+This is the README file for the ltxkeys package.
+
+SUMMARY
+
+The ltxkeys package provides facilities for creating and managing
+keys in the sense of the keyval and xkeyval packages, but it
+is intended to be more robust and faster. Its robustness emanates
+from its ability to preserve braces in key values throughout
+parsing. The need to preserve braces in key values emerges often
+in parsing keys. This is often the case in, eg, the xwatermark
+package. The package is faster than the xkeyval package because,
+among other features, it avoids character-wise parsing of key
+values (which is called selective sanitization by the xkeyval
+package).
+
+It also provides additional functionalities for defining and
+managing keys.
+
+In the ltxkeys package, the notion of 'presetting' keys differs
+from that of the xkeyval package. Only 'launched keys' are
+preset in the ltxkeys package.
