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 - - listserv@urz.uni-heidelberg.de - -with the body containing - - subscribe LATEX-L <Your-First-Name> <Your-Second-Name> - - -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. - - ---- Copyright 1998 -- 2009 - The LaTeX3 Project.
