Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
etextools provides many (purely expandable) tools for LaTeX
- Extensive list management (csv lists, lists of single
tokens/characters, etoolbox lists): . purely expandable loops (csvloop, forcsvloop etc.) . conversion (csvtolist etc.)) . addition/deletion (csvadd, listdel etc.) . purely expandable linear interpolation (interval, locinterplin)
- Tests on strings (among them ifstrnum to check if a
string could be parsed by eTeX's
umber)
- Selective detokenization (detokenizeChars) and character-
test
- Purely expandable macros with options (FE@testopt) or
modifiers (FE@modifiers)
- Vectorized form of futurelet: futuredef can read more
than one single token
The pdf documentation contains a lot of example in verbatim.
v3.1 (2009/09/30) - pretty stable - Any suggestion welcome !
