The present release includes boxes receiving text for typesetting. - l3dt for data tables; - l3galley l3regex replace operations; - l3sort sequences, token lists or comma-lists, according to user- specified comparison criteria; - l3str string manipulation; - l3tl-build list building; - l3tl_analysis analysis; and - xcoffins, which allows the alignment of boxes using a series of ‘handle’ positions, supplementing the simple TeX reference point.
