This is the README file for the ltxkeys package.

VERSION

Version 0.0.1, July 2011

SUMMARY

The ltxkeys package provides facilities for creating and managing
keys in the sense of the keyval and xkeyval packages, but it
is intended to be more robust and faster. Its robustness emanates
from its ability to preserve braces in key values throughout
parsing. The need to preserve braces in key values emerges often
in parsing keys. This is often the case in, eg, the xwatermark
package. The package is faster than the xkeyval package because,
among other features, it avoids character-wise parsing of key
values (which is called selective sanitization by the xkeyval
package).

It also provides additional functions for defining and
managing keys.

In the ltxkeys package, the notion of 'presetting' keys differs
from that of the xkeyval package. Only 'launched keys' are
preset in the ltxkeys package.
