the daemon's beginning to sound positively excited: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: keycommand > Author's name: Florent CHERVET > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/keycommand > Summary description: key-value interface for commands and environments > in LaTeX > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > I realized I made the implementation of > ewkeyenvironment+ > before. > (with run-time expansion as in ewkeycommand+) > > Then I tested it and updated the documentation. > > Even if the syntax doesn't please to everybody (but who does > ?
