Provided are: -Each resource is handled in a separate package. +– luatexbase-compat: compatibility helpers; +– luatexbase-regs: allocation of registers and the like; +– luatexbase-loader: Lua module loading; +– luatexbase-attr: attribute allocation; +– luatexbase-cctb: catcode table allocation; +– luatexbase-modutils: Lua module declaration; and +- luatexbase-mcb: callbacks extensions. -The resources considered are: -- registers (\count, \box, etc.) -> luatexbase-regs -- Lua module loading -> luatexbase-loader -- \attribute's -> luatexbase-attr -- \catcodetable's -> luatexbase-cctb -- Lua callbacks -> luamcallbacks - -Additional convenience packages: -- Lua module declaration -> luatexbase-modutils -- compatibility helpers -> luatexbase-compat - -WARNING: these packages are subject to change or even be merged or disappear in -the near future! +Additionally, a `luatexbase' package loads all of the above in one step (and +does nothing else) for your convenience.
