shortdesc Extending the LaTeX doc system.
relocated 1
longdesc Xdoc is a project to rewrite the implementation of the LaTeX
longdesc doc package (in a broader sense) to make its features more
longdesc general and flexible. For example, where doc only provides
longdesc commands for documenting macros and environments, xdoc also
longdesc provides commands for similarly documenting package options and
longdesc switches. This is furthermore done in such a way that it is
longdesc very easy to add more such commands for documenting things,
longdesc such as e.g., templates (an important concept in the future
longdesc LaTeX3) and program components for other languages (functions,
longdesc classes, procedures, etc.). A side effect is that many minor
longdesc bugs in doc are fixed. The design aims to take advantage of
longdesc many still experimental features of future versions of LaTeX,
longdesc but since these are neither reasonably stable nor widely
longdesc available, the configuration interfaces and package author
longdesc 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
longdesc drop-in replacement package for standard doc is xdoc2; it
longdesc requires nothing outside standard LaTeX2e. The
longdesc docindex/docidx2e package changes the index and list of changes
longdesc typesetting so that none of the formatting has to be controlled
longdesc via the index style file. The docindex package provides control
longdesc of formatting via templates (nice interface, but requires
longdesc several experimental packages), whereas the docidx2e package
longdesc has traditional raw macro interfaces and works with standard
longdesc LaTeX2e.
