It consists of a series of features extending +the capabilities of TeX3. + +Since compatibility between e-TeX and TeX3 has been a main concern, +e-TeX has two modes of operation. In TeX compatibility mode it fully +deserves the name TeX and there are neither extended features nor +additional primitive commands. That means in particular that e-TeX +passes the TRIP test without any restriction. There are, however, a +few minor modifications that would be legitimate in any implementation +of TeX. In extended mode there are additional primitive commands and +the extended features of e-TeX are available. |
