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 system (for those who don’t want them, e-TeX’s extensions can be disabled, leaving a functionally standard TeX system). -<p>The extensions range from the simple (increasing the number of -available registers from 256 to 65536) through to extremely subtle +<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 +<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.

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. -<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=etex">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=etex</a> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=etex">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=etex</a> </body> |
