt{F} (\emph{false}).
-    Both specifiers treat the input in the same way as \texttt{n} (no
-    change), but make the logic much easier to see.
-  \item[\texttt{p}] The letter \texttt{p} indicates \TeX{}
-    \emph{parameters}. Normally this will be used for delimited
-    functions as \pkg{expl3} provides better methods for creating simple
-    sequential arguments.
-  \item[\texttt{w}] Finally, there is the \texttt{w} specifier for
-    \emph{weird} arguments. This covers everything else, but mainly
-    applies to delimited values (where the argument must be terminated
-    by some arbitrary string).
-\end{description}
-Notice that the argument specifier describes how the argument is
-processed prior to being passed to the underlying function. For example,
-\cs{foo:c} will take its argument, convert it to a control sequence and
-pass it to \cs{foo:N}.
-
-Variables are named in a similar manner to functions, but begin with
-a single letter to define the type of variable:
-\begin{description}
-  \item[\texttt{c}] Constant: global parameters whose value should not
-    be changed.
-  \item[\texttt{g}] Parameters whose value should only be set globally.
-  \item[\texttt{l}] Parameters whose value should only be set locally.
-\end{description}
-Each variable name is then build up in a similar way to that of a
-function, typically starting with the module\footnote{The module names are
-  not used in case of generic scratch registers defined in the data
-  type modules, e.g., the
-  \texttt{int} module contains some scratch variables called \cs{l_tmpa_int},
-  \cs{l_tmpb_int}, and so on. In such a case adding the module name up front
-  to denote the module
-  and in the back to indicate the type, as in
-  \cs{l_int_tmpa_int} would be very unreadable.}  name
-and then a descriptive part.
-Variables end with a short identifier to show the variable type:
-\begin{description}
-  \item[\texttt{bool}] Either true or false.
-  \item[\texttt{box}] Box register.
-  \item[\texttt{clist}] Comma separated list.
-  \item[\texttt{coffin}] a \enquote{box with handles} --- a higher-level data
-     type for carrying out |box| alignment operations.
-  \item[\texttt{dim}] \enquote{Rigid} lengths.
-  \item[\texttt{fp}] floating-point values;
-  \item[\texttt{int}] Integer-valued count register.
-  \item[\texttt{prop}] Property list.
-  \item[\texttt{seq}] \enquote{Sequence}: a data-type used to implement lists
-    (with access at both ends) and stacks.
-  \item[\texttt{skip}] \enquote{Rubber} lengths.
-  \item[\texttt{stream}] An input or output stream (for reading from or
-    writing to, respectively).
-  \item[\texttt{tl}] Token list variables: placeholder for a token list.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsection{Terminological inexactitude}
-
-A word of warning. In this document, and others referring to the \pkg{expl3}
-programming modules, we often refer to \enquote{variables} and
-\enquote{functions} as if they
-were actual constructs from a real programming language.  In truth, \TeX{}
-is a macro processor, and functions are simply macros that may or may not take
-arguments and expand to their replacement text.  Many of the common variables
-are \emph{also} macros, and if placed into the input stream will simply expand
-to their definition as well~--- a \enquote{function} with no arguments and a
-\enquote{token list variable} are in truth one and the same.  On the other
-hand, some \enquote{variables} are actually registers that must be
-initialised and their values set and retrieved with specific functions.
-
-The conventions of the \pkg{expl3} code are designed to clearly separate the
-ideas of \enquote{macros that contain data} and
-\enquote{macros that contain code}, and a
-consistent wrapper is applied to all forms of \enquote{data} whether they be
-macros or
-actually registers.  This means that sometimes we will use phrases like
-\enquote{the function returns a value}, when actually we just mean
-\enquote{the macro expands to something}. Similarly, the term
-\enquote{execute} might be used in place of \enquote{expand}
-or it might refer to the more specific case of
-\enquote{processing in \TeX's stomach}
-(if you are familiar with the \TeX{}book parlance).
-
-If in doubt, please ask; chances are we've been hasty in writing certain
-definitions and need to be told to tighten up our terminology.
-
-\section{Documentation conventions}
-
-This document is typeset with the experimental \pkg{l3doc} class;
-several conventions are used to help describe the features of the code.
-A number of conventions are used here to make the documentation clearer.
-
-Each group of related functions is given in a box. For a function with
-a \enquote{user} name, this might read:
-\begin{function}{\ExplSyntaxOn, \ExplSyntaxOff}
-  \begin{syntax}
-    \cs{ExplSyntaxOn} \dots{} \cs{ExplSyntaxOff}
-  \end{syntax}
-  The textual description of how the function works would appear here. The
-  syntax of the function is shown in mono-spaced text to the right of
-  the box. In this example, the function takes no arguments and so the
-  name of the function is simply reprinted.
