The l3kernel bundle provides an implementation of the LaTeX3 programmers' interface, as a set of packages that run under LaTeX 2e. The interface provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other future code are built: it is an API for TeX programmers. The packages are set up so that the LaTeX3 conventions can be used with regular LaTeX 2e packages. All the files of the bundle are also available in the project's Subversion (SVN) repository date: 2014-01-07 19:05:28 +0100

The packages are set up so that the LaTeX3 conventions can be used with regular LaTeX 2e packages.
The bundle holds prototype implementations of concepts for a LaTeX designer interface, to be used with the experimental LaTeX kernel as programming tools and kernel support. Packages provided in this release are: - l3keys2e, which makes the facilities of the kernel module l3keys available for use by LaTeX 2e packages; - xfrac, which provides flexible split-level fractions; - xparse, which provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands; and - xtemplate, which provides a means of defining generic functions using a key-value syntax. All the files of the bundle are also available in the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project. The bundle on CTAN is based on a snapshot of the SVN repository on; it should be used with copies of the l3kernel at SVN version 2544 or later. date: 2014-01-01 10:11:48 +0100
This collection contains implementations for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the Designer Interface. The packages here are considered broadly stable (The LaTeX3 Project does not expect the interfaces to alter radically). These packages are built on LaTeX2e conventions at the interface level, and so may not migrate in the current form to a stand-alone LaTeX3 format. Packages provided: xparse, which provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands xfp, an expandable IEEE 754 FPU for LaTeX l3keys2e, which makes the facilities of the kernel module l3keys available for use by LaTeX 2e packages xtemplate, which provides a means of defining generic functions using a key-value syntax xfrac, which provides flexible split-level fractions
LaTeX is a front end for the TeX text formatting system. Easier to use than TeX. LaTeX is essentially a set of TeX macros which provide convenient, predefined document formats for users. It also allows to compile LaTeX files directly to PDF format. The TeX documentation is located in the texlive-doc package.
This is a collection of fonts for use with standard latex packages and classes. It includes 'invisible' fonts (for use with the slides class), line and circle fonts (for use in the picture environment) and 'latex symbol' fonts. For full support of a latex installation, some Computer Modern font variants cmbsy(6-9), cmcsc(8,9), cmex(7-9) and cmmib(5-9) from the amsfonts distribution, are also necessary. The fonts are available as Metafont source, and metric (tfm) files are also provided. Most of the fonts are also available in Adobe Type 1 format, in the amsfonts distribution. date: 2012-07-07 15:54:01 +0200

LaTeX is a widely-used macro package for TeX, providing many basic document formating commands extended by a wide range of packages. It is a development of Leslie Lamport's LaTeX 2.09, and superseded the older system in June 1994. The basic distribution is catalogued separately, at latex-base; apart from a large set of contributed packages and third-party documentation (elsewhere on the archive), the distribution includes: - a bunch of required packages, which LaTeX authors are "entitled to assume" will be present on any system running LaTeX; and - a minimal set of documentation detailing differences from the 'old' version of LaTeX in the areas of user commands, font selection and control, class and package writing, font encodings, configuration options and modification of LaTeX. For downloading details, see the linked catalogue entries above. date: 2013-03-06 18:48:43 +0100
