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: - xgalley, which controls
boxes receiving text for typesetting. - l3dt: kernel support
for data tables; - l3galley: kernel support for xgalley; -
l3regex: kernel support for regular expression search and
replace operations; - l3sort: kernel support for sorting
sequences, token lists or comma-lists, according to user-
specified comparison criteria; - l3str: kernel support for
string manipulation; - l3tl-build: kernel support for token
list building; - l3tl_analysis: kernel support for token list
analysis; and - xcoffins, which allows the alignment of boxes
using a series of 'handle' positions, supplementing the simple
TeX reference point. 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 2012-11-21.
