- Experimental LaTeX3 High-Level Concepts
- =======================================
-
- 2009/11/25
-
-
-WHERE TO GET IT
----------------
-
-The files in this distribution represent a snapshot of selected files
-from the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project.
-
-To obtain current versions of the files, visit
-<http://www.latex-project.org/code.html> which contains further
-instructions.
-
-OVERVIEW
---------
-
-The xpackages are a collection of experimental implementations
-for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level
-ideas such as the Desginer Interface. Some of them work as stand
-alone packages, providing new functionality, and can be used
-on top of LaTeX2e with no changes to the existing kernel.
-Others go further, and redefine LaTeX2e internals to provide
-better methods for managing certain constructs.
-
-All xpackages require expl3 and, in addition to this, many require
-functionality provided by the packages within the xbase bundle.
-
-Currently included in the CTAN release of xpackages are the following
-bundles:
- xbase
- xtras
-
-xbase
------
-
-The xbase bundle provides mechansims for defining document commands
-(xparse) and design constructions (xtemplate).
-
-The xparse package provides a high-level interface for declaring
-document commands, e.g., a uniform way to define commands taking
-optional arguments, optional stars (and others), mandatory arguments
-and more.
-
-The xtemplate package provides an interface for defining generic
-functions using a key=val syntax. This is designed to be
-"self-documenting", with the key definitions providing information
-on how they are to be used.
-
-The legacy template and ldcsetup packages are included at the
-present time, but new LaTeX3 code will not use these!
-
-Source files:
- - xbase.ins
- - xparse.dtx
- - xtemplate.dtx
-
-xtras
------
-
-The xtras bundle provides functionality to bridge between LaTeX2e
-and LaTeX3. It provides add-ons to LaTeX2e to allow other xpackages
-to be used in the LaTeX2e context.
-
-The l3keys2e package allows keys defined using l3keys to be used
-as package and class options with LaTeX2e. This is tied to the
-method the existing kernel uses for processing options, and so it
-is likely that a stand-alone LaTeX3 kernel will use a very different
-approach.
-
-
-DISCUSSION
-----------
-
-Discussion concerning the approach, suggestions for improvements, changes,
-additions, etc. should be addressed to the list LATEX-L.
-
-You can subscribe to this list by sending mail to

-BUGS
-----
-
-If you find a real bug that makes a package stop working you can
-report it via the standard LaTeX bug reporting mechanism of the LaTeX
-distribution (see bugs.txt there) using the category "Experimental
-LaTeX kernel". However please do *not* use this method for
-suggestions / comments / improvements / etc. For this the list LATEX-L
-should be used instead.
