+
+   An Experimental LaTeX3 Programming Convention
+   =============================================
+
+   2011/05/10
+
+
+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 files of the expl3 bundle provide a low-level API for TeX
+programmers with special syntax conventions, completely separating it
+from document level syntax. Hence, the commands provided are not
+intended for use at the document level nor for use in describing
+design layouts in document class files.
+
+This API provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other
+advanced extensions are built. Special care has been taken so that
+they can be used within a LaTeX2e context as regular packages.
+
+While 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 expl3.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+------------
+
+The expl3 bundle requires the e-TeX extensions and the functionality
+of the \pdfstrcmp primitive. As a result, the bundle will only work
+with the following engines:
+
+ - pdfTeX v1.30 or later
+ - XeTeX v0.9994 or later
+ - LuaTeX v0.40 or later
+ 
+pdfTeX v1.30 was released in 2005, and so any recent TeX distribution
+will support expl3. Both XeTeX and LuaTeX have developed more
+actively over the past few years, and for this reason only recent 
+releases of these engines are supported.

+\noindent
+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 though 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}: the plain \TeX{} \cs{edef}.
+  \item[\texttt{f}] The \texttt{f} specifier stands for \emph{full 
+    expansion}, and in contrast to \emph{x} stops at the first 
+    non-expandable item without trying to execute it.
+  \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{dim}] \enquote{Rigid} lengths.
+  \item[\texttt{int}] Integer-valued count register.
+  \item[\texttt{prop}] Property list.
+  \item[\texttt{skip}] \enquote{Rubber} lengths.
+  \item[\texttt{seq}] \enquote{Sequence}: a data-type used to implement lists 
+    (with access at both ends) and stacks.
+  \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.
+  \item[\texttt{toks}] Token register.
+\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}
+
+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}).
+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}
+
+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,pTF]{\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}
