CTAN Update: l3kernel + l3packages + l3experimental

Date: February 8, 2017 6:14:16 PM CET

The LaTeX Team submitted an update to the l3kernel + l3packages + l3experimental bundles. Version: SVN 6846 2017-02-07 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: LaTeX3 programming conventions Announcement text:

Snapshot of SVN 6846 ==================== In this release the l3sort module is integrated into l3kernel and so available directly on loading expl3. As part of this move, the 'result' functions have been renamed to - \sort_return_same: - \sort_return_swapped: with the older names (\sort_ordered: and \sort_reversed:) retained until the end of 2018. This release also extends l3docstrip to aid with the LaTeX23 'boundary': the notation \@@@@par in a source will now yield \@@par in the live code.

The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://ctan.org/pkg/l3kernel http://ctan.org/pkg/l3packages http://ctan.org/pkg/l3experimental The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/l3kernel/ http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/l3packages/ http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/l3experimental/

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

l3experimental – Experimental LaTeX3 concepts

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 LaTeX2ε 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;
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.
