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.
