+name xdoc
+category Package
+shortdesc Extending the LaTeX doc system.
+longdesc Xdoc is a project to rewrite the implementation of the LaTeX doc
+longdesc package (in a broader sense) to make its features more general and
+longdesc flexible. For example, where doc only provides commands for
+longdesc documenting macros and environments, xdoc also provides commands
+longdesc for similarly documenting package options and switches. This is
+longdesc furthermore done in such a way that it is very easy to add more
+longdesc such commands for documenting things, such as e.g., templates (an
+longdesc important concept in the future LaTeX3) and program components for
+longdesc other languages (functions, classes, procedures, etc.). A side
+longdesc effect is that many minor bugs in doc are fixed. The design aims
+longdesc to take advantage of many still experimental features of future
+longdesc versions of LaTeX, but since these are neither reasonably stable
+longdesc nor widely available, the configuration interfaces and package
+longdesc author commands of xdoc are likely to change. To still provide a
+longdesc stable interface for other packages to build upon, the actual
+longdesc package names include a "major version number" of sorts. The drop-
+longdesc in replacement package for standard doc is xdoc2; it requires
+longdesc nothing outside standard LaTeX2e. The docindex/docidx2e package
+longdesc changes the index and list of changes typesetting so that none of
+longdesc the formatting has to be controlled via the index style file. The
+longdesc docindex package provides control of formatting via templates
+longdesc (nice interface, but requires several experimental packages),
+longdesc whereas the docidx2e package has traditional raw macro interfaces
+longdesc and works with standard LaTeX2e. [description copied from TeX
