The development repository for expl3, the LaTeX3 programming layer that forms the modern kernel of the LaTeX typesetting system. It contains the stable l3kernel code, experimental packages, and test material, all built on top of LaTeX2e.
Use cases
- write LaTeX packages using the expl3 programming layer
- develop or contribute to the LaTeX3 kernel
- test experimental LaTeX3 interfaces before kernel integration
- understand how modern LaTeX internals are structured
- build document command syntax with xparse-style interfaces
When to choose
- you are writing or maintaining LaTeX packages that use the L3 programming layer
- you need the stable expl3 kernel code or want to track its development
- you want to experiment with upcoming LaTeX3 interfaces
When to avoid
- you just want to write LaTeX documents rather than program the kernel
- you need a stable, packaged release rather than development code
- you are looking for user-facing LaTeX documentation or tutorials
