$Id: README,v 1.1 2007/05/28 15:16:54 lehman stable $ ABOUT The elatex package is a toolbox of programming facilities geared primarily towards LaTeX class and package authors. It provides LaTeX frontends to some of the new primitives provided by e-TeX as well as some generic tools which are not strictly related to e-TeX but match the profile of this package. This package will not modify any part of the LaTeX kernel. Its name is not meant to imply that it patches LaTeX such that the kernel makes use of e-TeX facilities by default. As of this writing, the package is work in progress in the sense that it does not cover all e-TeX primitives. At present, it provides facilities for macro definitions, expansion control, hook management, and macro patching. LICENSE Copyright (c) 2007 Philipp Lehman. This package is author- maintained.
