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. The packages in the collection +are under active development and the interfaces may change. + +Currently included in the CTAN release of l3experimental are the following +bundles: + * xcoffins + +xcoffins +-------- + +A _coffin_ is a 'box with handles': a data structure which comprises +both a TeX box and associated information to allow controlled typesetting. +The xcoffins package provides a high-level interface for manipulating +coffins. This is supported by the lower-level l3coffins package, which +provides the data structure. + +xgalley +------- + +In LaTeX3 terminology a galley is a rectangular area which receives +text and other material filling it from top. The vertically extend of +a galley is normally not restricted: instead certain chunks are taken +off the top of an already partially filled galley to form columns or +similar areas on a page. This process is typically asynchronous but +there are ways to control or change its behaviour. The xgalley module +provides a mechanism for filling galleys and controlling the spacing, +hyphenation and justification within them. + +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 +---- + +The issue tracker for LaTeX3 bugs is currently located at + + https://github.com/latex3/svn-mirror/issues + +Please report specific issues with LaTeX3 code there.
