What is the status of the LaTeX3 Project?












2















I was just downloading a new copy of LaTeX for my Mac and I noticed this comment on the www.latex-project.org website:



The LaTeX3 Project



LaTeX3 Project



The LaTeX3 project is a long-term research project to develop the next version of the LaTeX typesetting system.



So I looked at the link and it refers to the 1999 article by Mittelbach and Rowley describing the LaTeX3 Project.



So it's been 20 years since the Mittlebach and Rowley article came out. That's certainly long-term. Did LaTeX3 ever happen?

    the latex3 project maintain latex, so it is still very active. most of the latex3 code is available in the expl3 package callable from latex2e and used in fontspec, unicode-math siunitx and serveral other popular packages.
