CTAN update: expltools
by CTAN Announcements 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Vít Starý Novotný submitted an update to the expltools package. Version: 2025-03-27 License: lppl1.3c gpl2+ Summary description: Development tools for expl3 programmers Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## expltools 2025-03-27 ### explcheck v0.8.0 #### Development - Add syntactic analysis. (#66) - Add Lua option `verbose` and a command-line option `--verbose` that prints extra information in human-readable output. (#66) For example, here is the output of processing the files `markdown.tex` and `markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty` of the Markdown package for TeX with TeX Live 2024: ``` $ explcheck --verbose `kpsewhich markdown.tex markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty` ``` ``` Checking 2 files Checking /usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/tex/generic/markdown/markdown.tex OK File size: 103,972 bytes Preprocessing results: - Doesn't seem like a LaTeX style file - Six expl3 parts spanning 97,657 bytes (94% of file): 1. Between 48:14 and 620:11 2. Between 637:14 and 788:4 3. Between 791:14 and 2104:8 4. Between 2108:14 and 3398:4 5. Between 3413:14 and 4210:4 6. Between 4287:14 and 4444:4 Lexical analysis results: - 19,344 TeX tokens in expl3 parts Syntactic analysis results: - 645 top-level expl3 calls spanning all tokens Checking /.../tex/latex/markdown/markdownthemewitiko_markdown_defaults.sty OK File size: 34,894 bytes Preprocessing results: - Seems like a LaTeX style file - Seven expl3 parts spanning 18,515 bytes (53% of file): 1. Between 47:14 and 349:4 2. Between 382:14 and 431:2 3. Between 446:14 and 512:4 4. Between 523:14 and 564:2 5. Between 865:14 and 931:2 6. Between 969:14 and 1003:2 7. Between 1072:14 and 1328:2 Lexical analysis results: - 3,848 TeX tokens in expl3 parts Syntactic analysis results: - 69 top-level expl3 calls spanning 2,082 tokens (54% of tokens, ~29% of file) Total: 0 errors, 0 warnings in 2 files Aggregate statistics: - 138,866 total bytes - 116,172 expl3 bytes (84% of files) containing 23,192 TeX tokens - 714 top-level expl3 calls spanning 21,426 tokens (92% of tokens, ~77% of files) ``` - Add Lua option `terminal_width` that determines the layout of the human-readable command-line output. (#66) - Stabilize the Lua API of processing steps. (#64) All processing steps are now functions that accept the following arguments: 1. The filename of a processed file 2. The content of the processed file 3. A registry of issues with the processed file (write-only) 4. Intermediate analysis results (read-write) 5. Options (read-only, optional) #### Fixes - During preprocessing, only consider standard delimiters of expl3 parts that are either not indented or not in braces. (discussed in #17, fixed in #66) - During preprocessing, support `\endinput`, `\tex_endinput:D`, and `\file_input_stop:` as standard delimiters of expl3 parts. (#66) - During preprocessing, do not produce warning W101 (Unexpected delimiters) for a `\ProvidesExpl*` after `\ExplSyntaxOn`. (#66) - Prevent newlines from being recognized as catcode 15 (invalid) with Lua 5.2 due to unreliable order of table keys. (#66) #### Continuous integration - Add regression tests for TeX Live 2024. (#66) - Configure Dependabot version updates for GitHub Actions.
