-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label etex</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>What is e-TeX?</h3>
-<p/>While Knuth has declared that TeX will never
-<a href="FAQ-TeXfuture.html">change in any substantial way</a>, there remain
-things that one might wish had been done differently, or indeed
-implemented at all.
-<p/>The NTS project set out to produce an advanced replacement for
-TeX, to provide a basis for developing such modifications: this
-&ldquo;New Typesetting System&rdquo; would share Knuth&rsquo;s aims, but would
-implement the work in a modern way taking account of the lessons
-learned with TeX. While a first demonstrator NTS did
-appear, it wasn&rsquo;t practically useful, and the project seems no longer
-active.
-<p/>In parallel with its work on NTS itself, the project developed
-a set of extensions that can be used with a (&ldquo;true&rdquo;) TeX system.
-Such a modified system is known as an e-TeX system, and the concept
-has proved widely successful. Indeed, current TeX distributions
-are delivered with most formats built with an e-TeX-based system (for
-those who don&rsquo;t want them, e-TeX&rsquo;s extensions can be disabled, leaving
-a functionally standard TeX system).
-<p/>The extensions range from the seemingly simple (increasing the number
-of available registers from 256 to 32768) through to extremely subtle
-programming support.
-<p/><a href="FAQ-context.html">ConTeXt</a> has required e-TeX for its operation
-for some time.
-<p/>Some LaTeX packages already specify the use of e-TeX. Some such
-packages may not work at all on a non-e-TeX system; others will
-work, but not as well as on an e-TeX system. The
-<a href="FAQ-LaTeX3.html">LaTeX team</a> has announced that future LaTeX
-packages (specifically those from the team, as opposed to those
-individually contributed) may require e-TeX for optimum performance.
