As of -December 1, 1999 -the following parts can be downloaded. -\begin{description} - - \item[xparse] Prototype implementation of the interface for declaring - document command syntax. See the \texttt{.dtx} files for - documentation. - - \item[template] Prototype implementation of the template interface - (needs parts of \texttt{xparse}). - - The file \texttt{template.dtx} in that directory has a large section - of documentation at the front describing the commands in the - interface and giving a `worked example' building up some templates - for caption formatting. - - \item[xcontents] Interface description for table of contents data (no - code yet). Coding examples have been thoroughly discussed on the - \texttt{latex-l} list. - - \item[xfootnote] Working examples for generating footnotes, - etc. Needs \texttt{xparse} and \texttt{template}. - - \end{description} -All examples are organised in subdirectories and additionally - available as \texttt{gzip} \texttt{tar} files. - - Please remember -that this material is intended only for experimentation and comments; -thus any aspect of it, e.g., the user interface or the functionality, -may change and, in fact, is very likely to change. -For this reason it is explicitly forbidden to place this material on -\acro{CD-ROM} distributions or public servers. - -These concepts, as well as their implementation, are under discussion -on the list \texttt{LATEX-L}.