-\end{function}
-
-For programming functions, which use \texttt{_} and \texttt{:} in their name
-there are a few additional conventions: If two related functions are given
-with identical names but different argument specifiers, these are termed
-\emph{variants} of each other, and the latter functions are printed in grey to
-show this more clearly. They will carry out the same function but will take
-different types of argument:
-\begin{function}{\seq_new:N, \seq_new:c}
-  \begin{syntax}
-    \cs{seq_new:N} \meta{sequence}
-  \end{syntax}
-  When a number of variants are described, the arguments are usually
-  illustrated only for the base function. Here, \meta{sequence} indicates
-  that \cs{seq_new:N} expects the name of a sequence. From the argument
-  specifier, \cs{seq_new:c} also expects a sequence name, but as a
-  name rather than as a control sequence. Each argument given in the
-  illustration should be described in the following text.
-\end{function}
-
-\paragraph{Fully expandable functions}
-\hypertarget{expstar}{Some functions are fully expandable},
-which allows it to be used within
-an \texttt{x}-type argument (in plain \TeX{} terms, inside an \cs{edef}),
-as well as within an \texttt{f}-type argument.
-These fully expandable functions are indicated in the documentation by
-a star:
-\begin{function}[EXP]{\cs_to_str:N}
-  \begin{syntax}
-    \cs{cs_to_str:N} \meta{cs}
-  \end{syntax}
-  As with other functions, some text should follow which explains how
-  the function works. Usually, only the star will indicate that the
-  function is expandable. In this case, the function expects a \meta{cs},
-  shorthand for a \meta{control sequence}.
-\end{function}
-
-\paragraph{Restricted expandable functions}
-\hypertarget{rexpstar}{A few functions are fully expandable} but cannot be fully expanded within
-an \texttt{f}-type argument. In this case a hollow star is used to indicate
-this:
-\begin{function}[rEXP]{\seq_map_function:NN}
-  \begin{syntax}
-    \cs{seq_map_function:NN} \meta{seq} \meta{function}
-  \end{syntax}
-\end{function}
-
-\paragraph{Conditional functions}
-\hypertarget{explTF}{Conditional (\texttt{if}) functions}
-are normally defined in three variants, with
-\texttt{T}, \texttt{F} and \texttt{TF} argument specifiers. This allows
-them to be used for different \enquote{true}/\enquote{false} branches,
-depending on
-which outcome the conditional is being used to test. To indicate this
-without repetition, this information is given in a shortened form:
-\begin{function}[EXP,TF]{\xetex_if_engine:}
-  \begin{syntax}
-    \cs{xetex_if_engine:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
-  \end{syntax}
-  The underlining and italic of \texttt{TF} indicates that
-  \cs{xetex_if_engine:T}, \cs{xetex_if_engine:F} and
-  \cs{xetex_if_engine:TF} are all available. Usually, the illustration
-  will use the \texttt{TF} variant, and so both \meta{true code}
-  and \meta{false code} will be shown. The two variant forms \texttt{T} and
-  \texttt{F} take only \meta{true code} and \meta{false code}, respectively.
-  Here, the star also shows that this function is expandable.
-  With some minor exceptions, \emph{all} conditional functions in the
-  \pkg{expl3} modules should be defined in this way.
-\end{function}
-
-Variables, constants and so on are described in a similar manner:
-\begin{variable}{\l_tmpa_tl}
-  A short piece of text will describe the variable: there is no
-  syntax illustration in this case.
-\end{variable}
-
-In some cases, the function is similar to one in \LaTeXe{} or plain \TeX{}.
-In these cases, the text will include an extra \enquote{\textbf{\TeX{}hackers
-note}} section:
-\begin{function}[EXP]{\token_to_str:N}
-  \begin{syntax}
-    \cs{token_to_str:N} \meta{token}
-  \end{syntax}
-  The normal description text.
-  \begin{texnote}
-    Detail for the experienced \TeX{} or \LaTeXe\ programmer. In this
-    case, it would point out that this function is the \TeX{} primitive
-    \cs{string}.
-  \end{texnote}
-\end{function}
-
-\section{Formal language conventions which apply generally}
-
-As this is a formal reference guide for \LaTeX3 programming, the descriptions
-of functions are intended to be reasonably \enquote{complete}. However, there
-is also a need to avoid repetition. Formal ideas which apply to general
-classes of function are therefore summarised here.
-
-For tests which have a \texttt{TF} argument specification, the test if
-evaluated to give a logically \texttt{TRUE} or \texttt{FALSE} result.
-Depending on this result, either the \meta{true code} or the \meta{false code}
-will be left in the input stream. In the case where the test is expandable,
-and a predicate (|_p|) variant is available, the logical value determined by
-the test is left in the input stream: this will typically be part of a larger
-logical construct.
