This package forms parts of expl3, and contains the code used to interface with backends (drivers) across the expl3 codebase. The functions here are defined differently depending on the engine in use. As such, these are distributed separately from l3kernel to allow this code to be updated on an independent schedule.
The l3experimental packages are a collection of experimental implementations for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the Designer Interface. Some of them work as stand alone packages, providing new functionality, and can be used on top of LaTeX2e with no changes to the existing kernel. The present release includes: l3benchmark for measuring the time taken by TeX to run certain code; l3draw, a code-level interface for constructing drawings; l3graphics, an interfaces for the inclusion of graphics files; l3opacity, support for opacity in PDF output; l3str, support for string manipulation; l3bitset, support for bit vectors; l3sys-shell, which provides abstractions for common shell functions like file deletion and copying; xcoffins, which allows the alignment of boxes using a series of 'handle' positions, supplementing the simple TeX reference point; xgalley, which controls boxes receiving text for typesetting.
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 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
