-% etextools focuses on purely expandability. The main contributions are :
-%
-% \expandaftercmds, \expandnext, \ExpandNext: vectorized form of \expandafter
-%
-% \FE@testopt,\FE@ifstar,\FE@ifchar,\FE@modifiers: define purely expandable
-% macros with option and/or star version or other modifiers.
-%
-% \DeclareStringFilter to compare strings in a purely expandable way.
-% count characters, replace in string, take care of blank spaces or not...
-%
-% \ifstrnum: to test if \number (or \romannumeral) will fail or not
-%
-% \futuredef: a macro (and vectorized) version of \futurelet.
-%
-% \DeclareCmdListParser: purely expandable loops into lists (csvloop, toksloop
-% etc.) with a general constructor (count elements, get their index etc.)

+etextools provides many (purely expandable) tools for LaTeX -------------------------------
+- Extensive list management (csv lists, lists of single tokens/characters, etoolbox lists):
+ . purely expandable loops (csvloop, forcsvloop etc.)
+ . conversion (csvtolist etc.))
+ . addition/deletion (csvadd, listdel etc.)
+ . purely expandable linear interpolation (interval, locinterplin)
+- Tests on strings (among them \ifstrnum to check if a string could be parsed by eTeX's \number)
+- Selective detokenization (\detokenizeChars) and character-test
+- Purely expandable macros with options (\FE@testopt) or modifiers (\FE@modifiers)
+- Vectorized form of \futurelet: \futuredef can read more than one single token
+
+ The pdf documentation contains a lot of example in verbatim.
+ *** Any suggestion welcome ! ***
